Better mobile use than apex but needs improvement.
Leaving the below for context for an original 3 star review. The MA team responded to my concerns and updated their app within less than two weeks of posting. Can’t beat that for responsiveness.
Original review:
Finding MA to be much more user friendly and experience on mobile than APEX for continuing ed, and it has elements that vastly improve on what Vargo/CoExistinf offers. However, the app is in desperate need of a few improvements:
1) Most importantly, a way to change font size.
2) A per-lesson way to leave feedback or suggest corrections. For $450, it bums me out to see major typos and sentences that just drop off in the middle of a thought. You have a lot of content, and proofreading is hard, but there’s no simple way for users to help you correct mistakes, and this devalues your product.

Response from developer
Thank you, Jay. You were right on both counts, and we got to work the same week. Version 3.1.6, released nine days after your review, adds a text size and appearance control in every lesson, plus a "Suggest a correction" sheet on every lesson so you can flag a typo or a dropped sentence right where you see it, and we fix it from there. We also went back through the course text ourselves and corrected 29 lessons, including the cut-off sentences you mentioned, with audio re-recorded where it changed. Update to 3.1.6 and give it another look. If it now earns it, we would be grateful for a 5-star update to this review. Either way, thank you for pushing us to be better. Matthew, Master Anesthesia

Amazing resource. Constantly updated with current evidence. And gives little snippets of evidence based practice updates in email.

By far the best companion app for anyone in the anaesthesia field.

Improving all the time
I’ve been using MA for at least 5 or so years. It’s a great app and each update is an amazing improvement. I recommend this app to colleagues all the time. It’s easy to navigate and easy to read especially in the OR. Keep up the great work!
CMCrash much?
