Clinical Sense is a free app. Please note our free apps have a limited selection of content only. Our full library, including more new and updated content, is available in a for-pay product: Clinical Odyssey. Please visit https://clinicalodyssey.com/ to learn more. Keep playing & learning! ### 4/5 — Not as scary as before. *2021-12-25, version 3.1.3* When I first picked up this game on android years ago, it had scary bad endings and such uncertainty for a medical noob such as I that I often bailed on some scenarios, afraid that I’ll get emotionally hurt again by someone figuratively screaming in my face. Now, it’s not so bad. Idk if it was my review on the google play store that made this change, but some of the bad endings have been dumbed down and just feel different. On another note, I’ve yet to see the return of “tummy trouble” in English. I remember going far into the give medications route before backing out, but in the foreign version it just cuts to the bad ending of “see me in my office Por favor” So did tummy trouble get bugged in the English version? Or was the original bad ending for giving medications instead of draining the abscess much worse? Thanks for the app, Andrew Hood. ### 4/5 — Scenarios not always in line with recommendations *2021-05-06* It’s a great little Ap to catch a quick review, but be cautious as some of the treatments in the scenarios are not in line with current recommendations. For example, the scenario with cat scratch disease (Bartonella) recommended withholding antibiotics despite the patient having over a week of fever and lymphadenopathy. The scenario also recommended a lymph node biopsy with PCR testing to confirm the diagnosis despite a very clear history. The research on antibiotics vs no antibiotics is pretty clear and the expert consensus is that any patient with a clear history and lymphadenopathy be treated with azithromycin. The consensus is that lymph node biopsy should be reserved for cases that do not respond to appropriate antibiotics. UpToDate has a great review of cat scratch disease. **Developer response:** Hi soldierDoc2, we are glad you enjoyed the app. Thank you for sharing your recommendations re: the cat scratch disease scenario—I have passed them on to our editorial team. Please note: our editors keep updating our scenarios to be in line with the latest reviews and clinical guidelines. Unfortunately, the vast breadth of our catalogue (700+ learning modules across multiple apps) means that this takes time. We hope you continue to enjoy our apps! ### 4/5 — Thank you *2021-04-11* It is such a user-friendly program. I like it. **Developer response:** Hi Shghba, that's great to hear.

Regards! ### 3/5 — Add more pain scenarios *2019-07-02* I wrote this a little ago “Please add more pain related scenarios, I want to be a pain medicine doctor. So please add some where you can prescribe opioids and other non opioid painkillers I’d really like that.” You guys said you would but haven’t I’m kinda of disappointed, that’s why I won’t be giving it a 5 star but other than that it’s a really good game and teaches you a lot. **Developer response:** Dear user! Sorry you feel this way. Indeed, we forwarded your request, as promised. However, it is up to our writers to decide what they want to write about (and, of course, availability of the appropriate peer reviewers). Therefore, we cannot commit to any requested subject unfortunately. Sorry we can't be of more help. Regards! ### 5/5 — Amazing new innovative way to study *2019-06-26, version 3.0.0* As a medical student using the app it actually feels like you are on placement dealing with real cases, very fun and educational well done to developers!! ### 5/5 — Entertainment *2019-06-25* The consequences you face when you select a real time response are cleaver. I like how I can retry to select the correct modalities and diagnosis after I witness what happens when I made the wrong choice. Plus it looks up to date, so I can share this with my school and not worry about it. **Developer response:** Thank you, HandsomeStallion! We are pleased to know that you enjoy the app. If there are specific scenarios that you’d like to see, please feel free to write to us at: penelope@medicaljoyworks.com. Hope you’ll continue enjoying our apps. Regards! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Loved it for years, but now crashes on iPad *2018-07-11, version 1.1.2* [Update: changing my rating to one star as there’s been no progress on this issue for months.App crashes 100% on my iPad Pro within seconds of launching.I had a friend with an iPhone 7 try it and it crashes too after a few pages into a scenario.] Great game, although new scenarios are sometimes slow to arrive. But the crashing soon after launch which stated happening within the last month makes it unplayable. Please, please fix. ### 1/5 — Unstable build *2018-05-25, version 1.1.2* This app was referred to me by a friend using an android device. The premise is great but the app consistently crashes on my iPhoneX running iOS 11.3.1 ### 1/5 — Crashes repeatedly *2018-04-21, version 1.1.2* Great learning tool. Please fix crashing bug. ### 1/5 — Needs Update; Too long *2017-12-30, version 1.1.2* First, this app needs to be updated so it can work with updated devices instead of having to turning off the phone to get it to stop. However, the app itself is quite long with the stories! I do think that it’s good to have a way to show a physician interacting with patients and not just running in and out. But realistically, one gets to the main point and then moves on. I much prefer the Prognosis app, which gives you the info such as medical history, current complaint, and vital signs, etc., which is more like what you’d do at a real appointment. Then you can still make decisions about tests, meds, surgery, or whatever. It has a lot of information about the different diagnoses as well, and discussions at the end sometimes. Hopefully, this will change some, will be updated, and maybe I’ll try it again. Try the Prognosis apps if you haven’t! ### 1/5 — Unable to play *2014-05-16* Just downloaded this app, excited to play but i'm not able to download the scenarios. It's always sending out a message to check my internet connection!?! Pls fix it! Thanks. After the update, still unable to download the scenarios :( ### 2/5 — RN *2020-01-12, version 3.1.2* Unable to choose “yes” for treatment!! ### 2/5 — Crashes right away *2018-10-02, version 1.1.2* This seems like it’s a great app with interesting cases but I haven’t been able to go through any of them because the app crashes right away. I’d love for the app to be updated! ### 2/5 — This app seemed really interesting till it stopped working. *2018-06-14, version 1.1.2* I made it about 2 minutes into the first scenario before the app went black and I was forced back to the home screen. Now, every time I try to open it it does the same thing after about 10 seconds. Please update this so it works! ### 2/5 — Great but... *2017-02-14, version 1.1.2* Started off great. But now I can barely keep it open! It keeps crashing on me and can't check the new cases. Please help. This has been truly helpful! ### 3/5 — So hard *2023-02-10* It’s really interesting but it’s so hard because of all the long scientific research and words **Developer response:** Hi Mundhz, thank you for your review. We're glad that you find our app is interesting.

