### 3/5 — No Landscape View

*2023-01-06, version 1.3.1283*

As an iPad Pro user, it’s annoying to have to take my device off its keyboard in order to read notes. This is minor, but frustrating as it’s an extremely basic feature and a paid app. I also can’t find a way to save my downloaded notes on my iPad or close out of them without closing the entire app.

### 2/5 — Love OME, not the app

*2021-12-30, version 1.3.1283*

OME is fantastic and I love using it as a source. The iPad app, however, is not my favorite to say the least. Landscape mode please!

### 2/5 — Can’t download offline content

*2021-12-01, version 1.3.1283*

Would be helpful, but I can’t get any of the content to download for offline review!

### 2/5 — Flash cards glitches

*2020-10-28, version 1.1.1009*

Couple things here: 

1) app would stop randomly while reviewing flash cards maybe after 30-50 cards

2) wouldn’t be such a huge issue if we have an ability to come back where we were interrupted instead of swiping from the very beginning till card #457. 

Very inconvenient and time wasting

### 2/5 — No landscape view

*2020-10-18, version 1.1.1009*

I love the website and all the medical content that OME has but the app itself is horrible. How is there no landscape view for an app that primarily advertises its video content. Navigating is also very difficult.  Even when I logged in, it was as if it was stuck in a landscape screen but only worked in portrait. I had to guess if I was typing in the correct login info because it was off the screen.

### 2/5 — No landscape mode = sad med student

*2020-10-05, version 1.1.1009*

Seriously. Like every other review said: I love OME content through my membership on the site. Got excited when I saw the app but I only wanted to use it on my iPad, which is useless if it doesn’t switch out of portrait mode. I can’t even see videos full screen. Minor tweak and we’ll be happier med students please :)

### 3/5 — Often crashes

*2020-09-10, version 1.1.1009*

The idea is too shelf. The execution not so much. There’s nothing more irritating than doing flash card and having the app crash when you’re on your 200th or so. And having to speed swipe feverishly in order to pick up when you left off.

### 3/5 — No landscape mode??

*2020-07-31, version 1.1.1009*

I’m sure it’s not a big a deal for a phone, but not being able to use an iPad in landscape mode is really frustrating. Also, you can’t see any of the study schedules that you make on the website, so doing things on the go is a bit difficult. Being able to download the videos is super helpful though

### 4/5 — Works fine on iPhone

*2020-07-15, version 1.1.1009*

I mainly use the app to do practice q’s and watch videos in between surgeries during my rotation. The app works fine and I think its a great resource. However, OME is overpriced. The videos are free so the only added benefit you get from membership is practice questions and flash cards. And the flash cards are terrible. Model your flashcards after USMLE Rx’s Flash facts and i guarantee your membership numbers will triple, because med students are crackheads for some good flashcards

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2020-07-08, version 1.1.1009*

OME is a high standard as far as clinical education goes for medical school. The iPad app leaves a lot to be desired. The aspect ratio is off to the point where you can’t control much. The download feature doesn’t work well either

### 2/5 — I like it but

*2020-06-17, version 1.0.998*

It would be nice if it’s usable on the IPad and it’s unstable unfortunately

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work most of the time

*2020-05-15, version 1.0.998*

OnlineMedEd itself is great. But this app is not. I can’t even sign in most of the time. When I can sign in, it says it can’t sync with their servers. It’s great when it works, which is almost never.

### 2/5 — Constantly Crashing

*2020-04-14, version 1.0.998*

Apple app constantly crashing, did not have problems with android app. Please fix.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2020-03-31, version 1.0.998*

Overall app is great, but this version of the app is crashing all the time on my iPad.

### 3/5 — Buggy app

*2020-02-03, version 1.0.998*

App has a lot of problems. It performs better on ipad than before, but it still crashes randomly, has audio glitches, and drains my battery very quickly. 

It also in the last week quit working on my phone. I imagine that I will just reinstall the app to fix it, but I shouldn't have to deal with this in the first place.

### 1/5 — Good content, awful app

*2020-01-15, version 1.0.998*

A lot of people giving this app reviews are reviewing OME as a study tool and not the app itself. The app, as it stands right now, is virtually unusable (at least on iPad). 

1. Glitches like crazy. I had to force close the app several times before I could even sign in because the fields for email and password wouldn’t display. The app glitches when trying to open “prime” documents. 

2. When the prime documents are open, they are the only thing you can view in landscape. You can’t even see the whole video screen because it isn’t properly cropped natively to fit in portrait, and the app doesn’t flip into landscape. Seriously? This is quite literally the most basic feature of any app. 

