Really helpful on busy nightshifts. I use the gentamicin calculator and empirical guidelines the most

Very useful but sadly October update has broken the app

Worked great before. October update now crashes every time

No longer works since October 2018 update (won't even install the update). therefore not much use.

QURIS ... Is that the app developer? Well that's the only thing I can see before ot crashes. No wonder, if you look at the email address for the developer, you know they have no interest to develop for Android. NES, it's time to get a proper developer who can built a NATIVE Android app, rather than a half baked iOS port.

Endless loading screen

Can't open the app on my new Samsung S8, which I bought specifically to accommodate the increasing number of medical apps!

I had this app on my previous phone (Samsung galaxy s5) and it worked fine. I have a new phone (Samsung galaxy A5) and now it doesn't work. When I open the app it has the loading symbol going continuously. Any ideas how I can resolve this?

It would be good if infection sciences students could access all the features

Seems to work OK. Is a bit laggy.
