### 1/5 — Not working

*2019-06-28*

Time manager is not working. That’s what I purchased this app for.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Sorry to hear that you experience some problem with the app.

Can you contact me to tell me more about the bug when you try to use the time manager? Nobody reported me issues before.

You can send me a message right from the app and I’ll take a look.

Best regards

### 1/5 — NÃO FUNCIONA

*2019-02-19*

Não funciona como anunciado.

**Developer response:** Hi,

You sent me a mail yesterday, to which I answered within a few hours, to help you solve your issue.

You also asked me if it was possible to get refunded. I gave you the instructions for this also.

So I assume that either your problem has been solved, or you may have asked for a refund if the app doesn't answer to your expectations, for which I am sorry.

I think the app, however, works as described as nobody reported me any other problem since its first release.

You can still contact be by mail for further information if necessary.

Best regards

### 2/5 — Not so great

*2019-10-03*

Average app at best.  Font too small as well

**Developer response:** Hi,
Thank you for taking time to give your feedback 
However don’t hesitate to complete your comment or to contact me to explain me what you would have expected from the app that could have make your experience better than average.
Best regards

### 2/5 — Average NIHSS app

*2018-01-09*

I originally got this app for a neurology rotation while taking stroke call. I wanted an app that could be a bedside tool for a quick NIH stroke scale calculation. This app sort of does that, but to be honest, my PDF print out from the NIH website does a better job. In addition, even MD calc does a better job and it’s not even designed solely for the stroke scale. While I appreciate the aesthetics of this app it’s really an average app in terms of its utility.

For further versions to make it useful to all levels of neurological training: 
(1) should include the actual rationale and description for each category of the stroke scale (e.g. level of consciousness and what to look out for and how to assess)

(2) should include the illustrations and word lists for assessment of language and dysarthria

(3) the endovascular section is already out of date in light of the recent DAWN trial (thrombectomy outside 6-8 hour window for LVO)

(4) the tPA checklist could be a bit more user friendly (currently not bulleted and not visually accessible). Maybe make it an actual check list and provide major and minor criteria more clearly.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Many of your comments have been taken into consideration in the latest version of the app.

Best regards

### 3/5 — Good app but needs bugs fixed

*2023-06-16*

Good app but it crashes every time I try Shari the NIHSS.

**Developer response:** Hi,
Thank you for your feedback, I’ll look as soon as possible and correct this bug
Best regards

### 3/5 — NIHSS

*2022-10-28*

Nice app, good UI, but why isn’t NIHSS included in the Apple Watch app?

**Developer response:** Hi,
Thank you for your feedback 
I’m not sure that rating NIHSS on the Apple Watch would be so comfortable and easy but I’ll think about this possibility.
Best regards

### 4/5 — bien mieux

*2018-09-17*

la nouvelle version a corrigé le défaut  d’affichage du nih qui faisait sauter 2 items sur les petits écrans

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
Merci beaucoup pour la mise à jour de votre commentaire!
Cordialement

### 5/5 — Très satisfaite

*2017-11-12*

Application très utile. pratique pour calculer le score NIH et vérifier les critères de thrombolyse
