Love the app but crashes on iOS 14

Love the app, but I am unable to open it since my phone updated to iOS 14
I was unable to find a contact number or email for the developers of this app to notify them of the problem.
Please update ASAP!!!

An update is in order; After getting in contact with Phil (the developer of this app) he was able to put me back on track in no time at all.
I highly recommend this vet calculator, it truly makes your life easier!!

Updated review

Thanks to Phil and his patient emails, we were able to figure out the problem. It was an easy fix of deleting then reloading the app. I am very happy to have this app back in my toolbox!

As a vet, I used this app quite a bit. A month ago I tried to use the app but got nothing. So bummed. Are you not updating it for the latest Apple operating system? Please fix!

Dot doesn’t work

I found that the dot doesn’t work on my phone and I can just put entire numbers

Request

A math wiz I am not. Like many, I am baffled by CRI calculations and have found relatively little on the internet to help. Would you please provide a more ample explanation of the process , detail by detail (OK, “for dummies” would be a more appropriate term) and provide a choice to enter pounds that would automatically be transformed into kgs in the background as was done in other calculations.
Otherwise this application is EXCELLENT!!!!

Needs more units

Cri calc only lets you input entire units! Impossible to calculate anything less than 1mg/kg/min

Problems with fractioned doses

Good resources, but after upgrade the key “,” is no long working.

Missing Something!!

Please add an “Overweight” option for Animal State under “Dogs” in the Energy Requirements Calculator! :)

Great app

Just used it for calculating potassium infusion rate in DKA cat.

The only minor modification I'd like to see us the ability to toggle on/off certain functions from the main view. For example I'd clean up that view by toggling off equine and a few other calculators so I would have to scroll around looking for the few that I regularly use.

Great!

Very well designed. Perfect app for clinical practice.

Fantastic.

This tool does your calculations for you! Fluid rates, drip rates, drug calculations, nutritional requirements, surface area conversions. All in one place! Helps me speed along through the day.

Must have for vets

So useful for quick info in daily clinical practice.

Simple yet useful app. Love that you can check what formula they are using to derive answers.

Would recommend to anyone.

Disappointed

I thought I was getting a program that would tell me drug dosing. Instead it just gave me a calculator and no recommended dosages for common drugs used in vet medicine.

I'm a recent grad and love the app! Definitely nice to double check math or dosages quickly.

For future updates it would be nice to see:
-dog overweight nutrition calculation
-common toxicity calculator such as chocolate, NSAIDs, xylitol, etc

So far the best vet app in the store. Please keep improving on this great product:)

Must have app for vets

Very impressed with this app. Now all vets in clinic have it. Love the update.

Great app

A great app, overall, but a few things would make it very helpful to a GP like me:
-- Allow a user setting to use lbs as the default over kgs.
-- Why is there no overweight option for dogs, just cats?
-- It would be crazy helpful to be able to store my typical dosages for commonly used drugs and just select a drug from my list. Maybe allow the user to store up to 20 drugs for quick calculation?

Overall excellent, but I'd love to see these changes in a future version, would make it useful enough to me to be a 5.

Excellent app

Very useful and reliable calculators for ER and GP work; User friendly; Already lots of great updates

Best I've Seen

I'm a veterinary student and I was very happy to find this application. In the instances I've used it thus far it has been most helpful, and I would recommend it to my classmates. Please make more veterinary based iPhone applications!

Fantastic app!

A very nice application for everyday use in the hospital. This is a big time-saver for calculating dosages and CRI's, and it's a nice way for me to double-check my math. Very customizable, for example, the CRI dosages can be changed to mcg/kg/sec, or mcg/kg/min, or mg/kg/sec or min instead. The anesthesia drug calculation section has recommended dosages discreetly in the corner of the screen, and will already suggest the most common formulation, ie: diazepam at 5mg/mL, although you can change it if you like. This is a very useful and practical app. Well worth the price!
