Great App
Super informative and useful for the MCAT!! The way subjects are explained are very related to AAMC.
Absolutely 100% recommend
I use this in conjunction with the MCAT basics podcast, khans academy and practice tests and I am feeling so ready to write next week. I bought the Kaplan books but they were far too dense when I had just taken courses in all these materials. My practice FL scores are in my target range, I’ll update in a couple months when I get my score (: Thank you Ken, Sam and Adam for providing the highest yield content in such a digestible format,

Ken Tao is a Lifesaver
I have the app but enjoy watching the videos on my computer for a bigger screen. I was originally using Khan Academy for learning physics and the videos were so confusing and the lecturer made many mistakes so it’s hard to follow and understand. Tao’s videos are straightforward and easy to follow along and ACTUALLY LEARN FROM. For a free resource, this app is really good to learn material and test yourself on it, and do daily questions.

So underrated, I’m glad I came across it!
This app is amazing and I can’t believe it’s free! I actually prefer this over khan academy because the explanations are not only easy to understand but are thorough as well. This is so helpful for content review and the videos are amazing. Thank you so much!!
Overall great, practice questions need proofreading
Overall I’m happy with the user interface, content, and ability to preload a schedule based on my specific study timeframe, especially as a free app. As a previous user of paid MCAT prep courses and other free study materials, this definitely combines a lot of my favorite things into one convenient system.
My biggest complaint is there seems to be some lack of proofreading regarding the practice questions. More than once I have come across questions that were poorly worded (ex. If 66 g of AlCl3 reacts with excess AgNO3 to produce 151 g of AgNO, what is the percent yield? - the error being that AgNO is not an appropriate product in this reaction). The explanations are largely helpful (as in this case where the correct product was listed: AgCl), however it is difficult to actually test my knowledge and understanding in these cases.
I would also recommend making a pop up periodic table available for science questions, rather than switch between the app and my internet browser.

Background Audio/Video Play (Picture in Picture Mode)
I love the app and I wish I could play the videos in background (picture in picture mode) when I need to get out of the app to use other apps. I mostly use the app to listen to lectures on the drive and while working out. It’s so annoying to manually get in the app to resume a video every time it gets paused. Please enable the picture in picture mode and it couldn’t be more perfect!

Won’t load app at all
Error message about no internet comes up as soon as you try and put a number of hours a day in. Internet both through wifi and data and the same issue occurs.
Amazing!!
Can't believe this app is free, I've used it to familiarize myself with the MCAT content, and the features in addition to prep videos such as flashcards and notes are phenomenal. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Great resource
I loved how you could tailor your study schedule to the amount of hours you could commit per day. It’s easy to track progress and see if you are on-track for meeting your test date. My only complaint is that you can’t use this on a computer, I would’ve liked to watch the videos on a bigger screen than my phone. I liked the white board notes section, although there were many typos that I noticed. I feel that a huge chunk of the high-yield topics in all MCAT sections were covered in these videos. I wish I would’ve dedicated more time to using the flash cards & question bank; but from the few I did use, they were challenging and had good explanations for right/wrong answers. I’ve already recommended this to my other pre-med friends who are starting to study for the MCAT!

Amazing
This app has helped me so much. I like how it helps make a plan that takes your time into account
