### 4/5 — I like the app, but needs updated.

*2022-03-09*

The app is straightforward and easy to use and navigate.  Only problem is that it hasn’t been updated in a while.  Last update was in 2019.  The NIHSS needs to be updated to include the addition of the right and left distal motor function.  The results can be up to 4 points different depending on if you are using the old scale or the new scale.  I stopped recommending this app until the scale gets updated.

### 4/5 — Disappointed with upgrade to PDFs

*2021-04-21, version 3.80*

Just upgraded to iPhone 12 & again having problems emailing out the results of UPDRS results. Error message saying I have not entered patient details.  But crash happens before chance to add patient details.

Old review- Handy App for the wards with ability to email.  The app used to email text now it emails pdf files.  Unfortunately these are unreadable or incomplete at least in the UPDRS section I use most frequently.  Please go back to the old version or fix this problem. Rob

Useful App but since recent upgrade August 2019 it has been crashing when I try to email results out.  I have been forced to take screen shot to photos to save report scores.  
UPDRS should be kept in this app even when the MDS-UPDRS is added as the latter is owned by the MDS and each time use a fee potentially applies. Rob

### 5/5 — Excellent for Neurologists!

*2020-10-10*

Perfect to have all the important scales and scores right at your fingertips

### 5/5 — Use for acute stroke work up and it’s NIHSS

*2020-07-29*

Great tool in the pocket to have to perform the NIHSS score on stroke patients.  I have been using it for years.  Hope they continue to support it and update it. Other resources seem helpful too yet I use the NIHSS the most.

### 5/5 — The best app for acute neuro management

*2018-10-02*

Strong foundation for acute scores and management recommendation. Good app for clinic use too. 
Definitely recommended to be used by every Neurologist/ ED specialist dealing with acute neurological conditions.

### 1/5 — Tuning Fork

*2018-09-15*

Why isn’t the tuning fork working?

### 5/5 — Wonderful app!

*2017-02-12*

Very useful and practical, covering most bedside situations that require clinical scorings. Hope continuing updates. Thanx!

### 4/5 — Aphasia images gone

*2017-01-04*

I'm an Emergency physician and have used this program for over a year. I especially like the NIHSS, makes quick testing so easy. The latest update however no longer has aphasia images. When I go to screen it's blank. I'm on IOS 10.2. I've erased and reinstalled. Please fix this bug!  Thanks.

### 5/5 — Switch to PDF makes it less efficient

*2015-10-01*

An amazing app for neurologists. The use of rating scales makes ones practice more quantitative. However, the recent switch to PDF makes the app much less useful. The previous format of emailing a text file allowed copy/paste to EMR is a concise format. Copying from a PDF file puts in unwanted spaces between lines and is much less efficient overall. Please switch back to emailing text format files or having an option for both in settings. The password protection is hardly necessary as no one in their right minds would email documents with patient identifiers anyway.

Overall keep up the good work. Still rating it 5 starts despite my peeve with the PDF format.

### 5/5 — Comprehensive app for neuro resident

*2015-03-07*

I use it every time on call. Great for both neurology and neurosurgery residents
