### 5/5 — Great app big big savings

*2019-07-02, version 2.2.3*

No complaints

### 1/5 — Access too limited!

*2019-04-12, version 2.2.3*

Too limited!!  The limited access for us anesthesiologists, who are not at the standard Anesthesiology program, is the only reason this app is getting rated low give us access to the Cognitive Aids and the videos, and all the other resources, and BELIEVE ME, the app rating will SKY ROCKET!  Until then, this rating stays put.

### 2/5 — Was a nice app

*2013-12-13, version 2.2.1*

Totally agree with Pedsanes, a very useful and easy to navigate apps that has helped me refresh my memory now and then. I had not used it in a while with my iPhone 4 then tried to use it over the summer of 13 and it would not work. I got a 5s and tried it, and as the other reviewer said, it crashes on start up. I see the menu screen then it simply disappears. I wonder if the app is still receiving support.

### 1/5 — Still crashes on launch

*2013-02-24, version 2.1.2*

Using iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.2.  App crashes upon entering SUNet info and returning to Ether app.

### 4/5 — Great idea

*2011-02-11, version 1.0.4*

Although this app has very limited use outside of Stanford it is a brilliant idea and elegantly executed. You need to commercialize this (including a tool kit for developers) for other academic programs so we can use it, too!
