### 5/5 — PERFECT FOR EMS

*2021-11-21, version 2.0*

Light weight ad free drip calc!!

### 5/5 — Essential app for EMS

*2019-04-25, version 2.0*

This is a must have app. So simplistic to use and it saves me so much time in critical situations. I highly recommend it. I’m currently using this on an iPhone X with iOS 12.2 and it works beautifully.

### 5/5 — Please update for Apple Watch

*2018-11-08, version 2.0*

Love this app. Just need it to be on my watch I stop just my phone. Then it would be perfect!

### 5/5 — Perfect

### 4/5 — RN

*2013-01-19, version 1.3*

Very easy to use!   Thanks

### 4/5 — Why downvote?

*2012-03-20, version 1.3*

Not sure why you're down voting for not having a mL/hr conversion...because that's exactly what it is. If you want to convert 68mL/hr to gtt then type in 68mL and then 1hr 00min...not that hard lol. This app performs fine for what it needs to do.

### 1/5 — RN, NREMT-P, PCCN

*2011-10-24, version 1.3*

Bought this because I am not especially good at math and occasionally have to hang things to gravity. It only allowed input of total time of infusion and VTi not a ml/hr rate for maintenance fluids. Multiple features did not work at all.

### 4/5 — Good

*2011-07-01, version 1.3*

Would be nice if the drip counter not only displayed drips but converted to ml/HR too!

### 1/5 — Medic

*2011-05-17, version 1.3*

The app has very limited use.  Some features do not work.  Not worth $0.99.
