### 1/5 — Greedy Developers

*2025-11-10, version 5.1*

I originally paid for this app and now it’s a subscription. Don’t be greedy. Let providers be grandfathered in to previous purchases.

### 1/5 — Already purchased app in past now want to charge subscription fees….

*2025-11-10, version 5.1*

Purchased app with LAST and as it should just be updated now I can’t even access the original app I purchased let alone the updates

### 1/5 — Poor Form

*2025-11-09, version 5.1*

Paid for the application. Now they want $6.99 annually. It’s fine to charge people the annual amount who have not paid the fee before. It is not OK to revoke the membership of everybody who paid before. At the bare minimum, everybody who paid before should have their money refunded. But, in all actuality, people who paid before should retain their memberships.

### 1/5 — Bait & switch

*2025-11-01, version 5.1*

Started charging more money to those who had already purchased lifetime access. Really scummy business practices.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-10-29, version 5.1*

Used to be decent, now they charge and the app is unstable and crashes

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2025-10-23, version 5.1*

Paid for full version of app only to be bait and switched to a annual subscription fee no thanks

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money. Use ChatGPT instead.

*2025-10-14*

Despite having paid for it previously, I then had to pay for another subscription.  I then had to reset my phone, and it makes me pay for a third subscription or forces me to email ASRA for assistance. I now just use ChatGPT. Everyone in my office has deleted the app. Do not waste your money. Just use ChatGPT. All the information is there and in a much better format.

### 1/5 — What?!

*2025-10-11, version 5.1*

Already paid for the app, now locked out and have to pay a subscription with no legacy.  Low ball move…low…smh.

### 1/5 — Now pay to play

*2025-10-06, version 5.1*

Like others have said, this used to be a worthy app with a one time fee. They have converted to a subscription based model. I highly recommend seeking alternatives. As a general non-supporter of subscription based models, especially in the context of medical practice, I consider this poor form.

### 1/5 — Anesthesiologist 1015

*2025-09-30, version 5.1*

Used to be free and helpful. Now it’s a fee based service. Bye ASRA

### 1/5 — Cash grab

*2025-09-26, version 5.1*

$7/year for something that really should be free or at most a one-time purchase. I bought this app originally as a one-time purchases and now I can’t even access it because they want me to subscribe for information that really should be readily accessible for free. Shame on ASRA

### 1/5 — Patient safety failure

*2025-09-23, version 5.1*

In moving from a free app to a yearly subscription, ASRA engages in a money grab that imperils patients and practitioners.

### 1/5 — What they did should be illegal

*2025-09-22*

I originally paid a one-time fee, and suddenly they’ve switched to a yearly subscription model. It feels like a bait-and-switch and comes across as nickel-and-diming loyal users. The content itself is still solid and was once considered the gold standard for perioperative coagulation guidance, but the new pricing structure is unreasonable. Even those of us who already paid are not grandfathered in. I’ll be turning to other resources instead of ASRA going forward.

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2025-09-22, version 5.1*

Paid for the app and then they transitioned to a subscription without any refund. You can find the material online anyways.

### 1/5 — Predatory

*2026-05-15*

Should not have to pay for publicly available info

### 1/5 — ASRA will not get another penny from me

*2026-05-15*

Embarrassing money grab after paying a “one-time” fee, only to be converted to a subscription model and then utilizing funds to legally intimidate other physicians who offer free alternatives for guidelines that are freely available. Shameless grifting.

### 1/5 — Double payment

*2026-04-21*

Asking to pay a subscription after already paying for the app - predatory practice. Will be cancelling.

### 1/5 — Changed the terms

*2026-02-07, version 6.1*

Trash. I paid for the initial ASRA coags app which at the time was a one time, lifetime fee. Now that I have updated it is making me start a subscription service. Garbage, honor your initial terms asra!!!

### 1/5 — Paid for app but now it’s a subscription

*2026-02-04, version 6.1*

Lost access to what used to be an excellent app even though I paid for it. Now there are many alternatives available. All my colleagues have been disappointed with ASRA.

### 1/5 — Paid for app now need to pay more

*2026-01-28*

I already paid for this app. And now they want more? Cmon

### 1/5 — Unable to transfer now have to pay!

*2026-01-01, version 6.1*

I had the 2.9 coags version but since updating to newer iphone I can’t access without paying! I had a lifetime subscription smh

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2025-12-20, version 6.1*

I paid for this app for lifetime access before it was a subscription, and used it for several years. Now I am kicked out of it, requiring a paid subscription to use it. Those that paid should have been grandfathered in. Dishonest. Deleting this app.

### 1/5 — Locked me out after paying

*2025-12-03, version 6.1*

They put up a paywall right after I paid for the app…

### 1/5 — Purchase erased for new subscription model

*2025-12-01, version 5.1*

I bought this 7 years ago as a resident and now found I can no longer use the app I paid for without a subscription.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Fantastic app for patient care

*2026-02-08, version 6.1*

Unfortunately lots of downvotes for a really great app. This is a nonprofit society that develops guidelines, including for this app.

### 5/5 — Great product

*2025-11-12, version 5.1*

Amazing product

### 5/5 — Great update for a useful app

*2025-11-08*

This app helps anyone who cares for patients undergoing procedures or surgery and helps them schedule anticoagulants through the process. It lets you know when to stop and when to restart meds with a few taps. Must have for NPs PAs MDs or anyone scheduling cases on patients on any anticoagulants.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-09-21, version 5.1*

Exceptional resource for anyone doing pain related procedures. And a cheap annual rate !

### 5/5 — Long time user - appreciate the support

*2025-09-21*

Have been using this religiously for years.  I understand the need for a subscription model due to the costs of creating this content which reflects significant effort.  I’m a member of ASRA though so I get this app for free.

### 5/5 — Best Bedside Resource for Blocks

*2025-09-21, version 5.1*

Easy to use and regularly updated. A solid tool I’ve used for years.

### 5/5 — A must have for any practising regional anaesthesia practitioner

*2018-08-03, version 2.1*

This is a very welcome app update with up to date information on siting RA in patients on drugs that affect coagulation.

The advice is sensible and useful. What are you waiting for? Download it now!

### 5/5 — Invaluable resource

*2018-08-02, version 2.1*

I would recommend this app for both content and usability. Any practitioner performing any block should have ready access to the well-edited app.

### 5/5 — Superb app

*2016-08-17*

Well worth the price. Concise, authoritative, and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Easiest app to use.

*2016-04-22*

This app does exactly what it's built to do. Great resource. In my top ten medical apps
