We understand your concern about subscription plans. However, they are essential to maintaining and improving the app. Developing and continuously updating a realistic ultrasound simulator involves significant resources—everything from creating new features to expanding content for a better learning experience. We have to pay our employees- are you willing to work for free? The subscription model allows us to provide high-quality, up-to-date educational tools while keeping the app affordable for most users compared to a one-time high cost. We’re committed to offering the best value for your education and are constantly working to add new features and improvements to ensure you get the most out of your subscription. We’d love to hear your thoughts on what you feel would make the app even better! Your input helps us grow and improve for everyone. Thank you for your support, and we hope you’ll continue enjoying the app! Best regards, The Scanbooster Team ### 4/5 — 希望开发中文版 *2023-05-01* 能出一个中文版就好了 ### 1/5 — Worthless *2021-11-16* This app is worthless unless you have the money to spend!!! Don’t get it unless you have enough money!!! This is like the ULTRA lite version of an app…. See what they have to offer but not able to use any of it!!! **Developer response:** Dear LilHELP, We're really sorry to hear you're not fully satisfied with us! Scanbooster is the world's leading ultrasound simulator app - that's why we place such high importance on perfect quality and great learning value. To provide all people with quality sonographic education, we offer our Scanbooster LITE subscription that offers access to ALL physiologic (i.e. healthy) scans for less than the price of a coffee/day. We hope that we were able to help you! Kind regards, Scanbooster Support Team, Peter ### 2/5 — Not raccomanded *2021-10-26, version 2.8.8* Too much expensive for what they give , also if you want see for example the blood vessel in arm and leg is totally insufficient ### 3/5 — Great Concept, But Pricey for Students *2020-11-03, version 2.7.5* I am a sonography student, and I downloaded this app to assist with my scanning skills. I had to purchase the iPhone app ($15.14) to use my phone as a “transducer”, and I purchased the student subscription at $4.86/week. However, I’m not sure what the subscription actually includes, as I only have access to the one free scan case I downloaded (pancreas). When I try to view the liver or gallbladder cases, it prompts me to register for a Pro subscription. This is very disappointing. As a student, I can’t afford the pricier subscriptions, and I didn’t realize until AFTER I purchased the controller app and a week’s subscription that I would have to spend more money to access any other cases. It feels like a bait-and-switch, and the ScanBooster website doesn’t include any FAQs/details about what the subscription levels actually include/exclude. The app itself is a good concept, and it was very helpful for seeing a transverse view of the pancreas; however, I was unable to get any decent longitudinal views of the pancreas head/neck/body/tail. I’m not sure if the app isn’t designed to work in LONG mode, or if the iPad just wasn’t reading my phone’s position properly. Overall, I love the idea of this app, but I’m probably going to cancel my subscription after this week since it doesn’t include access to any of the other abdominal organs I need to practice scanning. I guess I need to keep looking to find tools that are suitable for a student’s budget. UPDATE: I added another star to my review after reading in the developer’s response. I upgraded to a one-month Pro subscription, which means I wasted the money I already paid for the student subscription and controller app. The developer should *really* consider updating the website with more detailed info on pricing and comparisons, so potential customers would have a clearer idea of what is included with each type of subscription vs. purchasing individual cases...it’s not easy trying to figure out what’s included by reading the App Store descriptions. Also, several of the cases I tried downloading with the Pro subscription don’t work...when I click on the downloads, it says: “The volume you’ve just selected is unlabeled and therefore doesn’t contain any structures that could be quizzed. Structures will be added very soon.” So the scans won’t even open. If the product and pricing info was more transparent, and if these unlabeled cases were accessible, I would consider upgrading my review. Also, please consider adding a YouTube video that demonstrates the movements we need to make when setting up the controller app...for example, I’m not sure what is meant by “fanning”. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Herz? *2020-06-08* Wird es demnächst auch noch die Möglichkeit geben, dass Herz mit Pathologien zu schallen? **Developer response:** Lieber Sebseb01 - Vielen Dank für Deine Rezension. Es gibt bereits in der aktuellen Version eine Vielzahl kardialer (fetale) Pathologien. Um diese sehen zu können, update Deine App bitte auf die neueste Version. Adulte kardiale Pathologien sind bereits in Entwicklung und werden bald hinzugefügt (inkl. sich bewegender Simulation / schlagendem Herz). Viele Grüße, Dein Scanbooster Team🚀 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-01-21* Used to be great, this update has made it unusable. Can’t download any of my prior purchases. **Developer response:** Dear Lili Lavellan, we’re really sorry to hear about this. Please contact our support at support@scanbooster.com and let us know what caused the problem. Only this way we can help you get your purchases restored again and evaluate if the cause is fixable with an upcoming update of Scanbooster so other customers don’t experience the same issues. Usually we have great feedback from our customers. They report everything to be working fine. Furthermore we take a long time to test our apps thoroughly and make sure