### 1/5 — App doesn’t work on camera island iPhones

*2025-03-29, version 1.0.49*

The app is difficult to use with iPhones that have the camera island. It prevents you from going backwards since the navigation arrows are on the top corners.

### 1/5 — Critic

*2024-03-31*

It doesn’t work at all so why you put it in App Store?

### 2/5 — Garbage

*2023-08-14, version 1.0.49*

Tutor mode not working.  Navigation not compatible with all iPhones.

Overall pretty lousy attempt at app.  

At this point I am not even sure if their qbank are good materials for prep given how lousy this app is.  

Likely would not renew subscription.

### 1/5 — Errors everywhere

*2023-06-26, version 1.0.49*

I got this through a deal from the school but it is so bad I will have to delete it and get something else. This has tons of errors in it. I also found out that it’s run out of Malaysia not Canada

### 2/5 — Not user frendly

*2021-10-16, version 1.0.44*

It is sometime impossible to end a test since it is in the upper left of the screen (too high). Not really user friendly

### 5/5 — Please fix the rotation ability can be used in iPad! Please

*2020-07-26*

Good jobe!

### 1/5 — Don’t wate you money

*2019-11-05, version 1.0.8*

Questions are so distant from the main exam and mostly repetitive. I wasted my money. App is also not user friendly.

### 2/5 — Horribly disappointing

*2019-08-23*

Both the content and the design of CanadaQBank are poor and very disappointing.  Sadly without any direct competition for the Canadian market they don’t seem to have put the effort into a polished product. The questions are riddled with spelling and grammatical errors which distracts from the content of the question.  Explanations are inconsistent, some thorough, some nothing more than a reiteration of the answers, some which are wrong/do not consider all available information.
Using the app itself is also a pain.  If you want to be encountering only fresh questions (only unused), it only counts the ones you’ve used in that mode (ie timed, or untimed, or tutor).  If you use questions in an untimed test the same ones will show up again in a timed set even when you ask for unused. 

The multiple choice qbank for MCCQE 1 has >3000 questions, but CanadaQBank has gone for quantity over quality in so many ways.  Even though they are only US content I wish I had just extended my AMBOSS or UWorld subscriptions.

Come on Canada, step up your game

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2019-07-15, version 1.0.8*

The app is useless. Doesn’t even allow you log in on most days. Doesn’t sync with your online q bank. All in all, a total waste of time. Stick with the website.

### 1/5 — Do better

*2019-06-28, version 1.0.8*

Poorly designed , user unfriendly
