Pros and cons of Critical Care ACLS Guide app for iPhone and iPad

Critical Care ACLS Guide app good for

This app is a nice tool to have on your phone. It works well and seems to have the information needed. A really nice and easy quick reference tool.
Awesome app to have as a reference to any emergent type situation.
For a new medic, this is an essential app. Searchable, opens quickly, easy to use, hasnt crashed yet. So far so good, thanks!
Love this guide, easy to use. It has everything that I use everyday at work. I would definitely recommend this product to any working medic.
I have used these guides for at least 10 years, and having it on my phone is perfect
Great app keeps me from having to find my old trusty book to look at.

Some bad moments

I can see this being great for beginners. The information it provides is very basic and not helpful for those who can pass their acls megacode with ease. It looks to have a good conversion calculator and it had an entire separate tab for pediatric meds. I already knew all of the information for adults.
App has not been updated in YEARS. No way of knowing what information is current. Also, app is not optimized for even remotely current iOS. Dont waste your money
screen is very small for iphone6, lack updates, lack simulations, information algorithm not well organized
Desperately needs an update. Screen size is still small. Very outdated!!
Worked great until I did the update now it keeps freezing and crashing waiting till it gets fixed
Its hard to use a pocket guide as a pocket guide when the app doesnt work. Please update immediately. iPhone 6
