Force closing app doesn’t fix, rebooting phone doesn't fix. Have to uninstall and reinstall, works for a few hours or a day and starts crashing again, hence another install.

Depend on this for work. ### 5/5 — Wonderful resource *2019-03-11, version 2.13* Easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing, this is a fantastic resource for anyone involved in Pediatric medicine or women’s health! ### 5/5 — Very useful! *2018-11-25* I’m a PGY2 family medicine resident and this app makes hospital rotations so much easier.

Highly recommended. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
