Pros and cons of ICU Pearls Critical Care tips app for iPhone and iPad

ICU Pearls Critical Care tips app good for

excellent info, easy to use. occasionally the formatting cuts off the end of a segment. it would be great if more pediatric ICU info was included.
Needs to be updated with more current literature, otherwise a great app.
Many misspelled simple words. Proof reading would be nice. Otherwise a nice app.
Im transitioning from pre-hospital critical care to surgical ICU. This app has definitely given me great information to assist with the transition. Thanks and keep the "pearls" coming!!!
Fun app to use in spare time. Contains great information but not really useful for looking things up quickly in the actual ICU setting.
Nice app for picking up a little research, but has a few outdated pearls so an update would be good.

Some bad moments

Really needs an update! Much of the content is a few years old.
Its an interesting app to look at when youve got a few extra minutes, but the references need updating. Also I wish the tips were organized into chapters that you could search under.
This is very outdated information. Also there is no way to sort by date. Please update and fix.
This was a waste of money- articles randomly appearing in no specific sequence. Was hoping for fact tips instead got scientific articles - no the right kind of information for an app
Great idea to have a daily tip/pearl for educating medical professionals. Unfortunately, I have not seen a new tip/pearl since buying this app. The app has promise, and would be very useful if they provided up to date information based upon the most recent changes in evidence based practice. Worthless to reread tips from 2006. There have been a lot of changes over 8 years. For the cost I would not expect a brand new post every day, but I would expect a daily tip that includes new posts as well as occasional repeats of previous tips that support practices affecting medical care today. I would not buy this app again, as it is not useful after reading through the tips the first time.
