Pros and cons of USPSTF Prevention TaskForce app for iPhone and iPad

USPSTF Prevention TaskForce app good for

Five stars. There is nothing else like this out there. Great source of evidence based information. Hope to see this continue to develop in the future as Im sure it could become a daily tool for GPs.

待ってました！とても便利なEBMツール。日々の診療に役立てます。

An app done right; simple interface and quick load speed. Perfect for the primary care provider.

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

I am an academic family physician and I am recommending this for all my programs residents.

Great app for clinicians. Nice interface. Works well and very easy to use.

Some bad moments

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 doctors exam?

Doesnt seem to matter if you specify whether pt is pregnant or high-risk sexually active--spits out same batch of recommendations anyway. Please fix!

This app is in desperate need of a visual overhaul. Please update the app using iOS 7 design principles. Were on iOS 8 now for crying out loud!
