Osmosis: Medical School Notes App Bewertungen

I downloads videos to watch when I’m on the plane. This currently doesn’t work, defeating the purpose of allowing downloads. Please fix.

I really appreciate the medical content provided by this app; the knowledge it offers and its presentation style are outstanding. However, I'm encountering several technical issues. For instance, when I minimize the app and then reopen it, or when it runs in the background for a while, the screen often turns black and fails to play videos. Additionally, videos frequently don’t load, just showing a loading icon indefinitely. Due to these problems, I find myself using the website via Safari, which works flawlessly. It's also worth noting that the app seems underdeveloped compared to the website. I hope this feedback can help improve the app, as it really has great potential.

I rely on using this for preparation before lectures (PA Student) but it doesn’t load videos very well off of WiFi and searching for videos doesn’t bring up the most relevant results. Sometimes I start typing out a word and it changes video results as I type with very odd results and some videos I want to watch but when I write the whole work that video isn’t part of the results.

Glitches CONSTANTLY. Sometimes just keeps trying to replay a video over and over again, while I’m trying to search for another topic or play a different video or do flashcards. It just repeatedly starts trying to play the same video over and over again. Also will randomly start a video over at the beginning when I’m in the middle of it. Lots of other glitches too.

I tried to open an account with the app, but it did not have my college listed for selection. I was unable to register and use the app.

Osmosis stands out as an exceptional tool for mastering challenging concepts. Its extensive video library offers a diverse range of content, making learning engaging and effective. I have truly seen my understanding and my exam scores skyrocket. However, what I feel sets it apart most is its commitment to free accessible education. As a user, I appreciate the app's dedication to making learning accessible to all.

I am very impressed with the video series and the interface. This app is user friendly and the resources that go along with the videos make studying and retention easier for me.

Is there an Arabic subtitle on the videos

I really wish I could use this resource, but the app consistently crashes and glitches. I have tried everything on the website for trouble shooting, but it still does not work on my Apple devices. I’m lucky if I can watch one video a day on my iPad.

The app won’t let me leave to do other things on my iPad. Ruined my whole day

The app itself has some bugs. It doesn’t pause and will even keep playing if you get out of the app. The sound quits working occasionally and it won’t go full screen when you click the full screen button. Great product though but the app needs work

I cannot get this app to play any videos. Tried going through the troubleshoots/common fixes listed on their support page, like deleting and reinstalling the app, and now the sign-in buttons are completely unresponsive. My professor is trying to assign us videos to watch and I’m unable to get even the first video to open.

Honestly, if you have access to internet you’re better off using chrome or safari to log in to their website. The apps abilities are VERY limited. If you have study schedules you can’t access them, and on top of that, when I try to download videos it ends up downloading the wrong ones. Maybe it’s a me thing but I don’t like it. On the other hand, their entire video library is amazing and website resources are incredible, (definitely worth buying their subscription) which is why I’m so disappointed you can’t do much on their app.

Ahora con los transcript y los videos con subtítulos en español es mucho mejor

I really enjoy osmosis, but I am frequently experiencing videos not playing, and when I want to replay videos after watching them, they stay in completed mode, and I’m not able to restart them. I even downloaded the videos and saved them but I’m still not able to replay. Download the latest update, even restarted my phone, but I’m still having the same issue with videos not playing on iOS. Will update review if bug fixes get released.

App won’t open for use

Its ight

I absolutely love osmosis as a study tool but the app and even when using it on safari it crashes so much! Many times when i try to forward or rewind a video i even have to close the app and open it again.

A must have!

I subscribed to the app to help with advanced pathophysiology and pharmacology in NP school. It’s been great to explain some things in more detail - sometimes too much detail, but I’m betting med school students need that. Glad I did!

I see the daily practice quizzes come up but I can’t setup my own quiz on the iPhone.

Makes for a great addition to death by PowerPoint in PA School.

I’m a student of physical therapy i use the osmosis platform during all my study it is more helful and make me more understanding I suggest it for all my peers in medical school to use it 🥰

You know the joy in finally understanding something you have been having sleepless nights on? Osmosis gives you that joy, look no further 🩺.

Before explaining why I gave this a 1 star I want to make it clear that Osmosis is a phenomenal learning tool with amazing content- it’s videos, notes, and questions are all clearly made with love and attention, and they have helped me tremendously in my studies. Given all that, it hurts me to leave this review- it is a tremendously bad mobile app. List of issues I’ve run into in just a brief amount of time using the app before switching back to the web browser version: - The app is essentially a super watered down and restricted version of osmosis.org with very few of the benefits you pay for with your prescription. Unless you plan to use this app exclusively as a video viewer, I would not recommend it. - There is no Quiz Builder feature, so if you wanted to make an assessment on content areas, this feature straight up just does not exist. To do quiestions, you have to search up individual topics, click on the topic which then auto plays the video, and then pause the video to scroll down to the 3-4 USMLE style questions on that topic… I genuinely have no words - The app suffers from long load times to populate video libraries as well as to load videos (not an internet issue, I double checked) - I regularly encountered weird glitches like where selecting a new subject will populate the previously searched subjects videos instead, forcing me to restart the app - The notes viewer is difficult to use: rather than making pages turn like any other reading app on a touch screen device, you can’t turn the page by swiping and instead have to hit the next page button at the bottom TLDR; Not only is the app a buggy and unresponsive mess, but it is just a nightmare to navigate, and it is deliberately restrictive with its features for no fathomable reason. I understand the logic of making a more streamlined version of the main product for mobile use, but gutting it nearly completely for the sake of “minimalism”? Or under the assumption that people would only use it as a bed time supplement study tool? I genuinely don’t understand what other reason there could be for an app to not simply implement the same features for mobile use that it makes freely available for web browser

I used to be able to make my own sets of practice questions from the Qbank, but now I can’t anymore. I didn’t get osmosis for the videos, I made it for the Qbank! Bring this function back.

