### 1/5 — Cannot use after update

*2022-09-26*

Don’t update if you don’t have to cannot use without allowing location

**Developer response:** I’m sorry that you have concerns with the location features of the app. You are not required to use those features. If you deny access to location services, the menu item for the location tool will not appear in the Tools section. All other features of the app will function as designed. If you are concerned about your security, we don’t collect any data on you. Your location is only used to give you the coordinates that you need to identify your position. This app is one-way in that no data is sent back to our servers from your device. Feel free to contact us through the feedback link in the Tools section or by email at support@cookiejardevelopment.com if you are having any problems.

### 1/5 — Download

*2013-06-24*

I just attempted to purchase the NC 2012 protocol and it will not download. 
I clicked buy, entered my password, it gave me a download button, but when I tap it it just sits there and tells me to wait. Please help or please refund. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2012-09-01*

Don't download.

### 1/5 — This was a good app , latest up date made me erase it

*2012-07-14*

Please remove annoying added sign

### 2/5 — Some PDFs don’t work

*2022-09-15*

Is there is fix to having some PDFs not open? I’ve downloaded Adobe Reader but that doesn’t work. I click on the link to a reference and the document glances on the screen then the app crashes.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review.  We discovered that the latest version of iOS 15 and iOS 16 interferes with our PDF viewer.  An update is coming which fixes this problem and adds a bunch of new features.  You should see it soon.  Thanks for using our app.

### 3/5 — Alright

*2012-06-03*

I'm glad that this exists! I've been trying to find a decent Paramedic app for the iPad. This seems somewhat clear, concise, and easy to use. There are multiple spelling and grammar errors that are hard to ignore. There are also some inconsistencies with the cardiac rhythms, and inaccurate information. I see that this is in the beginning phases, so I understand that there are things to fix.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2013-06-12*

Wow...beautiful app!! Love it!
Thanks a lot!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-04-09*

Love this app. Great to have the protocols at the tip of my fingers in the field!!

### 5/5 — Best protocol app out there

*2012-07-05*

I'm so excited about this app. I downloaded it. Contacted mike with the info and in a few weeks my state protocols will be on here. So awesome to not have to fumble around for a book if I have a question. Especially since protocols are changing so often anymore
