Convenient!
I love how it's integrated into apple's new interface! I can review without having to have my laptop around. Highly recommend
Love the app - modern UI update please?
This app is obviously a must for learners...just wondering if the developer team is ever planning to update the UI so that controls in the top left corner aren’t so high up? It will literally be blended in with the toggle for switching to the previous app you used and you have to press it in a very specific way to return to the previous screen or the menu. It’s been like that for years now and I’m wondering if that can be update - small but definitely makes it tough when trying to review things quickly!

Excellent Review Material
For me, this app has the perfect formatting for a concise, yet detailed review of important clinical and basic science topics. I really enjoy the ability to not only practice with flash cards, but to have the option to refresh my understanding by reading the respective paragraphs provided for individual topics. For me, it boils a lot of information down to “need to know” blips, which is a great way to remind myself of important things when I haven’t looked at it in a while! Thanks, Firecracker for making studying enjoyable!

Good product
I love the daily case question. Firecracker is a great companion for my coursework and provides an additional angle on everything we are learning. It is clean and organized and has a lot of supplementary material. Sometimes the pictures don’t correlate perfectly to the flash card. The web version is better in my opinion, but the app is great for the convenience.

Ok product. Awful customer service.
Firecracker as a product contains good, relevant information, but as they themselves admit, it is information you can easily find at other sources. They believe that their flash cards are what makes the app most useful. Well, the flash cards are overly detailed, and don’t have the same ability to space repetition that other flash card apps offer. Their learning experience is very text based, so if you are a visual learner look elsewhere. Finally, their customer service is absolutely awful. Once they have your money it appears that they don’t care to respond to messages or emails. I’ve been trying to get a very simple issue sorted for 2 weeks now (change email address and school associated with the account), and they have not responded to any communication I’ve sent them for well over a week. Given the plethora of resources available today, I’d say save your money and spend it on something else.
