### 2/5 — Unusable

*2024-06-13*

This used the be one of my most-used and an entire invaluable app. However, it is now completely unusable as I cannot even begin to scroll through and select components of a treatment / algorithm without the whole thing juddering intolerably. What a great shame.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2023-02-08*

A very best medical app I’ve ever had,
Really handy and helpful,
100% recommended!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2021-10-03*

It works again owing to the developers support. I use it every day and is very useful.

### 3/5 — Stopped working!

*2021-09-13*

Hello! I have been using Paediatric Emergencies app for several years and it has been an extremely useful addition to my learning. However since yesterday I have not been able to use the app. Even though it lets me input the child’s demographics details, it does not produce the desired results, as in it is not giving me the doses of any medications or even the normal physiological values. I would be grateful if this could be resolved asap. Many thanks 
Omar

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-07-24*

Easy to use

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2021-05-03*

I use this occasionally during on call duty in ED. Reassuring to know it is with me.

### 5/5 — Quick and Easy

*2020-11-17*

As a paediatric ED nurse in the UK this is one of my most used apps for any emergency that comes in. Provides rapid evidence for those drs who can’t agree and easily gives me the reassurance when having to give medications in an emergency situation (how much to give, how to dilute and how long for). 
I seriously recommend paying for the whole app. Completely worth the money.

### 5/5 — Best paeds app

*2020-11-12*

I’m just really impressed with this app. I’ve used a few similar apps as an ED reg but this tops them all.

### 5/5 — Dr very useful website

*2020-09-17*

### 5/5 — Life saver!!!

*2020-08-25*