3. You can’t download the prime documents directly onto the iPad as a PDF if you want to take you own notes on them. Download on Desktop, upload to iCloud, then open on iPad would be the only way and I haven’t even had time to try that yet. 

I’m sure there are other things I’m not remembering right now, but this app seems like it was released in mid development. And as a resource that would be really helpful to be able to use on the go, a poor app is as useful as none at all.

### 1/5 — Everytime crash while doing flash cards

*2019-12-06, version 1.0.979*

Can’t complete flash card, it crash in middle. And have to continue same things day by day.

### 1/5 — Clinical?

*2022-07-25, version 1.3.1283*

Can’t open topics by clinical on app. Only basic sciences. Which I no longer need…

### 1/5 — NEEDS A LANDSCAPE MODE

*2022-06-29, version 1.3.1283*

Needs an update ASAP

### 1/5 — App is completely unusable.

*2021-06-26, version 1.2.1156*

Doesn’t allow google log in. No landscape mode. Don’t bother downloading the app. You have to use it on a browser.

### 1/5 — POOR FOR IPAD

*2021-06-15, version 1.2.1156*

WHY IS THE APP NOT OPTIMIZED FOR IPAD???!!!!!!!!
WE NEED THE APP TO BE USABLE ON THE IPAD IN LANDSCAPE MODE. THE APP STAYS IN PORTRAIT MODE AND DOESN’T SWITCH. 1 star in my opinion.

### 1/5 — Content is awesome, but app lacks heavily for iPad users

*2020-09-05, version 1.1.1009*

OME in terms of its content is great! I unfortunately mainly use my iPad to do majority of the work. It would be nice to be able to use the app in landscape mode. Instead of having to go onto safari to watch the videos, do questions, flashcards, etc. Hopefully this can be added to a future update soon.

### 1/5 — Premium member, don’t waste your time downloading this app

*2020-08-05, version 1.1.1009*

I’m a premium member, OME is a excellent platform with a well explained content. But this app is awful. Hope they can update this app and invest money in a better app. We as a learner and premium subscriber deserve it.

### 1/5 — Video controls

*2020-07-22, version 1.1.1009*

You can’t easily fast forward or rewind when on iOS. You have to scrub with your finger. No double tap on the side of the video for forward/rewind.

### 1/5 — Great Content, Terrible App

*2020-05-06, version 1.0.998*

Honestly, I can’t even really rate the theory of the application because I can never get pass the login screen.  The app either force crashes as soon as I attempt to open it (and I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling), or it makes it to the log in page, but won’t connect to my account.
Love OME, wish I could actually use the app.  Would love to have access to the flashcards & Qbank through this.

### 1/5 — Horrible for iPad, mediocre for iPhone

*2020-04-12, version 1.0.998*

Cuts off both sides of the screen on iPad, no option or way to turn it landscape which makes it essentially unusable as you can’t see the video tools (including speed time or full screen). 
iPhone is okay, but I hate that the app has to be open for the audio and I cannot control the audio from the locked page like I usually can with other audios. 

Of course the content is good which is why i paid for premium to have the app

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2020-03-12, version 1.0.998*

This app is useless in ipad

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2020-07-18, version 1.1.1009*

Love the offline ability. Great company and great customer service.

### 5/5 — 100% updated for iPad!

*2019-11-06, version 1.0.979*

Updated to 5 stars. Please update your review if you, like me complained that this ap was incompatible with the iPad. You do need to download the latest version put out on 11/5/2019.

Content is awesome!

### 5/5 — Unbelievably helpful

*2019-06-20, version 1.0.922*

I have known the team at Online MedEd for a few years ago and their attention to detail is unparalleled. Think of this app as a one-stop-shop for preparing for the boards, and now you have no excuse do study EVERYWHERE you go. If I could give this app 10 stars, I would. Thanks a lot guys, you crushed it again.

### 5/5 — OME

*2019-06-17, version 1.0.922*

Great app and great resource for USMLE/COMLEX

### 5/5 — OMG!!! Finally!

*2019-06-17, version 1.0.922*

This is just perfect! Everything I need in one place PLUS I can use it offline. Incredible!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

Beautifully designed and user-friendly. I’m happy to have this content at my fingertips!

### 5/5 — Great!!!

Good job!!! Amazing :)

### 5/5 — A+++

*2019-06-14, version 1.0.922*

An amazing app for an amazing site.  Thank you OME, this is great!!!

### 4/5 — Good but needs improvement

*2022-02-25, version 1.3.1283*

I can’t exit out of notes or snapshots to go back to main page without exiting the app to renter the topic....also annoying that it’s not landscape every time I log in
