Pros and cons of Lytes app for iPhone and iPad

Lytes app good for

This is a great application. It is simple, easy to use, and provides you with the data you need. I cant wait for.the update!

This nice little program helps you deal with lyte disorders. But unfortunately, there is no pediatric information: no specific etiologies, no specific lab values, and no specific treatments nor pediatric doses...

Now I dont have to try to remember all this stuff off the top of my head... Lyte to add: magnesium (not that common a problem but still something to consider, esp with the K already there)...

As killercarrot wrote, this app is a little light on some of the details and has a few errors. The user interface and concept of the app are excellent however! I also think MedRef is great for normal lab values to use in conjunction with this app.

Some bad moments

Some information is presented as standard if care but is not quite there yet. Caution. Also way too basic for mds.

For the price, this app is very much a disapointment. Not much more than a list of normal lab values. In the case of hyponatremia, suggested tretment do not reflect Verbalis guidelines (where are the vaptans?). It could be a very good app if expaneded with TX detail. . At this point save your money go with a cheaper simple lab value app like MesRef

You should already have these basics memorized if not now then at least after glancing at this app a few times. Im disappointed.
