Only have amazing and effective experiences with it 👌🏼 ### 5/5 — Simply amazing! *2019-02-13, version 4.5.5* Thumbroll is simply amazing. Legit and beyond helpful. Quick, simple and reliable, just like the slogan. Extremely effective app, highly recommend! ### 5/5 — On par with UpToDate *2018-08-28, version 4.5.2* My only regret is not having this app sooner in my medical training. Currently at a large academic center and will absolutely recommend this to all my residents and students ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-08-09, version 4.5.1* Thumbroll is kind of like visual flashcards. Before seeing a patient, I grab my phone, scroll through it and am ready to go ### 5/5 — Useful study app *2018-07-19, version 4.5* I highly recommend this app! The photos are great and easier to study than video. It’s also impressive that the content comes from Wash U in St. Louis. Looking forward to what they’ll add in the future. ### 5/5 — AMAZING FOR MED STUDENTS *2018-07-19, version 4.5* Perfect for med students! So easy to use! Will definitely share this with others! ### 5/5 — Effective for medical trainees *2018-07-18, version 4.5* Content: Good range of skills/procedures. High quality images. Concise yet thorough text. Reputable sources. Impressive universities and programs for content. Format: Concept of the roller is interesting - allows trainees to see content at his/her own speed. Smart that the focal point of the procedure stays static - really allows you to see/analyze the one thing that's happening. Overall Conclusion: Quick and simple. Effective training app for medical students and residents (now mostly for interns until the procedures get more advanced). Good when you're on the go. Great supplement to other resources. Fantastic that it's available for free. Rating: 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-07-18, version 4.5* Some of my colleagues were using this app and told me I had to download it. Excellent platform, easy to use, clean design, and very effective. Thumbroll is perfect for a quick review. I would highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Great :) *2018-07-17, version 4.5* Nice to use when I’m crunched for time. ### 5/5 — PHENOMENAL app! *2018-07-17, version 4.5* I really like how detailed each procedure is. There are a lot of photos to clearly show each step. Vastly useful resource! ### 5/5 — 100% recommend *2018-07-14, version 4.5* Would love to see even more procedures. This is awesome! ### 5/5 — Incredible!! *2018-07-10, version 4.5* Pretty incredible that this exists. I’m a med student and it has proven really helpful. It’s nice to get the individual photos as well as the description. ### 5/5 — Essential! *2018-07-04, version 4.5* I use thumbroll all the time. I like that I can scroll through it at my own pace and can stop and study the images with the annotations. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2018-07-03, version 4.5* As residents, we don’t have much time and for me, it’s hard to watch videos because they’re long, there’s sound so I need headphones, etc. Thumbroll is quick and I can review everything in meetings (since it’s quiet). ### 5/5 — Quick and easy for review! *2018-07-03, version 4.5* I use thumbroll when I need to quickly review procedures. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Thumbroll *2024-01-31, version 5.5.2* While trying to open, it send a valid email. My email was Same as this app was functioning well. Please solve this malfunction. Thanks ### 1/5 — Downgraded from a 5* app… *2023-11-22, version 5.5.2* Non-functional. I used to recommend this app to everyone because it was so incredibly helpful as a refresher before procedures (I’m a current resident) - now, despite logging in, I’m unable to use the app at all because it continuously forces the default login page to pop up. Logging in again doesn’t fix it. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. So sad. ### 1/5 — [Do not download] Was a great tool, has not been updated by developers *2022-02-10, version 5.5.2* It appears they’ve stopped making updates to the app. It was an amazing tool for learning about and visualizing certain procedures but I’m afraid it’s offline. Do not download. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-09-08, version 5.5.2* I tried using the app for work I am a surgical technician and felt this would be good to use. I went through 1 module and after that I could not go through any more. ### 1/5 — Log in problem *2020-05-14, version 5.5.2* I cannot log in either by my username or via Facebook i reset my password but still the problem isn't resolving ### 5/5 — Best procedure app *2026-07-08, version 5.5.2* Single most useful app for any procedural provider or training. ### 5/5 — Perfect learning tool *2019-11-18, version 5.2* As a nursing student and a visual learner I love the number of demos available in this app. ### 5/5 — Super useful, highly recommend *2019-08-15, version 5.2* Useful especially for rotations and as an intern. Quickly pull it out, take a look, and you’re good to go ### 5/5 — Sleek and informative *2019-04-13, version 5.0* Solid UI - love being able to bookmark modules! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-04-10* Very user-friendly! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dr. Abraham *2019-03-14, version 4.5.5* As a healthcare professional, I can’t speak highly enough about this groundbreaking app! It’s been a game changer for learning myself, refreshing my skills, and for teaching purposes alike. Considering visual learning is really the best way to learn period, this application is similar to one on one skilled tutoring on call. If only we had this years ago instead of inefficient textbooks and static images... It is also well vetted and produced by top medical professionals at top institutions so you know you can trust the content. Enjoy! ### 5/5 — Ingenious *2019-03-13, version 4.5.5* Excellent app that contains very simple, easy-to-follow diagrams / graphic illustrations. Highly recommend this app for any medical provider. ### 5/5 — Incredible App *2019-02-25, version 4.5.5* This app has helped me so much with med school!! It provides such detailed explanations. Awesome app! ### 5/5 — Great *2019-02-25, version 4.5.5* Thumbroll is a very useful app with a plethora of modules coupled with a very intuitive interface. ### 5/5 — Simple and elegant *2019-02-23, version 4.5.5* Really helpful, straight-forward, and user-friendly! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
