### 5/5 — More stable than the newer version

*2023-04-21*

While development has ceased, we are still stuck using this version in clinic as the Axis 5 version continually & randomly logs out our users.

### 5/5 — Five Star

*2013-12-22*

Great product. SonomedEscalon has once again exceeded expectations. Five Star Sales and Support!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2012-10-08*

This little app is fantastic.  It is simple, very fast and the touchscreen works great - browsing images on the touchscreen is much easier than on the desktop.  Patients like it when I show them their results on an iPad.  Highly recommended.
