## What is SimsUshare?

Rapidly create Fire, emergency, and safety training simulations in the classroom and field with SimsUshare!

SimsUshare is the first mobile app in the world that lets you take your own photos and enhance them with sequenced animations such as smoke, fire, and explosions, or other simulated effects, to make realistic simulations for training or pre-planning potential emergency incidents. Create and edit up to five (5) simulations stored in the program, or enter your enterprise license to capture more simulations, and in the future, sync your sims across all SimsUshare platforms.

This tool is for emergency responders, safety instructors, and disaster-response/business-continuity planners who want an effective way to incorporate simulations based on local hazards and situations. One can exchange the simulations with colleagues who also have SimsUshare for other platforms.

As our slogan goes, now you can 'set your world on fire', but obviously in a safe and responsible manner.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-12-03*

You can’t do anything on it.

### 1/5 — Selten eine so schlechte App gesehen

*2022-05-17*

Hilfe! Ich möchte mein Geld zurück.

Selbst wenn diese App umsonst wäre würde ich sie nicht nutzen. Die Bildqualität ist so schlecht ich hatte gleich ein Nostalgiegefühl und musste an die guten alten 56k Modem Zeiten denken!

### 3/5 — Great idea

*2021-12-04*

Only downfall is number of simulations you can save (5). Figured you would get more. Matt E.

### 2/5 — Gut gedacht, stark verbesserungsfähig

*2021-02-09*

Die Möglichkeiten, Rauch, Feuer etc. einzublenden ist wirklich gut gelungen! 
Was aber gar nicht geht ist die Auflösung bei Bildern. Die ist so unterirdisch obwohl ein hochauflösendes Foto eingespielt wurde. 
Deshalb nur 2 von 5

### 2/5 — Good Idea!  Terrible image quality

*2019-05-11*

Good idea but image quality isn’t the greatest on my iPhone X. Images tend to be a little blurry and app seems outdated.  Unfortunately a waste of $10 for me.

**Developer response:** hi, sorry to hear about your unhappiness with the image quality. Can you contact support to see if we can help? If not, we would be happy to issue a refund.

### 4/5 — SimsUshare

*2019-02-07*

The only problem I have with it is that I wish you could use it on a pc other than that it a great tool to have

### 4/5 — Nice app......

*2018-10-25*

Not a bad app.  Easy to use and create a quick scenario.  Don’t forget to use the Masking ability located in “utility” to mask out portions to make it more realistic.

### 5/5 — Great for creating sims quickly

*2017-01-08*

Easy way to create sims from photos. Good variety of effects. Basic version limited to editing 3 sims but if I want more I can download onto my computer and then delete. Great customer support I think bad reviews are from people who have not tried to reach developer.

### 1/5 — Don't buy this app!!!

*2016-08-25*

For $10 you get 3, yes 3, scenes to create. This is a joke. I want my money back.

**Developer response:** Hi GeeEss, we hear you that you expected something differently -- though it is stated in our Product Description that you can store at most 3 sims at once, and you can remove any of those to make room for others.

However, if you had a complaint, or wanted your money back, why haven't you EVER contacted us to ask? Would it surprise you to hear we have given refunds to the few people who have actually contacted us with that request? Contact us (even now!) and give us a fair chance to solve the problem.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2016-01-20*

What a waste of money! Limited to 3 sims and have to pay more for an enterprise version.

**Developer response:** Dear FFMEDIC322, sorry to hear you feel SimsUshare is a waste of money. We are disappointed that you felt it was easier to trash our product than reach out to us to see if we could rectify the situation. Of course we know you DID NOT reach out to us, because we would refund any purchase for customers who are disappointed. If you want to give us a chance (we assume you want to be fair), contact us and then decide if you feel your review is fair.
