Osmosis Reviews

I received an email that my subscription was going to be charged again. I had canceled my subscription months earlier. I emailed the company and they bombarded me with emails stating they could not find my account. Now they have charged my account and now are continually emailing me. They have not issued me a refund and have not called me to discuss the problem. It seems very fraudulent. I will have to call my credit card company and have their company permanently blocked from any charges occurring on my card. They also do not allow you to cancel via the Apple ID. Furthermore there is nowhere on Osmosis to cancel a subscription.

this app itself is fine, it’s not the best and not the worst. Osmosis is not good. It continually glitches. If I pause the video to take notes too many times Osmosis shuts down. When I reopen Osmosis I get a black screen that I may or may not be able to get out of. After losing my spot after Osmosis 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 Osmosis 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 Osmosis.

I love the this app app, it helped me in college from A&P all the way up till I graduated from nursing school. I have even bought all their books. I recently started to rewatch and review material from the this app app but with this new update has made Osmosis almost impossible to navigate. Osmosis has become slower, I can’t access flash cards or quizzes anymore, and I get errors when trying to watch a non-downloaded video. I do love Osmosis but the new updated version proves to be an issue, hopefully they fix it soon so I can stay connected.

I am a current PA student and use this app quite a bit to aid in my studies. The content, visuals, and explanations are phenomenal but Osmosis itself seems to be in need of some improvements with regard to user-friendliness. Osmosis often crashes after I select a video to play. In addition, at the end of a video, Osmosis 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.

I really appreciate the medical content provided by Osmosis; the knowledge it offers and its presentation style are outstanding. However, I'm encountering several technical issues. For instance, when I minimize Osmosis 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 Osmosis seems underdeveloped compared to the website. I hope this feedback can help improve Osmosis , as it really has great potential.

I love this app. I let the Study Schedule feature plan my day and I just sit back and follow what it tells me to do. Their videos are great introductions to complex systems, which lets you jump right in to Boards and Beyond/Pathoma without feeling lost. I can’t say anything from the qbank, since I use a separate one, and I use Anki for flash cards.

Unfortunately Osmosis hasn’t gotten the same time as the website has. It is hard to use the study schedule feature, which is what I love the most. Watching a video is also cumbersome. The UI isn’t as clean as the website. At the time of my review, the last update was 6 months ago which isn’t bad for an app that doesn’t really add many features with every iteration, but the this app app could use some polishing.

this app has a great site and great content, but navigating it is (and has been) an issue. I mostly use their site for the questions; on their website you can only choose questions by organ system. I have a quiz this week specifically just on b12 and iron deficiency anemia so this feature has become useless to me. If you are on Osmosis , you can further break it down, but half of the organ systems are missing on Osmosis (i think this is a front-end coding issue) and this has been an issue for years, so i can’t really use it. (My app is up to date, my IOS is UTD, i have deleted and re-downloaded; the issue is Osmosis .)

The content is there but i can’t access it.

I love the videos themselves. They are super helpful as a tool! However, as an app the navigating of the videos is not very streamlined, and it’s difficult to play one video after another within a subject manner. Also, if I want to project them onto my tv at home so I, not straining my neck as much it doesn’t work very well with AirPlay. After the first video plays the second one I always have to close Osmosis and open again for it to play or screen mirror. ,I reorient is not ok when I want to multi task. I’d recommend them perhaps even making an app adapted for Apple TV.. like this app TV

I LOVE that I can take notes in a different app on my phone while still keeping the video window open in the top corner. That alone has been so helpful, as I like to study on public transportation or while walking my dog.
The search bar could use some work though- but that's kind of always been an issue with this app for me.
I'm *very* glad it's a free app but it's of a quality that I would have paid for it if it wasn't free.

