### 5/5 — Great app for studying for CCFP exam

*2024-02-13*

Must have for studying. Tried this app and another one for reviewing/doing questions and seeing what areas I needed to focus more time studying. This one by far was the best. Answers are accurate and made sense. User friendly app. Can work through the questions in order, random mix or create a mini exam. Also has an MSK review with questions and links to guidelines. If you studying for the CCFP exam get this app!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-03-16*

It’s fantastic

### 5/5 — Guidelines!

*2022-02-06*

The feature I love is the list of guidelines. I am never sure which guidelines to know for the exam, and this puts them all in one place.

### 3/5 — Good cases but a bit buggy

*2021-12-12*

Like the cases especially msk crash course 
But in the drop by menu of the app I can only pick knee joint cases. What happened to the other joints ?

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback!  As we have done so twice a year for the past 4-5 years, we have another major free update coming along in early 2022 that will include additional "Crash Course" cases, new "SAMPS", fixing of educational links, updating answer keys and polishing the look.  Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, there were a few delays in updating the app this year. The feedback on the Crash Course section has been extremely positive and so we have opted to continue to expand it further to assist in your learning needs.  We appreciate your understanding and patience!  Stay tuned for much more!

### 5/5 — Great app, would recommend

*2021-03-15*

I’m currently preparing for the upcoming SAMPs next month and this app has been instrumental in helping me prepare. The questions are fair and represent be breadth of family medicine. The questions pull from current Canadian guidelines and the links to access the guidelines are embedded in the app. I have tried using practice questions from a well known Canadian preparation course and they don’t compare to the quality of the questions in this app. I have been recommending it to my friends and co-residents who are also preparing for the exam in the spring. Great job. I love how this resource costs $20 and not $800, like the Canadian prep course. I really appreciate the efforts you have put into this resource.

### 5/5 — A must have

*2020-12-13*

I don't usually review apps in the app store but this time it's different.
This app is a must have if you are sitting the CCFP exam, it's not complete but it has enough SAMPs questions to boost your confidence and knowledge before the exam.
To pass the CCFP exam you have to study hard for it and this app is an extra resource to use.
Keep the good work and let me know if you want me to add a few cases to your database

**Developer response:** Thanks for the positive feedback!  We are extremely glad you find the app useful.  I know the charities and families we help along the way really appreciate your support!  More to come!  Stay tuned.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-10-17*

Super awesome app. The questions are very relevant to the exam. Its a quick efficient way to study for the CFPC exam. There are so many questions, quite comprehensive and the derm section is helpful for both the exam and real practice.

### 5/5 — Great resource!

*2019-09-08*

This app is great to do some extra review when you’re commuting/have some spare time. It’s great because it includes lots of Derm cases and pictures as well. It’s been a lifesaver as a resident mom as I have very little time for studying and this helps me be more efficient.

### 5/5 — Great Study Resource

*2019-04-11*

Excellent resource for preparing for the CFPC exam or any family medicine exam.

### 3/5 — Content missing

*2018-04-15*

Great review app. But for $20 there are lots of blank questions of blank answers, throughout the cases. Still worth the time to use, but feels unfinished for the premium price.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback!  This was a temporary bug we found with certain screens and phones.  The bug was fixed.  The app is certainly published to completion and we send out free updates routinely.  Once our national study is complete, we will be rolling out a brand new free update with new cases, new educational links and features.  Stay tuned!
