### 3/5 — Time critical navigation nightmare

*2025-01-06, version 2.7*

The app itself is excellent when you have the opportunity to look up what you require slow time, however in a pressurised environment the app is not very user friendly. Please can we have a simple layout in the meds section as it used to be rather than how it’s evolved. Keep up the good work, but make it easy in the environment we work in

### 2/5 — Excellent App if in NHS - Isolates Privates

*2023-02-08, version 2.1*

This is an excellent app if your working for one of the Trusts. 

BUT I really feel that only allowing NHS Trust to access this data is both isolating of the raft of private clinical providers that now make up a huge portion of those working pre-hospital. 

Both Trust and Private providers should be working off the same protocols for the benefit of the patients we care for. 

By not allowing privates access to this information on the Plus app you limit ability to work seamlessly for the good of the patient. 

Is there a reason private providers staff can’t access this info ?

### 3/5 — Very glitchy

*2023-02-07, version 2.1*

The app continues to be unreliable, often failing to open during critical times, despite clearing the iPhones cache. Please can this be resolved asap.

### 3/5 — Difficult to navigate.

*2022-03-08, version 1.2.17*

Really good app for information if you have the time to sit and search for it. When needing to check dosages or facts while on a job it is a total pain to get information from. 
Needs a much clearer way of navigating.

### 2/5 — App freezing

*2022-01-26, version 1.2.17*

The app in general is good when it works but on a few occasions I’ve the past few weeks it has failed to load and the screen has went black. This is despite numerous re-downloads.  Not what you need when trying to cross check medication dosages.

### 4/5 — Great app but needs a little optimisations

*2021-10-13, version 1.2.16*

This is a great app, especially when paired with an ambulance trust account. Having all trust clinical notices in one place is great, though it would be amazing if we could STAR or Favourite particular notices for quick reference in the future? Could this be implemented? 

App also needs a little optimisation in on the iPhone 13 with gaps at the top and bottom but that’s me being a little OCD. Overall a very useful app.

### 3/5 — Difficult to navigate

*2021-02-11, version 1.2.13*

This app has all the information that’s covered in the JRCALC pocket guide and more. It’s just a pain to navigate through to find what you need. The pocket book is easer to use sadly and so I don’t end up using this very much.

### 3/5 — It’s okay!

*2020-04-04, version 1.2.6*

Seem to be okay but frustrating the you have it installed on two devices as it dose t seemed linked so have to re do all my book marks and acknowledge clinical notices. Same has good potential this app

### 2/5 — Poor

*2019-11-27, version 1.2.4*

Every time you need it, the app does not load. You then have to delete and then upload the whole app again for it to work again.

Will be buying the pocket book instead!

### 5/5 — Pretty Pleased

*2019-11-17, version 1.2.4*

Was unsure at first on how to navigate and use the app (EMAS) version. Once I got to grips with it, it is very useful on the road. 

I would say the only thing that could do with a rejig is when you look at charts etc they don’t fit on the iPhone X (or at least mines) screen so you miss some writing, which in a time critical situ is not something that helps. But overall, app wise, it is an excellent resource.