Massive improvement from their old app layout! Now we have videos that run smoothly and where you can change the playback speed easily. I love the download feature. Haven’t tried the other features of Osmosis yet, like the flashcards, but I expect good things already. Osmosis is organized very well and is user-friendly. Good job, this app! I love your videos, so thank you so much for making them easier to access through mobile!

this app 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 Osmosis 's dedication to making learning accessible to all.

Bugs recently fixed! Great study tool on the go that has all my created and class uploaded flashcards! Plus I can watch all the this app videos right on Osmosis so everything I need I can access with my phone on the go. Basically everything you need to study for med school can be found on this app and they are super quick to respond and help with help with any questions!

I'm a medical student from KSA, and I really benefited from Osmosis. I've only started using it towards the end of last semester, so this is not my final review. this app became my favorite place to start studying and get the general idea before going to my school notes and books for the details. Also a very positive thing is that the developers actually put time and effort to read feedbacks from users and use them to make Osmosis better. Which leads me to my biggest concern, I don't think Osmosis is getting the credit it deserves. Will that affect the effort and care put into this? Cuz a thing like this needs update, follow up, and improvement due to the fact that this is a medical based app and the knowledge never ends. I hope they keep it up and continue improving.

this app 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 this app to my fellow medical students. The new version is even better! I can play against my friends and have fun while learning/reviewing.

As med students living on loans, it's hard to pick out which resources to spend our money on. this app is one of those resources. Its videos are detailed enough yet understandable, and the flashcards, practice questions, and STEP 1 Q banks are great. Just when I thought it couldn't get better, they updated Osmosis and added the "high yeild notes." The block I started using this app (Heme-Onc) I got my highest exam grade thus far. Got a four year subscription when I purchased and have ZERO regrets. It just keeps improving!!!!

Their videos are a great complement to Pathoma. The this app illustrations provide better in-depth understanding (I love when they zoom in to elaborate on something and then zoom back out) and include occasional histology, they usually hit a few additional topics than pathoma. I appreciate having quiz questions right afterwards. I will then watch pathoma after this to get another perspective and usually a bit more histology info.

Great app, excellent illustrations, and one of the few that lets iPhone users speed up videos.

Prime was worth the money!

I try to recommend this app 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 this app 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 Osmosis is not having full functionality like the website. I wish I could use the workspace feature more in Osmosis , but no big deal to get online! Strongly recommend. 2 years going strong with this app and it never lets me down :)

I somehow got into medical school with a below average MCAT score and a below average undergraduate GPA.

When I started medical school, a friend recommended this app and I never looked back. this app helped me to excel in my classes during the first two pre-clinical years and helped get a 253 on Step 1 - a higher score than I could have ever dreamed of.

I used all of this app’ recourses - their videos (especially the “high-yield pathology” videos), their spaced-repetition flashcards (an updated version of the famous Brosencephalon deck), and their Step 1 Q bank. The flashcards made all the difference in my ability to retain information over a long period of time and subsequently do well on Step 1.

Now that I’m beginning my 3rd year, I’m super excited to crack into this app’ clinical videos and their Step 2 Q bank.

Thank you to team this app for all you do. You’ll always have my highest recommendation.

If you are not learning on the go via the this app app then you’re not doing it right! Not only is this app an amazing learning platform, the mobile app has changed the way that I study on the go. I listen to videos while I stand In the line at the store, I flip through flash cards while I wait for class to begin, I can view the new and updated study schedule and get some tasks out of the way while I wait for my friend to get ready before we go out. All of this without opening up a computer.
It’s honestly the way to go in this era of technology!

Great App. Great site. The videos are very useful, and they don’t assume as much prior knowledge when teaching concepts as many other “high yield” med school resources, which is great for really hammering in foundational topics.

Most writing this review because in the current version (v4.3.4), the mobile app “questions” and “flash cards” toolbars do not have Gastrointestinal question banks available. No glitch or issue with access; it’s just not listed as a section between Endocrine and Genetics. I’m assuming it’s an easy fix. Thanks :)
