It contains all of NICE’s clinical guidelines, including those on COPD, hypertension, stroke, chronic heart failure, atrial fibrillation, head injury, depression, ovarian cancer, UTI in children, anxiety and autism. It also contains all NICE’s technology appraisals, interventional procedures guidance, medical technology and diagnostics guidance.

Good for all medical laws and prescription details etc. Very up to date also.
App keeps freezing and crashing!
Brilliant app. BIG shame it is closing.
Stopped working
What a rubbish NICE app. This supposed to work and to be at hand when you need it, useless, typical rubbish British product,useless.
Completely useless app, try tapping on asthma guidelines and it opens up sepsis guidelines for you. Crashes. Not fit for purpose.
Nothing works as it's supposed to. Browsing by topic brings up completely unrelated pages. I also attempted to search for specific guidelines however when I click on a link it sends me elsewhere.
It never starts up. Useless keeps saying something went wrong
Just freezes after opening app after last update, can't select anything at all
This app does not work. There is little further to be said.
Freezes right after the app is launched. Totally unusable!!
Downloading the content is a challenge and installing the app delays
Links take you to wrong page in android
Doesn't work. Doesn't allow you to select anything
Too buggy. Good idea, but needs better maintenance maybe
not organized cannot find every thing nicely
App not responding at all currently.
App freezes on opening
Crashes on searching
Non-functioning
Not loading
Limited information
Would've have been great, but I cannot scroll smoothly when I've found the guideline. I can scroll properly everywhere else, but when it comes to the actual guideline, I can only scroll one line of text at a time. Seems like a pretty easy thing to fix. This app is a huge improvement on the previous version, but this nag makes it unusable which is unfortunate.
The database keeps getting corrupted after update. Random guidelines appear instead of selected ones. This render this marvellous app useless.
You should work on the scroll settings. It scrolls only 2 line and not smooth. Apart from that it's a great app to have.
The design is spot on, but because it isnt up to date is virtually pointless. This ap would otherwise be really useful. :-)
Good effort though. But need to improve functions. Never give the guidelines which I am looking for. It opens some other topic always. Please correct it
can't scroll smoothly!! and it would have been nice if we could just exclude all the QS guidelines from the search results..
Reasonable looking home screen. All it'll show me. I did wonder if that was the only page there really was, but I've now seen reviews from other people commenting that it won't do a whole load of other stuff as well. So, can only conclude that it's also rubbish at loads of things I can't even experience. Should I feel robbed by this?
