TESTIMONIALS

“I am old school oilfield, a 45 year veteran and I am certified as an IADC and IWCF well control instructor. I am always looking for new and improved ways to get the personnel adequately trained and prepared for the oilfield and what you have is very good for entry level and junior personnel. Did I mention that what impressed me the most is the animations, this is the way to demonstrate, not on a whiteboard or PPT presentation, animations - more animations. I applaud you for the content and effort.

Latest reviews of Drilling Animations app for iPhone and iPad

Not good
Every time you watch one of the videos you have to pay.
Incredible app!
Really vivid animations and powerful explanations!
Awesome app!
Really useful app! Great animations, simple to use, and easy to understand.
Elementary video
This app is less than basic, more along the lines of kindergarten education. Not even worth the .99 cost.
Looks good but pricing structure is really bad
This app seems to be the quality animations I would like to use and see. They seem useful for the purpose of learning the internal mechanisms on oil and gas equipment and operations. However, the pricing structure is too greedy. You will initially get three credits that are good to watch 3 animations. Even though I clicked on an animation for 1 sec and closed it, a credit was deducted, and if I wanted to see the same animation again another credit was deducted. The purchase option is to buy 10 credits for $10 or 100 for $50, but either way it is a bad deal. It is not worth it to "rent" a 30 sec animation and pay $1/$0.50 to view it every time. These animations one need to see several times and study them in detail to learn the concept/equipment/operation, or to teach someone. I do not mind paying to own quality material like this just like a song, a video, or a game, but the structure is ridiculous, and YouTube is free.
