Versatile, SImple and Useful

I had been looking for a decent logbook app for a while and this one is by far the most useful and user friendly one I have come across so far.
It is easy to put data in, it syncs nicely across my I devices - so if I forget one, I can use the other seamlessly.
I can take clinical photos, or photograph the anaesthetic chart if I want and I can audit my logbook as I wish when I wish.
Had a problem with exporting files recently, so I emailed the developer and within 12 hours the bug was solved! Have never had support like that with an app before.
This is a must if you are an anaesthetist or anaesthetic trainee in Australasia and I imagine it would be pretty handy in other countries as well.
Nice work guys - this one is a winner.

Developer Response ,

Thanks very much for the review, I really appreciate it. The sign off ‘nice work guys’ was funny - it’s only me doing all this! 😂

I have not outsourced a thing nor have I used any custom APIs in my code. Doing it this way allows me to have full control over everything and be able to fix bugs & make improvements very quickly. The downside is that I might be slower adopting features that other apps have.

I taught myself to code a few years ago with the aim of creating an app like Somnus for me and my colleagues. I use it every day, with almost 4000 Cases recorded so far.

I love the feedback and I try to implement any reasonable suggestions as soon as I can. I also welcome bug reports, especially when we can work out the root cause. As we discovered, they can be obscure little creatures!

Error

Sorry for the question, took me a while to find the conversion tab. Therefore I´ve upgraded the stars to 5 of them.
Have a good day from New Zealand

Change imperial units to metric ones

How do I do this?

Developer Response ,

Hello and thank you for the 4-star rating - I really appreciate it!

I'm not sure what you mean about chaining Imperial Units to Metric ones. The only units in Somnus are the weight/height measurements and they're already Metric (with Imperial Units show next to them). Please email me and I can try and help. Thanks again. Paul.
