Please fix, otherwise great app ### 3/5 — Crashes with IPhoneX *2017-12-15, version 2.7.0* Crashes all the time with IphonrX ### 2/5 — Need some bigs fixing *2017-10-06* Crashes if you change the times for anaesthesia billing It’s a shame it could be top app ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing. *2017-03-30, version 2.5.22* Good because it is free but recently has started to crash. Not sure if this is due to an update. Please sort it out! ### 4/5 — Latest update broken *2016-11-02, version 2.5.18* Hi there. The excision section is broken. No longer gives item numbers. ### 2/5 — Lost all my favorites!! Not worth using it. *2016-10-16, version 2.5.12* The item number list is not updated. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — crashes *2026-03-03, version 2.33.0* nothings goes since latest update…. ### 1/5 — Medicare is set at out patient rate *2022-09-13* You have medicare rebate as 85% and it’s 75% for in-patient services so you can’t accurately bill or estimate fees ### 1/5 — Unusable due to frequent crashing *2022-03-14* Crashing. No ability to change insurance details. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2020-11-11* Keeps crashing I’ve been unable to view my favourites randomly regretfully ### 1/5 — Originally brilliant but now unstable. (Original title - Small bugs but otherwise brilliant!) *2019-09-29* Original review below- since iOS 13, completely unstable and in-useable. Crashes after less than 10 seconds every time. Great free app for CMBS codes. The search feature is great - Recognises commonly used (Ortho) abbreviations to find codes AND will suggest some other related numbers if applicable. Can customise search fields and eliminate those specialties that aren't relevant to your specialty which simplifies searches. Can also input fees for different health funds for each item as well as the app telling you what the schedule fee and AMA recommended fees are. The only major bug is that it will crash from time to time for no apprent reason (on a iPhone 3G). Other than that, a must-have free app for any medico on the move, especially surgical types! ### 1/5 — Favourites keep disappearing *2018-04-03* Easy app to navigate. Unfortunately I have lost my favourites after the last 2 updates. I contacted the developer but only received an automated response. So not even sure they are aware of it, let alone fixing it. ### 1/5 — Crashing with iOS update *2017-03-30, version 2.5.22* Please fix asap. New iOS update causes it to crash all the time. ### 1/5 — Insurance fees still don't work *2016-07-13, version 2.5.16* Insurance fees still don't work ### 1/5 — Needs and iOS update *2013-08-29, version 2.4.2* Not able to use with iPhone 5 ### 1/5 — Good app until the last update version came up *2013-05-29, version 2.4.2* This app is no longer working properly. I had to delete the iCloud backup information from my iPhone 4 (and lose my favorite billing items) to be able to open the app again. The items won't change to the private fund amounts when trying to do a multi item calculation. Please fix this or I'll get a different app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2026-01-25* Very easy to use.

Great app!!! *2017-02-14, version 2.5.20* Love the convenience ### 5/5 — Great app for Australian doctors *2017-02-02, version 2.5.20* I especially like the excision algorithm to determine appropriate fee once histology result is available.
