간단하게 읽을 분량이여서 좋아요

### 4/5 — Love it

*2012-09-04, version 1.4*

Would be 5 stars if there was separate pediatrics filter (I'm biased for sure).

### 4/5 — Great but needs an update!

*2012-06-03, version 1.4*

Needs to be updated with more current literature, otherwise a great app.

### 3/5 — App is very educational

*2011-12-05*

Very good at linking the art and science of nursing and focuses on quality intensive care information

### 3/5 — Good but...

*2011-11-25, version 1.4*

Not a bad app but it would be nice to have more current advice.

### 4/5 — Better

*2011-11-07, version 1.4*

Needs daily pearls

### 4/5 — great app

*2011-11-01*

excellent info, easy to use.  
occasionally the formatting cuts off the end of a segment.
it would be great if more pediatric ICU info was included.

### 4/5 — Decent

*2011-09-21*

Helpful tips here and there, but wish the information was more current

### 3/5 — Interesting but needs more recent data

*2011-09-20*

Interesting info, easy to read however could use some more recent references.  Most are at least 5 years old.

### 4/5 — ICU Pearls

*2011-08-26, version 1.4*

Excellent ap. Lots of handy information and good tips.

### 2/5 — Could be much better!

*2011-07-24*

Really needs an update! Much of the content is a few years old.

### 4/5 — Awesome app

*2011-07-19, version 1.4*

Best there is. Practical tips. Keep you ahead of the crowd.

### 4/5 — RN ICU

*2011-07-12, version 1.4*

Good info, wish the material presented had more backing evidence.

### 4/5 — Great for both new and continued learning

*2011-07-04*

Really good app, worth the money. One complaint is many of the articles and associated links are older so the links provided don't offer anything additional.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2011-07-29, version 1.4*

Waste of $

### 1/5 — icu pearls

*2011-04-24, version 1.4*

This was a waste of money- articles randomly appearing in no specific sequence.  Was hoping for fact tips instead got scientific articles - no the right kind of information for an app

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2010-09-17, version 0*

This is very outdated information. Also there is no way to sort by date. Please update and fix.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2010-03-12, version 0*

Haven't been updated in about 2 years. References not visible in mobile app. Have to link to mobile site in safarinand then look for date of posting.

### 1/5 — Does not sync with ipod touch.

*2010-02-07, version 0*

Says its for both ipod touch and iphone. I downloaded it for my ipod touch and it would not sync because its not and iphone!  I want my $1.99 back. Cant use this app at  all.

### 1/5 — ICU Pearls

*2010-01-27, version 0*

Weak. Too random. Poorly written with grammatical mistakes and errors in units of measure. Not written by an authority in ICU medicine. A similarly named book in a series of "pearls" should have been the basis for this app. I am surprised the title was allowed for this app. May be good for the PAs and ICU RNs. Not for intensivists.

### 1/5 — Not worth money.

*2009-09-13, version 0*

Very random and mostly useless pearls with no organisation. Would not recommend to buy. Hope that this will prompt somebody to fix this issues since the idea is great for most intensive care profs.

### 1/5 — Lame save your $$

*2009-09-02, version 0*

I am a resident on ICU right now so I thought I would try. But save your .99. Thought that spy glass was a search option but no just mag the text. Just random icu tips not organized in any way. Pretty weak

### 2/5 — Great idea. Poor implementation

*2015-03-27*

Great idea to have a daily tip/pearl for educating medical professionals. Unfortunately, I have not seen a new tip/pearl since buying this app. The app has promise, and would be very useful if they provided up to date information based upon the most recent changes in evidence based practice. Worthless to reread tips from 2006. There have been a lot of changes over 8 years. For the cost I would not expect a brand new post every day, but I would expect a daily tip that includes new posts as well as occasional repeats of previous tips that support practices affecting medical care today. I would not buy this app again, as it is not useful after reading through the tips the first time.

### 2/5 — Out dated

*2011-07-27, version 1.4*

Very out dated material
