5/5Request
A math wiz I am not. Like many, I am baffled by CRI calculations and have found relatively little on the internet to help. Would you please provide a more ample explanation of the process , detail by detail (OK, “for dummies” would be a more appropriate term) and provide a choice to enter pounds that would automatically be transformed into kgs in the background as was done in other calculations. Otherwise this application is EXCELLENT!!!!

5/5Updated review
Thanks to Phil and his patient emails, we were able to figure out the problem. It was an easy fix of deleting then reloading the app. I am very happy to have this app back in my toolbox! As a vet, I used this app quite a bit. A month ago I tried to use the app but got nothing. So bummed. Are you not updating it for the latest Apple operating system? Please fix!

5/5Great app
Just used it for calculating potassium infusion rate in DKA cat. The only minor modification I'd like to see us the ability to toggle on/off certain functions from the main view. For example I'd clean up that view by toggling off equine and a few other calculators so I would have to scroll around looking for the few that I regularly use.

5/5Love the app but crashes on iOS 14
Love the app, but I am unable to open it since my phone updated to iOS 14 I was unable to find a contact number or email for the developers of this app to notify them of the problem. Please update ASAP!!! An update is in order; After getting in contact with Phil (the developer of this app) he was able to put me back on track in no time at all. I highly recommend this vet calculator, it truly makes your life easier!!
