Outdated

This app is now outdated. This was written to the 2004 guidelines and bili standards were updated in 2022. There are other tools that are based off of 2022 guidelines. Don’t buy this one!

Not up to date guidelines

It’s a great app and easy to use but needs to be updated to the 2022 guidelines.

Used to be a 5star app

The app still uses the old 2004 AAP guidelines and has not been updated to the 2022 guidelines. It appears to be effectively abandoned by the owner.

There are other alternatives on the App Store.

Is the app still functional? Yes… but it is no longer pertinent

Out of date

This was a great tool, but unfortunately now completely out of date. Would be great if updated but appears the creator hasn’t changed it in 9 years

Excellent app, update due

This excellent resource needs to be updated to reflect the recent guidelines for managing hyperbilirubinemia in infants 35 weeks gestation and older

Thank you for the kind words. The app has now been updated to reflect the 2022 AAP hyperbilirubinemia guideline for infants 35 weeks gestation and older, with additional tools for bilirubin trending, rate-of-rise calculations, and sharing results. I appreciate your support and your patience while this update was completed.

Wish the app would update based on most recent bili guidelines

Or at least send a notice out that they’re working on it

Inaccurate

Intermittently inaccurate plotting of bili values on graphs. Dangerous if you don’t realize it b/c app plots bili at lower than value entered.

No longer accurately plotting risk

Using iOS 11. Do not use this app, it is no longer accurate.

Discrepancy

I just used the calc and got a LR. Cross referenced it with BiliTool and they showed HIR. That can't be good.

l'idée est bonne mais erreur sur le graphique. Je retourne à la version papier...

Merci pour votre retour. L’application a depuis été entièrement reconstruite et mise à jour selon les recommandations 2022 de l’American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Ces nouvelles recommandations n’utilisent plus les anciennes « zones de risque » du nomogramme. Elles évaluent désormais la bilirubine par rapport aux seuils de photothérapie adaptés à l’âge en heures, à l’âge gestationnel et aux facteurs de risque de neurotoxicité. Le système graphique a également été entièrement revu. Je vous invite à mettre à jour vers la dernière version.

DO NOT USE! Graphs wrong when on phone call.

If you use this app while you are talking on the phone on iPhone 5, it places the crosshair on the wrong spot on the graph making to bili look lower risk than it really is. Even after you hang up and enter other Billy Rubin levels, the error in placement process unless you close out the app from your memory. Most of the time that I need to look up nomogram, it is on the phone when I am on call, when a nurse or parent calls me with a bili. Therefore this app is useless to me, and can lead to bad decisions. The developer of this app has been unable to fix this in the last six months.

Thank you for documenting this so clearly. That concern related to the legacy graphing interface and the older bilirubin nomogram used at the time. The app has since been completely rebuilt and now follows the 2022 American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines, which no longer use those historical risk zones. The graphing system has also been redesigned for the current version. Please update to the latest release.
