  • Great content some bugs with app

    The content is simply outstanding, no questions there. What I find disappointing is the app, too buggy, if you scroll back the video doesn’t start playing again and you have to reload or close the video and resume, same issue if you use the go back 15 sec option, for this reason I prefer the web version.

  • Has great potential, but missing some features/ needs to work out some kinks

    I love the videos themselves. They are super helpful as a tool! However, as an app the navigating of the videos is not very streamlined, and it’s difficult to play one video after another within a subject manner. Also, if I want to project them onto my tv at home so I, not straining my neck as much it doesn’t work very well with AirPlay. After the first video plays the second one I always have to close the app and open again for it to play or screen mirror. ,I reorient is not ok when I want to multi task. I’d recommend them perhaps even making an app adapted for Apple TV.. like osmosis TV

  • Consider low vision Individuals

    I like the app but the lack of larger fonts settings makes it almost impossible to use so I give it 4 stars for now. An update with more font size options and you will earn 5 stars plus a subscriber.
  • Osmosis helped me to excel in classes and on the boards.

    I somehow got into medical school with a below average MCAT score and a below average undergraduate GPA.

    When I started medical school, a friend recommended Osmosis and I never looked back. Osmosis helped me to excel in my classes during the first two pre-clinical years and helped get a 253 on Step 1 - a higher score than I could have ever dreamed of.

    I used all of Osmosis’ recourses - their videos (especially the “high-yield pathology” videos), their spaced-repetition flashcards (an updated version of the famous Brosencephalon deck), and their Step 1 Q bank. The flashcards made all the difference in my ability to retain information over a long period of time and subsequently do well on Step 1.

    Now that I’m beginning my 3rd year, I’m super excited to crack into Osmosis’ clinical videos and their Step 2 Q bank.

    Thank you to team Osmosis for all you do. You’ll always have my highest recommendation.

  • Perfect Board Review

    I was hesitant to start with Osmosis until after I studied and struggled with the content in medical school. Now, I really wish I would have used this along with the content to understand it clearly. With every video, I finally get what my med school content was saying. It’s finally making sense. The videos are short, funny, colorful, thorough, easy to understand, and are graphic with things drawn out in animations, pictures, and drawings. It reminds me of the Khan Academy that I used for the MCAT. But Osmosis is the best times a million. It’s not boring like so many programs. There are accompanying flash cards with a built in program that repeats them based on how much you know them. They get faster and faster. There are also board style questions from each section. This is my main tool to study for boards.

  • Savior for med school!! But app isn’t great

    I love osmosis as a learning platform , has helped me a lot in med school and the way the videos are made really help grasp the information very vividly!

    My only problem is that the app has lots of bugs on my iPhone and iPad , also it doesn’t include all the desktop features so if you can integrate the study schedule , and notes on the app and make it more smooth and less laggy that would turn my 3 starts into 5! So please look into this.

  • Disappointing app, great website

    I love Osmosis. I let the Study Schedule feature plan my day and I just sit back and follow what it tells me to do. Their videos are great introductions to complex systems, which lets you jump right in to Boards and Beyond/Pathoma without feeling lost. I can’t say anything from the qbank, since I use a separate one, and I use Anki for flash cards.

    Unfortunately the app hasn’t gotten the same time as the website has. It is hard to use the study schedule feature, which is what I love the most. Watching a video is also cumbersome. The UI isn’t as clean as the website. At the time of my review, the last update was 6 months ago which isn’t bad for an app that doesn’t really add many features with every iteration, but the Osmosis app could use some polishing.

  • Great videos but the app is full of bugs.

    I love videos and flash cards but the app itself is very glitchy and annoying at times. Please update the app!!!
  • Great app!

    Love it - nice layout, content.
    Is there an option to select practice questions by difficulty level?
  • No High Yield Notes

    The biggest downfall to this app is that you have NO access to the high yield notes if you have a subscription. The desktop version is far more functional and conducive to being in a academic setting for learning. Also, the app does not allow split screen functioning. This is one of the only apps on my iPad that is incompatible with this life saving function.