everythingworks correctly. Kind regards, Scanbooster team ### 2/5 — Unsure *2019-12-16* This app is very cool as a learning supplement. However, I made a purchase, and unlocked a bundle. Then I came back an hour later and could no longer access the bundle. The money has already been taken from my bank account. If customer support fixes this issue I will give it more stars for sure. **Developer response:** EDIT: This customer never replied to any of our emails. We tried to help and solve the problems. Multiple attempts to reach this customer resulted without an answer. Dear customer, We have already sent you an email. Please do not worry, your purchase is in no case lost. Just press the „restore purchase“ button in the options menu or in the „free exam“ section on the bottom. Please let us know when your issue is resolved. Kind regards, Scanbooster Support Team ### 1/5 — Stupid and FAKE FAKE FAKE *2019-10-29, version 1.2* Guess my air is pregnant right? Because the second I clicked for the free exam there was a full term baby popping up without even being anywhere near my stomach or anyone else’s. **Developer response:** Dear Doodlebug1469, Of course there ‘pops up a full term baby’ when you use the free exam mode because our app is for educational purposes ONLY. As it’s called Scanbooster ultrasound SIM, it only SIMULATES a sonographic exam. It’s intended for medical students, sonographers, medical doctors and any other MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL who wants to learn both the anatomy of an ultrasound examination and the handling. Our app is NOT intended for expectant mothers trying to play doctors themselves. We will adjust our apps description to clear things up. I hope we were able to help you and clarify things. Kind regards, Scanbooster team ### 1/5 — Scanbooth *2019-08-28* It doesn’t even show your baby this is fake as hell **Developer response:** This app is not intended for you - it’s for medical professionals only. It’s meant to help professionals learn and understand sonography better. Therefore it’s of course NOT fake. ### 1/5 — Not real *2019-08-06* I downloaded this app because I was eager and anxious to see my baby. Turns out this app isn’t real my mom who had a full hysterectomy tried it and it showed the same baby! **Developer response:** Of course it shows the same baby as this is an ultrasound simulation app for medical professionals to LEARN sonography and NOT a entertainment app for pregnant women! ### 1/5 — Absolute rip-off!! *2019-07-24* Anyone buying this program BEWARE!!! It says that it costs $9.98 but I was just charged $24.98 for this app - almost 3 times the cost advertised and the app isn’t that great! Very disappointing and will not be recommending this to fellow academics or students. **Developer response:** Dear Kaiagirl, We’re really sorry to hear about your disappointment. Of course we display all prices for the organs or bundles as they are. Furthermore before a purchase is conducted iOS shows a system message with the exact amount of money that will be demanded. What products did you exactly buy? Please send us an email to support@scanbooster.com so we can fix it. Of course you can get your money back as well. We hope that we can find a solution for you that you’re satisfied with 😊 Kind regards, Scanbooster team ### 1/5 — I am try to use but I don’t understand. *2019-06-21* I like but I am not sure how to use this **Developer response:** Dear Shazia Khan, We’re really sorry to hear You’re experiencing difficulties.

That being said, the way that this app was advertised seemed really good and so I bought this and the one for the phone that would act as the “transducer“. Once I opened both, I realized that the transducer practice was just a very short, small video type thing and the techniques and “scanning“ pieces were videos that were not even synchronizing with my phone to recreate the way it would look. Needless to say sonography school is not cheap And I went to the website to try to find a place to reach out to them to get a refund, but I couldn’t find where to do that which could totally be on me. But I see that they are very active on here responding to reviews so hopefully I hear from them soon! **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and would like to clarify a few points. First and foremost, the app does not consist of mere videos. Your smartphone truly becomes a virtual transducer, fully synchronized in real-time with your tablet, which acts as the virtual ultrasound machine. This setup allows you to simulate a complete ultrasound examination realistically. Many specialties are included: OB/GYN, Internal medicine/POCUS, Urology, Pediatrics, Angiology. All movements are fully supported: Fanning, rotating, rocking, sweeping and sliding. Even loss of contact and compression is simulated. Additionally, the scanning tutorials (Scan Tutorial) are not videos—they allow you to practice realistic probe movements on a virtual patient by physically moving your iPhone through the air. It seems there may have been some misunderstanding about how the app and the virtual transducer work. We are confident that with the proper setup and guidance, you can fully experience the app's potential to simulate ultrasound practice effectively. We’d love to get in touch with you personally and help you use the app to its full potential. As for contacting us: there are several ways to reach out. Both our website and the app itself offer support options. In the app, there is even a dedicated “Contact Support” button in the options that directly connects you to our support team. Or just write us at support@scanbooster.com. We’re here to help and happy to assist with any issues or questions you may have. Please let us know where exactly you encountered challenges. It’s very important to us that you have the best possible learning experience, especially in a field as demanding as sonography. We’d be glad to walk you