### 5/5 — Fantastic!!

*2022-05-22*

This is AMAZING!! I wish I found this when I first started my courses! If you’re taking courses for Respiratory Therapy this is 1000% worth the money, I wish I found it sooner! My only issue is trying o connect my account from my iPad (where I paid for the subscription) to my laptop (MacBook) with the same app. But either way, a tiny inconvenience for a major study/learning resource! —- update: if you purchase on one device and want it on your other (I have 2 apple devices and an android, because I bout it on the apple store and not the google store they do not cross and this won’t work) log into your account, go to settings click “catalog/purchases” UNDER the big red “purchase options” button it says “already purchased? Restore purchase” click that and it takes 2 seconds and it’s fixed!!

### 1/5 — It’s Not Free!

*2021-01-18*

They lead you to believe this app is free. You can access the app for free but not the information within the app. Very misleading. This app is $23.

**Developer response:** We are sorry if you were confused into thinking the app was free.  We allow our customers download and look at about 10% of the content to make sure the app meets their needs. In the TOC the free sections are listed.
