It’s anoying because you have to keep the phone or the ipad very close so uou can read otherwise it’s very small and you will end up having headaches because of the amount of concentration you have to make ### 3/5 — Text size *2026-04-22, version 1.9* AMBOSS is one of the best learning tools and question banks to use. My problem with the app is that they don’t allow you to adjust text size which makes it very hard to read ### 2/5 — Wish it had the same features as desktop version *2026-03-26, version 1.9* I wish it had the same features to access study schedules and programs from the desktop version. Would have been useful to see here. ### 3/5 — Love Amboss… the app could use work *2026-03-23, version 1.9* It’s nice to be able to do questions on the go when I need to when I’m in rotations but it’s a bit annoying because I can’t use the links for articles for certain topics… there seems to be a bug. Also a bit annoying that when you pull up labs to check reference ranges you can’t see the question stem at the same time and the reference range sheet is the smallest font ever. ### 2/5 — AMBOSS is excellent but poor app *2026-02-15, version 1.8.3* Amboss is excellent. The questions and bank of information have been invaluable. The app has issues though: -The light mode only is annoying -the app will randomly just go blank while doing question sets and I have to exit out to make the question reappear -the images frequently have a bar along the bottom that covers part of the image and makes them illegible when reviewing the graphics that go Along with the answer choices ### 4/5 — Please offer different font sizes *2025-12-21, version 1.8.3* Useful app but could you please add a feature to increase font size? The font size is foo small on the iPad ### 4/5 — Missing a key feature, good otherwise *2025-12-03, version 1.8.3* How on earth is this missing the ability to highlight text in questions? Seems like a very basic feature for an app designed to do problems on. Night mode would be great too. But otherwise good app. ### 4/5 — MCCQE *2025-11-13, version 1.8.3* Is it available qbank for MCCQE? ### 3/5 — TLDR: Good app if you accept the user interface *2025-10-28, version 1.8.3* First off AMBOSS is gold tier. They have an incredible, extensive database. This app doesn’t really give AMBOSS though so don’t base buying a membership off this (membership is worth it just do it). This app though is giving unfinished. I think the main issue is just ui, although I appreciate the same consistency in aesthetic across AMBOSS platforms. Don’t get me wrong this is so good for doing practice questions on the fly and making things less boring. Like for example, you can hide the answers and guess before revealing them and rule them out (which the web browser version does not?). Highlighting with an Apple Pencil does not work well - when you finish a question it highlights what you should have highlighted instead of those orange/brown underlines seen in the web browser version. Also, You cannot directly access study plans made by AMBOSS through this app - you have to start a question session on the web browser before doing it on the app. The Anki card download feature thing isn’t on here either. I know this app is just for questions, but it seems like the ui flow/features should be a little more advanced given what AMBOSS has produced product-wise so far. ### 2/5 — Need dark mode *2025-07-15* It’s been annoying without dark mode **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback! While dark mode isn't available for the Qbank app yet, we’re always working on new updates. Please stay tuned for future releases, as you might see this feature in an upcoming update. - Anna from the AMBOSS team ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2025-07-13, version 1.8.3* There needs to be a dark mode option available. I'm still surprised that AMBOSS has not done this yet. I love the content though. Doing a great job. ### 2/5 — Can’t highlight, can’t mark questions *2025-06-30, version 1.8.3* Needs more features, it’s way too basic rn ### 2/5 — Where’s the assignment section? *2025-02-22, version 1.8.2* Missing a few key things on the app, like assignments! ### 2/5 — Love AMBOSS Hate the App *2025-02-04, version 1.8.2* Can’t highlight the question stem, can’t cross out answer choices, can’t write notes. Very limited functionality. Not an acceptable alternative to the desktop version. ### 4/5 — Great app for learning *2025-01-01, version 1.8.2* Love the app!! Just wish I could highlight text. Also love how you can use it offline ### 4/5 — Add a search bar for lab values *2024-11-18, version 1.8.2* Whenever a question requires evaluation of lab values it takes a considerable amount of time and frustration to use the entire lab value table provided. There should be a feature to simply look up the value as there is in the web version. ### 4/5 — Improvement *2024-11-17, version 1.8.2* Can yall add a dark mode ### 4/5 — Please add dark mode *2024-09-13, version 1.8.2* Great app but really really needs a dark mode. Only reason I am not giving 5 stars. