ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CURRENT Practice Guidelines holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CURRENT Practice Guidelines has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Anticoagulation Manager's written reviews are positive against 0% of CURRENT Practice Guidelines's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Anticoagulation Manager ships an update every 13 months, CURRENT Practice Guidelines every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 2, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
