### 2/5 — Login

*2026-02-11, version 3.0.3*

Need to figure out how to login without having to divert to separate tab/outside of app

### 2/5 — Logging in every single time

*2026-02-07, version 3.0.3*

I enjoy the app, enjoy the questions, but having to login every single time I open the app is obnoxious.

### 2/5 — No persistent login

*2025-12-06, version 3.0.3*

Super annoying that login isn’t retained. I have to log in via a web browser every single time I open the app. Why? This isn’t a banking/financial app that needs such heightened security.

### 3/5 — Great…When it works

*2025-10-07, version 3.0.2*

The idea of a daily question is a great one. Overall, the questions are a bit of a mixed bag with difficulties widely ranging from novice to expert. The explanations are generally quite good. Every once in a while, there could be more detail on why a specific answer is incorrect. My biggest complaint, however, is that the app will frequently not allow me to login. This really only started occurring when the app began requiring login via web browser upon every start. You used to be able to login directly through the app. I’m not entirely sure why this changed, but it has certainly been a change for the worse. There are days where I cannot do the question because of this error.

### 2/5 — Broken with latest update

*2025-08-29, version 3.0.2*

The latest update required logging in and linking to the main website. It opens up the browser then the app to login. I’m often tempted to not complete the QOD because the app only logs me in successfully 1/3 of the time. It worked much better prior to the update.

### 3/5 — AAN.com log in flow

*2025-08-24, version 3.0.2*

The app is great, but it’s a pain having to log in through AAN every time instead of logging in directly through the app. I wish they would restore the app login to the way it was previously.

### 2/5 — New update making login difficult

*2025-08-22, version 3.0.2*

Since the most recent update 3.0.2, there is a new log in flow where it routes me to aan.com but then on iOS safari it routes me back to the app and says log in failed. I have tried logging in separately to aan.com on my safari which sometimes works, other times not. It is always hit or miss whether the app opens or not. This is not a good new feature and it makes log in significantly difficult. You still get two stars for the concept because the QoD is invaluable for board prep. However, this bug of not being able to log in needs to be smoothed out.

### 2/5 — Please fix log in

*2025-08-14, version 3.0.2*

New log-in system often does not work, and takes too long when it does

### 2/5 — Poor questions

*2025-05-29, version 3.0.1*

I overall like the convenience of the app, but after 20 or so questions, there has been a heavy weight towards pediatric neurology, neurosurgery and hospital acute care. Very little for us dedicated outpatient adult neurology physicians. No questions yet on Migraine, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, tremor, neuropathy, the bread and butter of neurology.

Update:
20 questions in and I really feel like this is a pediatric and hospital neurology app. Lots of zebras in these woods and little appropriate for the practicing outpatient general neurologist. 

Maybe this was designed for residents, but residents aren’t looking for SE CME.

### 3/5 — Notifications needs some work

*2023-11-12*

I’ve been using this app for quite some time and I absolutely love it. I ask my residents to make it a part of their daily tasks. 

The downside? Ever since iOS got updated to iOS 16, notifications bugged out and leads to the app crashing every time it’s launched by directly tapping on the notification. The only work around is launching the app directly.

### 3/5 — CME bug

*2023-07-06*

Unable to claim CME’s which is really frustrating; also wish app was more interactive.

### 1/5 — THE MOST BROKEN APP KNOWN TO MAN

*2023-04-29, version 1.8.0*

The app is the most broken. It doesn’t load for days. So there’s no such thing as a streak, it breaks and shuts down on its own, it loads for a long time, they make you sign in everytime which is ridiculous but the worst part, the most infuriating part is the fact that they have you pick the answer right, and they have a bit of an explanation of the correct answer but the app is so stupid you’ve picked the right answer and the explanation supports this BUT THEN THEY SCORE YOU WRONG BECAUSE THEIR APP SELECTED A WRONG ANSWER. like i pay you people so much money for membership and you cant even hire a BA computer science person to fix your app? its been trash for all the three years I've been using it. This app makes me want to smash my phone instead of learn a tidbit FIX IT.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2023-02-16, version 1.8.0*

I can see the question but the green banner at the bottom is unresponsive and I can’t see the answer choices (iPhone13mini). Good app in theory, poorly executed.

### 3/5 — Notification issue and Archive

*2022-12-30, version 1.8.0*

App will not open from notifications. I have open app manually. 

Additionally, the app runs very slow. I cannot access the archive (which a notification said was available).

I love the idea and the resource but functionally, this app needs more attention.

### 3/5 — Buggy notifications

*2022-11-03, version 1.8.0*

The app appears to crash whenever it is launched by clicking on any notification sent by the app. The only solution is to launch it directly instead. This issue is present on IOS 16.1.

