*2024-03-10, version 1.6*

Just want I needed after spending so much time and effort on other resources!! Fantastic streamlining and treatment plans!! Love it

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2024-01-17*

Too late to get support 
Content can’t be transferred to new device???

### 1/5 — Disappointed - (personal opinion)

*2022-09-08*

In 2017,  I purchased this great app (no doubt) for $99.
When I got my iPhone last year (2021) and re-downloaded the app; It was not working and I have been asked to buy the new version 6e (pay again)!!
When I contacted the support service “Unbound” I got the same response!

If there is less than a star ….

### 5/5 — Best EMS app. 5 stars for sure.

*2021-08-12, version 1.6*

Paramedic here, love the app. Great refresher. VeryConcise. I love the section for prehospital care. Over all, I would buy this app even if was double the price .

### 2/5 — Current update has a lot of problems

*2021-02-26, version 1.6*

Have used this app for years and love it, but current version has horrible index with many topics missing or mislabeled. I.e. try looking up “eclampsia”. Not there. Look up pre-eclampsia and tap on it and you get PTSD. Needs serious work.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2020-11-24, version 1.6*

It’s rapid and accurate

### 1/5 — Terrible don’t buy !! Does not work

*2020-10-30, version 1.6*

Paid 99.99.. no content !!! Do NOT buy

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2019-11-09, version 1.5*

I can’t live without this app. Best app I’ve used so far. Definitely a top 10 in my folder. I am a finishing nurse practitioner student and I cannot express how much I love this app.

### 1/5 — Not subdivided into topics despite tab for it

*2019-07-16, version 1.5*

For $100, this should at least be divided into organ systems instead of A-Z.... otherwise great content