Being in an accelerated BSN program equals to understanding and learning so much material in a very short time! Osmosis helped me a lot during this journey and I’ll graduate very soon with good grades and gpa and i always say osmosis has helped me so much!

I try to recommend Osmosis to all of my pharmacy school friends but people get scared by the price.. trust me - ITS WORTH IT! So much, that many professors include links to osmosis videos in lecture. There is this beautiful workspace feature where you can upload your notes and make an outline and flashcard from the powerpoints. When you do the flashcards, it shows the slide associated with it so you dont have to scroll through notes to find clarification! The only downside to the app is not having full functionality like the website. I wish I could use the workspace feature more in the app, but no big deal to get online! Strongly recommend. 2 years going strong with osmosis and it never lets me down :)

It has a lot of terminology, it is as if someone read the topic very quickly without the possibility of reflecting and you have to stop the video to take notes. Few methodologies too fast, not too practical and really expensive. Especially when there are other options. none of the recommended to spend 160 dollars for almost nothing. Not all videos can be opened on the phone. Please don’t waste your money. Even when you treat to refund your money they said is not part of the deal.

I am a current PA student and use Osmosis quite a bit to aid in my studies. The content, visuals, and explanations are phenomenal but the app itself seems to be in need of some improvements with regard to user-friendliness. The app often crashes after I select a video to play. In addition, at the end of a video, the app suggests other videos/content to proceed to checking out; however, if I want to simply replay or rewind to the video I just watched, it is not very intuitive and is actually difficult to do because the video progress bar that you’d normally just slide to the left to rewind/restart the video is often hidden and difficult to pull up. It would be helpful if there was a “replay” or “start over” button at the end of videos.

A+

It’s in the title

I wish I could easily access the practice questions corresponding to the video topics on the app like I could in the older version. The app was convenient for on the go questions and flash cards, but now all you can do is watch the videos or have a random set of questions. I think a desperate practice question tab or at least an option for the questions under the videos tab would be nice! Thanks

Best app,helped me alot ngl

There is nothing to complain about the content but the app alone responsible for the 3 star review. Every time I open the app it took at least 40 sec to start.

Frustrated with the update. I heavily utilized the decks feature to use shared flash cards my classmates and I created and those are no long accessible through the app, and accessing them in my phone through the website is frustrating as it continually loses your place. I don’t usually bother with the app anymore

The new Osmosis app is very nice, but the flashcard review keeps me incessantly crashing. I’ve tried reloading the app, but still crashes constantly. They really should fix this.

The app is very slow to boot up abs seems like taking ages to boot up even in a powerful latest model iphones!

I love the videos. The playback functionality is brutal. The playlist does not play the list. You have to keep going back to the list and selecting whatever you want to see. Related, I can’t turn off my screen to listen to the videos while I’m running or driving. Turn off the screen and the audio also stops. Today I can’t rewatch a video because… I have no idea. It will play “the next” video it thinks I should see. It will keep running credits. There’s no back button, no scrolling button, no play button.

Osmosis itself is fine, it’s not the best and not the worst. The app is not good. It continually glitches. If I pause the video to take notes too many times the app shuts down. When I reopen the app I get a black screen that I may or may not be able to get out of. After losing my spot after the app shuts itself down it doesn’t let me use the drag bar to change the time of the video back to where it was. The playback speed features works fine until the app shuts down. When I reopen it, it says that it’s playing at 1.5x speed when it is clearly playing at 1x, and I can I only get it to work by changing the speed to something else and then changing it back to 1.5. I do not recommend this app.

Don’t upgrade to the new version if you like seeing the Picmonics at the bottom of your flash cards. They have apparently removed that functionality.

The new update has made the app useless and I’m not able to use it anymore. I can’t access my study schedule from it, I’m not able to do flashcards, either the ones in my spaced repetition nor the ones on my study schedule. If these things are changed, I’ll be happy to update my review.

The new app has a fresh new design and is a lot more user friendly. I like you can now look at notes and browse through content much easier!

The new app update isn’t great. The interface is much better but functionality went down. Videos take too long to play(end up stuck on loading), lose sound randomly and buttons don’t work sometimes. Please update the app to fix these issues.

Osmosis is unlike any medical app I've seen. It's extremely intuitive and cleanly designed. I love how it sends me push notifications to remind me of important medical concepts and facts, and that the questions integrate images and videos. I definitely recommend Osmosis to my fellow medical students. The new version is even better! I can play against my friends and have fun while learning/reviewing.

Stop contacting me.

Love the content but the app is very frustrating and can’t understand why it has not been fixed in all this time. I will not renew if this app cannot be fixed since I try to use it frequently on my phone.

The app is broken on my phone, and has been for a while. I can’t get past the log-in stage, and the app support button doesn’t take me to app support.

Not sure if it's optimized for ios 15
