### 1/5 — Still very buggy- why??

*2025-12-24, version 3.2.6*

Good interface overall, but still  gets stuck for a while on questions screens or freezes entirely nearly every time I use it. Also has been glitchy in terms of FaceID on the iPhone. The app minimizes or closes when I try to use FaceID most of the time. Hard to understand why it’s still this bad a few years into MOCA-Peds.

### 2/5 — Biometrics login button kills the app

*2025-11-30, version 3.2.6*

Biometrics login button kills the app

### 1/5 — Poorly functional

*2025-06-28*

Though the MOCA-Peds system is well thought out and the questions and answers helpful, the app is awful. Many issues for the past couple years with it freezing DURING timed test questions. Now, to really make the experience great— it crashes every time I open it. Even though I have the most up to date version of the app and of iOS. ABP needs to do better…

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2025-04-18, version 3.1.37*

Unable to login, can’t even get it to load

### 2/5 — Limited function

*2025-03-31, version 3.1.37*

Few things that are on the PC site are available here. Frustrating. I have not tried to take a quiz in the phone app, nor would I for fear it would not score correctly or drop a question.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-03-27, version 3.1.37*

With the recent update, the app is not working. I just get a bright white screen that never loads anything.

### 2/5 — Orientation

*2025-03-18, version 3.1.37*

Most of us use keyboards that place our iPads horizontally. This app can only used in portrait mode, which I suppose is fine if you’re walking around holding your device like a newspaper. The rest of us work at a desk where tapping is far easier in landscape. With all the dough flung into registering for this, one would think an app could function in both views. Oh well, it’s back to the website, I suppose…..

### 2/5 — Please fix

*2025-02-04, version 3.1.12*

Please fix this app. It works fine if you delete and reinstall, but it’s been more than a year that I’ve been using this and it’s still not fixed.

### 1/5 — Poor functionality— worse than usual lately

*2024-12-31*

The app keeps freezing such that it either 1) doesn’t let me select an answer choice or 2) doesn’t register that I’ve answered a question after I submit an answer. New phone and current version of iOS, so that’s not the issue.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2024-12-28, version 3.1.12*

This app is awful - it is impossible to access questions on safari on a mobile device so we are forced to use this app which has multiple deadends.  The name of the app is not abp so it is impossible to save a password.
