User reviews

Can’t log in

I love this app however it no longer lets me log in. It says there is an update but there does not seem to be one. Please advise .,,

Nice teaching and tracking app

This app is great for learning how to use the equipment to drain and track the volume removed

More accurate drainage amount

The app doesn’t allow you to put the proper drainage amount. My drainage could be 325 and it doesn’t allow to chart that amount . We need to be able to chart accurate amounts. Other than this issue the app works good.

Login is cumbersome

I’m not crazy about the login from my iPhone. Username is remembered which is good, but filling in the saved password takes 2-3 tries and sometimes redirects to things I don’t even understand. Would love to open and authenticate with Face ID to speed up login.

Updates

Would be a 5 star but left me high and dry trying to update the app. Had to delete and reinstall. Let’s see if this takes.
