Has to be restarted all the time

The app doesn’t load sometimes. On multiple occasions I experience that I can’t submit answers due to technical issues. I have to restart my phone in order to make the app working.

Bugs

Multiple episodes of progress not being saved when trying to suspend test. Good when functioning correctly.

Works terrible on iPad

The app needs to be erased and reinstalled almost every day on iPad. It works better on android

Glitchy app

The app is good in theory with an attractive layout and is user friendly, however none of the clickable links on the app to view media (e.g x-rays or EKGs) ever open and you get an error message. Additionally you can’t create flash cards or make notes and it won’t allow you to suspend a test or even submit a test when it is completed. It’s very frustrating and for the money for subscription it should be fixed. I find myself needing to use my laptop in order to use the browser where the software actually works.

App keeps having errors

Uworld questions are great but the app needs work. It will very often have an error when I try to suspend (AKA save) my exam. There’s no other option but to quit the app and return to the exam but all my progress/highlights will be gone. I also randomly won’t be able to open clickable links in the explanation or save flash cards. But it’s great when it actually works!

We will need you to login to your
¡Tunes account with which you have purchased this product to verify your subscription.”
There is no active subscription via iPhone for this applicafion!!

App won’t work

Everytime I try to logon it says I need an active subscription, but on the browser I can access my Uworld Board Review Qbank without any issues. Why won’t the ipad app work?!?!?

Frozen twice in last 24 hr

Questions are great, but app has to do better

Gold standard

Never has medicine been so fun to learn. Uworld has it all - a one stop shop to becoming the best physician you can be. Uworld will teach you what your residency may have failed to teach you and then some. If your unsatisfied then...wait...there’s no way your going to be unsatisfied. GOLD STANDARD!!!

Average, could be better

This app could be great, offering quick study while on the go. However, it crashes frequently (especially when reviewing flash cards and making edits) and is very cumbersome to sign in (fingerprint login takes me to a blank screen, only allows me to sign in by entering my login and username each time, then goes to a blank screen requiring several clicks to get to the menu). While I realize that signing in each time is not the end of the world, but since it crashes often I usually just end up getting frustrated and not using it.

Buggy

Great uworld questions. No offline mode. App randomly freezes and had to reinstall. Used 48% of iPhone battery in 1h of use...more than a movie or game. Please fix

Split screen not functioning properly on iPad Pro

When I attempt to benefit from the split screen function on my iPad pro (to take notes on another application) and drag the split screen to the middle, the application dims and everything disappears.
Please fix this issue.

No percentile performance

It does not have peer comparison. Only shows your percent scores and not your percentile.

Unsure...

The old app told us to download a new app but I it's not for step 1.

Cannot login

Can't log into app, but am using the old app without difficulties.
