Pros and cons of NICE Guidance app for iPhone and iPad

NICE Guidance app good for

The app works fine and it targets an unmet need in our daily practice. Its easy to find relevant information helping us to provide a better standard of care.
Highly recommended for all students -pharmacy, pharmacology, medicine..can access all nice guidelines anytime! Saved me a lot of time and now very helpful for exam revisions! Even a non student can benefit from this as it has guidelines for many and most health conditions :)
