Reviews:
"The Chief Complaint is simply indispensable, carry it with me every shift. Excellent algorithms, concise, practical, clinically relevant explanations citing the current best-evidence for management decisions; without doubt Chief Complaint it is THE pocket Emergency Medicine reference to have with you at the bedside."
-Manuel Montano, MD, PGY-3, LAC+USC EM Residency
"…is really top notch. I really like how it organizes complaints in a flow pattern type way. This has allowed me to quickly adjust my decision making and makes it actually useful when I feel super pressured at work. The further detail located later has been helpful to one, get some good initial learning in and two, look to the resources cited for more in depth discussion."
-David Benaron, UCSD Resident
"Chief complaint is AWESOME…I think every single intern in the country should have one of these…SO COOL!"
-James Grieme, UCSD Resident
"The aptly named Chief Complaint is simply excellent. I really like the way it is laid out by cc and it's concise enough to be useful on a regular basis. I take it with me to every shift and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a streamlined, functional, real-time guide for working up patients in the ED"
-Nick Aldridge, UCSD Resident
"… really something totally new in the medical education world. This app does something many have tried to do but few have achieved, which is to create an orienteering guide to the med-ed landscape while launching your thought processes AT THE BEDSIDE when confronted with a new undifferentiated and undiagnosed patient."
-William "Billy" Mallon MD, Foreword

- Great appby res2080 on 2021-02-09 at 1:14 PM
Great app, very useful. Would be nice if a few drugs were under the general complaint categories. One bug, deleting any bookmarks will crash the app.
- OMG!by [email protected] on 2020-05-19 at 10:42 PM
Essentially this is a ER Doctor’s app. Myself and my husband are both ER and ICU nurses. A wonderful app for us as well. A good reference for patients to know what to expect for treatment in the hospital or by their own treating physician!
- Great appby shagadellic84 on 2020-03-09 at 5:52 PM
This is one of the greatest apps available. Its simple yet very thorough and it’s free. Nice job
- Good Content, Needs to Support Landscapeby Superflymd on 2020-02-22 at 8:53 AM
Many IPad users have attached keyboards. There’s just no excuse for not supporting landscape orientation, especially in an app designed for professionals.
- Unbelievable resource. Amazingby jm2267 on 2020-02-18 at 7:06 PM
I am an urgent care physician working in a setting where high acuity patients are common. I found this app by accident and can’t believe how fantastic it is. It is so helpful. One of the best apps I’ve seen.
- I only use my iPad in landscape mode....by Cubful on 2020-02-10 at 1:48 PM
I couldn’t possibly use this app because I use my iPad in landscape and landscape only because a keyboard is always attached. I do not get the point of an iPad version if you are not going to give us the full iPad experience. You could have just let us download the iPhone version that doesn’t rotate instead of wasting your resources on an iPad version that doesn’t really work.

The book is great too. Thanks Dr. Feier for writing this. Let me know if you need help marketing it. Wonderful resource.
- Fantastic resource for paramedics and doctorsby wookiecrisp on 2018-04-05 at 2:59 PM
Excellent, concise, evidence-based, and cleanly presented guide for EM providers. Easy to navigate and packed full of great info. I use this all the time and recommend to colleagues frequently
- Amazingby Austin Париш on 2018-03-14 at 2:20 PM
One of the most useful apps I’ve found as a resident. We have to figure out a way to incentivize this app further so they will add to the more sparse sections (ob/gyn, tox). Amazing evidence based resources for CV, GI, pulm, trauma and more.
- Great app!by alb02006 on 2017-05-20 at 10:06 PM
Very helpful!