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to work properly *2026-07-29, version 1.9* This app used to work properly, but clicking on links in the questions to knowledge articles no longer works. This is extremely frustrating and makes it far more difficult to find relevant information for study. I would not recommend this app in its current state. If this gets fixed I will edit this review. ### 1/5 — Just go back to UWorld *2026-01-11, version 1.8.3* You know it’s bad when capitalism has hit the med school question banks hard. Amboss used to be great when i first started using their library years ago. At one point I realized they had been charging me for 2 separate accounts for over a year and when it was brought to their attention they just gave a “whoops” kind of answer and never refunded me the full amount. The question bank has had technical issues since they created it. And their technical support has one answer “I’m sorry i can’t recreate the issue on my end” like okay but I can and I paid yall thousands of dollars for access to something I can’t access. So the last straw for me was the app never says what kind of access you have or when it expires. And today I got a popup saying I can’t access a question set that i completed, and want to review because my unlimited access expired yesterday. Mind you, I still pay for library access which should give me 50 questions a month, can’t have that now either. It should expire in April but Amboss seems really tight on cash if they’re trying to hustle money from poor medical students. With the amount of money I’ve given amboss, i could’ve paid for 5 of their “lifetime memberships” they used to offer before they sold out. ### 1/5 — Basic subscription *2025-05-16* I got only 50 questions per month after buying subscription **Developer response:** Hi there, You can upgrade your basic membership at any time to enjoy unlimited questions! Simply choose the upgrade package that works best for you - available in 1, 3, 6, or 12-month options. If you have any questions or need help deciding, feel free to reach out to us anytime at hello@amboss.com.- Anna from the AMBOSS Team ### 1/5 — Font is too small *2025-05-03, version 1.8.3* Font is too small, can barely read the questions so I haven't been able to use it like I want to. ### 1/5 — No night mode *2024-08-02, version 1.8.1* Am I mistaken or in 2024, an esteemed medical education organization could not bother to add the so-called “night mode” feature to avoid eye strain? Really disappointed. ### 1/5 — Disrespectful with students *2024-05-23* I’m paying monthly membership for over 18 months basically to do questions. Now, they limited my membership to only 50 questions/month. This is a total disrespect with my money. I basically payed 18 months to do questions and now I have to pay more 250 dollars to continue studying. Should refund this waste of time and money that I had. That’s a joke ### 1/5 — Bug Issues *2024-01-21, version 1.7.0* “Oops something went wrong.” On exams in use or review. Logging out shutting down doesn’t fix. Requires a completely new test to be made. ### 1/5 — NOT for iPads *2022-12-01, version 1.6.14* iPad Pro 7th gen iOS 16.1.1 A developer responded to my previous complaint about small font with the suggestion , “try increasing the font size.” OMG, why didn’t I think of that ! Here I am decreasing the font when I should’ve been INCREASING THE FONT SIZE. Ihope my sarcasm is dry and pungent. BOTTOM LINE: this app is not iPad friendly. It’s like staring into a flashlight for 6 hours a day because the developers insist on small black font on a flat white background. ### 1/5 — Needs highlight feature *2022-09-27, version 1.6.14* There is no highlight feature on the app. And the timer is not visible ### 1/5 — How do you not have dark mode? Will change to 5 stars *2022-02-14, version 1.6.11* I think the qbank is great, but man eye strain is real and I love dark mode. Your main competitors’ app qbanks HAVE dark mode for iOS. Please enable or get working on it. I was surprised to say the least when I found there was no dark mode. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Study Guide *2026-07-20, version 1.9* I have been using this to improve my knowledge and prepare for board exams, so far I am super impressed with my performance and feel confident in AMBOSS qbank to achieve Full Liscence success. ### 5/5 — Amboss vs UWorld *2026-07-05, version 1.9* I’ve completed UWorld question banks multiple times. For me, Amboss is just better. It feels like less of a grind and key concepts are more easily captured and explored ### 5/5 — Works well! *2026-05-07, version 1.9* Like that I can download exams and use offline. ### 5/5 — Sit lux et veritas. *2025-12-09, version 1.8.3* Sit lux et veritas. ### 5/5 — Great study aid *2025-10-24, version 1.8.3* Nicely structured questions with very detailed answers with nicely made graphs/pictograms/pictures and links to text ### 5/5 — No dark mode *2025-06-18, version 1.8.3* Why is there no dark mode? And I can’t start a new block of questions for my study plan on my iPad. ### 5/5 — Try it! *2025-03-11, version 1.8.2* Great source of study material for USMLE boards! Very practical! ### 5/5 — Needs Highlight option *2024-09-17, version 1.8.2* The application is working good but if you consider adding highlight option when reading the question that would be helpful a lot. ### 5/5 — Amazing offline features *2024-06-03, version 1.7.0* Thank you for offering offline resources. The power grid is unreliable and I’m still able to study and practice with AMBOSS during power and WiFi outages. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-04-16, version 1.7.0* Amboss qbank really help me pass my usmle steps. I will be using it now for my step 3. My only thing is that the app itself, i cannot highlight using my pencil in my ipad. I hope you can make that a feature.
