Pretty good.
It's an exhaustive list. I would have given it 5 stars if the user interface was smoother. I wish I didn't have to click to much to see if the recommendation applies to my patient.

Perfect for MS3/4 FAMD rotation
This is a must-have for medical students in the FAMD rotation!

TDAP comment. TDAP is given to adults. In Fact TDAP is the drug of choice. Some Amish get Tetanus immunoglobulin as well along the odd who haven't received any immunizations. Wounds and eye injuries you can bet you received TDAP.

An app that allows you to confirm USPTF guidelines for everything!?? Would the developer of this app prefer a high five or an old-fashioned?

Desperately needs UI update
This app is in desperate need of a visual overhaul. Please update the app using iOS 7 design principles. We're on iOS 8 now for crying out loud!

Quick easy reference
Good reference for on the fly clinical decision making. Wish it didn't reset everything when I go back to the home page, but that's only a minor annoyance.
2013-01-05
great resource especially for primary care
This guide makes is simple that patients can be appropriately screened in the primary or community setting. Applies evidence based rationales/findings.
(-): need to add more diseases in profile and to be updated more frequently.

Great app
It is a must for any primary care provider. Rich app with many recommendations

Won't filter right
Doesn't seem to matter if you specify whether pt is pregnant or high-risk sexually active--spits out same batch of recommendations anyway. Please fix!

Incredible app!
Incredible! Uspstf is the gold standard for adult health maintenance. I usually bring their printed handbook to every clinic but I was amazed to see that they included all that info into this app! A must have for any med student, resident, and even attending

This app is useless to anyone that is smart enough to know that the given information lacks a lot of unanswered questions.
You still need a doctor's exam?

Finally!
I've been waiting for this app for a long time, glad it's finally released. The only minor issue with it is the loading time, otherwise perfect! Hopefully in the next version it will be faster.
