### 3/5 — Basic

*2017-06-23, version 4.0*

It's very basic and not very easy to navigate.

### 1/5 — Reviewed in the Wall Street Journal

*2014-08-07, version 3.0*

This is not a review for online. Please pass it along to senior Apple executives. It is that serious.

Dear Apple,

As you can discover, I’ve twice posted a detailed critique of “Pediatrics pocket” in an area where I have expertise. Neither appeared and there are no other detailed reviews of any sort. All that pediatricians thinking of getting this app see are little spasms, positive or negative.

Having tried twice, I’ve now posted about my experience in the comments to a recent Wall Street Journal article, “Why Your Phone Isn't as Smart as It Could Be.”

I don’t think I am exaggerating when I suggest that Apple doesn’t take medical information apps any more serious than it does games. If it did, my remarks alone were enough to trigger an investigation. Here is my WSJ post:

——START
Sorry, but there are serious problems with how medically related apps are sold on Apple's app store, flaws so serious, the FDA may need to intervene.

Check out "Pediatrics pocket." The posted reviews are just a few words long. I can't imagine anyone writing a lengthy positive, and I suspect detailed criticisms are not posted. I gave Apple two detailed critiques and neither has appeared.

I focused on childhood leukemia, the most common childhood cancer and one where delay kills. I know. I spent 16 months working at one of the top Hem-Onc units in the country. What the app says is confusing. Pediatricians should be told that for a cold that won't go away, unexplained bleeding, and joint pain suspect leukemia and draw blood. If it seems odd refer ASAP to experts. That's not what it says.

The bad isn't that Apple refused to post my critiques. The bad is that they triggered no investigation. Apple treats medical apps no more seriously than games. The FDA must change that.

Take this seriously Apple. Bad or confusing medical information can be as deadly as giving the wrong medication. You need to set up a top-quality review process for these apps. That child whose treatment is delayed might be yours.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2013-05-25, version 3.0*

Great app, excellent features!!

### 3/5 — Over priced

*2013-01-28, version 2.0*

Not a lot of information for the price.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2012-11-11, version 2.0*

Not worth the money PLEASE don't buy it!!!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic for students

*2012-08-07, version 2.0*

Little bit pricy for an electronic info app.  But very useful for med students.

### 5/5 — Latest update is huge!

*2012-04-23, version 2.0*

The "last viewed" option is great! This was my biggest upset with these apps! I'd have to start all over and find where I left off whenever I moved to a different app. Thanks so much for adding this feature!

### 5/5 — Good Job!

*2011-04-11, version 1.2*

This was recommended to me by someone in my class, and I have to say it’s helped me on my peds rounds. There are a lot of things included that I use every day and I especially found the sections on infant nutrition and fluid hydration very useful…that stuff always confuses me.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2011-04-07, version 1.2*

I have to say this little guide contains a surprising amount of useful information for its size. Don’t expect a book on pediatrics, but it gives you a lot of practical basics like Apgar, developmental milestones, numerous normal values, vaccination table, and quick dosing tables for antibiotics used every day, among other things. All in all, a good resource to have on your phone. Recommended

### 5/5 — Great App

*2011-02-11, version 1.1*

Highly recommended app. Nicely organized, superb info.
