Completely unclear
Does not generate results and is a waste of money- better stick with the flow charts
Old app better
The old app was worth the money. This one isn’t.
Not as intuitive
Not as intuitive as previous app. I was a little frustrated to purchase the previous app that worked well but became unsupported and had to repurchase this app that is challenging to use. I haven’t figured out how to get it to navigate to the recommendation page
Old one was so much better
This new version is not intuitive at all.
Glitchy
For multiple scenarios it just loops back to the beginning rather than providing a recommendation.
Guidelines inconsistent with the web app
This is extreme frustrating - the recommendations in the application version no longer match the web-based version (ie have not been kept up to date)!! This has led to inadvertent mismanagement . And this is a paid application too!
Not complete
I updated the app now I am not able to see all of the options in the drop down menu. My last selection option is AGC… how can I get the full use of the app???
Update is not working
New update is giving different result despite only supposedly adding dual staining info it now gives different recommendations than prior when no dual staining info is available.
Good info, terrible app.
This app is garbage. It doesn’t allow you to advance through the screens when you enter in certain info (if someone is HPV other positive with NILM cytology.) the flow charts should also be more easy to access. It’s definitely an insult to have to pay 10$ for this.

Bad update
I have used this app for years. This latest update is terrible. It makes you start with the colpo and make your way backwards and it came to a point in which I had to choose if HPV was positive or negative. Problem was, there was no option for no HPV done. It would not let me proceed from there and was useless. This was on a patient under 30 years old, so co-testing was not done. Ugh
App Update
App updates have made this amazing tool completely unusable. Please fix!!!
New update makes app pointless
The update is ineffective and removed the apps step by step feature to determine guideline. Must now look at the flat algorithm, thus making the app currently obsolete.
Not working
There’s been an update as of Oct 11 2024 and the newest version of this app has many glitches and pathways that go nowhere. Not good!
Hard to use
The last app was much easier to use! It showed the algorithm with each mgmt decision. This one has too many outside links and vague recommendations.
Not user friendly
Despite following the instructions and tips for using the new app, it’s performance is woeful compared to its predecessor. Fingers crossed there is a revision and an another version becomes available which we can use to provide patient care.
Pap app
Not user friendly
This new edition is worse and more complicated than the previous one
Not easy to read or understand
Preferred old app
The new app is much harder to navigate than the old app! Not a fan
New format is awful
I loved my old ASCCP app. This new one is very difficult to navigate. Also don’t like that it goes backwards from current pap rather than allowing you to follow from beginning of abnormal history. Miss my old one.
Ob/GYN
Managent app is impossible to interpret. Not helpful at all
Review
This is not as good as the previous app. People want to move forward in time in a step-wise manner like the previous version.
Also the language used for the point in time in which we begin entering our previous results in unclear. For example are we following up on current results of a pap or Colpo? Most of the time the are coming to us for a pap or colpo and we want to know are they appropriately scheduled for such.

Changing presentation of the guideline
You should notice at least to the paying members that you are changing the algorithm !

Not useful
Not user friendly
After multiple attempts to insert the same data 3 x
The result read: No recommendations
Would not purchase
Wish I could get my $9.99 back

App
Not user friendly and difficult to insert scenarios eg 30 yo with 2 neg pap, but positive HPV (one genotyped 18). Colpo CIN 1. Could not get algorithm for plan
Terrible
This new app is terrible. The old version was so easy to use. This one is confusing and not helpful. Please return to the old format.
Not user friendly
I preferred the setup of the previous app. This one is not user friendly at all, especially with post colposcopy recommendations.

As a point of care tool it is now useless. Which I had the older version and the old recommendations.

Awful
This new app is terrible and quite frankly useless. Almost any “follow up after treatment situation” ends with “no data is available, use clinical judgement”. Even though the algorithm papers would give you a recommendation. I regret having deleted the old app!
$$
The old version was already one of the most expensive basic medical apps on the market, and to come out with an entirely new one, for another $9.99, rather than just updating the old one is really praying of residents with limited financial resources who are just trying to learn and provide good care. It is a great app and helpful, but to have had to pay for it twice in residency leaves a very sour taste in my mouth.
Poor update
This app is confusing and difficult to use. For example, I put in a normal result for a 25 year old with a normal history. Even then, the routine follow up was hard to see. In fact, just try to find the routine screening guidelines. I think that this app was tested on people with prior knowledge. It is going to confuse new practitioners. ACSSP - get your money back from the programmers - this app is not worth $10!
Horrible app
This app is BEYOND confusing and information is missing. I am trying to put in a CIN3 for the colpo and there is not an option to pick CIN3. I am jumping all over the place trying different scenarios and I am so confused. To have to repurchase this app (because I could not upgrade the old one) for it to be subpar is inappropriate and DANGEROUS! You all need to fix this ASAP. Or I will just have to use my “clinical judgement” as the told me for CIN2 on a colpo.
Needs improvement
I loved the old app and how it guided one through the algorithms. This new app is much harder to use. It can be confusing to figure out the frequency to screen. I would love the new recommendations to be incorporated into the form of the old app.
Confusing
I’ve used the old app for years- it was wonderful- and user friendly. Not sure why the society felt the need to change. The new app is cumbersome and confusing, not intuitive at all. Definitely needs more work.
New update sucks
The new update is not user friendly like the old one. I could have saved the $15 and bought lunch and just used online sources faster and easier than this update.
Latest update less functional
Most recent update in 2024 much more challenging to navigate- getting stuck in loops when entering information or having entered data under incorrect headings as you progress through the sequence.
ASCCP
It is a more difficult. I was inputting info and was unable to put in the specific results for a patient. Unsure if the pt requires a colpo because inability to input exact results.
New version is terrible
The 10/2024 update no one asked for. It is much harder to enter data and isn’t intuitive.
Update without explanation
The update from last week gives different clinical recommendations with no clear explanation. Did asccp change their guidelines? If not, why is it recommending new courses of action? A colleague who had not yet updated and I input the same clinical scenario into our respective apps and got completely different recommendations… what do we tell the patient?
Flow charts are gone.
I’m not a computer or a monkey . Let me see the flow charts to make clinical decisions.
Why not update the last app???
I do not understand why the last app was not updated and we have to purchase a new one. I had no idea there was a new app. I assumed my last app was auto updating with the most recent guidelines. I ended up recommending a colpo for a patient that didn’t need one because I was using an outdated app and recommendations changed. Thankfully she did not end up having an unnecessary procedure but this is a huge issue.
At the very least, a notification when opening the last app stating an updated version is available would have been nice so we not using outdated information. This is not good patient care.

So difficult to use
Not user friendly. Things need to be linked to each other. Still reference the old app because it’s so much easier to use and get to a final recommendation.
Needs improvement
This simply does not come the may s as centroid we see patients in. Half the time it is not helpful on making a course of action. Not user friendly
New ASCCP app
Worse than the old app. Less intuitive
Frustrating.
I hope I am missing something. I wish this app was as integrated as the previous one- this one seems to require a person have both this app for the latest guidelines, and the previous one to have the actual recommendations. Which makes sense from a monetary stand point since the last app was not updated and instead a new app was made- but frustrating from a clinician POV.
Missing scenario
In practice for 22 years and ASCCP member for longer...disappointed to pay this fee and find missing in the app the scenario of hpv negative with lack of adequate endocervical cells.
Old app was better
This “new & improved” version is not user friendly and very hard to use.
Big disappointment
I was a big fan of the old app, but the new one is frustrating. Hard to use, not intuitive, poor graphics user interface.
Lacking
Lacking routine screening guidelines
