User reviews

Please update app

It does not have a highlighter function, which is a huge disadvantage compared to the laptop version. The app is not ready for students to use it for COMAT exams

Outdated and buggy

The touch target for “next/previous question” barely work, you constantly have to tap them to move on and often will inadvertently skip a question. The app is horridly out of date and hasn’t been touched in years. Not only do we have to take these awfully written tests while our MD colleagues take the superior NBME Shelf’s, but we’re subjected to technical glitches and out of date software. All the more reason to despise the AOA and its subsidiaries (NBOME).

Request

Can you please add a bar on the top left to hide/show the question numbers so we don’t have to hit review each time to navigate between questions? It would also be nice if the questions would have a flagged symbol so you know which ones you marked. The laptops are able to do this, so I feel it’s a fair request.

Works fine

Used this for my OMT Comat and had no issues. I was able to highlight. This app was much easier to use than the Windows version.

Cannot highlight, application crashes during testing

Used this to take a comat. Heads up - you CANNOT HIGHLIGHT while using this testing software. ‘Give feedback’ button non functional and causes app to crash mid test.

Really NBOME?
