Landscape view

The app is great but wish there was a landscape view for ipad

Questions are Great. App is Awful.

The questions are great but this app needs some serious work! I am so frustrated I canโ€™t see straight. Constantly restarting. Buttons are minimally responsive. It is an issue on both my ipad and iphone. I have tried deleting and downloading the app but to no avail.

No landscape mode

The app appears to work well but is only available in portrait mode. It does not switch to landscape mode, making it unusable for me. Iโ€™ve uninstalled this app and will use the website instead.

Bugs with the new updated app

App tends to freeze much more since the new app update. Also on the vignette portion, the ability to do a custom number of questions or even preset number of questions (10 or 30) stopped working for the quizzes. Instead it just entered in completely random number of questions. Tried to do a 10 question psychiatry vignette quiz and it put in 180 questions in the quiz. Tried it again and it created a 51 questions quiz. Would expect better with $500 purchase and my board being in 3 weeks

Fairly good

The app is pretty good and very intuitive.
My major complaint is that the app quite often does not remember the last question I answered when I have to switch apps in mid session. At times I start as far as 10-15 questions back (the questions I already answered and reviewed). This is a major inconvenience, considering it was designed with mobile users in mind.
Please fix.

Font size matters

Please add feature to allow user to increase font size. Explanations are in very small font and difficult to read.

Quiz resets to the beginning!

Quiz resets to the beginning and doesnโ€™t save my progress, which it use to. Itโ€™s very annoying especially when youโ€™re taking a 200 question quiz...Please fix this!

Please make an ipad app

Iphone app is easy to use. Ipad app would be really appreciated

FINALLY!

Iโ€™ve heard Boardvitals has quality content but Iโ€™ve been waiting for an app before I purchased. Their app looks great and I love the new features! Itโ€™s now so convenient to prep for the boards and earn CME.

Does fairly good

Questions on the fly, I love it. The developers did really good! Works seamlessly, and no glitches.

To fix:
- usually, when you see an explanation, it gives you a percentage on how many get it right. Itโ€™d be nice to see that on the app as well. This isnโ€™t needed, just a bonus.
- also, the number of questions it says I answered is off compared to the website. So Iโ€™m getting repeat questions. Not sure if you can fix it. But other than that, I love it.

On a side note, I used to just log in via safari, and do questions that way. Therefore I wouldnโ€™t need to constantly update my apps. I quit using apps that require constant upgrading. So I opt to just use Safari, and go about the old school way.

But overall, Iโ€™d give the developers an A+!
