All of the other info is great. Sometimes I need to solidify a concept by watching it performed. Maybe I’m doing something wrong… ### 2/5 — Video not playing *2022-06-28, version 2.5* I can not get videos or iBook to come up in my iPhone. ### 3/5 — Great resource but…. *2022-06-15, version 2.5* Frustrating that videos do not open on iPad or iPhone. ### 3/5 — Update Please *2022-06-11, version 2.5* Loved the number of topics covered. However the videos don’t work at all!! Please fix this. I would love to see and hear the videos. ### 2/5 — Outdated *2021-08-16, version 2.5* The app is a relatively good companion for the course but lacks many essential functional features. It's not designed do the hybrid course through it and one has to switch between the web, the app, and the handout all the time. ### 2/5 — No audio *2020-12-17, version 2.5* I have no audio trying to watch the just in time videos. ### 2/5 — My atls comments *2020-10-28, version 2.5* Audio does not work in the videos. Update yo the 10th edition! ### 2/5 — Needs updating *2020-08-25, version 2.4* Please you really should not bring out a new edition of the book unless you are going to appropriately support it. Update the app along with the book. Don’t make reference in the book to the app. Also some of the functions in the app do not work. Please update your app. ### 3/5 — Videos need sound..... *2020-01-15, version 2.4* No audio? Really? ### 3/5 — This is 9e and the current book is 10e *2019-12-22, version 2.4* The app need an update ### 3/5 — No sound *2019-12-08, version 2.4* No sound periodically. Frozen screen, I had restart iPad. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2019-11-21, version 2.4* Needs 10th edition materials. Some chapters with only general info ### 1/5 — App. Reds updating *2019-11-09, version 2.4* This is the old 9th edition. Newest edition is the 10th. App crashes continually. Very poorly constructed. ### 3/5 — Bugs in the system *2019-10-02, version 2.4* Using nerve myotones crashes the system, plus the audio in the videos does not work. Information and app needs to be updated. ### 1/5 — PA-C *2019-09-25, version 2.4* The sound for videos does not work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Videos do not load *2023-01-23, version 2.5* Videos do not load. ### 1/5 — Videos don’t work *2023-01-09, version 2.5* I couldn’t get the videos to work on this app (which are the most important part) after all kinds of troubleshooting. So infuriating! ### 1/5 — Videos don’t work *2022-08-03, version 2.5* Paid 10 dollars for the content, mostly for the skill videos and they don’t work. Wont even open. Want my money back. ### 1/5 — Videos and other features stopped working *2022-07-16, version 2.5* I assume apple mad an ios change and the app didn't update to work properly. When you pay for an app you want it to work especially whwn it is to build your knowledge to save lives. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2022-06-23, version 2.5* I can’t see any videos ### 1/5 — Videos not working *2022-06-21, version 2.5* Tried on both safari and google chrome. Please fix the app. ### 1/5 — This is a joke *2021-04-22, version 2.5* Level of detail is awful, consumer grade garbage. This is not a professional resource. ### 1/5 — Struggling with this not friendly app. *2021-03-03, version 2.5* This is NOT the friend I would call in a trauma! ### 1/5 — App with significant flaws *2019-12-02, version 2.4* Would not recommend its use during acute resucitation Dynamic text and graphics do not accommodate to phones. Continues to crash out when consulting tables on different chapters. Example fundal height during evaluation of pregnant women ### 1/5 — Shame on you! *2019-12-02, version 2.4* You haven't released an update in two years?! This is lack of commitment to the consumer. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great for us non surgeons *2021-03-03, version 2.5* I’ve been certified in ATLS since ‘93 or so, and this tool makes it easier to keep up with the content that I do not practice every day. I work on sidelines of sporting events where trauma might occur, so I feel very confident that a could handle any situation. PM&R doc ### 5/5 — Great *2019-09-13, version 2.4* Great tool for using before and after taking the training ### 5/5 — Surgeon *2019-08-24, version 2.4* Excellent demonstrations. This is the the 7th or 8th time I have taken this course. This is the best improvement in teaching that I have seen in this course over the years. Thanks ### 5/5 — Ps update *2019-02-02, version 2.4* Ps update to 10th edition. Farukh Khan ATLS instructor ### 5/5 — Update *2018-10-11, version 2.4* Update App for iPhone XS max please!! ### 5/5 — Amazingly helpful *2017-04-29, version 2.1* This has been an amazingly helpful app. A definite bonus to have and be able to utilize when you really need it. Much easier to have around than the paper textbook. So glad that they finally came out with this app. ### 5/5 — Excellent review and study guide *2016-01-20, version 2.1* I have found this app to be an invaluable study companion and guide as I work my way though the text in preparation for the course. Having a second source which re emphasizes the salient points in the text is wonderful. I am now thinking that this should be done with the ACLS. ### 4/5 — Chicago ATLS forgets Critical Access Hospitals *2021-12-21, version 2.5* The Chicago course kept forgetting that rural and critical access hospitals don’t have on call specialists or surgeons. They focused the class on large facilities with resources “Call down your Pediatric Neurosurgeon right away”. We don’t have a Pediatric Trauma surgeon or an upstairs to call them down from. I liked the courses that were further away and remembered the purpose of ATLS. ### 4/5 — Good reference , has quality videos *2021-03-22, version 2.5* The app provides GCS AND BURN BODY SURFACE AREA calculator ### 4/5 — Good but behind *2019-10-01, version 2.4* Helpful app but should be updated promptly to the latest course edition --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
