Very good App, couple things though Absolutely love this app, along with the other Guide apps that the publisher has made. However there are 2 things that need to be fixed. 1.) Needs to be available while offline. Even in areas where we have excellent cell coverage normally, I don't always get data in the back of the ambulance, or even in rural areas. Please fix this. 2.) Please, please!!!! Fix it so the pictures that are downloaded don't show up in My Gallery. I know there's a way you guys can do it so it'll just save without being in the gallery. Otherwise, great app and will continue to use, but will give 5 stars when these 2 things are fixed. RAZR.

Great app. Good way to review info during down time. I love the Glasgow, RT, APGAR & all of the other calculators. List of meds isn't as detailed as the EMS Pocket Drug Guide but still good. I would recommend to any EMT. Grab the pediatric app also.

Just purchased The amount of accessible information on here is nice for keeping in your pocket, things could be a little more in depth but still reliable.all up to date.and if you need a app because your in the sticks and have no service, maybe you should go back to school.fire/rescue isn't a app, it's a life.

Good for the money Great app but... Every time I close the app it erases my bookmarks. Also could use a specific page on vital signs.
