Constantly Crashing

App crashes almost constantly on start since last update. Force closing app doesn’t fix, rebooting phone doesn't fix. Have to uninstall and reinstall, works for a few hours or a day and starts crashing again, hence another install. Had zero issues before update. iPhone 7+ 256gb with latest iOS ipdate. Hoping you can fix soon. Depend on this for work.

Wonderful resource

Easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing, this is a fantastic resource for anyone involved in Pediatric medicine or women’s health!

Very useful!

I’m a PGY2 family medicine resident and this app makes hospital rotations so much easier. If you’re not an ID specialist, this is a good app to have handy. Makes you look smart during morning rounds, lol.

Great app!

This is a great resource and very user friendly. Highly recommended.

Hamilton/Southern Ontario

Hello,

Love the application! Very useful and handy. I was wondering if you had any data for Southern Ontario / Hamilton / Toronto area? I’m a student from McMaster and would love local susceptibilities and resistance patterns!

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words! We’d love to add Hamilton - please voice your support to the antimicrobial stewardship team there and contact us at hello [at] spectrum.md

Needs duration of treatment

Useful app but I feel like duration of treatment should be added for the pathogens

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! Spectrum is actually customizable to include this information. If you can let us know which institution you are affiliated with, we can pass on this recommendation to them. Our email is hello [at] firstline.org

So helpful

As a medical student this helps so much to determine how to treat different infections encountered.

Fantastic point of care tool.

Must have for ER and IM physicians. Use this augmented approach to ensure proper antibiotic stewardship.
