Can’t log in to take quizzes

Infinite login loop

Sign-in loop for quizzes

I use this app almost entirely for the practice questions. 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.

Can’t sign in

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.

Board Review Access

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!!

Crashes

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.

No offline use

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.

Please Fix. Can’t log in

Unable to log in and access app

Great App, Bug Fixes Needed

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.

Purchased CME not available

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.

Not stable

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.

Great app, could use a few important bug fixes

Excellent app. Easy to use for the most part. Access to all AAFP content.

I have a couple of suggestions:
1) not logging me out every time I change apps or open the app for the first time. I was trying to use the app offline while I was on an airplane and it kept logging me out whenever I switched apps. Of course you cannot log in again without the internet connection so despite having downloaded several articles I wanted to read on the flight I was unable to access them. Would request that the app stay logged in once you are logged in to it instead of having to log in every time you open the app or switch from another app. 2) app remembering where you were last. When I exited the app and went back into it it went back to the Home Screen instead of the page of the AFP article I had been reading.

Currently using iOS 16.2 on an IPhone 11 Pro. App version (latest) - just updated last week.

Never imagined it could be this good

Someone made a huge investment to improve this app. For the past 6 months I’ve been using this app to download and read the AFP journal and take quizzes and keep track of CME and forward my CME transcript to various boards. Smooth, fast, and no hiccups - over cellular or WiFi… this software is so solid I have no reason to go on to the AAFP website. Great work AAFP!

Signing in

The app and its content is great. However having to re sign in every single time is a big pain. There is no ‘memory’ for the username or password or face recognition which means I’m typing everything out each time. Very very very frustrating and time wasting.
Please fix!

Technical problems

This App used to be great, but it’s been having technical glitches for days that first wouldn’t let me sign in, and now keeps automatically closing the app every time I try to access Board review questions.

A most for every Family Physician!

Outstanding application, should be in every mobile phone of all Family Physicians.

Not working

Paid money keeps asking me to log in repeatedly, I joined but seem to have access to nothing.

Technology

It is having sort of glitch getting on

Unreliable

Currently not working well. I no access to the journals

Search feature

App has a lot of strengths as a central hub for all things family medicine. However, maybe it’s my lack of tech skills but there is no obvious way to search for a specific topic in the journal section

Miss old website

This website update is bad. Nothing is easy to find.
