### 1/5 — BEWARE: They will keep charging after you cancel

*2025-04-29, version 1.0.12*

Do not get this subscription: they have a non existent support service and there are far better question bank and audio learning tools available. 

My experience has been awful: I purchased the audio Qbank subscription last year and, due to a limited number of questions, I decided to cancel my subscription. It shows as canceled in Apple, when I try to login my “user does not exist”, when I try to call their Help number it always immediately goes to a dial tone, and I’ve never received a reply from the  email they provide. And yet, every month I am charged for the subscription and have to dispute the charge on my credit card. It is appalling, ridiculous, and feels downright scammy.
They would receive zero stars if I could give that.

### 1/5 — S

*2024-11-07, version 1.0.12*

Signed up but the activation link didn't come through my email and app doesn't have a resend option!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work…

*2023-11-26, version 1.0.12*

Very excited about the concept, total lemon. Paid 9 bucks and it doesn’t even work, screen just freezes.

### 1/5 — Paid, no access on iPhone

*2023-08-11, version 1.0.12*

No refund, and no access.

Open audio q bank option.. says I always have a subscription… then pinwheel off Death loading swirls animation forever. Closed the app… Same result. 

Had to unsubscribe. 

Also it worked last year.. and many of the questions had static so loud it hurts your ears.

Also the favorite question option doesn’t function reliably.
 
Devs must have celebrated early and speed refunding.

### 1/5 — App Does Not Work

*2023-03-30, version 1.0.12*

Since purchasing the monthly service the app continues to glitch and will not allow you to access the audio. It seems like they are taking your money without providing any kind of support

### 1/5 — Can’t use subscription purchase

*2023-03-23, version 1.0.12*

Waste of money because the app freezes when I try to open the paid content. I have not been able to see any of it at all because of the app glitch.

### 4/5 — The podcasts are the best

*2021-11-22, version 1.0.9*

So I got this app because I found the podcasts a couple weeks ago. They are the best thing that I could think of to listen too and get content out of. I do wish the app had two things, a sample to the audio q-bank, and anking audio. Just a question or two or a card or two just so I could get an idea of what it is before I buy. I know some of the podcasts have “samples” but I don’t really know anything about the set up of the audio q-bank, particularly the cadence of the questions and time gaps before answers are chosen. 
The other thing would be a free trial for the paid parts of the app which is of the same nature of the sample I really just want to know what I am getting into before spending my very little medical school student money on yet another resource. All that being said the podcasts still rule and I just shared them with my whole class because I think they are so valuable. Thank you.

### 1/5 — App is having issues

*2021-05-20, version 1.0.6*

Can someone in the developing team fix/update the App? I bought a 3 month subscription and a white screen keeps popping up every time I open the app making it not usable. I tried re-installing and turning my phone on & off and nothing works.

### 3/5 — App issues

*2021-05-20, version 1.0.6*

Wish the glitches would end but definitely a good product

### 1/5 — Can’t use the app

*2021-05-18, version 1.0.6*

I purchased a 3 month subscription but every time I’ve tried to use the app since purchasing, the whole screen turns white. I can’t use the app or listen to the audio. Not sure what to do
