### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-05-09*

Great app previously - now it doesn’t work at all and crashes whenever opened

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Please update the CoreP app to the latest version and contact support if the issue persists

### 2/5 — Contains lots of great material but search feature is lacking

*2025-10-16*

The search feature in Corpening is something that has not worked well for me. Typing in a simple term takes you to to vast chapters where the topic you're looking for is mentioned in some very tiny subsection. It can be very hard to get the information you need quickly.

### 2/5 — In a pinch

*2024-12-13*

I will use Eolas/wikiEM or Pediastat when time is of the essence. Core Pendium doesn’t index well. Major EmRap user and booster so critique offered with appreciation and respect.

### 3/5 — App needs work

*2022-10-05*

Content is 5 stars
App function is 2. Need a way to track progress through content, especially with the resident study guides. Would prefer check boxes or bookmarking ability, but even if the links changed colors.
Videos need playback speed option, and 15 sec rewind.

### 4/5 — Great content ok app

*2023-06-19*

Please develop an iPad version.

### 4/5 — Great content

*2022-06-19*

Great content with some suggestions:
- iPad version for reading
- allow audio player to continue when iPhone screen goes dark
- allow us to favorite videos or articles so they’re easily accessible. I am working on the year 1 curriculum and it would be nice to find it easier when I open the app. And if I could track my progress and flag certain topics I want to revisit. 
Thank you!

### 4/5 — iPad mini version

*2022-05-15*

### 5/5 — Awesome resource

*2025-05-04*

Excellent and very usable app! Love it!

### 5/5 — Great Tool

*2024-10-22*

This is a terrific resource with just what I need to make decisions at the point of care.

### 5/5 — Core resource

*2024-10-10*

An invaluable resource for EM residents on the move!

### 5/5 — Fantastic but could use iPad version

*2023-07-17*

Amazing point of care and in-depth, up to date textbook. Only thing to improve would be to have a better screen formatted iPad version

### 5/5 — Yowza

*2022-04-24*

Such a great resource to have.
