### 2/5 — Needs updates!

*2024-09-25*

It’s unfortunate that this app does not even keep itself UTD with its own updated guidelines. Makes for limited utility.

### 3/5 — Framingham risk calculator

*2023-11-04*

Can you put back the Framingham risk calculator? Would be very useful, as your lipid guidelines refer us to your app for the calculation of FRS. Was it the 2008 version that you used?

### 3/5 — Outdated

*2023-02-02*

This app hasoutdated 2017 guidelines. It needs to be updated to reflect the new 2021 guidelines such as quad therapy for HFrEF pts with the addition of an SGL2i.

### 3/5 — Please update for new guidelines!

*2022-11-16*

Really good app. Simple, useful and an easy to use reference.   But… please update to reflect current guidelines. That is the only thing that stopped me from awarding 5 stars.

### 4/5 — update please!!

*2022-07-19*

i love this app but please update the guidelines! many of them have already been revised

### 1/5 — Buggy and incompetent

*2021-08-22*

As mentioned this app doesn’t even work and also fails to download guidelines that they cover only some few topics themselves. I highly recommend not to get this app and leave it be for good

### 3/5 — FRS stopped working

*2019-11-13*

Was very handy until the FRS calculator stopped working with iPhone update. Will this be fixed?

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-11-21*

Very useful for quick access to Canadian guidelines
