Pros and cons of Calculate by QxMD app for iPhone and iPad

Calculate by QxMD app good for

Ive been using this app almost every day for a year! Its indispensable to doctors and medical students alike. Very complete and it has agreat user interface!
Very useful In family practice. But boring the "Leave a review?" every time a use the app. "Fix it ?"
Extremely helpful for point of care calculations. Could be improved by giving an option to see the formula itself in addition to just typing in variables as prompted.
I use it daily, best medical calc and decision tool app out there.
Quite useful when rounding and for quick reference via pub med. Any chance of adding back on the San Francisco Syncope rules (was originally in Cardio Calc) and adding Sokal scoring for CML? Cheers
Indispensable app used daily in my practice. Thanks for the fantastic free tool.

Some bad moments

After the last update, the app is not working!!! Please fix the bug!!!!
App is still crashing just after launching even after last update. iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4
This new version is just too full of glitches. All the time it refreshes, makes me enter data over and over again...
New Version ( enhanced for iOS 6 : LOL) doesnt fit the Screen of the IPad. Old Version was perfect. Sorry, but this update is a maior backstep. If you fix it, your App. Will get 5 Stars again !
Dont download this update. It doesnt work and you wont be able to use the app anymore. Please fix soon!
Less stable, large ad for their other app on top and worst of all, sponsored content.
