### 4/5 — Awesome

*2025-12-21, version 7.66.0*

This app is great for anyone wanting to learn surgery except most are 3d animations of the surgery’s instead of real life clips.

### 4/5 — Very good

*2023-10-24*

I feel this app could be made better by having more procedures from different specialities. This will give students in all aspects of healthcare a better understanding in order to be the best practitioners possible.

### 2/5 — On pump procedures!

*2023-06-08, version 7.17*

We need some procedures on Cardiopulmonary Bypass! That would be nice!!  It really would!

### 5/5 — Unbelievable app

*2023-03-29, version 7.12*

So amazing for nice relaxing review as a medical student

### 2/5 — The grossest I’ve ever seen!

*2023-03-03, version 7.11*

This app includes the violent content that is surgical and made kids feel broken!

### 5/5 — 👍👌

*2022-11-18*

Very helpful

### 5/5 — DOWNLOAD THIS!

*2022-11-07*

I am a 3rd year IM resident who loves procedures and crit care. This app is by far the best app I’ve ever come across throughout my education… ever… from undergrad until now. Every time of resident, med student, and fellow could use this app (and attendings needing refreshers). Great for PAs/NPs who do a lot of procedures or ones in school. It has something for every specialty too, step by step, with 3D moving images to facilitate better recall and understanding. I make all my interns download this and watch the video before discussing with them and before letting them do one.

### 5/5 — New blue hurts the eyes

*2022-09-25*

I adore this app and talk about it often - but why the colour change? The new blue hurts to look at :(

### 5/5 — Amazing educational experience

*2022-09-09*

Goes above and beyond to satisfy demand for free education and provides a unique education in medical education.

### 5/5 — Blew my mind

*2022-08-19, version 6.68*

Got this game as a joke to mess around with and ended up learning more than the sims we had done in my 16 years of med school/residency. Fantastic!

### 5/5 — Love this app so much!

*2022-08-11*

I am in no way a medical professional but I really want to be and this is the perfect app for an aspiring surgeon or med student. Very detailed and descriptive. Things I might suggest for developers would be adding more surgeries to specific specialities because some have very few. As well as possibly adding something like a dictionary for beginners (as things like google are not always reliable). And offline support would also be really handy for me and lots of other people. Overall best surgical app I’ve used. It’s good to strike down boredom with something that’s actually fulfilling. 10/10 would recommend this game!! 👍

### 4/5 — Good app but a few things that they could work on

*2022-06-08*

I really enjoy playing on this app. They have surgeries that you can preform. There are a lot of specialties that you can do surgeries for. But for those of you who want to be a ophthalmologist like me I will warn you, they only have 2 surgeries. To the developers: I would love it if you would add more eye surgeries. I am studying to be a pediatric ophthalmologist. So please add more pediatric eye surgeries. For example strabismus surgeries, glaucoma surgeries, and other surgeries. Thanks

### 5/5 — Excellent application

*2022-05-23*

This app is one of the best for me. Learning surgical procedure and approaches from this is invaluable as well as my pleasure. Many thanks for your permission of free assess. This can guide me how to approach a patient safely. Giving 5 stars to your app is my appreciation. With regard ❤️

### 4/5 — Ok

*2022-05-14, version 6.62*

### 1/5 — Bad app😡😡

*2024-07-19, version 7.38*

So when I opened the app it said to sign in and it has the option to Sign in with Apple and then it just did nothing very disappointing

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-04-18, version 7.14*

Tried on iPad Pro doesn’t work

### 1/5 — App crashes 100% of the time

*2022-05-26, version 6.63*

This app WAS awesome. However, all it does is crash now when I login. I hope they fix this soon because I loved to use the app!

### 1/5 — Crashes every time I log in

*2022-04-08*

Every time I try to log into my account the whole app crashes

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry this is happening to you. You can fix this by deleting and re-installing the application. The most common cause of this is the database in the app getting into a bad state. This is a common problem if you don't have much spare storage space left on your device. We are working on removing our database for a simpler, more stable storage solution. If you encounter any further issues, please email  rs.dsiossupport@medtronic.com and we will get back to you.

### 1/5 — Medical racism

*2021-04-27*

I would rate this app as quite good if it wasn’t teaching medical racism. As it is I would rate it 1 star if I could. The issue is that all (or almost all I haven’t done every single surgery on the app but close to, at least 95%) of the patients are light-skinned. It doesn’t tell you how rashes or other things to look for on a patient’s skin look on darker skin than the lesson shows. Black people on average have much worse prognosis than white people do when diagnosed with skin cancer, because the cancer is on average is detected at a much more advanced stage due to medical professionals not knowing what to look for to detect skin cancer in more melanated skin than white people. This is one example of a systemic problem which is killing BIPOC. A systemic problem which this app encourages. Every lesson should offer a diversity of body types, skin colours, and disabilities. There should be examples of what things look like on all variations of skin colour. This way doctors will actually learn how to treat humans, not just a small portion of people who look one way. 

In addition, despite the fact that doctors treat people with varying pre-existing disabilities and health issues, the app never provides any information on how your course of action may differ if someone had medical issues beyond the 1 you are treating. This is crucial knowledge that is just left out of the information taught on this app. It also doesn’t provide information to help clinicians build empathy and if anything encourages them to see the patient as nothing but a collection of numbers. Nearly all patients are male and no information is presented in how symptoms may present differently in female patients. Also all patients are cisgender (not transgender). 

Correcting these issues is essential. In addition further investigation into how these issues even occurred is necessary.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2021-04-13, version 6.35*

App keeps crashing and is currently unusable. I like the app generally speaking but wouldn’t bother downloading it right now.

### 1/5 — I am not satisfied

*2021-01-02, version 6.27*

### 5/5 — A must have for training surgeons or just surgeons prepping for a surgery

### 5/5 — Best medical app ever

*2025-01-21*

This is by far the best free medical app i have ever used. Thank you developers for making such an amazing app😇😇

### 5/5 — Made my life choice

*2025-01-05*

I may only be 12 but wow! I have wanted to be a cardio surgeon for abt two years now but was happy to look at other specialties. This app let me see everything I needed to know that I chose the right one. The attention to detail they put into each specialty (especially prep) made it so realistic (according to my mother who was a vascular surgeon for 9 years) as well as the amount of different surgeries. I love this app so much and it has impacted me future greatly.

### 5/5 — Great for med students looking to prep cases.

*2024-08-18, version 7.40*

Only wish they had more surgeries!

### 5/5 — Superb App

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2023-09-26, version 7.23.2*