Really enjoying this app, it’s three in one - study-related, game-adjacent in a way that feels suspenseful and engaging, plus it is well written narratively - the stories are warm and human-feeling gentle enough in being about learning for next time whilst being realistic about consequences of gaps in knowledge, lack of vigilance or poor judgement - loads of nostalgia of choose your own adventure books. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2023-07-08* Really this is an amazing app and very educational informative and extremely scientific and very uptodate **Developer response:** Hello Hmaher, that's great to hear. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful feedback. We're pleased to hear that you find our app is educational and useful. Please note our free apps have a limited selection of content only.

I’m an aspiring doctor and I have learned so much from this app. It’s the best medical app I’ve downloaded. This app makes learning fun and exciting plus it’s realistic. I love everything about this app. I also love that it is kept updated. They come out with new cases weekly. Sometimes it’s even a couple times a week. I have no complaints. I love all medical joyworks apps including Prognosis. These apps were very well done and I never get old playing them. I’ve had both apps for years now. Thank you for such amazing apps! **Developer response:** Hi Nickshdjdkdjkandnn, thank you so much for taking the time out to share your wonderful thoughts with us.

Also, the scenarios are concise with a thorough rationale that’s right to the point. **Developer response:** Hello app user, Thank you for your wonderful review.

Regards! ### 5/5 — Britt wise *2020-09-26, version 3.1.3* Love it. Maybe add more psychiatrist medicine ### 5/5 — unique and helpful app *2020-08-31* This app takes you step-by-step through various patient encounters almost like a game, which is a fun change-up from just reading. When simply reading about a topic, it’s hard to retain everything. There’s also a difference between understanding the material and knowing exactly how to put it into practice. This app help you learn the material AND grasp how to apply it in clinical settings. They already show lab results, but I haven’t seen imaging results, and that would be helpful. Other nice additions would be more questions about what the differential diagnosis is and what history questions and physical exam components you’d add. Basically, more questions would help me think even more critically through the process. Thanks for a fun, helpful app! **Developer response:** Hello J.K. Rob, Thank you for your wonderful and encouraging feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. I've already forwarded your suggestion to our development team for their attention. Over the last few months we’ve been removing scenarios and updating them to ensure their quality and relevance. However, now all our apps are available as a single product: Clinical Odyssey, please visit https://www.medicaljoyworks.com/ to find out more. Hope you'll continue enjoying our products. Regards! ### 5/5 — The best app for medical students *2020-07-18* This app is a boon in quarantine. I’m a third year MBBS, amidst this lockdown I’m losing the clinical approach and attitude I developed in the clinical postings in medical college. But with this app I’m so happy I’m learning continuously. **Developer response:** Hi medpassioin mritunjay, Thanks for your review. We're pleased that our app is useful to you. Keep playing more scenarios and enjoy! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
