I actually like it a lot better than the other ones. However the biggest flaw are the controls. The are VERY bad. So bad to the point that I can not recommend something like this for students or future students. It’s too much. But I guarantee that once they get those controls working better and the bugs fixed this would be awesome for practice. Hopefully they will update the game and fix the control bugs ### 4/5 — Amazing app but… *2021-11-20, version 1.1.0* This game is amazing, even if I am not a medical professional the app is still great. But recently, ever since I updated to iOS 15 I have not been able to play. When I go into the app, the game loads and it says “Login Complete” and it just keeps loading. Developers, if you are reading this. Please fix this bug because this tool is amazing and it always was so fun to use. ### 3/5 — Not loading the game *2021-11-19, version 1.1.0* It’s a great app I’m loving it but it’s sometimes it got stuck in the login section. Not loading the game. Might be a small glitch but hopefully they will able to fix it. ### 2/5 — Glitch *2021-10-19, version 1.1.0* They won’t let me play the game. it always stays loading and won’t let me play the game. ### 2/5 — Won’t start *2021-09-28, version 1.1.0* I downloaded this and it says logging in but never opens. I deleted and downloaded again and it’s the same. The other apps work great. Why won’t this open? I hope it gets fixed soon. ### 4/5 — Do this *2019-12-14, version 1.0.14* See, all I think this needs is more levels.I completed all the levels . ### 2/5 — Colonoscopy *2019-07-23, version 1.0.12* I am unable to feel what’s going on. Movement is exaggerated ### 5/5 — Love it! *2019-06-13, version 1.0.12* After deciding to become an airline pilot rather than attending medical school, this fun app lets me live out my alter ego fantasy. Highly recommend! ### 2/5 — Update *2019-05-06, version 1.0.11* Needs pediatric cases Needs updated equipment for the scopes we use today Needs the appropriate lighting etc Needs ability to perform water perfusion Happy to help you design ### 5/5 — Love it! *2019-05-05, version 1.0.11* This is a great app!!! ### 5/5 — Pretty epic *2019-05-01, version 1.0.11* I’m only 13, but I’d say it’s real epic. I’d even take a break from Fortnite to play this. And that’s a big deal. The graphics are amazing, and co ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Invasive *2023-03-08, version 1.2.1* I installed this app and days later my Apple ID is compromised and there were multiple sign in attempts n Hong Kong. Never had any issues like this before the download. Could be coincidence, but I don’t believe in coincidences of this nature. ### 1/5 — I wish I could play it *2021-10-08, version 1.1.0* Can’t get pass the login screen. ### 1/5 — the login. *2021-10-06, version 1.1.0* t hasn’t opened I have tried the other games and they’re great but this one won’t open.

Deleted it before it causes irreparable damage as other reviews have mentioned ### 1/5 — How to delete account. *2019-05-31, version 1.0.12* I literally can't find any way to delete my account. Help?! ### 1/5 — Temp Problems *2019-04-17, version 1.0.11* At first this was a good game but not even a minute in my phone battery decrease in a matter of seconds. Then (The issue most people have) my phone started to thermal throttle which means my phone temp increased. Not recommended in your phone doesn’t have external cooling ### 1/5 — Good Game But Needs Fixing ASAP ✌🏽 *2019-03-12, version 1.0.11* I would have gave the game more than 1 star but I only just started playing it for like 3 mins and my phone started overheating. I have an iPhone 6s and my phone is in very good condition new battery and everything, my phone shouldn’t be overheating and acting up while playing a game that I was interested in , No I’m not a medical student, or doctor or anything like that, but I like games and interested in games that has to do with virtual surgery so until y’all fixed this problem I won’t be playing it and it’s getting uninstalled from phone. Update 3/12/19 almost a year later Why should I have to close the game app every 15 mins in order for my phone not to heat up that makes no sense I won’t be playing this game ever again btw I have the iPhone XR now and I’m still having this heating up problem. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Why did I play this as a kid *2024-01-03* I bought it back in 2017 after Surgeon Simulator didn’t fix the itch, low and behold 5 years later it appears in the recommended next to surgeon simulator. It’s a good educational tool but I didn’t need to know how to do this procedure as a child but in an emergency i’m pretty sure I could pull it off, that is saying nothing goes awry and it’s exactly like this app says. ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-12-26* Love these games so much! super realistic. i hope more games are made. played pulm ex and now gastro ex. hopefully some more! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-03-07* I really like this game, it’s extremely educational and helps students learn more in detailed. I am not becoming a surgeon or any gastro field I was able to get 3 stars on almost all of the levels. I really enjoyed learning about a field I am not in and see from the perspective of a gastroenterologist and a student. Anyone who wants to learn more about their field or just want to try this game out. I highly recommend this educational game. ### 5/5 — Fix *2021-10-29, version 1.1.0* Very good but I will not load ### 5/5 — Realistic and user-friendly *2020-10-27* This game is amazingly realistic and fun! I am not a gastroenterologist, but I am in the medical field. This is probably the easiest of the series of these games, but it’s still highly entertaining and educational! I just wish there were more simulations!!! Please add more!! ### 5/5 — love this app *2019-08-03, version 1.0.12* This app is amazing💞 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-08-02* this app i would totally recommend because it teaches you a lot and it lets you experience the feel of a real life surgery ### 5/5 — Medical knowledge only🧬 *2019-06-25* Because i am a nursing student is the only way i had any idea what i was looking at. This is definitely more of a “study” or “practice app rather than a game. Graphics are amazing!!! I was so disappointed with how short it was though😭 I wish i could play this for days and days and days ### 5/5 — More cases ?!?! *2019-06-25, version 1.0.12* It’s amazing I just need more cases I finished all three .... will there be more it’s s addicting ### 5/5 — Very intuitive Game *2019-06-24, version 1.0.12* I enjoyed playing this medical game because I have had similar procedures done on me --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
