## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's ease of navigation and offline access to protocols. However, the app has not been updated since 2018, making protocols outdated and causing compatibility issues with newer Android devices. Many users report that the app fails to open protocols or crashes on current phones. There is a strong call for urgent updates to both the content and app functionality. The previous version's protocol display was favored over the current less user-friendly interface.

### Pros

- Easy navigation through protocols.
- Protocols can be accessed offline without internet.
- Protocol setup was previously easy to read and well organized.
- App provides important EMS protocols in one place.

### Cons

- App has not been updated since 2018 and protocols are outdated.
- Incompatibility and malfunction on newer Android devices.
- Unable to open protocols or app often crashes on new phones.
- Needs urgent update to work with current Android versions and include latest protocol changes.
- User interface changed from easy-to-read format to less user-friendly uploaded paper documents.
