### 5/5 — A great resource

*2013-10-08, version 1.5*

A great resource

### 5/5 — Extremely Helpful App

*2013-09-06, version 1.5*

I use this app frequently to pin point the codes I need. It is a great help.

Otherwise I waste tons of time guessing which word to use to pull up the appropriate code. I am usually guessing incorrectly..frustrating. Using this app makes it so much easier to find the codes I am looking for.

I recommend it highly. It is easy to use and much faster than guessing.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for!

User-friendly, quick and accurate, as far as I can tell. Plus, you can't beat the price! ;-)

Very helpful

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2013-04-20, version 1.5*

Incorrect coding process. Takes you to tabular not alphabetic index.  Not worth it!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — FNP

*2013-04-14*

This is the best app I have tried. Can quickly find codes, most times. Would recommend to other busy clinicians.

### 3/5 — Comment

*2013-04-10, version 1.5*

I wish favorites were easier to find.

### 4/5 — Fantastic Tool

*2013-04-08, version 1.5*

This is a handy reference in home care.  Many coworkers are downloading this app because they love it too.  I would love to see a similar app for procedure codes.  Keep it up!!
