Not fully up to date

The Appendix sections are not up to date with current protocol 2024.1. Version on app states 2024.1 but Appendix A1-3 are not correct. Found multiple conflicts from app and state protocol in A2. A3 is missing all together.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. A3 (EMS Assessment tool) is found in the side menu for formatting reasons. As for other issues you may have found, please contact me at expeditiondocs@gmail.com so I can get them fixed.

Update please

Please update with new medications

Response from developer

The medications listed in the app are in fact up to date per MA AR 5-400 version 2023.1. If you have other helpful feedback feel free to email me at expeditiondocs@gmail.com.

Difficult to find resources

Where is racemic reference??? Others difficult to find

Response from developer

It's not difficult at all... 1. Pull down on main menu to reveal search bar. 2. Search for "racemic".

Aweful update!

Open the app during a carcinogenic shock patient and I am greeted with the requirement to pay for a App I have already bought. Horrible way to force a update, if you have to old version do not update. New app looks like it was made on a phone while riding the T. If I had another option I would not have downloaded the app.

New update wants rebuy

I had previously bought the app through the app store. Now with the new update that just happened it wants me to buy it again through them as in an app purchase.

Response from developer

All those who purchased the app previously were supposed to get full access automatically but for some reason it didn't work. That's why lifetime access is currently only 99 cents.

Great App To Have At Your Finger Tips

Spectacular app that I frequently recommend to people new to EMS. Being up to date on protocols can be a daunting task early on but this truly streamlines the process for anyone who downloads it. New update is a big improvement as well. However I would’ve liked to see the map and numbers list included and rehashed. I’m not sure what road blocks the developers ran into with including it but it almost feels like a punishment in exchange for the new update. I feel as though the last version of the app was operational enough to where developers could’ve spent more time on the update to include that feature as it’s practically my favorite part of the app to highlight. Nonetheless the app is great and I don’t mean any disrespect to the work already put in to making it happen. Anything to improve accessibility and ease to folks on protocol information is a plus.

Map and phone numbers are back!

Excellent update

Being a long time user of this app it has only gotten better over time. The owner updates the most recent OEMS Statewide treatment protocols usually within 2 weeks. This new app update is a complete refresh. Easier to see and use. I love the new broslow addition for peds. Thanks for a great update.

Needs updating

Guys the app is pretty good. I would give you a 5 if you update accordingly. We are on protocol 2021.2. You still have an older version up. Please, update!!!

Response from developer

App updated yet again, this time to 2023 protocols

Needs to be updated

Good app but needs to be updated.

Bring back color coding!

This was a 5 star app up until the latest update. The pediatric color coded guide was removed. That was the main reason I downloaded the app. I used the pediatric section every shift. For normal vitals, common doses, equipment sizes etc. It was like having a Broslow tape in your pocket. Please add this back

Response from developer

Newest update contains 2023 protocols and redesigned pediatric tape. Enjoy!

Excellent resource

Whether in the field, in transport, or writing your report. This is everything you need. Recommend as a reference for all EMTs and Medics in the state.

Great!

Easy to use when needed and updated when needed! My only recommendation would be to include RI trauma centers as well, it won’t matter to most but may matter to some.

Great app

I love this app. It’s straight forward, easy to use. It’s very easy to just pick a protocol and go over it to keep my memory fresh

Out of date protocols!

When are you going to update to the current state protocols?
This app is useless until it’s updated!!

Response from developer

App has been consistently updated, year after year, including the new 2023 protocols.

Simple and up to date

It's not fancy but it does the job it's made for. Visual enhancements and maybe some bells and whistles would make it better aesthetically, but that doesn't deter from it having up to date information and functionality.

Best EMS protocol app

Every EMT is supposed to know all the protocols. Who has time to memorize hundreds of pages though? This app lets you quickly find the appropriate information to be sure you are following the latest protocols. Resources like hotline phone numbers and locations of trauma and stroke centers provide those crucial bits of information quickly.
