I bought this app because i didn't want to carry a small paper guide with me all the time. I look at this whenever i have down time at the station and review some of it. It does come in handy because every call is different and i sometimes forget what i am looking for. I agree that this shouldn't replace training but it is a good reference . The drug list section comes in handy !

Airway has no reference to oropharangeal nor nasopharyngeal. Crashes when I select Trauma-Skeletal continue reading. Missing Scene Survey (has crime scene), also missing Primary and Secondary survey, SAMPLE, CLAPS, TIC... Good but needs improvement.

I first found the physical flip book which was amazing. Then I found the app. However when I was scrolling as soon as I hit the bottom of a list and contiuned scrolling the last avalible options would start... I don't know how to describe it any other way besides apearing to vibrating. The more you try to scroll past the end on either the top or bottom it will do the same thing. On a side note I do wish the app had the same look or a similar look to the physical flip book to make it more visually apealine.

Great reference app, only thing is are you going to update the ACLS and AHA BLS with the new 2015 standards also other things like selective spinal restrictions? It was updated in 2011 but any upcoming updates for content? Otherwise great and invaluable tool.

Used to work great. Now it wont load pass downloads startup even after actually downloading all files. In get the "no network connected" error even though I am connected to both 4G and wifi and was just streaming music and video. An update would be nice.

Had this on my Note2 & it was a brilliant reference tool. I updated to a Note4 & now I cannot download all of the media files (Stops with 2Mb) still to download. I complained to the creators who said my email was not registered with them & I should ask Google Play for a refund. So temperamental app & useless support taking your money & then not supporting their customers. My recommendation is to walk away.

Use to run, now it doesn't. Haven't seen any updates either. Sucks cause I paid for it. Tried reinstall but still stops working. ]

In trauma section for suspected head & c spine injury you stated consider nasopharsngeal airway... that is a big no-no! Never use NPAs with suspected head injuries! OPAs if Pt is unconscious is ok . Also main screen is black while rest is white bkgd. Would be better all white bkgd just for ease on the eyes. And pls consider O2 tank calculator.
