Pros and cons of 10 Second EM app for iPhone and iPad

10 Second EM app good for

This program is a great reference for the ER. It has all the major criteria and management algorithms built in for treating life threatening emergencies. I think as a tool, 10 Second EM can really improve patient care as access to critical information is at your fingertips. I highly recommend this purchase to any one working in an ER or critical care setting. A definite buy!
Great app! Lots of algorithms, info that is relevant to everyday ED care. Good for all those random algorithms and formulas that you can never remember off the top of your head that you just need a quick reference for.
This program is all what it says to be. Critical information is readily available and easy to find when time matters. I would strongly recommend this to not only emergency medicine physicians/residents, but to any housestaff. Ideal for the new intern about to start in July. Great program!
Amazing Application. Accurate and to the point. As an intern, it helped me out a lot. I used it daily and recommend it to anyone working in an ED.
This app is absolutely perfect for the EM physician. There are many times in the the ED when you need to know a drug dose and need to know it quick. 10 Second EM gives you all the info you need without having to sort through bunches of info you dont need. I honestly use this app numerous times every time I work a shift.
This is a great App for anyone in medicine. As a neurosurgery resident, the quick access to comprehensive information on the run is invaluable. The amount of content included at this price is fantastic. This will be one of those Apps that you will use almost every day...

Some bad moments

This app abbreviates the information in many of its sections. Quick, yes. Thorough, no way. It has a variety of quick references, but if you want thorough ACLS drug info and algorithms, get Informed critical care guide along with this one. Im keeping it, but dont see myself running for this app over one of my others. -an EMT-I in Houston.
For a paid app to not be updated is insulting. The information is great, but the UI needs a iOS 7 overhaul.
I really want to love this app. Unfortunately, there has been no update in such a long time. The screen isnt even iphone 5 size, which is ridiculous considering the iphone 6 was just released. Could be a stellar app with just a few updates. Sorry, but I have to recommend users look elsewhere.
This was the first emergency medicine app I downloaded way back when and it was great (in 2010). But it looks as if its developers have moved on. Their website doesn’t work either. I kept on to it this long hoping for an update but will be removing it soon. Highly recommend ERres as a replacement.
