### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2024-03-27*

I tell all of the staff to download it. 
I’m told it may not be compatible with most recent iOS?

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2024-01-11*

I’m a PA student and I make flashcards on my iPad but the iPad version does not show the full image cenetered on the screen. The injuries tab doesn’t work very well on iPad.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-11-08*

Really good app for systematically reviewing plain films. Able to view labelled and unlabelled versions of common abnormalities on each film. Lifesaver for a first year radiologist
Thanks for making this

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2022-08-25, version 1.85*

Pretty much perfect for what it does. Kudos to devs, love it

### 1/5 — Images off screen

*2021-02-16, version 1.85*

This would be great, if I could actually see the images. All images are stuck with only 1/3 of it showing, unable to move into view. I tried turning my tablet upright, nothing helps.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-11-21, version 1.85*

This app is super helpful for your common X-ray findings! Quick and easy to use. Well organized and succinct.

### 5/5 — App won’t open

App won’t open -please fix

**Developer response:** Hey-- we just released a new version of the app that addresses the compatibility problem. It should work great with iOS 13 now. Sorry for the delay-- the bug ended up being harder to track down than we expected. I hope you enjoy the new version, and if you do, please consider submitting an updated review. Thanks! -Nate
