### 4/5 — Missing counties?

*2026-07-01*

Can we have an update for San Diego County? They’re posted online…

### 3/5 — Used to be good

*2026-06-18*

Used to rock my socks, but lately it lags excessively

### 1/5 — Issues

*2025-02-24*

I’ve bought the full version but when attempting to download the protocols it states that I do not have the full version. I’ve deleted and redownloaded and nothing is fixing this issue

### 1/5 — Used to be good , no more

*2024-07-04, version 4.5*

Used to really like this app, but now it has deleted many and has some convoluted code system for others that never completes properly. No loner worth fooling with

### 5/5 — Solid EMS Reference Tool

*2024-04-25*

I’ve been using PPP for over a decade. It’s my most common used reference tool on shift. Working in two jurisdictions, I sometimes find myself double checking protocols to ensure that I’m not making a cognitive error, and their system works well for that.

Also, because everything is downloaded to my device, I can swap between jurisdictional protocols simply and easily, even if I’m in a data dead zone.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-10-01*

Disappointed . I cannot download as this requires IOS 14. I cannot update either not even older version.  I am so tired of having to buy newer electronics just to keep an app up to date.

So what I have on my tablet is useless to me.

### 5/5 — Most medics I’m my agency use this

*2023-07-21*

Been using for years, perfect.

### 3/5 — Has to redownload every time I open it

*2023-01-24*

I had this on my Galaxy S21 and it had this same problem. Now I have an IPhone 14 Pro and it’s doing the same thing, after having to purchase it a 2nd time. Once it’s downloaded, the app is amazing! I work in a rural area, so I can’t always count on having service, to redownload it. Extremely frustrating!

### 5/5 — Well thought out, easy to use!

*2022-10-19*

As a paramedic student and a seasoned EMT, I wanted something on my phone that had my local protocols on it. I was a little worried about update frequency, but haven’t run into any issues yet! Well worth the price.

### 3/5 — What is updating?? Not a complete set of protocols

*2022-09-29*

Pretty good app for the most part. But it seems like every time I open it, it says an update is available.  My EMS agency only updates protocols 2 times a year so I don’t know what it is updating all the time. Also, it does not contain all of the protocols that exist in my area.
