However the Therapy impact suggests various scenarios that are imprudent. Start HBP meds when the patient doesn’t have HBP. Or intensify Statins for patients whose risk is less than 7.5% ### 2/5 — I miss old version *2017-09-08, version 2.0* I miss the old version which included more details on statins with high/moderate vs low intensity statins. A little harder to use now. ### 2/5 — A new defect *2017-08-27, version 2.0* Thenk you for adding a reset button. But now, when we enter a value (which must be done 5 times) it defaults now to the letter type screen, not the numerical. This requires another keystroke for every number that needs to be entered. This may not sound like much, but since we use it for every patient who gets a lipid panel. this is adding up to a pain. It reminds me too much of my old EHR. Can I somehow revert to the previous version? Thankfully another group has one called the "ASCVD suite" which avoids this wrong screen problem. ### 3/5 — Please update! *2017-08-01, version 1.1* I use this app all the time but it's listed in my phone as one that won't work with the ios11 update 😟 please update to a 64-bit version!! ### 2/5 — Buggy *2016-12-07, version 1.1* Nice app that condenses a lot of information into simple format. Unfortunately, like my peers, it NEEDS A RESET BUTTON. It constantly freezes up and requires me to delete the app and reinstall. 5 stars if it would function appropriately. ### 3/5 — No reset, has bugs *2016-08-29, version 1.1* Does not allow recalculation or to change input data. It's sad to see that no one has bothered to fix this issue. ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2016-07-12, version 1.1* Would be great to have refresh button, so that after using it one 1 patient, one can clear input fields, and re-use app with another patient. Currently, this is not an option and makes use if the app cumbersome and time consuming. Please look into this. Thanks ### 2/5 — Bug causes app to freeze *2015-12-30, version 1.1* Good calculator but current version freezes after a single calculation. If you want to enter data for a new patient, you have to close the app, then restart each time. Pretty annoying ### 2/5 — Freezes *2015-10-09, version 1.1* It's a good tool but only when it wants to work. I wish it t had a clear button to enter in a new patient. It freezes up on me to the point where I need to power off my phone and then reopen the app completely. For this reason I will be trying a different app. ### 4/5 — Still needs a reset button *2015-09-10, version 1.1* Application still needs a reset and return button ### 2/5 — Need SI units conversion option in the app *2015-07-15, version 1.1* This needs to have the option of entering SI units for all the countries of the world apart from USA/Canada ### 3/5 — Crash *2014-07-31, version 1.1* I like this app and use it after for my patients, but several times it has caused my iPad to crash. Please find and fix this bug. ### 3/5 — SI units *2014-07-26, version 1.1* Not everyone in the USA uses mg/dL Please update your app to allow the user to use SI units ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not downloading. *2026-04-05, version 7.2* Will not download. ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-05-20, version 4.1* Not calculating, waste time ### 1/5 — Entered age 50, got error *2019-04-25, version 4.0* It said the age had to be between 40 and 71 ### 1/5 — Totally inaccurate *2017-09-12, version 2.0* This new version has some serious flaws. In addition to being harder to navigate than previous versions, it gives seriously incorrect values for ASCVD risk - last two patients I profiled both came back at 1.1% 10 year risk which is just not possible in the population I am seeing. Last person had a total cholesterol of 334! And still came back as 1.1% risk. Please scrap this version and go back to the old one. ### 1/5 — Useful but they really need to update it *2017-03-12, version 1.1* Frequently crashes and I always get a warning "this application may slow down your phone" every time I open the app. It hasn't been updated since 2014. 3 years? I'd pay for the app if they would just make it comparable with the new iOS. ### 1/5 — Parochial Calculator *2016-04-14, version 1.1* Needs SI unit conversion ### 1/5 — Needs SI units before I'll use it *2016-04-04, version 1.1* Please give the option to use SI units. You limit your usability by only using American units (mg/dL). ### 1/5 — Hopeless without being able to enter Metric and SI Units *2015-01-14, version 1.1* Could be so useful around world were it not for what should be an easily rectified shortcoming ### 1/5 — Units *2014-03-30, version 1.1* Echo the previous comment. This marginally useful for the rest of the world as we SI units and this app does not accept them ### 1/5 — Valeurs seulement en mg/dL *2014-03-13, version 1.1* Svp offrez la possibilité d'inscrire les valeurs de cholestérol en mmol/L (actuellement inutilisable pour plusieurs médecins vu cette limitation). ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wonderful app for new Guidelines *2014-02-12, version 1.0* Optimal app to help to provide assessment and treatment recommendations for new Prevention guidelines. Helpful to decide who should be treated with statin therapy. Great addition! ### 5/5 — Up on the roof *2014-02-11, version 1.0* Relax with this fabulous app. It has it all! Detailed, yet concise and all the info for pts and docs under one roof. ### 5/5 — Easy to use with loads of great content *2014-02-11, version 1.0* Great look and easy to use! The supporting content is fantastic for patients and clinicians. I will definitely recommend to others! ### 5/5 — Great app; easy to use! *2014-02-11, version 1.0* This app has great look and feel. Simple to use and terrific content for both clinicians and patients. ### 4/5 — Doesn't mention bariatric surgery. *2021-07-22, version 4.1* Should include bariatric surgery recommendations for patients that qualify. There are quite a few studies looking at CV risk reduction after surgery. The data should be included in this app. This app appears to ignore a major factor that plays a role (obesity) in about 35% (conservatively) of patients. ### 4/5 — Useful app *2017-09-01, version 2.0* The estimation of therapy impact is useful and can be shown to patients so they understand rationale of treatment. The biggest fault is that fields requiring numerical data defaults to letter keyboard. It should automatically bring up the numerical keyboard to ease the burden of data entry. ### 4/5 — Needs to be Updated *2017-05-29, version 1.1* I like this tool as its results and recommendations are consistem with the joint 2013 recommendations of the American Colege of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, but it needs to be updated to 64 bit version. I believe that it will not run on the next version of the iOS. ### 4/5 — Update required! *2017-04-25, version 1.1* Thank you for the app. It's really useful but Please update the app soon. This is so out of date. ### 4/5 — Needs a reset/clear button! *2016-02-01, version 1.1* Great tool for point of care decisions.... But- desperately needs a reset/clear button to be able to calculate a new patient without having to close and re-open the app! ### 4/5 — Crashing *2015-10-09, version 1.1* Generally has been great but last few weeks has been freezing annoyingly --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
