### 2/5 — Terrible Retesting Options

*2022-10-18, version 1.4.2*

It’s hard to give this app any credit. It’s just questions - should not be hard to make. It works as expected in the first go around of questions. Then when you try to reset some questions that you previously got wrong, this app is not user friendly or intuitive at all. And it’s different from the website which makes no sense. Hundreds of dollars should buy better.

### 2/5 — Crashes all the time

*2022-02-20, version 1.3.2*

This app crashes a lot

### 2/5 — -

*2021-03-30, version 1.2.1*

Previous layout was way better.

### 1/5 — Feedback

*2021-01-26, version 1.1*

The previous app was a easy to navigate and user friendly. This app is incredibly hard to use and make studying on the go a near impossibility. I am tempted to pursue/demand a refund. Had I been able to anticipate the change prior to purchase, I would have never even considered chest seek as a study tool, despite enjoying the resource previously

### 1/5 — App update

*2020-10-28, version 1.0.1*

App was updated less than two months before boards and is not compatible with several older devices.  This put lots of people in a place scrambling to find a way to study.  Next time you update the app, please do not do it right before boards.

### 2/5 — Frustrated

*2020-09-23, version 1.0*

I wish I could compartmentalize this rating; the ‘new’ app is fine overall. I’m a little frustrated by the forced categorization of topics (while studying, I’d prefer to have a mix without creating a mock exam), the inability to ‘reset’ answers as I’m coming around to some of these questions multiple times but would prefer to not have my prior answer standing, and the timing of the launch overall - my boards are in November and this was a profoundly inopportune time to launch a new app.

### 2/5 — New update

*2020-09-23, version 1.0*

Happy for an update and attempt to improve the app but seems to have made question working more cumbersome.

### 2/5 — Move to worse

*2020-09-12, version 1.0*

Key features that were present in the previous app are missing. The questions are not well organized under the topics. Cannot search for keywords. Does not have the statistics of peer answers just to mention a few.

### 2/5 — Terrible’update’

*2020-09-09, version 1.0*

Take a great user interface from an original app, strip it down and then make a new app. That’s what you have on this app. This app has organisation of subjects which the previous app did not have, but that was an easy fix in the previous app. There is no reason to create this app with such a horrible user interface. Developers need to fix this issue quickly. It’s not hard because you already have an app that looks and works well.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever prior app was good

*2020-09-08, version 1.0*

Worst app

### 2/5 — Thanks for screwing it up

*2020-09-07, version 1.0*

The old app/interface worked well and also could be used on desktop which is closer to exam conditions.  Thanks a ton for screwing this up 2 months before the test.  Really inconsiderate.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Poor studying tool

*2025-02-15, version 1.7*

Overly cumbersome navigation
No highlight/ strikethrough function to organize material
Does not sync across apps
Wish this was more intuitive

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2024-04-17, version 1.7*

The app is archaic and the interface is poorly executed
I do expect much better considering the amount I paid

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2024-03-14*

The app is archaic and slow downloading study material stop frequently and you eventually give up and use the browser I was expecting way more from ACCP

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2023-08-01, version 1.6*

Started crashing in July and unable to login at all. I checked my credentials on the website and everything works.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2023-07-28, version 1.5*

Keeps crashing, please look at the MKSAP app, thanks

### 1/5 — Crashes seconds after launching

*2023-07-24, version 1.5*

Th app repeatedly crashes mere seconds after launch. It simply does not work. I have tried restarting my iPad and the app, searched for updates, uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing works. This is functionally useless.

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2023-07-22, version 1.5*

Not friendly 

No highlight 

Not interactive enough

*2022-10-31, version 1.4.2*

*2022-05-18, version 1.3.2*

Frequent technical issues

### 1/5 — Cant reset the questions

*2021-09-23, version 1.3.2*

You can’t reset the chest seek questions without submitting fir MoC or email support. This is very annoying at times.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — MD

*2023-11-06, version 1.7*

App is very user friendly.

### 5/5 — Outstatnding content.

*2022-11-28, version 1.5*

I studied for my ccm board recert.  This is the way to go.  Very high quality content.

### 5/5 — Best app for sleep

*2021-10-21, version 1.3.2*

Really well done. Questions are concise and clear. App is easy to use. Well worth the cost.

### 5/5 — Format

*2021-06-02, version 1.2.1*

If you could please make the format similar to uworld I would be happy thanks.

### 5/5 — I don’t like the new format

*2021-03-30, version 1.2.1*

The question format in the old SEEK is far more preferable for me.  Too many clicks to get to the question bank.  Once there, however.  The questions themselves are still fantastic.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-10-09, version 1.0*

Allows me to access content on the go

### 5/5 — Fast and snappy

*2020-09-18, version 1.0*

Great app!

### 5/5 — App functions like expected

*2020-09-01, version 1.0*

For the first time i have experience what I was expecting. The app flow is intuitive and pleasing to eyes. I highly recommend it.

### 2/5 — Logged out and can't get back in!!

*2023-07-22, version 1.5*

Hard to navigate. Progress does not sync across devices. Font is either too small or too big. Now I got logged out and cannot log back in.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2023-06-08, version 1.5*

This is more of a connection to the web than it is an app. It’s overly cumbersome. The design ought to take a few style and function cues from UWorld. Also the ‘exams’ are just timed, pre-made versions of the multiple choice questions available through the mcq section, rather than distinct preselected questions that cannot be accessed from the mcq section. In other words, don’t save the exams as a way of evaluating your knowledge near to test date; they aren't anything more than questions you’ve already done.
