Don’t bother with this app. It just stays on loading screen forever

Search doesn’t work for titles
Jness09
Edit 2019. Revising as promised due to developer response. Search “dyspnea”, nothing comes up. “Breath” and dyspnea will show as a search result. Same with fever and most of the AEs I search for. Make titles of the AE terms somehow searchable and I will revise to 5 stars. Until then I’m looking for a different app.
Developer Response
Finally CTC-AE has been completely rewritten and the new search feature scans all the fields: MedDRA, SOC, Term, Definition.
Great concept, but needs work
ISM143
Sadly, poorly designed. Can’t save favorites and search terms are tedious. For example, can’t just search ALT- you have to spell it out. Great concept to have CTC-AE 4 and 5 in one app with performance scales, but please make it more user friendly! For an app that costs 2.99, should be bettter.
Developer Response
Thank you for your request. The update 3.1 now includes two new views with two separate bookmark lists for CTC-4 and CTC-5. You can add the most common adverse events to these lists for quick access. Please feel free to visit our support website and ask for new features to be implemented in the next major release.
Interesting app
JAG11111
An interesting and easy to use app. Perhaps adding in more adverse event definitions would be helpful, such as thrombocytopenia and leukopenia.
hot fix add/edit trials, patients, events
