ACLS Rhythms and Quiz App Reviews

Disappointed

Nice design only. Expensive for something useless. Only waves, no explanation. I do not recommend it at all. Wasting money.

Not worth the money

I expected WAY more for $19.99. If I had paid $0.99 I would have thought it was a really cool app, but instead Im left just wishing I could have my money back.

Awfull

Awfull. cardiac rhythms are too small and have no lines to properly assess plus the answer is given for you, not only that but the app doesnt let you increase the immage. The drug information is very limited and doesnt include contraindications or dosing for each use (ie- mag sulfate for PIH). There are only three algorhythms. DO NOT BUY THIS APP. $20.00 is way over priced. I too want my money back!

The quiz is a joke

Every answer is "correct". No challenge. Lame app. Id give it no stars if it were an option.

glitches need worked out before it is worth the money

appears to be brand new app so it may get better over time but right now the app closes every time you view one of the videos of a rhythm. Also when taking the "quiz" it freezes and wont allow you to click whether or not your answer was correct or incorrect.... algorithms are neat and up to date with the 2010 AHA guidelines with quick references on the side for good BLS tips and medication amounts/shock joules info. Not sure it is worth $20 though with the current glitches.

Solid App

While hesitant to spend this much on an app, I must say this is a solid app! Has everything I need for my ACLS class review, even with the newest guidelines. Thanks!

WOW !!!

Really cool app! The cardioversion movies are crazy you hear all the alarms going off, it gets my heart beat racing.

Good for ACLS, Great for arrhythmias in general!

Looks like the developer targeted ACLS but the arrhythmias are pretty good for learning ECGs in general. No 12 leads, only rhythm strips but definitely more realistic! The movies are amazing, almost feels like i am back in the ICU. my download was version 1.1 and no bugs yet, looks like they got a quick fix out.

the app I was looking for

thorough, up-to-date, easy to use, and a convenient resource tool for every day. Worth the price!

Not worth $10.

The ECGrhythms ap was much more helpful for studying ECGs. The cardio versions are a nice addition but not worth the extra money. The quiz is also not very good. The ap needs more examples of each rhythm to give a better sampling of what they look like in real life. Instead of simply listing the drugs, show us the ECH effect. Show us the ACLS algorithm in action on the ECG along with patient SS feedback. I expected a lot more for this much money. Save your money until a better ap comes along.

Overpriced

Considering what is available for ACLS apps this program is way overpriced. I kept looking for a submenu that led to more detailed information…..none exist. The med info is inaccurate. For example, it doesnt list stable, regular, monomorphic wide complex tachycardia as an indication for Adenosine as stated on page 165 of the 2010 ACLS Provider Manual. The rhythms are helpful to prepare for the Megacode but Im not sure its worth $19.99.

Great practice!

Great practice to read ECG on the monitor, but I wished there are buttons for describing the characteristics of each rhythm.

ICU shift-coordinator

I bought this app to pull out on a slow night to quiz my green-newbies!! They tell me they dread a life threatening alarm going off while Im off to a bed meeting!! This is sweet & simple! A lot of knowledge to the point!! Just what I was looking for--txs:)

No!!!!!

Spoiler!!!! All the answers on the quiz are correct. Run away from this app. I hope Im the last one to buy this. My 1954 encyclopedia is more educational then this.

Waste of Money

Should be 99 cents at most. Refund please!

Should not be 10.00

Wish I read all the reviews. The EKGs are okay but the quiz does little to help you. It should not be so much for what it is, I I thought that the scenarios would be more dynamic or the quiz.

RN

All the answers are "correct" ... What an awful teaching device!!!

Medical

Downloaded and shortly thereafter quit working. Last item I buy from this maker.

Elderly

Great app bundle yet when I tried to open elderly, it opened and then stopped working. What a disappointment. I need that $10 back!

Great

As a nursing professor and NCLEX instructor, this app is a great source for nursing students, as well as experience nurses. It is very organized and informative for the job. You have a few seconds to figure out what the rhythm is before you choose an answer, regardless of how they are situated. The content on the app is credible and valid, which is my area of focus.
