## Review summary

Users consistently praise VetPDA Calcs as a comprehensive, fast, and customizable veterinary calculator suite useful for clinicians and students. Recurring downsides are iOS update compatibility causing launch issues, missing overweight-dog nutrition options, and weight/units handling limitations (lbs/kg and automatic conversion).

### Pros

- Comprehensive, all-in-one veterinary calculator suite (dosages, CRI, fluid rates, nutrition, surface area conversions).
- Time-saving and enhances clinical workflow.
- Highly customizable (CRI dosing options, units, and display preferences).
- Valuable for students and clinicians; supports veterinary rotations and learning.

### Cons

- iOS compatibility issues after updates; app can fail to open on newer iOS versions without an update.
- No overweight option for dogs in the Energy Requirements/Nutrition calculators.
- Weight/units handling needs improvement (default lbs vs kg; lack of automatic pounds-to-kg conversion).
