It was a 5 star but not able to use with new IOS so rating is zero. Three is until update so I can use again and bring rating back to five. Please update

Excellent software. Use it every day at my Hospital in the ER Department and ICU. Well worth the price.
Great for RT students!
awashbo
This program is AWSOME for RT students learning how to figure out acid-base balance equations. I have seen other similar applications but this one is so easy to manipulate and understand. I will use it all the time especially in clinicals. This appication is worth having and I recommend it for anyone whether it be a nurse, RT or even medical students. It will be well utilized!
Incredilbly useful
stitifier
Easy to use, and straightforward implementation. I've wanted an app like this to help me work out acid base problems for years. This is as good a program as you're gonna get!
fatal flaw
Daptomycin
Literally...using this program could result in a fatality as the information is inaccurate. A new update should be put out soon, but until then this program is worthless
Good for students

I will be recommending this app to my nursing students. It's a great way to see how small changes lead to large problems. Excellent use of the iPhone interface.

Acid Plus continues to be the leading ABG Calculator for the iPhone-iPod touch. I have been a PA-C for 11yrs practicing Nephrology and interpret ABGs daily. This App is spot on, excellent work guys. I strongly recommend this App without reservation for all.
