User Reviews

Critical- Medical Guide is widely praised as a fast, offline, comprehensive critical-care reference with strong calculators and a clean interface. It’s trusted by flight paramedics, ER, and ICU staff for quick access to pharmacology, pediatrics, and vent information, often cited as a go-to field tool. Reported drawbacks include value-for-money concerns and refund issues, intermittent calculator bugs (drip rates), limited dosing customization, and requests for more up-to-date content and features (e.g., VBG calculator). Overall, its practical strengths outweigh flaws when updates and bug fixes are addressed.
Pros
  • Rapid, comprehensive reference for emergency/critical care across domains (pharmacy, pediatrics, vent)
  • Built-in clinical calculators (drip rates, RSI doses, O2 calculations)
  • Widely trusted by flight paramedics, ER/ICU staff as a go-to field tool
  • Offline availability without requiring Wi‑Fi
  • Intuitive design and easy-to-read interface for quick field use
Cons
  • Perceived poor value for money with pricing concerns and refund issues
  • Calculators/drip tools intermittent or have stopped working
  • Limited customization for dosing to reflect specific protocols (weight-based dosing)
  • Content updates not consistently current (e.g., ACLS guidelines 2025, ultrasound updates)
  • Missing essential features requested by users (VBG calculator, more pediatric dosing options)

App is great, but it is missing the built in conversion factor to calculate Os on the EC135 single or double tank set up. There hasn’t been an update for 3 years, and the website for the dev is no good.

I love this app! It’s so helpful in the little rural critical access hospital I work at where the nurse is also RT, pharmacist, and lab. Can it be updated to reflect 2025 ACLS guidelines?

I wouldn’t download this for free! Had so many good reviews I gave it a shot. It’s terrible. I’m incredibly frustrated that I wasted my money. You have many resources at your place off employment that far exceed what is available on this app. Don’t bother.
