I use Mark Rowland's app on Veterinary Care of Exotic Pets, mainly for drug doses, but have also learnt how to blood sample guinea pigs from it.

Another vote for the bsava formulary, as a final year/soon to be new grad (hopefully) I find the procedures one useful too. Also have the Rossdales lab guide which goes into good depth. NADIS Vet was also good for farm revision although not as easy to use as their website and not all species online available on the app yet so may get deleted soon. The exotic pet vet is good as a first reference for drug doses/sampling videos etc but I don't find it as useful as the exotics formulary book/bsava manuals as from my position as someone unexperienced I need a bit more info. MRCVS app I look at every now and then for a catch up on latest news.

Complain to the boss!

[/quote]He's a tight b*****d and won't listen!! Actually its because the all internet goes through a proxy server which is linked to the Vetcom PMS and doesn't like anything else being attached to it. I even had to return an iMac computer I wanted in my office because even after 3 hours of the tech man trying we could not get it to link up.

My £10 Tesco 'phone held together with Sellotape doesn't seems to do apps (whatever they are).....

I have a windows phone so I don't really have to worry about apps!

Weather apps probably!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. previously BlackBerry user and I'm pissed off that I have to use my data allowance and pay when abroad to receive email now! Being a bit of a dinosaur I'm not a great app person, certainly no veterinary apps on mine, I would rather go to a computer if I wanted to access the internet. The screen of even a large phone I find is still restrictive, phone reception is crap at home and the practice and I don't have WiFi at work.

However, in answer to the OP even though its perhaps not what you wanted, my favourite is Ski Tracks. It was great fun and surprisingly illuminating getting the stats on my last skiing trip.

My most useful work associated app has got to be Choc Tox. Enter the weight of your patients, the amount of whatever chocolate (done by cocoa solids) and it gives you and indication of what level of problem you have. Client app, most regularly used has been the cardalis app to get clients logging sleeping heart rates at home in my cardiac patients (although I don't have any on the drug itself!). Also can set medication reminders.
