Anesthesia Comprehensive Review App Reviews

Excellent review questions. Good info on answers. Well done!

With regard to the Canadian Royal college exam, the material seems in line, and the format is very navigable. I would highly recommend it for anyone planning on writing this exam.

Liked the formate, user friendly. Almost 1000 questions, mostly all up-to-date, few need a review. Using it to study towards the Royal College examination.

Its awesome so far. Many of the references are of the recommended texts from the Canadian exams where I am writing. I have encountered a lot of questions that are excellent to read around.

Nice to burn through some well referenced questions when Im waiting in line, taking a break, whatever. "Star" feature excellent, lets me flag questions to read around later. Hope this helps me pass my written exam!

Lots of questions. I prefer this format to the print version. Perfect for subspecialty rotations. I like the explanations with the answers. In most cases, explains why the correct choice is best, as well as why the other choices are not. Questions cross referenced to text -- although not to most recent versions in some cases (e.g. Older edition of Chestnut for Obs questions) -- making a more thorough read around topics easy. Im not regretting the purchase... Thanks!

Very user friendly, a great review!

I purchased edition 4 a while back and have been reviewing the questions complete with notes, etc. (I had a system in place to review for my boards in two weeks). Today I opted to pay for the ed. 5 questions which were displayed in the app alongside the ed. 4 questions. When I opened the app all the ed. 4 questions are missing! I can find the ones I favorited (or wrote notes on, Im hoping) but the rest are nowhere to be found... Please fix this!!! On another note, a LOT of the questions in edition 5 are duplicates from edition 4. Not sure what it was I was paying for when I bought 5.

The hall questions are somewhat esoteric at times but the app is great. It makes reading easy.

This app makes learning on the go very easy and provides excellent explanations.

One might hope that purchasing the hardcopy of the book for $80 or so would entitle one to free access to the app. Unfortunately this is not the case. Coughing up another $90 for the app itself was difficult to swallow initially, but I have no regrets. It is a much more convenient way to review questions due to its portability, and much more engaging due to the automatic feedback that liberates one from having to flip back to the answers after each question. One quirk that hopefully will be fixed by the next update is that to answer a question, you have to hit "answer" at the bottom of the screen and then choose your answer from the row of A-E that appears. Really, Elsevier? The app is otherwise sleek and user friendly. One caveat: you can use this for free across multiple devices. Just hit "buy book" when you want to install it on your second device, and dont be dissuaded by the warning that you be charged $90. If you use the SAME iTunes account as your original purchase, it will be free.

This is a very useful app for preparing for boards. You get to see the correct answer explained for each question right away, and can even make notes about the question if you want. So much better than thumbing through pages of the book.

Even better format than the book with all the same great content

Thanks for the tip. I was taken aback from the "buy" message when I decided to use it in another iOS device. Thanks for the tip. I was worried about risk paying for it twice! This app, as well as the book, are great as a review tools for the ABA certification and recertification. I used the 2nd ed book for my first certification exam and it was the best investment I ever made.

This book is a good book for ITE preparation. But, I recently came across a problem. I upgraded my IPAD and then unable to reinstall the book in the new IPAD. I called apple and I was told to contact Elsevier and they in turn told me that its under iTunes control. After multiple calls back and forth , iTunes representative told me that this is an one time download only. If you loose or upgrade your i-device, you basically have re-purchase your book which I think is not fair for the reader. Because, when you buy a book, you expect it to be with you till you need it .

Excellent format! Easy to use! Great for quick studying in OR or when only have a few mins. Questions well written but most importantly answers are very useful. Only suggestion would be to add more of why some answers are incorrect in addition to why an answer is correct.

Great app. It provides an easier to use format than even the book, at a better price. Enter your answer, find out immediately if it is right or wrong, and read the explanation before moving on. It also keeps a tally of how many correct and incorrect responses youve had

Im using it to study for ITE and AKT. Well see how it goes

"I sold my iPad for a new one and cannot restore the book. Wants me to buy it again. Absolutely rediculous." - I must retract this as it is wrong. Actually you can restore the in-app purchase and use it on multiple devices. I found out by going to apple store, deleting my credit card, and clicking on the "buy book for $89.99" as an in app purchase. A box popped up and said that I had already bought it and let me download it for free again. Thank God. The I sent the app-store help people multiple emails and they were not helpful at all, and send out automated replies that were useless to me. I was forced to do the credit card deletion trick to figure it out.

Like others, I had bought the Hall book and never found the time to sit down and do questions. i really hesitated to spend the money again on this app, but it has been well worth the money. It allows you to do questions during those spare moments throughout the day that would otherwise be wasted time.
