Thanks (belatedly) Laura.
I've been on leave, but it looks from my off line in box as I fly over Abu Dhabi as though we have also launched the BNF for Children as an app in the last couple of weeks too - for android and apple phones and tablets. Limitations apply as Laura says, and we continue to work on those.
Apps are certainly popular. We think they're fabulous of course. The BNF was at 45,000 downloads and the NICE guidelines app (no limitations) was at around 65,000 downloads two weeks ago.
Best wishes
