### 5/5 — Phenomenal resource!

*2023-11-22, version 2.81*

I've used this app for years & I'm a pediatric nurse! It's a great reference for weeding through when to seek medical care & when to continue watching at home.  The care advice is top notch & I love having this as a back up.

### 5/5 — Best app hands down.

*2020-01-20, version 2.40*

This is the best app for parents and caregivers. I recommend this to every parent I run across. Thank you St Louis children’s hospital.

### 5/5 — The BEST for Health Advice!

*2019-08-16, version 2.40*

I absolutely love this app. The care advice is easy to read and follow. Use this to check your child’s symptoms!! Not Google!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-01-23, version 2.37*

This is very helpful, especially for parents who are trying to figure out whether they have an emergency on their hands or a health concern that can wait until morning. I love the color-coded guide for what to do for various conditions (ie... call 911 if... call your regular doctor if...).

### 5/5 — Excellent and current resource

*2017-08-04, version 2.36*

Every panicked parent need this for tips/tricks to what ifs. Up to date info. I shamelessly hand out this app and suggest it to all my patients and work in another part of the country

### 5/5 — Best app for a parent!

*2016-10-31, version 2.35*

Thank you so much for this app. It is my go to when my kids are sick!

### 5/5 — Anesthesia provider/father of busy 2 year old

*2014-02-24, version 2.25*

Sweet app! Useful medication table for Peds dosing.

### 5/5 — Great app..very nice format

*2014-01-31, version 2.25*

Happy with details given. Very useful with most common urgency situation.

### 4/5 — Awesome!!!!!

*2012-03-25, version 2.2*

It's great advice for when you're on the go and can't access a pediatrician! The only thing I'd change is that you have to be really specific on the key word search. The parent advise is awesome.

### 5/5 — Every Parent Needs this App

*2012-01-16, version 2.1*

Every parent or caretaker needs this app!  I discovered it after Dr Google failed to give me viable home care advice for my 10 month old. This app broke down the home treatment options by age so I knew what was safe and helpful for her age. So easy to use and, since it came from a Children's hospital, I felt comfortable with the advise given.