### 1/5 — Slow and clunky

*2022-08-26*

This app needs work. It’s very slow to log in and to display the different screens such as the question archive. It’s also a shame that measurements are not given in SI units. It would also be good if the archived questions did not reveal the answers until a selection had been made

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — login

*2026-07-27, version 3.0.7*

routes you to the website, which prompts you to open the link in the app again

### 1/5 — Broken login flow

*2025-10-14, version 3.0.2*

Since update the login flow through the AAN website it’s hit or miss if it works. Last year as an AAN member.

### 1/5 — Log in faliure

*2025-10-10, version 3.0.2*

Hope they figure this out, been excited to try it and the idea seems very nice but whenever I tries to log in it keeps redirecting me to web page and then the app back and forth, it’s really frustrating

### 1/5 — Annoying login issues

*2025-09-23, version 3.0.2*

Ever since the recent change in the way logins are handled, it has become a repeatedly frustrating process, as the app redirects users to AAN’s webpage to login which at times fails and give out a login failure error. The app should be reworked in a way that logins are processed within the app, and does not require logging in every time the app is launched.

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2025-09-14, version 3.0.2*

Drop and roll I used to like the app when I could login. It’s silly. I have to keep logging in multiple times. But now I can’t login at all. Despite being a paying member. I have no way to submit any questions through the AAN website that I can see.

### 1/5 — Update is annoying

*2025-09-12, version 3.0.2*

Now it takes several times to log in and answer the question. Sometimes the log in fails. I hope the people who developed the app can fix this.

### 1/5 — Update unusable

*2025-09-03, version 3.0.2*

Since the update, I have been unable to login. It links to the website then immediately back to the app and comes up as invalid before I can enter anything.

### 1/5 — Login issues

*2024-08-16, version 2.1.2*

App doesn’t let you login.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-01-07, version 1.8.0*

It won’t show me the question when I press “view question” and the archive tab doesn’t work. Just put the questions up on a website or something.

### 1/5 — Stopped taking the answer

*2023-09-22, version 1.8.0*

Good if it works. Questions are great and well written. I just can’t submit the answer. I uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times. That did not fix the issues. 
One star rating for now.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2025-04-18, version 3.0.1*

I like apps that make you smarter and more effective

### 5/5 — In my top 3 most used apps

*2021-09-23, version 1.8.0*

Brilliant app, super helpful!!

### 5/5 — Format is Perfect

*2021-05-30, version 1.8.0*

I love the QOD format and interface for Apple iPhone. The appearance is clean, the diagnostic images are always clear and readable, and the app is user- friendly. Please do not change it.

### 5/5 — Neurology Knowledge Made Easy

*2020-05-05, version 1.0*

Keeps Neurology knowledge fresh during other rotations or responsibilities. Excellent interface.

### 5/5 — The best, yet not tried.

*2020-05-04, version 1.0*

👍🏼👍🏼

### 5/5 — Bite-sized CME

*2020-05-01, version 1.0*

It’s great to have multiple choice questions on the go!

### 4/5 — Good app, problem with CME certificate.

*2024-03-02, version 1.8.0*

Thank you for the app. I started using it a month ago, and it has been a great help in encouraging me to read. However, I recently encountered an issue when trying to claim my CME after completing 18 corrected questions. I filled out the feedback questionnaire and entered my email address, but I have yet to receive my certificate. I even checked my junk mail folder, but it wasn't there either. I hope you can assist me with this matter. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Images not visible

*2023-12-17, version 1.8.0*

Love this app but now I can’t see the images

### 4/5 — Very convenient way to get SA CME

*2021-04-23, version 1.8.0*

I like this app a lot, they’ve made some improvements to the image viewing and the answer explanations that have made it really high quality. Right it has a big where you can’t claim your CME, however, once they fix that it’ll be great again.

### 4/5 — Amazing idea

*2020-07-02, version 1.02*

Love the idea of a daily question to get in a routine to do a small degree of board prep regularly. Wish there was a feedback/help section within the app to provide some less important/picky feedback so I’m just putting it here. First one is that I keep getting reminder push notifications to do my daily question even if I already did the question, which is mildly annoying. Also if there was a way to stay logged in so you don’t have to go through the log in screen every time you open the app that would be so much better.

Lastly about the actual questions, as a newbie pgy2 resident I feel it would be nice if explanations went into a little more depth or at the very least provide a couple links to suggested readings/references on the topic. In addition, I feel that all incorrect answers deserve an explanation why they are wrong, makes the overall educational value of a single MCQ question much higher.

Overall I would still give 4 stars because it’s working great for me at this time, the questions are really good and it’s clear a lot of work was put into this already.
