The problem is that I still do not have access to the digital cards. The digital flash cards only go up to the 5th card. There is no way to resolve the issue in an efficient way and so I am left with leaving a negative review, which I hope would make them attend to the issue. ### 5/5 — Passed Bar *2024-05-03* Studied many hours with Critical Pass. Easy to use on my iPhone. So on point. ### 5/5 — Excellent Study App *2024-04-24* I recommend! Helped SO much. The cards are easy to use. And well organized. Professional! ### 1/5 — No MPRE *2023-07-23* Latest update removed MPRE. This company keeps removing things or asking you to pay for cards you already paid for. It’s a scam. Make your own flash cards ### 2/5 — Wrong Quiz History *2023-07-09* After using the “Quiz Me” function, a glitch causes the flashcards displayed in the “Last Quiz” section to be different from those you were actually just shown. Terrible implementation, decent flashcards for solidifying knowledge. ### 2/5 — App does not work well *2023-06-06* Flashcards questions and answers are not matched. When you click show answer for question ten it shows you the answer for question four. There’s no way to quickly find the correct answer so you have to look through the cards to find it. Content seems fine but not worth it if the app doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Bad Customer Service and Shoddy App *2022-07-01, version 4.4.4* The information and flash cards are great but you can’t use the app for review because after you do a quiz the review pane shows different questions that those you were quizzed on. And there’s obviously no other qualitative tracking so you’re left to guess at the ones you missed or keep track of them on your own. Why would you pay money for that? I explained the situation to the customer support and they simply stopped responding to me. ### 1/5 — Do not purchase - App is unusable *2022-06-18, version 4.4.4* There are 1450 questions for the MBE, but there’s no way to save your place, so in order to see all the cards you would have to answer all 1450 in one sitting! There is also no way to remove questions from the deck that you’ve answer correctly. These would be ridiculously easy changes to make, but without them the app is unusable. It’s really a shame, because the cards are good. It is mind-boggling that they haven’t figured this out. Until Critical Pass makes these easy changes to the app so that it’s actually useful, it is not worth purchasing. I’ll be asking for a refund. ### 1/5 — Love the physical cards, but app never works *2021-07-24, version 4.4.4* I truly love the Critical Pass flashcards, and I bought them full price specifically so that I could use the app. However any time I try to get passed the first few flashcards it reloads and wants me to log in or purchase. Every. Time. I tried to send user feedback, but that also kicked me out. Hopefully they get the glitches fixed prior to the next bar examination. ### 1/5 — Can’t sign in *2021-05-23, version 4.4.1* App will not allow me to sign in with my purchase email. I keep getting error when trying to log in. ## Frequently asked questions about Critical Pass Flashcards ### What does the Critical Pass Flashcards app do?
