### 1/5 — Bad Advice

*2016-06-28*

At first I was so happy to find this website and app, but then I started to get a bad feeling when they gave me (and many other people) advice that contradicts their own doctor.  I did enjoy reading other people's experiences from hip and knee replacement, but it's hard not to worry about the medical advice they give.

### 5/5 — Great resource

*2016-06-12*

Great source for all things THR

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2016-04-26*

This app is a great asset.  If you are a candidate for knee replacement surgery this sight is for you.

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2016-04-19*

Wonderful and supportive!

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2016-04-01*

It's ok for on your phone, for checking messages on the forum , but it's not nearly as good as the full web page.

### 5/5 — Wonderful,educational,supportive group

*2014-05-29*

It's all said in the title.  If your having one done or know someone who is, it's a great place to go.

### 5/5 — Nothing else like it

*2013-10-19*

There really is no other site like BoneSmart for hip and knee replacement. The app is only for the forum but it works great, and I like the push notifications.

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2013-09-03*

App is clean and straightforward way to access the BoneSmart Hip and Knee Forum on my phone. Like that you can choose to have "push" notifications of threads I'm watching.
