### 2/5 — No updates in the app

*2025-11-14, version 4.4*

No 2025 algorithms still within the app.

### 4/5 — Amazing app but needs updating

*2024-07-18, version 4.4*

This app is incredible. Shows the order of operations and explains all for free. One of the only downslopes that I have come across is that some of the things haven’t been updated since sometime around 2013. Other than that, Fabulous!

### 2/5 — cannot save photos

*2023-09-09*

whenever i try to save a photo on ipad or iphone , it shuts down the app

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. The app does not provide a feature to save photos, however, it is possible to print sections or save a PDF of a section.

### 4/5 — Very, very nice

*2022-04-27*

It’s an amazing app! I absolutely love it!
It would be nice to be able to change specialty though, I move between floors alot but all in all it’s awesome.

### 3/5 — Larger capabilities?

*2022-02-10, version 3.5*

Please allow us to enlarge the screen. The prints is too tiny to read, especially if used in a potential emergent situation. Could this lead to patient harm due to the poor readability? Otherwise great app.

### 3/5 — Physician

*2021-08-19, version 3.4*

Very disappointed that ACLS algorithms especially the arrest algorithm cannot be made larger.  The print is tiny and renders access to this as an immediate tool in the moment its needed, useless for older eyes. Especially the information in the grey boxes.😕

### 3/5 — Not listed as a professional

*2018-05-12, version 2.0*

I find it disappointing when I looked for specialty Nurse Practitioner was not listed
We make up a large number of care givers

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2017-11-13, version 2.0*

The new update makes the app finally helpful. 
Guidelines and tools are easy to use and helpful

### 5/5 — App has improved a lot.

*2017-11-12, version 2.0*

Thank you AHA!

### 5/5 — Much better!

*2017-11-10, version 2.0*

Thank goodness! This app is much better now. It looks cleaner and it’s easier to navigate! Thanks for listening!

### 5/5 — New improved App

*2017-11-10, version 2.0*

Cleaner layout, easy to navigate and provided tools at POC.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Would give No stars if it was an option

*2026-04-08, version 4.4*

You cannot access info easily! Bring back the old algorithm charts that were available as soon as you opened the app. There is no way you can use this is a true situation

### 1/5 — No NPs?

*2025-07-18, version 4.4*

Where is the option to select Nurse practitioner as your classification when starting the app?

### 1/5 — Can’t enter classification

*2024-03-29, version 4.3*

The Submit button doesn’t accept my classification settings.  

If I click on it without selecting any options it displays the error message “Please select both options”.  So, the button partially works.  If I then select both options, it doesn’t clear the error message and doesn’t do anything.

If the app can’t get this working, how can I trust everything else works as expected?

### 1/5 — Very difficult to use and slow to respond

*2024-02-13, version 4.3*

This is the most inefficient and difficult application to use, at least offer the paper spiral-bound ECC Handbook as an alternative.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-08-20, version 4.1*

I cannot submit my classification and specialty so I can use the app.  The submit button does not work.   The support feature says ERROR NOT FOUND.

### 1/5 — AHA interface

*2022-03-27, version 3.5*

The interface is not user friendly. The information is not presented well. This looks like a case of an intelligent doctor attempting to communicate information in a way that worked for his brain without consideration for the end user.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-04-10, version 2.0*

You would think bls would be included

### 1/5 — Bring back animal fats!

*2019-03-10, version 2.0*

These guys are criminals.  Pushing a toxic high carb and processed oil diet for decades.

### 1/5 — Poorly Executed

*2017-09-13, version 1.7*

App opened but clearly had no clinician input in design. Menu is a greyscale list leading to other lists. The drug calculator I was hoping for turned out to be a list of risk calculators, so I can speedily calculate risks on the go, I guess. No algorithms or datapoint sheets or anything useful one might really need to access in a time-sensitive situation.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2017-09-13, version 1.7*

It opened but there's nothing useful in it no algorithms or anything as such.   UpToDate is infinitely more useful.... deleted this from apps as it is useless.
