## Most critical reviews (4 lowest-rated)

### 4/5 — This app is great!

*2022-07-07*

Connects easily, LOVE the adult/pediatric/infant settings!

Would it be possible to have a setting that over-rides the phone’s autolock/screen dimming while in use?

### 4/5 — Shocking my world

*2016-04-23*

So glad to see this app. Very easy to use. Allows great control of the ShockLink device. Like the built in time that lets you see how long you have been running that training session. I have a much better chance of keeping up with my phone than a separate small remote. Good job guys!!!

**Developer response:** We appreciate the feedback!

### 4/5 — Good app. Works well with shocklink. (1 flaw that Laerdal need to address)

*2016-04-17*

Good app, and great product (shocklink). 
Appears to be little difference between the app and The remote that comes with shocklink except the remote appears to require LOS (line of sight) where the app hooks up via Bluetooth. 

Personally I'd prefer Bluetooth as it allows the instructor to remain outside the student zone and maintain a higher level of fidelity of a scenario.
(With the product remote of often had to step in to move the control box so the remote can get LOS with it to allow it to work).

So I do prefer the app to the remote control... The only negative of the app is whilst your debriefing post scenario I've found my mobile device drops its link with the control box and you have to close and reopen software to get it to re-connect (the 'swipe down' instruction to connect does not work). 

I'm sure Laerdal will get it sorted very quickly though...

**Developer response:** Have you had a chance to try the latest version 1.1.7 and update the Shocklink firmware?  If the issue persists on that version, please send your device model and iOS version to AppFeedback@laerdal.com so we can work with you to resolve the issue.

### 5/5 — The Best App Ever

*2016-04-26*

I would have to say that Laerdal hit a home run with this one. Works better than the remote that come with the kit!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback!
