### 1/5 — Worst app!!!! Which used to be greater. i wud give just zero star

*2026-05-28, version 2.9.1*

I used this app for primary frca 3 years back.Very impresseive. could filter the questions. Can go back to questions that i have wrongly. Can trwck my progress. now thr same updated app. I answer one question and then the question is gone. select 20 questions for revision. Same 20 questions come and i nevre be able to see many questions at any point of time.  Useless and pathetic app which used to be so great!!!!!!! Jus get out of app store or please update it.Ppl are failing because of ur stupid updated app with wrong anseers and poor technology.

### 1/5 — Totally inconvenient

*2026-02-11, version 2.9.1*

Such an inconvenient app to use 
- cant access previous answered questions while you doing the sets of questions 
- cant access the current topic that you are answering easily, you have go search all over the list based on how many percentage you’ve progress 
- the ‘Answer Question’ doesnt work most of the time, so you have to press and wait, if you’re slightly inpatient or pressed it twice accidentally, it gets answered and jumps to next question quickly 

One of dumbest question bank ever!
Kindly invent something that makes everyone life easier! That is why we are paying

### 1/5 — App is terrible, website is fantastic

*2025-08-29*

Questions are fantastic - less in quantity than pastest but more true to exam style and harder. Well explained on the whole. BUT the app has too many glitches - Ive just tried the most recent update and the hyperlinks are misplaced (used on an ipad), you can’t tailor your revision session, you can only click ‘start revision’ (if you can find the small square to hover your mouse over to actually click the button) and it automatically generates a 20qu test for you. Who are they employing to make the app?? Honestly just so short sighted.

### 2/5 — FRCA final functionality very limited

*2025-07-25*

Sadly the app seems to be better for some exams than others. For the FRCA Final there is no way to pick high impact questions or “check your exam health”, for example. You can do batches of 20 questions at a time, or you can select a topic to narrow the questions down. That’s it. There’s also a reasonable number of questions with incorrect answers (assuming the explanations are correct) or inadequate explanations (so you have no idea why the answer is so). Shame considering the price…

### 5/5 — Nice New Look but Not Perfect

*2025-06-25, version 2.9.1*

I Like the New Look of the App but miss some „old“ functions. Would be nice to choose number of questions like before. Not always 20. And I miss the comparison to others at the end of a round. And to see the “my performance” part. 
There are some questions with wrong “true/false” classifications. It’s dangerous to learn wrong stuff if you do not check with the explanation for every single question

### 1/5 — NOT HAPPY ATALL

*2025-04-06, version 2.8.7*

This app is very slow to load and sometimes does not load at all and I have to restart the same 20 questions all over again

It is time wasting and my exams I close

### 1/5 — Poor maintenance of app ?is it worth the subscription?

*2025-03-23, version 2.8.6*

Bugs in loading… failure to login on app and certain features not optimized…be in on pc and phone/ipad app… for the price and a poorly maintained app, would not recommend this to anyone unless desperate for question banks

### 1/5 — FRCA buying interface is not working

*2025-03-10, version 2.8.6*

I cannot access anything beyond when it ask me an exam to choose. Raise a concern with the bmj. No response since a month.

### 1/5 — Worst version

*2025-01-27, version 2.8.6*

You could not pick the topics that you would like to revise and images are blurry

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2025-01-26*

The previous app was better, you could filter questions and track your progress, Review any set of attempted questions. Now you can’t and some correct answers are to ticked as false. Too many mistakes on this new version. Very disappointed I had to pay a lot for this!😠😤☹️

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.9.4 — 2026-08-26

This update fixes several crashes for a smoother, more reliable experience - including when starting a revision session, moving between questions, and submitting answers.

Thanks for using BMJ OnExam.

### 2.9.3 — 2026-08-06

We've improved the encouragement you get while you revise.
The motivational messages ("You're on a roll!", "You're halfway!", "Nearly there!") used to only appear in shorter sessions. Now they show up at evenly spaced points in every session, however long it is — so you get the same well-timed boost whether you're working through 20 questions or 100, right up to your end-of-session summary.
Thanks for using BMJ OnExamination. Keep the feedback coming!

### 2.9.2 — 2026-07-30

This update gives you much more control over how you revise.

1. Build your own session: filter questions by status - including ones you've previously got wrong - as well as by type and length, so every session fits how you want to study.
2. Short on time? Start a 20-question session of unseen questions in a single tap.
3. Move through a session freely: go back and forward between questions, skip ahead, and return to anything you left unanswered. Your answers and bookmarks are kept as you move around.
4. New question navigator: see every question in your session at a glance, spot what's answered and unanswered, and jump straight to any one.
5. We've also refreshed the dashboard, with a new "Your learning" area that puts your progress front and centre.

### 2.9.1 — 2025-06-04

BMJ OnExam - Update Highlights
1. A/B Test: Session End Screen – We’re testing a new design at the end of a session to better motivate you to keep going with more questions.
2. Analytics Fix – Resolved an issue with a broken analytics event so we can better understand how the app is used and improve it for you.

### 2.9.0 — 2025-05-21

BMJ OnExam - Update Highlights
1. Smarter Error Messages: Some error messages now include a direct link to the login screen, making it easier to get back on track.
2. Improved Subscription Display: We’ve redesigned how subscription options appear in-app to make them clearer and more user-friendly.
3. Landscape View Fix: The question and answer screen now displays correctly when viewed in landscape mode.
