What Users Love About the App

“I thought being a detective would be boring! This app is very interactive and is very helpful! Once you start, you can’t stop! I hope you keep adding more outbreaks! This is really a great learning tool!”

“I Love This App! Way to go, CDC! Your online zombie preparedness campaign was excellent but this app is wonderful. It’s accurate, engaging, and educational. I use it all the time with my high school epidemiology class and they love it.”

“The gamification of the learning process makes this app engaging and entertaining. Congratulations to the developers for creating an app that makes learning epidemiology fun!”

“I love how the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) interpreted the fun knowledge of health into an amazing interactive. I personally love learning about diseases and health, for I wish to be a geneticist when I grow up. Thanks a bunch CDC, and extra thanks to somebody at the CDC that recommended this to me!”

“Awesome. This was both entertaining and informative, I love ❤️ this app. Thank – you for providing such a quality game.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“The replay-ability factor is very low, due to it being a puzzle game. When you finish both Level 1 and 2, you’re pretty much done with the app, unless you want to show it to a friend or try and solve the puzzles again. Honestly, good for puzzle lovers, but barely replayable.”

“Some of the text was too advanced for middle school students. Also the badge system is difficult to navigate. Students would receive badges, but it wasn’t clear what they accomplished to attain a new badge.”