through the setup or provide further assistance to ensure you can take full advantage of the app’s features. We sincerely hope you’ll give us another chance to address your concerns and perhaps reconsider your rating once everything is working as intended. Thank you for your feedback—it helps us improve every day! Best regards, The Scanbooster Team ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-09-28* Doesn’t have labelled abdominal anatomy, lied to be video. False advertising **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the app did not meet your expectations and would like to address your concerns. First, we’d like to clarify that the app is not a collection of videos. Scanbooster is a fully interactive ultrasound simulation where your smartphone becomes a virtual transducer. It synchronizes in real time with your tablet (or another device) to simulate a realistic ultrasound examination. This allows users to scan a virtual patient, practice probe movements, and refine their skills—something far beyond what videos could offer. Regarding labelled abdominal anatomy: the app includes highly detailed and interactive anatomy models to enhance learning. These can be explored and labeled through various views, making them an excellent tool for understanding anatomy in depth. If you had trouble accessing these features, it’s possible there was a misunderstanding about how to navigate the app. Our support team would be happy to guide you through the app’s functions so you can fully utilize its capabilities. We aim to provide the most comprehensive and realistic ultrasound simulation experience available. If something fell short for you, we’d love the opportunity to make it right. Please let us know how we can assist you further, either via the "Contact Support" button in the app or through our website. We hope this clears up any confusion and encourages you to give the app another try. Thank you for sharing your concerns, as they help us continue to improve! Best regards, The Scanbooster Team ### 1/5 — I hate this app *2023-09-25* OK, so download this app so exciting thing is free and stuff and when I got an app it is $500 week what can I try contacting these people and he didn’t answer me he took all my money and it is a scam so I do not suggest you use this app **Developer response:** Dear josiejp11, We're really sorry to hear you're facing difficulties. However we did NOT receive any email or support enquiry from you. Also we do NOT offer a weekly subscription that is charging $500/week. Please contact us at support@scanbooster.com so we can clarify things. Kind regards, Scanbooster Support Team ### 1/5 — 求中文 *2023-09-20* 求中文 ### 1/5 — you need to pay for everything *2023-05-20, version 3.0.4* no option to try without paying, the iphone app costs seperatly from the computer version. just greedy. ### 1/5 — Bruh *2023-01-21* Everything needs premium ### 1/5 — Scam *2022-12-04, version 2.9.9* Lừa đảo. Hình ảnh siêu âm toàn cài sẵn. ### 1/5 — Took my money and didn’t unlock Pro content *2022-02-20* This looked like it was going to be amazing, so I purchased a 1 month Pro subscription PLUS the subscription to use my iPhone as a probe. But when I went to use the app on my iPad, I couldn’t access any of the pro content. I wrote to customer service asking for help, hoping for a quick response because I have a POCUS exam in a few days, and indeed I did get an immediate email back… saying they’d review my issue in 10 business days. I’m so glad I didn’t go for the full year subscription, which I very nearly did because this app looks so amazing. Really disappointed. I hope this Pro content actually exists and this isn’t a scam. I’ll happily change this review to 5 stars if they fix the problem, but if you’re seeing this 1-star review more than a couple of weeks from now you probably shouldn’t give these folks any of your money **Developer response:** Dear Appsent Regret, Thank you very much for your review! We're sorry to hear you're facing difficulties. To help you solve your problem, we responded to your initial mail already a few hours later (besides our automatic email). Unfortunately, our support wasn't able to reach you multiple times. Please try to restore your purchases via the app's options menu (available from the app's start page on the top left area -> restore purchases button). Please let us know if we were able to help you! Kind regards, Scanbooster Support Team, Peter ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing support app *2023-09-27* Great app with great support team.

I've purchased all the scans, and this was a huge help when I was trying to get the hang of ultrasound. I still use it every now and then to review a scan I haven't done in a while. **Developer response:** Dear alleycatcarlson, Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re always happy when people benefit from our app. We’ll release a major update to our app very soon that comes with many new features (and new scans).

They even have a Facebook page, so I don’t think this App is a scam.. Still waiting for my App to download (very slow) but will leave a review soon as I try it.. **Developer response:** Dear Kris, We’re happy to hear you’re excited. Of course we’re not a scam but a medical ultrasound simulator app built for medical professionals so they can practice scanning anywhere, anytime, and without the need of additional help. Kind regards, Scanbooster team ### 5/5 — Is this real *2019-02-15* Question is this real? ### 5/5 — Very good *2019-01-19* It is a very amazing app for learning ultrasound. But I hope it will have a function of position movement on Ipad alone. I dont have a iphone, have only ipad. **Developer response:** Dear user, Thank you very much for your positive feedback! We're happy to confirm that such a feature has been implemented. Just swipe across the screen during a scan to perform sweeping and sliding movements (translational movements).
