Pros and cons of AHS EMS app for iPhone and iPad

AHS EMS app good for

Very well designed. I will be referring to this a lot, easy to navigate and use.
Great app and handy to have. I just hope they keep it updated as they fix the protocols one by one. That will make it 5 stars.
Very impressed AHS....good reference to have and easy to navigate
Wow, the flow charts alone would have deserved 5 stars. I stumbled upon the notes section and found the organization of etiologic factors easy to follow, and best of all, I can copy and paste into my notes. Amazing.
Really easy to use and practical. Needs updates and addition for a few protocols, such as dehydration, metabolic/ respiratory acidosis, etc.
This has far more information and is way easier to navigate then the $40 handbook. Always check this on the way to a call, and has given me a load of valuable information, especially as a brand new practitioner. As long as it stays up to date, five stars.

Some bad moments

When I open the app everything comes up as (null). Not sure if its compatible with iPhone 5.
Nothing comes up for this up, just null. Ive got an iPhone 4.
Not working on iOS 7 . App wont even open. seems to work if updated over the air update but from new install, it crashes.
Why make the interface more confusing? App was fine before, update added nothing of value, only took away. Simple is key. This is anything but.
what happened here?? Had a great app! Now looks terrible on the iphone... Sad to see the older version gone!
The new version has very small fonts and is not as nice to use as the previous version. More effort could have been put in, it looks like a windows 3.1 folder structure...
