I'm looking for a good normal labs app for the iPhone. There are several offered, but most have few labs, dubious accuracy, or other limitations based on the reviews that I have seen. Only a handful appear to be done by actual medical professionals.

One called RH Medical Labs is what I'm thinking about getting. It apparently has over 600 labs, has a view that's like the fishbones we draw in actual charts (for CBC, ABG, Chem 8, etc.), and has descriptions of the lab, how to interpret each lab, etc. By "fishbones", I mean the graphical figures like as follows (for CBC, ignore the periods - had to do that to get the right alignment):

.\ 14.2 /
12 ----- 250
../ ...... \
The link for this one in the iTunes Store is: RH Medical Labs.

I would like to see what other people think? Is this the best? If not, which is? I don't mind paying a few dollars. I just don't want to jump from app to app; I'd rather start off with the best one.

MD EZ Labs is a nice stand-alone reference that has peds and adult values and blurbs about use-and is free (though I've never pored over it for accuracy).

The Mobile Merck Medicus, which is also free for HCPs, has a nice lab reference as well.
 
Thank you! I will certainly try out the free ones. That being said, I'm still open to ideas.
