Although, it needs a thumbs up option for comments & a DARK MODE (screen brightness) FEATURE! ### 2/5 — Posts don’t include dates *2023-11-22, version 9.32.19* Posts don’t include dates, at least on the iPhone app. I can’t tell if these are new, old, active, or inactive. ### 2/5 — Idioma *2023-09-13, version 9.32.19* Deveria ter opção de idiomas principalmente para português ### 4/5 — Unsubscribe from email *2023-01-07, version 9.30.4* The unsubscribe button for the emails definitely doesn’t work. But a great app for med students. As a nursing student in Germany this is sadly not for me. ### 2/5 — Please fix this app *2022-09-22, version 9.26.2* I am probably one of your longest users but this app gets more useless as time goes on. JUST ARRANGE THINGS BY DATE. The top case that shows up in my feed today - ECMO and H1N1. How old is this case? 37 comments with no mention of covid- so this case has to be 2.5 years old. ### 4/5 — Dark Mode, please *2022-04-25, version 9.17.7* Dark Mode, please! ### 3/5 — Versão Português *2022-03-08, version 9.14.3* O app não fornece mais a função português- Brasil? ### 1/5 — Kicked us out *2021-09-25, version 9.5.2* Not a medical person but interested in this great app? Sorry —you get access no more. Out. Kicked out. Such a bummer. ### 2/5 — Very slow on iPad app *2021-09-21, version 9.5.2* After ios15 release on the iPad, the app is now very slow ### 1/5 — Can’t access comments *2021-08-24, version 9.3.0* I have not been able to access the comments since this app changed to the new “blue” version. It keeps saying to sign in to view or leave a comment. I am signed in. I try to sign in again and it doesn’t allow me to sign in. There needs to be a major fix. ### 1/5 — Miss The Old App/Access For All *2021-08-03, version 9.1.3* I used to be a daily user. The app fascinated me, helped me grow as a person and student, and even lead to the diagnosis of a connective tissue disorder in someone very close to me. Though I am not a medical professional, I just graduated with a degree to teach math and science. I am so bummed to have lost this resource and really wish you’d open it back up to us all once again. I can honestly say that it would have inspired me to go into medicine, if I had been at a different point in life. Sad. ### 4/5 — More T-shirt giveaways *2021-07-31, version 9.1.3* I love the app, I just wish they had more t-shirt giveaways! Surprisingly, my figure 1 illustrated heart t-shirt sparks many conversations with strangers! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad app *2026-07-13, version 13.0.3* I signed up but the app does not open, It asks me to sign in again many times and to re enter my password! ### 1/5 — Stuck on a splash screen *2026-03-07, version 12.0.2* When logged in, all it shows it “this screen doesn’t exist. Go to Home Screen!” When clicked, it does nothing. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-10-18* Interface not working, can’t open my keyboard **Developer response:** Hi Dr. Shawez, we are sorry to hear that. Please contact us at support@figure1.com and we'll be happy to help! Best, The Figure 1 Team ### 1/5 — Not working anymore? *2025-06-17, version 10.1.8* Cannot even sign in even after resetting new password. ### 1/5 — App not working *2025-03-16, version 10.1.4* App doesn’t work despite restarting it several times ### 1/5 — Used to use; now way to privacy invasive *2023-09-24, version 9.32.19* Used to like the app quite a bit. Forgot about it, now coming back to see I need to submit a photo of my badge as well as credentialing info and full personal information? To look at pictures on the internet? No way. ### 1/5 — I really hate this is only for MDs now *2023-07-10, version 9.32.19* I was in the medical field working in the laboratory and was always looking at specific laboratory testing. Can’t do that now unless you have a license number ### 1/5 — Pouco acessível *2022-07-11, version 9.21.7* Apenas o idioma inglês dificulta a utilização do App ### 1/5 — Out of focus pics on iPad and no landscape mode.. *2022-03-07* Kindly update the App so that it works in landscape mode. The App is Very good for any medical professional, but why collect all that data, contacts and the rest.. It makes using this app spooky. @developer :And yes I have read your response, but that doesn't still explain all the data you collect. The verification of ones professional credentials can be done via one email, not by regularly collecting the data. **Developer response:** Hi there, Thanks for sharing your feedback - our team is currently working to improve the experience on tablets and we should have some updates soon. Regarding data we collect, as we explained before, we do not collect or store your contact list information and we do not regularly collect information for verification purposes. Your account on Figure 1 was verified in 2016, and that was the only time we requested your information in order to confirm your status as a healthcare professional. If you need any further clarification, please contact us at support@figure1.com Best, The Figure 1 Team ### 1/5 — Can’t join, disappointed *2021-11-10, version 9.8.2* I was a happy user of this app a while ago but they now require a user to be a ‘Medical Professional’, so I can no longer access the app. Very disappointing. Instead of banning nonprofessionals, maybe just limit their comments? This app is very educational and interesting. I visited daily. The web site they recommend is no way close to the app. So again, very disappointed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this app it’s my favorite, but.. dark mode? PLEASE? *2024-10-01, version 9.32.19* I’ve been on Figure 1 for several years. I love it. Thanks for a great app! My only real complaint is that there’s no dark mode. How can I doom scroll medical cases in bed instead of sleeping if there’s no dark mode? Please add a dark mode option, I’ll be so grateful. Thanks again for an awesome app! ### 5/5 — tam anlamıyla baş yapıt *2024-04-06, version 9.32.19* çok yararlı ### 5/5 — Always had interest in medical field *2024-01-12, version 9.32.19* I used to a regular in the app. Learning all kinds of illness and diseases, but somehow got deleted due to I wasn’t in medical. I was following up on cases. Wish they let me back in. ### 5/5 — A great forum to share cases *2021-08-18, version 9.2.6* Figure 1 is one of my favourite places to go to keep my knowledge and skills challenged and current. ### 5/5 — Sooo bummed *2021-07-24, version 9.1.3* I have been using this app since it became available and always looked forward to the challenges. Now I can no longer access it because I’m not a practitioner! My degrees are in math theory and electrical engineering ..having developed medical hardware and systems my entire career. If anyone knows of an app like this open to people with medical interests but not degree, please respond. Thanks for reading, Patricia ### 5/5 — Thank you *2021-07-14, version 9.1.3* Figure 1 cases are always professionally presented. Very educative and enlightening ### 5/5 — Love *2021-06-28, version 9.0.6* Tremendous resource. Information WITH pictures!!!! Love it. Thanks ### 5/5 — Great pictures *2021-06-21, version 9.0.6* Of various rashes on a variety of ethnic dermis as well as interesting cases ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2021-06-19, version 9.0.0* Excellent platform for medical education and for seeking answers to clinical conundrums. New app is improved from the original, and I continue to expect it to get better! ### 5/5 — Glad to be Back *2021-01-12, version 8.77.0* Happy to return after an extended absence due to SARS and a Septal Wall MI second to the same. We never know the time or date but once we skip over the stick we’re always ready to return to what we know and understand, renewed. We owe it to our patients and students to push each and every one of them to see not only the disease but the person to realize the lack of family interaction when patients are critical can lead to more deaths, longer recovery times, more stress on healthcare workers as well as other staff, and a loss of hope for the patient. We must strive to understand even when tired and worn that we are their link to humanity and while our time is precious and must be spread incredibly thin - we are their only true human interaction at times and can be extremely important to their recovery. Take Heart and Give It In Return For if We Lose This One Special Gift We Will Lose Humanity. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
