### 3/5 — 2021 Updates \ ECDS

*2021-05-06, version 8.1*

Useful app - disappointed that the 2021 CCG changes have not been updated and it still includes the A&E data set even though ECDS has been live for 2 years now

### 4/5 — Problems with 2020/21 upgrade

*2021-03-30, version 8.0*

Just updated to the latest version and there’s problems with the functionality.  Many instances where rows are totally unreadable as everything has a dark background. Not sure if you’ve had any other feedback but I’m using iPhone os 14.4.

### 3/5 — Really useful for BI but..

*2020-01-15, version 7.0*

I am sure I used to be able to search ICD10 & OPCS  by description as well as code but now I can’t- annoying as mostly I am looking for the code for a given definition

### 2/5 — Great idea but labels broken

*2019-11-25, version 7.0*

Can’t switch between ‘label’ and ‘code’ so impossible to search for procedures. Good app when it used to work

### 1/5 — App now broken

*2019-11-01, version 7.0*

Doesn’t let you toggle between ‘Code’ and ‘Label’ so you can no longer find the HRG via its description.

### 5/5 — Must have companion

*2017-05-19, version 6.1*

Great app for BI and anyone else involved on a daily basis with clinical data (I use it everyday). Great to see the update for 17/19. Would like to see ODS codes for non-NHS organisations; in particular acute ISPs. Data dictionary would also be a welcome addition. All things being equal still a very useful app. Nice one Mike!

### 5/5 — Really Useful

*2017-01-05, version 5.1*

Find this app really useful on a regular basis (NHS manager in an acute trust)

### 5/5 — Clinical Coding

*2015-08-09, version 4.1*

There is a problem with the latest HRG tariff not listed in the settings after purchase.

### 4/5 — 15/16 ETO Tariff needed

*2015-06-16, version 4.0*

Excellent app, but needs latest 15/ 16 tariff update please.

### 5/5 — Brilliant App

*2015-06-02, version 4.0*

I'm an information analyst in the NHS and have found this app incredibly helpful. Please please can it be updated with 1516 though!
