Cinch pulls your assignments and syllabi from Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace (D2L), or Google Classroom and posts them to your Google Calendar in about five minutes. Then it builds a study schedule: a block of time for each assignment, placed around the classes and events already on your calendar. If you miss a study block, Cinch moves it. A block you skipped on Sunday shows up again on Tuesday. You don't have to replan anything.

About

RxTyper

Read full description

RxTyper is prescription typing practice for pharmacy technicians and students. You read a script and enter it the way you would at the counter — medication, date, DAW, quantity, days supply, refills, the sig, and the prescriber. Then you find out exactly what you got wrong. Not just "incorrect": which field. WHAT YOU PRACTICE • 900+ prescriptions across 22 dosage forms — tablets, capsules, ODT, oral suspensions, eye and ear drops, inhalers, nasal sprays, insulin pens, transdermal patches, creams, ointments, suppositories and vaginal inserts • Sig codes — type the shorthand, watch it expand into the full instruction • Days supply, which is a different calculation for every form: drops per mL, puffs per canister, units per pen including priming, whole bottles for suspensions, wear interval for patches • Prescriber lookup, DAW, refills and date entry INCLUDING THE ONES THAT ARE WRONG Not every prescription that reaches you is correct. Some show a days supply the quantity will not cover. Some name a dosage form the instructions contradicts. Noticing that is the job, so the practice bank includes them. A BREAKDOWN, NOT JUST A SCORE Every answer is graded field by field — name, date, DAW, quantity, days supply, refills — and the instruction is broken down further into action, route, dose amount, frequency, special instructions and duration. When a sig is marked wrong you can see which part of it missed. TRACK WHAT ACTUALLY NEEDS WORK Overall accuracy, question-by-question review, and a running record of the mistakes you repeat. PRO • Unlimited practice — no daily limit • Targeted days supply practice: drill one kind of calculation at a time — inhalers, insulin pens, drops, liquids, patches — instead of whatever comes up • A calculations breakdown showing your accuracy per category, this week against last week, and the areas responsible for most of your errors • Week-over-week statistics • Custom sig codes — add and edit your own • Detailed instruction error tracking Without Pro you get 15 questions a day, every dosage form, and full answer breakdowns. Every prescription, prescriber name, phone number, NPI and DEA number in the app is fictional training material. RxTyper does not connect to any pharmacy system and does not handle real patient information. RxTyper Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, available monthly ($4.99) or yearly ($29.99). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy : https://rxtyper.com/privacy
