The ACSPBLS app is a great way to be able to enter cases into your iPhone or iTouch. I have been looking for this for some time. The previous app was only available for the Palm operating system. My Palm died, and so did my case log. There are a couple of obvious improvements for the next version. It would be very nice if the date of surgery would default to Today, so that I dont have to keep entering it. Support for a hotlist, or most commonly used list would greatly increase efficiency. It is very difficult to look up CPT codes, and essentially assumes that you know the codes. I guess that is ok, but it required me to place a CPT book at my dictation station. I probably use 20 to 25 CPT codes 85 % of the time. Thats why the hotlist would be great. Overall, I think it is a great app. I am trying to make entering my cases a routine after I dictate. This app really helps.

Great first effort
?Duplicate Entries
I have been looking forward to this since I saw the announcement on ACS website. Honestly, somewhat disappointed. I spent several hours inputting data since Jan 1 and when I did a sync, got numerous duplicate entries. I tried deleting, revising to no avail. It seemed to get worse. I hope they fix this bug.
Doesnt work with iPad
Does not seem to work with iPad. It does not allow the user to input the username and password on the first screen. Those fields are not accessible or able to be typed in.
Average
The application functions, but it is much faster to enter cases on the website, especially with the duplicate case feature. Entering data on the iPhone is too time consuming, especially dates. I really liked the Palm application which was faster than the web but was forced to get something else when my Treo fell from a height of 3 feet.
General Surgeon
I actually find it much easier to enter cases with this app than on a computer. This app however has not been working since I upgraded to the 4.0 version.
NOT os4 compatible
I called ACS who confirmed that this version is not compatible with iPhone os4. Kind of annoying.
Useful, but crashes a lot
This app is great for updating your case log, but I find myself frequently "saving" in the middle of entering data, otherwise the app crashes and I need to start over again. It is pretty unstable. If it were more stable and I could enter data quickly without fear of it crashing I would up it to 4 stars. If it had features like "hotlists" for frequently used CPT and ICD codes I would up it to 5 stars. Also it should default to todays date so you dont have to enter it.
