Started FY1 a few months ago and this app has been a lifesaver for my on calls! Has management for most common conditions in an easy to find format and also had references and common calculation tools too! Really helpful and saves a lot of time not having to find guidelines online. Defo a steal for the price and i definitely recommend it!

Thank you for your kind review 👍
Stunning!

Can’t believe I hadn’t used this sooner. It’s so hard to find clear guidelines when you need it but this makes on calls and acute problems, as well as interpreting results, a breeze! Thanks.
Developer Response
Many thanks for lovely review. Glad you find it useful. 👍
New UI update is awful

Excellent app, used all throughout F1 and was a lifesaver. Old layout was so easy to navigate and quick to load of specific things but this new update with a list format is awful. Have to manually type in what I’m searching for or spend ages going down the list instead of just looking at the grid layout and clicking it. Please revert back!
Developer Response
Many thanks for your review. Sorry to hear you do not like the new layout. Hopefully you will find it easier to use as this requires less clicks / back and forth between menus and better search function. You can filter the list by document type (click on icon) or text search (searches by partial words too) or favourite. Or combination of all 3.I’m afraid we aren’t looking to revert to the previous layout. The new layout allows us to show document / calculator descriptions which the previous one did not.
Amazing!

Really detailed, only downside discovered so far is that the calculators don’t allow a tap to calculate automatically function, but overall super helpful!!
Developer Response
Thank you for kind review…we waited before replying as we wanted our new update to be released that gives you over 100 interactive calculators. Update and enjoy 😁👍
