Amazing

I was having so much trouble with the website itself so I figured I'd try out the app. Maybe they fixed since all these bad reviews but it was amazing and I ended up having no issues. The sim didn't take forever to load, there was no lag, and my score transferred over to my account quickly

App not Supported on IPad

I spent one hour and about 6 partial attempts on Stan Checketts (same problem on the last few I’ve tried as well), before it would inevitably crash bringing me back to my Home Screen. There is also no resume button, so every time I lost all my progress.

It’s impossible to submit an assignment if you can’t complete it.

I really hope this problem gets fixed!

It doesn’t always give full credit

I will follow all the steps but for whatever reason it never recognizes that I have viewed the EHR. I will click through every tab of the EHR and scroll through everything, several times throughout the simulation but it never gives me credit for it.

Yup, app is trash

Good thing I started my homework days before its due. I have an M1 iPad Pro, and nothing I do seems to get my past the Sim Loading screen. I’ve restarted my iPad, checked the internet connection, deleted and reinstalled the app. Nothing changes.

So how does a company with as much resources as this have a trash app? Easy, we have no choice but to use it as students.

I’m going to have to use a work PC from the early 2010s and hope I can finish this assignment.

Nursing program

Had to pop in and say to counter the bad reviews:
The app works as intended for me using: base 9th gen iPad
Actually easier than computer.

Frustrating!

It keeps shutting me out! Every time I’m close to being done, it just randomly closes and all of my progress is gone and i have to start ALL over. They should give you the option to remain on the browser version or use this useless app. This is just ridiculous!!!

Horrible !

Whenever I try to complete a vSim, the app crashes halfway through and I have to start completely over. It does it so often that I just use my laptop for vSims.

Crashes

I have tried to use this twice now and the first time it crashed before the sbar then the next time it crashed while I was doing the sbar. it was not 30 minutes for sure the next time a have to log in and start all over. How inconvenient.

The App Has Improved Its Issues

It seems to work fine on my iPad. The creators must have updated it and fixed some bugs they had in the past.

Lo peor

Lo peor

APPLICATION DOES NOT WORK

Keeps kicking me out and not saving progress. Based on recent reviews developers said this was fixed, it is not. You have a great product here, but the difference of the application working or not working (which it is not working) is attributing to the bad ratings and reviews

VSim does not work well

I tried doing a maternity sim on my iPad but it would not update the orders after calling the provider, which is essential for fully completing the VSim. This app needs serious work in order to work on non laptops/computers

Would give 0

This app is the literal worst. I’ve seen the dates on the reviews and they have yet to solve the issues after saying they have been working on it.

App crashing

I have been trying to do a sim all morning. It’s crashed every time I’m close to finishing the sim.

Terrible

It’s ridiculous that we pay so much money for school and for books and this is what we have to work with. Shame on this company.

Worst app ever

I don’t know how many app reviews I have ever done in my life. However, despite having used hundreds if not thousands, this is by far the worst ever. It is required for nursing programs which are already very busy and stressful. This app simply does not work. I was unable to access the VSIM on my phone, so it says to download the app, I download this app after waiting and deciding to set-up my Apple ID on my school iPad, when I do it takes forever to download. Once I’ve gone through all of these steps, I quickly login and then it directs me to same site on my phone which somehow thinks my iPad is not a tablet and is a mobile device and still doesn’t let me access what I need. So all of this to say, this app is complete trash, and you need to login using a computer. Maybe it works better for windows based products, but it doesn’t work at all as of October 28th, 2022. This is even more disappointing to see the responses to the other reviews as recently as October 13th claiming that they are aware and have fixed these issues when they still have not. It is shameful that as nursing students and medical professionals we have to rely on such broken products. We do not need more stress and problems in our lives as we are trying our best to learn, grow, and keep other people alive. This is extremely disappointing. I would like to request a refund for my subscription to CoursePoint.

I requested a refund and was told it wasn’t possible, waiting to speak to a manager. They told me that this app cannot be accessed on any mobile or tablet device that it is ONLY available on desktop or laptop computers. So frustrating and disappointing and a waste of our time and energy. They should be clear about that then on the website and this app has no reason to exist if it doesn’t work at all and the company is aware that it doesn’t work. Why are you telling us that you are working to fix it, just tell us it doesn’t work and we won’t spend time trying to download and make it work….

Do better.

Crashes

This app is suppose to allow you a half hour for your vsim, crashes after 9 minutes.

Worthless waste of time

This app doesn’t work, period. It will let you enter the sim, via the website only, and will randomly close down, losing all your progress, having to start completely over. Gave up after the third attempt. I could have been done and well onto my second sim by this point, if not done completely, but I have to log onto the computer and start all over again in order to finish this simulation for class.

TERRIBLE AND UNREALISTIC

this app is horrendous. don’t update it, get rid of it! huge waste of time for such a minimal portion of our grade. i dont need a giant pic that stays on my screen for 10 seconds explaining what a nasal cannula is. this is not am “emt for dummies” class. ridiculous

vSim won’t transfer as completed to your account.. don’t waste your time

I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt after reading the reviews. I completed the whole assignment and everything but the actual vSim transferred to my account. After completing the simulation the app kept responding with “please try again later” and it never uploaded. I had to redo it on my laptop. You can use this app if you don’t have access to a computer at the moment and want to start the process but know that the completed assignment will not submit.
