User Reviews
App is quick for calculators like HEART score and the “Rate Checker” tool is really useful for quickly getting a manual respiratory rate.
Incredibly useful and user friendly app!!!
I am an EM resident and have tried many various point of care reference tools. The design of this is the best I’ve used: it is incredibly, well-organised, logical, and easy to navigate to look up symptoms and make disposition choices. Would be nice if had quick drug reference and a place for personal notes, but overall I am really impressed with this app and think it’s a great resource for junior doctors who sometimes want to refresh memory about common presentations
I really like this app as an ER nurse, however I have paid a fee for the premium upgrade, and cannot open the premium content.
Have been using this app in my 4th yr of med school and as an intern on admitting days (thanks to Dr Milzman who rec’d it to me). Excellent design, concise, and easy to navigate, with useful links and pearls. Keep up the good work!
Sorry, the fix did not work. By the way, the last three haven't worked at all. Time to redesign the app?

Quick. Painless. Amazing. Thank you so much Madigan for sharing this gem with me!
Excellent app for quick reference for the most common conditions that presents at the ED
