## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Payment for a life saving app is not equitable

*2024-09-26*

I’m saddened that a once-free app now requires a paywall. For people/organizations who cannot afford an app, this is problematic and contributes to health care DISPARITIES. I had no problem purchasing, but knowing how organizations work, a $2.99/yr cost will quickly rise.

### 1/5 — Shame that you need to pay

*2024-09-20*

What a shame that you now have to pay to use a resuscitation algorithm by the AHA

### 1/5 — This WAS a good app…

*2024-07-01*

This was a good app up until it was paywalled and taken over by the AHA. MGH did a great job of having this information accessible and usable by anyone, but don’t download unless you want to shell out for the info.

### 2/5 — Missing septic shock guidelines

*2025-03-25*

First of all, this should be free. The AHA has a free app. Also, there is no septic shock guidelines listed. If this is PALS and paid for, it should be there.

### 3/5 — Vitals

*2026-02-18*

Please bring back the pediatric vital signs table! Used to be my go to reference

### 4/5 — Excellent app but I miss the vital signs reference

*2025-11-07*

This is a superb app and allows me to have PALS on me wherever I go. My only gripe is that the recent update got rid of the vital signs reference — a reference I used daily. I would be grateful for the vital signs to be brought back.

### 5/5 — Vital Signs in Children

*2025-11-25*

Whyyyy did you remove the section vital signs in children???? Please please come back with them

### 5/5 — Helpful quick reference

*2025-02-09*

While we may have some of these tools available in the hospital setting this is a great quick reference for reminders and standards of practice.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2021-12-01*

This app is exactly what I’ve been looking for! It’s the best out there.

### 5/5 — Just What I’ve Been Looking For

*2021-11-13*

This App provides me instant access to all of the intellectual resources that I need when making critical decisions at the bedside. It works smoothly, has an intuitive user interface, and contains a TON of useful clinical information.

### 5/5 — Amazing Innovation

*2021-11-11*

The way the broselow tape is set is amazing. Its intuitive and gives you the info you need right away.
