### 1/5 — It doesn’t say any where here that I needed subscription after few days now I cannot access my data

*2025-03-26, version 4.1.19*

It doesn’t say any where here that I needed subscription after few days now I cannot access my data if I don’t pay
Shady
When you open the payment page it forces you to save card info 
I’m trying to get my previous logs but I can’t now , because suddenly it decided that I have to pay

### 1/5 — Worst App ever

*2023-09-12, version 4.1.19*

I had paid a life time membership fees & app just stopped working & ask for money after 3 months.Please don’t use such fraudulent app.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2020-05-29, version 4.0.9*

This logbook was by no means the best, but it was free. Then the long awaited “update” happened in 2020. Now it is so difficult to populate and ridden with bugs I would basically classify it as unusable.
Cannot believe an App like this is allowed to exist on the App store.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-10-04*

Absolutely useless. Spent hours inputting data into this app and the email function will not work.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2017-03-07, version 3.1.0*

This app erased all of my logged procedures without warning. Avoid.

### 2/5 — Not free

*2026-05-20, version 4.1.19*

Good logbook, but they request a R75 monthly subscription a few days after you download. Either I missed the Ts&Cs, or this is something that wasn’t disclosed upfront. Idk.

### 2/5 — Compatibility issues

*2019-01-06, version 3.1.0*

High time you release a new version to cater to higher end and larger phones like the iPhone XS Max. The app looks really ugly on this phone right now. Hoping for a quick release

### 3/5 — Good app but payment has bugs

*2022-04-18, version 4.1.19*

Very good app to keep a detailed log book unfortunately cannot contact support since am having trouble paying for a full version

### 3/5 — Irritating issues

*2021-01-30, version 4.1.12*

The app intermittently re-dates procedures so that 02/01/2021 also appears as 01/02/2021 - duplicating entries and displaying :    “ invalid data” on the exported spread sheet. Duplicated entries in the same date also appears every other time an entry is made.

### 3/5 — Update

*2020-10-20, version 4.1.2*

I used this app for 3 years. It’s very nice, useful and accurate. However, few month ago, you updated this app. Since then, it doesn’t work good. During entering a new cases, the screen turns grey and makes it very difficult with data entry. I stopped using it, wish if I can go back to the previous version

### 5/5 — Best surgical logbook app available

*2015-03-24, version 3.0.1*

Practical and logical design to capture information quickly. Exports well for summary purposes.

### 4/5 — Bugs

*2020-11-06, version 4.1.2*

1. I want edittable add column option.
2. After adding a procedure app shiws same procedure twice.
3. While exporting the logbook, the data should come in a single spreadsheet.

### 4/5 — Slots for pre and post op diagnosis

*2014-09-15*

Would be nice! ;)

### 3/5 — Nice App But...

*2020-07-07, version 4.0.9*

One of the feature that I like most is the statistic. The only thing that needs to improve is that, the app should always go back to where you left of, not on the top of the most current entry/page, since you have to scroll down and back to where you left of. Also, on the Top 10 Procedures, since some names of the procedures are sometimes longer, so it will be better if you click on the actual procedure with three dots ..., to appear and give the details of the name of the full procedure.

### 3/5 — Perfect app ..but need update for iPhone X

*2019-01-09, version 3.1.0*

Perfect app ...expect a few bugs
