What’s new in RN PocketPal

August 2026

• The photo-based Rhythm Reader has been withdrawn. It never cleared the accuracy bar we set for it, and a rhythm read you cannot trust has no business at a bedside.
• Rhythm Practice takes its place: identification drills across 19 rhythms, BLS/ACLS/PALS action questions, and six mega-code scenarios where the rhythm changes as you act. It lands in the next release.
• The rhythm atlas — reference strips and teaching notes for every rhythm in the taxonomy — is free for everyone.

May 2026

• A gentle in-app notice now appears when a newer version is available, so you are never stuck on an old build.
• A one-tap way to rate RN PocketPal — ratings help other nurses find the app.
• Startup and navigation performance polish across the toolkit.

Spring 2026

• The full tools and reference suite landed on Android: brain sheets, calculators, lab and medication references, IV compatibility, and more.
• PHI-free by design — your data stays on your device, on Android and iOS.

Spring 2026

• Customizable brain sheets, drip and dose calculators, lab and medication references, IV compatibility, and offline code cards.
• The rhythm strip reference — identifying traits and the 5-step method for the rhythms tele and ED nurses see most.
• Role-aware toolkits for RNs, LPNs/LVNs, advanced-practice nurses, assistive personnel, and students.
