### 5/5 — So useful

*2024-02-01, version 1.0*

I love the Pops app, it’s a great resource for
Primary care clinicians

### 4/5 — Great App but 2year old confusion…

*2023-12-28, version 1.0*

Great app, I like using it as part of my assessment on paediatric patients. However when assessing 2 year old patients there is an overlap 1-2 years and 2-4 years… should this not be 3-4 years to reduce confusion for the clinician with the parameters.
