No Sound

No sound on iPhone I don’t know if iOS 15 is not supported yet or there is app problem

Another piece of pro-manipulation trash

While this app isn’t as abhorrent as the “HPV: Same Day, Same Way” app, it still encourages health providers to use manipulation strategies instead of just fostering a real and genuine, honest conversation.

Won’t work

The first overview won’t even open, asking me to connect to the internet. It is connected but the app keeps shutting down. Not satisfied.

Extremely useful simulation app

I first saw this app used in a counseling class and decided to download it because the simulations are extremely useful. I am studying to work in healthcare and I have seen way to many ineffective counselors who are trying to promote change. I didn’t want that to become me so I’m glad there are interactive resources out there like this app.

Cannot connect to internet

Seems really useful HOWEVER I cannot even access the first lesson/overview. Keeps telling me that it “cannot connect to internet” and does not work even with cellular data.
