### 1/5 — Overpriced Rip Off with low resolution content

*2021-01-26, version 3.8.3*

So you pay $25 for the program ad then they want to sting you another $15 for the video content......nearly gave me a heart attack (pardon the pun)

PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM 3D4MEDICAL

Cheaper better options available

### 5/5 — Superbe

*2020-04-30, version 3.8.3*

Animations très utile pour l’enseignement

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-02-23, version 3.8.3*

All it is is a 3D model of the heart... that’s it and it costs 10 pounds. Don’t waste your money

### 1/5 — Taking your money &Run

*2017-12-21, version 3.8.3*

Really not professional or honest, I purchased the app then the videos inside the app, then later they stop supporting it & create new one asking you to pay again. This is fraud, where’s Apple store from this behavior?

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2017-11-18, version 3.8.2*

No way is this worth $1 let alone $10. I was tricked into buying it thinking it would integrate into the newer program from these developers. This app is obviously on the way out and I wasted $20 (for a bundle of 4) for essentially obsolete apps. I will now ask for my money back. Ripoff. And of course, apple doesn’t let you look for the “most recent” review or even sort by # of stars, obviously in collusion with the app developers to obfuscate how good apps are...starting to really dislike apple (RIP Steve Jobs)

### 1/5 — Absolute trash

*2017-07-08, version 3.8*

Every single app I have purchased from 3D4Medical has been garbage and this one is no exception. I can't get a single thing to load and I am constantly getting error messages saying that the app is no longer compatible with my iOS version. What am I supposed to do, revert my iPad back to iOS 7 so that I can use these apps? I have tried deleting and re downloading but that doesn't help either. Total waste of money, I would not recommend anything from this developer and I will be leaving a similar review on every single app that I have purchased from them.

### 2/5 — Needs to be updated

*2017-05-22, version 3.8*

Overpriced for something that is not supported long term. Buy a book instead.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2016-08-06, version 3.8*

I use this app to demonstrate the procedures to our patients. Everything is clearer to them, and their family members when things are explained AND drawn for them. Their learning is enhanced. I spend less time re-explaining. One of the jewels of doing this, and drawing the bypasses,  is that I can text the drawings to any family member present. They then, can and often do, explain the procedure to others. It's a win win!

### 5/5 — Why I like it

*2016-07-22, version 3.8*

OK, it isn't free, but I have found in like you generally get what you pay for. Sure it costs a few bucks, and to get the full features, you pay a little more, but the look on my patient's face when they FINALLY understand is utterly priceless.....

### 3/5 — Need more videos

*2016-07-04, version 3.8*

It pained me after paying $20 for the package, having to pay $10 for the related videos. I needed them so I bought them. My only concern is that there's a few more videos that should be on there. Please look into this. If it's a heart app. Look into as many diseases associated with the heart and post. I think for the money spent, more videos should be present.
