### 3/5 — Interface Improved; Still Overly Verbose

*2026-07-13, version 2.0.21*

The developers have improved the topic navigation significantly since earlier this year. However, most of the explanations for the questions are still stuffed to the gills with verbose AI-speak.

### 3/5 — Difficult to navigate lessons

*2026-06-20, version 2.0.16*

With this latest update and increase in subscription price, I expected a better user experience.

On the mobile app, you are kicked out of the topic you were on after each lesson. You have to physically go back to browse and find the topic again. Also the lack of a search  or "last topic used" feature is disappointing.

I've been using Ollivate for over 8 months.

### 4/5 — Excellent, but pricey for SRNAs.

*2026-06-07, version 2.0.13*

Love the app. It's a great resource, and I've started using it to prepare for the SEE exam. 

The only critique is the price for SRNAs. I understand it takes a lot of time and effort to make this product, but it's pricey for an SRNA who already has to pay for many required materials. Maybe an annual discount on the yearly subscription on Black Friday???

### 3/5 — New update

*2026-05-29, version 2.0.10*

Not a fan of the new update. Would love to go back to the old. I really liked the old version. I’ll probably cancel my subscription cause I just can’t get around the new version

### 2/5 — New Interface Sucks

*2026-05-17, version 2.0.7*

I liked the old interface a lot! It allowed me to more easily move around and was way less clunky. This new update is hard to look at ans harder to navigate. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK. Otherwise I’ll probably just stick to Apex for board prep

### 4/5 — CRNA

*2026-05-02, version 1.21*

Very nice app.  Much more enjoyable than the death by PowerPoint or read the article and guess what we are gonna ask formats.. Some data is a little superficial but overall good review.  I learned new stuff after practicing for 20+ years.. hope you continue to expand your subjects.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-02-28, version 1.21*

Super helpful to review major anesthesia principles and physiology. Great questions, rationale, and a fun competitive atmosphere.

### 5/5 — Great review

*2026-02-22, version 1.21*

This app has been great to supplement my studying as an SRNA. Questions are straight forward and test factual knowledge. Love the spaced repetition format as that’s proven to help with retention. All rationale is provided for each question with textbook resources that are common in anesthesia school. As another reviewer mentioned, you can’t see the entire subject when just hovering, but you can hold down on the tile and then see the entire name of the subject. I do wish there were discounts for students as the annual price is a bit steep.

### 3/5 — Good, but could use some improvements

*2025-12-23*

I like the concept of boards review as a game, but I do have some critiques of the app. 

- I don’t like having to guess what topic I’m working on. The app only displays a couple of letters for the topic. For example, pharmacology topics will show only “Anti-“… and you’re like, anti what? Antibiotics? Anticoagulants? Antiemetics? I keep waiting for this to be fixed. I wanted to work on neuromuscular blockers but could not find it. This greatly limits the app’s utility, IMO. 

- I don’t like that some of the questions seem to be AI-generated nonsense. Extremely verbose for no reason. It’s clear that a lot of the questions are not written by humans. 

- Some of the questions and rationales are not evidence-based. The app goes on and on about the risk of bronchospasm with histamine-2 antagonists. This is not a thing. I’ve literally given Pepcid thousands and thousands of times over my career, probably to many asthmatics, without issue.  It’s not supported by literature. At all. 

- Many of the questions are very low-tier, and test only surface-level knowledge. Not the same level of complexity as APEX. 

- Over all, the app is a great concept, but seems like they got a little lazy.

**Developer response:** Great feedback!  We feel the pain of most of what you mentioned and we're working on all of it.  Our questions are reviewed daily by our item-writers, usually dozens at a time.  Unlike a static platform, our content is constantly updated, so questions that need to be changed or removed, are.  

Our UI/UX experience has big update coming soon, so what you've experienced (not being able to see the topic headings completely), should be resolved. In the meantime, did you know that if you press and hold any topic on the map screen it shows you the full name?  That might help you.

You make a great observation about some of the questions being easier; that's on purpose.  Mixing of topics and difficulty is a helpful learning practice.  Just like most standardized exams, questions are tiered, and we replicate that methodology. You don't want every question to be really hard or really easy; you need a variety.

I can promise you one thing: we aren't lazy. Our team is working tirelessly to create the most effective and evidence-based learning tool out there, and our early results are very impressive.

### 1/5 — Useful but doesn’t work half the time

*2025-11-25, version 1.18*

I think that the idea of this app is amazing, and it’s so helpful but this app has not worked for the last 2 or 3 weeks. I expect it to work after spending 170 on the yearly subscription.
