So many buggy issues that make the experience using the app poor

UWorld is good, in terms of content and what it’s meant to be used for. But the phone app is simply awful. If you leave the app idle for even an hour, and you decide to open a graphic in a question answer, it won’t open. Then you have to restart the app. The problem when you restart the app is that the app does not properly keep track of where you were during a test. It usually is about 5 or 6 questions behind, sometimes 10 or more, forcing you to answer those questions however you thought you did before so as to keep accurate data about what you got wrong or right. It’s terrible in this regard. They need to fix this now otherwise competitors like AMBOSS and USMLE Rx will be the go-to insteadz

App Freezes

When doing questions in tutor mode, app repeatedly freezes on a question such that when one swipes to go over to the next question, the current question repeatedly displays despite the swiping animation being completed. Even more annoying is the fact that you can see the session timer continue to run in the background, and the software records the question one is trying to get to as seen but “incomplete”. Attempting to “Suspend” the session does not work and the only way to resolve is to quit the app. Apart from this annoying bug, great app. Will update this review once bug has been rectified.

Get rid of the study plan

I cant use the app because the “study plan” is blocking my qbank. I get it though, making people more dependent on your app and study plan will make people use it more and $, but this is too much.

App Crashes

App is very unstable in an M4 iPad Pro. A days work wasn’t saved due to a crash. Unacceptable considering the value of time of test takers.

Abysmal App

I have never left a review for any app in my life, but using UWorld on the iPad has become so frustrating that I feel I need to warn others. UWorld is great content-wise, but it will NEVER remember your answers. It will constantly allow you to finish exams but will not remember you have logged in. It’s clear that there is a timer that automatically logs you out on the backend but does not log you out from the front end. This means you will start a block of questions, you must finish them all immediately. If you have to see a patient and minimize the app then attempt to resume your block, it will allow you to keep answering questions BUT WILL CRASH when you get to the end. This means you’ll have to relog in then repeat the 20 questions you did when you were logged out by the system. The creators of the material do a great job. The app developers have created one of the worst users experiences on this device.

Says I don't have subscription

I have an active MCAT subscription I use regularly online. Unfortunately the app says I don't have one, so I can't use it at all.

Used to be good

Used it for Step 1/2 prep and during 3 I believe they took away the desktop app and made it online only. Ever since then, the mobile apps have been not working so well on apple devices. I want to access my IM board question bank, but it’s not available on mobile. Pretty useless to have this installed on my phone if I can’t do questions while on the go.

Nclex-Pn

I loved the format of the app and it’s flexibility with the time and the lay out of the explanation of the questions and answers. This app really boosted my confidence and I performed well in my exam :)

Please hire a user experience designer

The app is clunky. There are far too many clicks to do the simples things. Too many dialogue boxes that pop up. Too many times being asked if I want to take the action that I clearly selected.
