Poor camera
Response from developer
I'm sorry that you're not able to use the barcode scanner. The app uses your phone's camera to scan the code, and the barcode must be in focus for the scanner to be able to read it. Additionally, as stated in the scanner's help section, the barcode scanner may not be able to "read" medical barcodes due to some having a security code embedded within it that prevents off-the-shelf scanners from being able to read them. Addendum: a new version of the app (v4.5.0) is now available that improves the barcode scanner by enabling zooming in and out by spreading fingers apart or pinching them on the screen, also tap to focus if needed, and will use the iPhone's macro lens (on iPhone Pro models) which has a shorter focal length, so the camera can be closer to the barcode to focus on it.
Easy to use

Thank you for the positive review and glad you're happy with the app!
Lost data ... three times!
Almost perfect
Having to enter a password every time you want to use the app is annoying - please incorporate a save password feature
Response from developer
Thanks for your review and glad you like the app! Regarding the need to enter a password every time, one can set the app to use Touch ID or Face ID so that one doesn't have to type in the password each time one logs in (in the app's settings). A password is needed to protect patient privacy and to abide by patient privacy laws. Having a "save password" feature would defeat the purpose of protecting the data with a password, since anyone that might get access to your iOS device could then log in to the app if that feature was implemented.
BEWARE OF THIS APP!
Great app, except for the color.
Lost all my procedures/data
Help?
Response from developer
I'd be happy to help; please send me an email or use the contact form at the app's website: rmk-iosapps.com. If one has problems with an app, it is best to contact the developer directly to get help. In the Procedure Log app, one can find the contact details in the Info > Contact section. Since you haven't contacted me directly, I have no way of getting more information from you or responding directly to you. Since you state that there are no preloaded procedures, it sounds like there was a problem with the download of the app. I would recommend to delete the app, reboot your iPhone, then reinstall the app. That should fix your issue.
Great technical support
I apologize of my initial rating and I would like to change the rating to a 5 star. This App is the best one out there for residence and fellows to stay on top of their logs. I will recommend this to my fellowship program.
Response from developer
Thanks for updating your rating and review, and glad you like the app. Best wishes to you in your fellowship!
Good app
Response from developer
Thank you for your review. I'm not sure I understand your concern, though. If you have your phone automatically backup to iCloud, the information that is stored within the app is backed up and can be restored onto a new device from iCloud. There's also a feature within the app that allows one to manually backup to your computer. Any backup saved to your computer can be easily transferred to the phone using either the iOS Files app or iTunes. The only information not backed up is the username and password, since that is stored in a separate, secure area of the phone; so one would have to create a new user when getting a new iPhone, using the same password to log in to the app as in the old iPhone. Update (1/18/2019): as of version 3.7 of the app, the username and password are also backed up to iCloud in an encrypted format, so restoring your information from an iCloud backup to a new device should be a seamless process.
Great app!
