A useless app for Instructors
Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback, and we are sorry to hear that the app did not meet your expectations. The numerical score does not appear until after the session, but during the session the feedback icons for each learner should switch indicating "good compressions", "compressions too slow", etc. If you are not seeing this, or if this is not sufficient for instructing, could you please email us at appfeedback@laerdal.com so we may pass this along as an improvement suggestion? It would be much appreciated.
Instructor
Just combine the classroom and training apps and all functions for all QCPR manikins.
Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback. QCPR Classroom compatibility with the Little Junior QCPR and Little Baby QCPR manikins is currently in the works and will be available at a later date, but we cannot provide a firm release date for that change yet. Thank you for understanding.
Real Time Feedback -missing
Response from developer
The numerical scores will not appear until the session is stopped, but during the session you should see the feedback icon switch between "good compressions", "compressions are too slow", "compressions are too shallow", etc. Tap the help question mark icon to see all the feedback icons and their explanations. This graphic will update every few seconds - it's not exactly a live animation. If this is not how the app is functioning, please email us at AppFeedback@laerdal.com so we can provide further assistance.
Update. Complete waste of money.
There’s no way to set a time limit for the scenario like the standard 2 minutes like you can on the QCPR Training app.
Now the skills aren’t being reported with any level of accuracy. I scored a 97% by doing 10 compressions (too shallow) and 5 breaths (over inflating the manakin every time) for 5 cycles. It showed green the whole time , even when I stopped everything all together for a few minutes and went back to it with 10 bad compressions and 5 bad breaths. The lung feature doesn’t even register at all. But it still showed green and then gave me 97%.
We spent over $2,000 to replace the skins and install sensors in all our Annie and it’s all worthless with this software. I’d really like Laerdal to fix this so we can use it.
To add insult to injury there’s a Developer response at the end of this that asks me to copy and send this review to their team to review the issues. What? Instead of taking the time to tell me to copy and email this, why didn’t they just do that themselves? Way to not pass the buck, but just completely drop the ball.

I wish they would consult with instructors. Any instructor with experience will tell you the most important thing for the students to see is the speedometer, which is still the smallest thing on the screen. The depth gauge is important but it could be half as wide and still just as effective. The speedometer needs to dominate the screen.
QCPR Classroom is better than QCPR Instructor in two respects, you can have your tablet sideways to maximize TV screen space and you can have more than 6 active manikins. However it’s a complete failure because you can’t have any less then 20 active windows even if you only have 8 manikins being used. That’s 12 extra windows taking up space on the screen. That’s ridiculous.
The idea that you would need to be showing 100 manikins feedback all at the same time is idiotic. In what universe would any agency be able to teach an AHA approved 100 person class and have all 100 students be able to pick out their manikins window and follow along with class and que off the feedback from their little window. Even if it’s projected it will be unusable. Not to mention the frequency the manikins disconnect from the tablets Bluetooth when you stop practice to discuss skills. Imagine how long it will take to connect all 100 manikins to one tablet and keep them connected. A 100 person class would require at least 17 instructors and one full time tablet/manikin technician. This feature was not designed by an instructor.
So in short it’s still not even close to ideal for CPR training.
If they put priority into developing this to customize student numbers, and emphasize skill development (bigger speedometer) rather than volume of students, they will have a good app.

Thank you for the helpful and detailed feedback. If you have the time, please send that to us at AppFeedback@laerdal.com so we can process a formal product improvement suggestion.
Recent update broke the CPR race!
Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback. Yes, this is a feature that has been requested before. If you send this request to AppFeedback@laerdal.com we can add another formal request to the developers.

Thank you for your feedback. I have passed this suggestion along to the app development team as a product improvement request.
