Unusable
This used the be one of my most-used and an entire invaluable app. However, it is now completely unusable as I cannot even begin to scroll through and select components of a treatment / algorithm without the whole thing juddering intolerably. What a great shame.
Perfect!
A very best medical app I’ve ever had,
Really handy and helpful,
100% recommended!
Perfect!
It works again owing to the developers support. I use it every day and is very useful.
Stopped working!
Hello! I have been using Paediatric Emergencies app for several years and it has been an extremely useful addition to my learning. However since yesterday I have not been able to use the app. Even though it lets me input the child’s demographics details, it does not produce the desired results, as in it is not giving me the doses of any medications or even the normal physiological values. I would be grateful if this could be resolved asap. Many thanks
