There’s no way for me to complete this because of the “sign in loop“ that never ends. Please realize that this is an important feature of the app for your customers and fix this bug. ### 1/5 — Can’t sign in *2026-01-21, version 4.2.2* AAFP journal is great, but unfortunately I can’t have access to the content in the app because the sign in process just keeps loading and never finishes. I can access it without problems on the website. ### 1/5 — Board Review Access *2025-11-12, version 4.1.0* I already logged in once. When i try to access the board review questions which are free, it asks me to log in again. This is a known issue since last many years if i recall. I have no idea what the issue is!! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-07-23, version 4.0.9* App crashes every time I try to login. I’m a student and have a login online but I can’t on the phone. Even when “logged in” I try to access the board questions and it asks me to login again, but crashes every time I click the link. ### 3/5 — No offline use *2025-07-22, version 4.0.9* I enjoy the content this app delivers and appreciate the ability to earn CME in one convenient location. However, I don’t understand why internet access is required to log in. I was traveling recently and had downloaded PDFs of a few issues into the app in anticipation of being out of service/wifi access, but could not access them because the app logs me out frequently and I could not log in without service. Why allow PDF downloads at all if that’s the case. ### 5/5 — Please Fix. Can’t log in *2024-12-10, version 4.0.9* Unable to log in and access app ### 4/5 — Great App, Bug Fixes Needed *2023-10-23, version 4.0.7* Love having all AAFP resources (journals, podcasts, etc) in one place! I think there are some quality of life and content improvements that could be made to bring this app to the next level Content: 1) Including Annals of Family Medicine and Robert Graham Center publications on the app 2) Fellowship Finder: AAFP already has this on their website, would be a great addition to the app. Quality of Life 1) Like another reviewer stated, it’d be really nice if the app would remember my login information and didn’t redirect me every time I logged in 2) Residency Finder Search Tool: Frequently returns that there are no residencies matching the requested criteria when the AAFP’s online search tool will return programs. It would also be great to multi select program based on program type and community setting. 3) Residency Finder Content: Would be great if the residency finder could include wage/pay on the benefits page. ### 2/5 — Purchased CME not available *2023-07-02, version 4.0.6* Purchased CME material from the AAFP website is not available on the app. Inconvenient to have to return to my computer whenever I want to work through part of my 17 hour course. ### 2/5 — Not stable *2023-02-25, version 4.0.4* Close to being relevant. Not stable enough to use. Trying to do board review and it’ll freeze up out of nowhere, ditto trying to load articles. Needs to be tweaked. ## Frequently asked questions about AAFP ### What does the AAFP app do?
