### 5/5 — Excellent pocket reference

*2026-02-09*

Very useful information , accurate, practical, succinct. Easy to use and an excellent teaching tool.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! We’re glad it’s a helpful and practical tool for your practice and teaching.

### 2/5 — Buy in another format

*2024-04-26*

This app you’ve paid for will disappear as soon as the developers stop paying the annual fee to Apple. Having bought the previous OHCA 4th edition on the AppStore, it has now disappeared from my phone, never to return. Instead, buy this on Amazon Kindle or on physical form, then you will have it permanently.
