### 4/5 — Decent but has some bugs

*2022-03-31, version 15.0.0*

Good questions, just very hard to highlight within questions and answers. Would super appreciate more responsive or tweaking of this feature!

### 4/5 — Great app but needs some updates

*2021-10-15, version 14.1.3*

Great layout and functionality. Does not support split screen on iPad pro

### 3/5 — Highlight, colors, underline, split screen

*2021-02-05, version 12.0.0*

It would be great if you could add highlight mode where you could highlight as you read instead of highlighting the text first, and more colors would be useful. 
I’d a like an underline function as well. 
And lastly, you should add split screen function with iPad pro so that we could take notes in other apps.

### 5/5 — Long time user

*2021-02-04, version 12.0.0*

Been using MKSAP for long time. Used it to study for my initial board test, used it for recertification test. App has made it super easy to study on the go, during downtime at work. It’s also super easy to submit for CME and MOC. 

One thing I wish they would update is ability to zoom more for images, specifically EKG.  Image is too small, and without ability to enlarge more, it’s impossible for me to see details of EKG on the questions. 

Also, I wonder if it would be possible to be able to see all the tables at the end of each section. They are full of information, but it’s hard to high light them for review later on. 

Lastly, need to be able to edit notes. 

I look forward to MKSAP 19 to come out later this year.

### 5/5 — As always - MKSAP delivers

*2020-12-19, version 11.0.0*

MKSAP has always been one of my favorite self-education programs. I highly recommend the MKSAP complete program from ACP to all medical specialties. Sure the app could improve. However, it is the content that really counts. Many user requests have been addressed, highlighting, font size, ... The one stop shop for ensuring board (re-)certification. Awesome!

### 3/5 — Assignments

*2020-11-11, version 11.0.0*

My program gives us assignments of specific questions that we need to complete as a requirement for our education. These assignments show up on the desktop version but not in the app. I do the vast majority of my studying on my phone (like with UWorld) - PLEASE make these assignments available in the app.

### 3/5 — No “assignments” tab

*2020-07-17, version 9.0.1*

My residency assigns questions in MKSAP. There is no way to review and complete assignments. Simply no option for it. This really limits my use of the app. Please please please fix as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — Landscape mode broken!

*2020-07-12, version 9.0.1*

Since update the landscape mode is broken.  App is good except that it remains in portrait mode.  Please fix this!

Landscape works now!  Thank you for the fix!

### 5/5 — Screen does not rotate on iPad

*2020-07-11, version 9.0.1*

MKSAP is great but it’s annoying that the screen does not rotate on the iPad.

### 4/5 — Not able to rotate the screen

*2020-07-10, version 9.0.0*

After the most recent update, the application does not rotate the screen to be able to view in landscape mode.
