Free ---> Expensive
I used to rely on this free app to get my CPT codes for cases i've done. without warning the app now wants $80 per year for that. If you have an older version DO NOT UPDATE! I understand that the AMA is probably forcing them to charge this, but come on! The AMA should use my dues to pay for this. Forcing me to pay this much so I know what code to bill a procedure under is extortion. We have CPT code books in all the procure rooms but it's slow and painful to look them up like that all the time. If the books are readily available, why isn't there at least a pdf version available for a 1 time fee?

Super useful initially, now ransomware
This app used to be my go to for CPT codes but recently it started crashing and not opening. There was no communication that this app would be changed to a pay for use app. I would give it a five initially but the company essentially turned this into ransomware.
Great App that is Working Again
This is a great app and I'm glad it is working again! Nicely updated. Got rid of the drugs that weren't really helpful and focused on what makes the app great - CPT to ASA crosswalk. Really a helpful app that I use everyday. At first I was not happy with the price increase, but as others have said I guess the developer's costs went up. I think he should communicate that so people understand the reason.

Free for years now $80? Not worth it.
I've been using this app for my ASA billing codes since 2011. All of a sudden it's $80 to "subscribe? Big mistake Abeo.
I would guess many of the people using this app are also using Abeo for billing. As such, we are already paying you a significant amount. It has never been a perfect app. No way it's worth more than $5.
I've built up my "favorite" procedure codes many times but it deletes the list randomly. The search function only recognizes words exactly as they are in the descriptions. So sometimes it takes a while to find the right words to get the code for the procedure I want. I've used it in even with these problems but now it's useless. No way I'm paying $80. I'll go back to the RVU book.
Very disappointed.

Glad it's back!
Far less than the cost of coding books. I'm surprised at how long the company covered everyone's costs. It's a hard adjustment when something used to be free but many willing to pay to have it.
Still a great product
If you have ever seen/paid for the ICD-10 or ASA crosswalk books, the new fee schedule is reasonable. It still makes my job $80 easier.
WAS great, no longer
Was a useful app, but not worth the ridiculous price.
Without warning disappeared. Reappeared for $79. Bye-bye.
I really appreciated using this app and came to depend on it in my workflow, including curating a long list of favorite CPT codes over the course of a couple years. Recently the app began crashing on opening, and it disappeared from the App Store. The Abeo site said there was some technical issue with the App Store, etc. Later the app was again available in the App Store. But now CPT codes (including all the favorites I've curated over the couple years of using this app) are no longer available unless I pay $79. This is essentially the same thing that "ransom-ware" does. To my knowledge this change happened without any warning or communication from Abeo Coder. Overall, I've appreciated utilizing this app, and I understand the need to make money off of one's work. However, the transition to a paid model was handled horribly and created problems with my personal workflow. Because of this and the jarring price tag for a previously free utility I will be deleting Abeo Coder from my device.

Once a great free app is now $79?!?
Prior to the newest range of updates and cost changes I used this app daily. I do not understand how a free app now requires $79/year out of the blue. Sadly I think I will be deleting this app due to the high cost :-/
Update not working
Don't update. They require a subscription for $79.99 and it still does not work.
