### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-04-30*

I loved this app, super simple. However it updated and I can’t figure it out at all.

### 2/5 — Please go back

*2023-06-22*

I’ve had this app for years and the old version was amazing!! As a paramedic I don’t always have enough time to go through what the new version is asking for.  I’ve now had to search for another dosing app that does what this one use to do.  Please go back!!!

**Developer response:** We are working on a new version to allow the user to use the current interface or use it in a similar way to the previous version. Hopefully this will be available in the next week or so

### 2/5 — Older version

*2023-05-19*

Please go back to the older version so I can input drugs myself

### 1/5 — Old version was much better

*2023-04-17*

Please fix the add a medication bug or revert back to the old version!

**Developer response:** Apologies for the inconvenience, it is now fixed, updating to version 2.1 should resolve the problem

### 2/5 — Old version better

*2023-04-15*

Old version was better. It was quicker to use as you put in the concentration and volume. Now it only gives pre done volumes and concentrations that may not be what you need

**Developer response:** Hi, you should be able to create any dose/ concentration you need with much more flexibility than the previous version. 

Unfortunately in version 2.0 a bug is causing the app to crash when you try to add a new dose. This has been fixed and should be available to download shortly.
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

### 1/5 — Waste of time and $$

### 1/5 — Makes no sense

### 1/5 — Horrible don’t waste a dolllar

*2019-09-12*
