### 2/5 — Great resources with a terrible interface

*2024-10-06*

Could be great but no easy way to search within pages and many glitches during use. Very frustrating app. Worth it on mobile but on desktop you're better off using the website over the app. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Stat!Ref

*2016-09-27*

Frustrating logon process tried endlessly to get in.
Never able to access any information. Extremely vague to no instruction in rectifying difficulties. I'm sure contact is excellent, too bad you can't access it!

### 1/5 — Stay!Ref

*2016-02-23*

How to get user name and password, as there was NO register icon.
Hopeful to solve this problem.
Thanks

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2014-01-16*

Nice app

### 2/5 — Not up to par

*2013-10-10*

This app is good for students because it contains plenty of resources supplied by the institution. However, it is not very functional.  It freezes frequently, shuts down for no apparent reason and will not allow local storage of content in case internet connection gets lost. The navigation tools are not very helpful and easily logs you out before getting back to the main menu.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-09-05*

Easy to use and works well. I'm a fan of good PDF format which I find much easier to read and follow. Hope this will be added in the future!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2012-09-24*

Very happy with how well this app gives me access no matter where I am. My session can be picked right back up where I left off. Runs great on my iPad as well, and takes great advantage of the larger screen. Bookmarks and dictionary integration VERY slick... Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2012-07-30*

If you have access to STAT!Ref through your college/university then grab this App. It worked fine on my iPad and iPhone. Great to have mobile access to the references with this service including AHFS. I actually prefer the mobile interface as compared to the PC.

### 2/5 — Error message

*2012-06-28*

Keeps saying it has an error in processing when you click on topic details

### 3/5 — Good app needs some additional features

*2012-01-08*

Easy to use and quick loading but this app could be improved two ways:

1) make an iPad specific version
2) allow for offline saving of material
