### 3/5 — Preço alto para escalas disponíveis na internet

*2021-06-08*

Várias escalas são pagas, com preços

### 4/5 — Good layout, function

*2020-05-02*

Limited for paediatrics

### 3/5 — Good, not great

*2018-09-07*

Pros: broad scope, ability to choose metric versus English units, nice clinical background info and explanation of the equations. 

Cons: mainly little glitches that make it kind of frustrating. Examples: the data entry screen obscures some of the information and you can’t minimize it. The category at the bottom of the screen, “Misc,” can’t be accessed because you can’t scroll down far enough or minimize the toolbar. Search is sometimes clunky, “BMI” isn’t found when searching, but “Body Mass Index” is. And so on. 

Would still recommend the app, but it needs a little work.

### 4/5 — Good app but difficult to access bottom line

*2018-02-24*

I like this app but find it difficult to access the bottom line of the list due to tab. The tab at the bottom where it says recent, favourites etc makes it difficult to access things such as miscellaneous, especially on my phone with a small screen.

### 3/5 — GFR

*2017-02-16*

The calculator for GFR (Cockcroft-Gault) no longer works. Please fix.

### 4/5 — Add some stuff

*2016-09-27*

Like NSQIP!
Thanks!
Great app other than no NSQIP calculator.

### 4/5 — Útil

*2015-01-13*

Tratando-se de um app gratuito, é bem útil na pratica médica...

### 3/5 — Should be 5

*2014-08-01*

I love this app. As a renal pharmacist I recommend it to all junior doctors for eGFR and crcl calculations on the go. The only problem is the eGFR calculator has stopped working (won't let me insert BSA!)

### 4/5 — Just missing something

*2013-07-03*

I like it a lot but there's one thing that bothers me. When I get a score on a scale, it doesn't tell me what it means!  Ex.:  is a score of 16 on the Injury Severity Score good or bad??

### 4/5 — Satish

*2013-02-20*

Liked...

### 3/5 — Great idea

*2013-02-10*

The info is very useful but they don't all work. For instance The physics conversions don't change to the listed categories. Stuck on energy. Would pay for working app.

### 3/5 — Lost a star for bugs

*2012-11-19*

Brilliant FREE app but loses stars for bugs, most recently the Unit Concersion (Physics) is stuck on the default tab (i.e. you can't select a different caregory such as pressure, mass, etc...) Hope it gets fixed!

### 3/5 — More please

*2012-09-27*

This is a good app. I like the favourites option, and there are some really useful calculators.

I've found a few problems:
Snellen chart doesn't tell me how far away from the patient the phone needs to be, and doesn't give the visual acuity corresponding to each line (so is useless)
There's a bug in the Ideal Weight calculator: I couldn't get it to change from kilos to pounds, and couldn't change from male to female unless doing so before entering the weight.
The opioid converter gives some dubious values e.g it says that 10mg of  oral morphine is equivalent to 8.3mg of oral oxycodone (The chart we commonly use where I work - Scotland -says 5mg of oxycodone). Also there's no tramadol, diamorphine or fentanyl patch.

The following additions would be really useful for me: (Primary care doc)
Paediatric pain score
CHAD2VAS
HAS BLED
Strep Score for throat infection
Ottowa ankle rules

Keep up the good work guys!

### 1/5 — Has a bug

*2011-12-22*

I wanted to like it, liked the layout. However, after I did my corrected calcium calculation, I was unable to change the units of the result and therefore the result was useless to me. Looking for a different app now.

### 1/5 — RIPP OFF!

*2010-08-12*

Such a crazy thing this is, a complete rip of of Medcalc. I cannot believe i payed for this (when the developers were trying to sell someone elses software). Dont even care downloading this.. go get the real app - Medcalc.

### 2/5 — Needs updating

*2020-04-30*

Hard to read, not formatted for iPhone screens needs an update.

### 2/5 — It's charging me again.

*2017-09-21*

I've been using this app for a long time and I really like it, but since the last actualization, it's charging me again to unlock some functions... but I've already paid.
Please, fix it.
Thanks.

### 2/5 — Bogue

*2013-05-21, version 2.0*

Je dois réinstaller l'application à chaque utilisation car sinon elle est figée je ne peux rien faire j'aimais beaucoup cette application dans le passé mais maintenant c'est très désagréable de l'utiliser

### 2/5 — Some serious issues

*2012-02-10*

Nice collection of useful items but it doesn't work smoothly, some don't work at all. This is a work in progress.

Ok

*2017-06-21*

Just what I was looking for – especially the eGFR calculators and the CHADS2 score come in handy!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2014-09-22*

Has all the scores you would need to hand both in the ED and on the wards. Highly recommended, shame it's not yet optimised for iOS 8 or iPhone 6 however.

Super útil também para anestesistas
