5/5Digital Standard of Care for ACLS
The 5 Star AHA ACLS app is outstanding and has become my go-to resource during cardiac arrests and other cardiac emergencies. My colleagues and I rely on it regularly because it is practical, intuitive, and clearly designed with real clinical workflows in mind. It is evident that this app was built by physicians who understand the needs of doctors in high-stakes situations. For any physician involved in acute care, this is an exceptionally valuable tool and one I would strongly recommend.

5/5Excellent new features
Been using this for sometime and really like all the new features to make it that much easier to run codes

Abbielizzy · 31 Jul 2026
5/5Give it a shot!
Full Disclosure: I’m one of the contributors and our team hopes you‘ll give this app a shot during the rapids/codes you run. We think it’s the best solution on the market with all the ACLS info you’ll need to make the right decision (algorithms, drugs, doses) and timers built in to ensure you’re on track - the timers turn red at the algorithm-indicated time points, gently nudging you to take the next steps. Please do give us feedback as we are always working on improvements!

1/5Monetization
Money grab for a resource that should be available for free

ArminNP · 31 Jul 2026
2/5It’s a great app, but…
I used this app some time ago when it was free. Great app, very useful. Is very unfortunate that it is no longer free. I can appreciate the need to now charge a nominal fee, however I have several issues with the implementation. 1) A basic version should be free. As it stands the app is completely unusable outside the 3 day trial without a subscription. At least make the ACLS cards free in the app without nagging prompts for subscriptions. This is an invaluable resource in low resource settings, and charging a fee to access the basic information removes a critical resource. 2) A subscription service is just tacky. When I pay for something, I expect to own it - not the case with a software subscription. I realize SAAS is all the rage right now, but it’s really better to stick with a purchase model. I happily bought the ASCCP app and the subsequently updated version for $9.99 each, but I would never consider a yearly subscription to the same app. Just charge a one-time fee (or a nominal purchase fee and then charge for an upgrade) just like any good software for the last 40 years. 3) You went the subscription route and didn’t enable family sharing. This is the real insult here. Not only did you start charging for a free app. Not only did you decide to charge a subscription rather than let me purchase it. You INTENTIONALLY decided to not let members of the same household share the subscription. Absolutely ridiculous, and a great example of the greed present in corporate medicine today (even in orgs that claim to be nonprofit).
