Pros and cons of Fast Facts for Critical Care app for iPhone and iPad

Fast Facts for Critical Care app good for

Amazing app. As a nurse, its a great reference guide to have at hand in the critical care setting. Would highly recommend to others.
more depth in the older written version. that said there is a lot of info here in an easy to use format. I would like to request a cranial nerve assessment chart for either the fast facts or trauma module!
Please fix glitch where the tabs under drip tables wont open. This started after new iOS 10 update.
Excellent resource!! Have used for years but has quit working with latest update on the iPhone... Any plans to update to make compatible????

Some bad moments

The app has disappeared/does not work! I paid for this app!?
Please update us on why this app isn't working. It was not cheap. I have used your system since 2001, and loved it. I have recommended it to all critical care nurses new and old for years. Please don't make me eat crow. An explanation would be greatly appreciated.
Come on fix this app! it is a great reference - when it works!!! Not to mention Again - that the users have paid for it!!!!!!!
I wish I could put zero stars. App will not open on iOS please update so it will work
Please please update this app!!!!! It's such a great reference that I paid for, I wish it was actually usable!
I am really glad that i am not the only one who has found this. I use this app ALL the time as a reference and have for years. I PAID for this app as well. I should be able to use it. This really needs to be fixed. It os unacceptable
