THANK YOU PICMONIC, you all are life savers!!! **Developer response:** We are pleased that you enjoyed the app. If there is anything we can do for you, just let us know at feedback@picmonic.com! Have a wonderful day! ### 5/5 — LifeSaver *2021-06-07* There is not a better product on the market! **Developer response:** Thanks for the 5-star review! Happy studying! ### 5/5 — The Easier Way to Learn *2021-06-02* It is amazing that I am learning and retaining more. The humorous Picmonics are visualized in my mind, allowing me review numerous details in a non-threatening manner. Who knew. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! We love to hear that Picmonic has been helping you to remember more. Happy studying! ### 5/5 — Refresher *2020-12-04* A can’t lose bet. Enjoy **Developer response:** We're so happy you are loving Picmonic! ### 5/5 — A better way to learning! *2020-04-19* It’s amazing, the way you study things you don’t even feel it because it’s very fun and interactive. You don’t get bored or tired of reading and doing same stuff. This is a more interactive way and fun to learn and remember things in a more easier and fun way. **Developer response:** We're so glad to hear that you are loving learning with Picmonic! You got this! ### 5/5 — Picmonic is a win! *2020-03-28* Everything about this app works well. I already see improvements to my exam scores after one week! The staff is extremely responsive to questions. This works seamlessly with Osmosis Uworld and First Aid. A Chief Resident ER Attending told me that a picmonic helped him make several obscure diagnosis under pressure. It’s a funny cartoon yes, but it sticks to your brain like a leach. Maybe saves lives. Great use of your time. **Developer response:** Wow! Thank you for this wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you are loving the platform. We're always here for you if you need anything! ### 5/5 — A slow start but they fixed it *2020-03-27* The developers reached out to me and got the issues resolved. They even upgraded my program to give me USMLE content. My frustration did not reflect the quality of the program itself, which is really pretty good. I think that having multiple layers of content predisposes to getting wires crossed. Anyway, I have revised my initial assessment and so far can give it five stars. It is not a full course in medicine, but it isn’t intended to be. It is a useful adjunct to your studies. It delivers high content in digestible packets. **Developer response:** Hi! We're so sorry to hear you've had a frustrating experience. Our main goal is to help students succeed, not to cause more stress in your lives. We're always here to help as much as we possibly can; will you please reach out to feedback@picmonic.com and we'll help resolve this asap! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — $200 lost *2024-10-02* I’m incredibly disappointed with Picmonic’s customer service. I was recently charged for a subscription renewal that I had no use for, and the company refused to offer any refund, hiding behind a rigid policy that seems more about increasing profits than supporting customers. Even small companies are more flexible with refunds. As a medical student managing limited finances, I expected more understanding, especially from a company that markets itself to students. Based on this experience, I won’t be recommending Picmonic to any of my classmates or colleagues. ### 1/5 — Frustrating BUGS, EXPENSIVE, and lack of information *2024-02-26* They say they have more videos than competitors but their videos are way shorter than the competitors and they are missing a ton of important stuff. A lot of the information is very basic and won’t give you the depth of knowledge needed for lecture or boards. It is also frustratingly filled with bugs and after a while of using it keeps giving me issues. Edit: Significant bugs continue even after the latest update and I can’t even access the content more than half of the time when I am connected to high speed internet. This is frustrating considering the hundreds of dollars I pay for the subscription ### 1/5 — No nurse practitioner category *2020-09-23* Consider adding nurse practitioners to your categories. **Developer response:** Hi there! We do have Picmonic for Nurse Practitioners! Here's a link so you can check it out: https://www.picmonic.com/pricing/nursing-np ### 2/5 — Frustrating bugs and lack of information *2024-02-13* They say they have more videos than competitors but their videos are way shorter than the competitors and they are missing a ton of important stuff. A lot of the information is very basic and won’t give you the depth of knowledge needed for lecture or boards. It is also frustratingly filled with bugs and after a while of using it keeps giving me issues. ### 2/5 — Love it, but *2021-03-02* You can’t upgrade to the premium version, it errors out! **Developer response:** Thanks for bringing this to our attention! Please reach out to us via feedback@picmonic.com or the chat widget if you are still experiencing problems upgrading to premium. ### 5/5 — Free picmonic per day *2025-12-05* Please revive the option of watching one big Monic per day for free users. I have been a loyal and regular subscriber of Monic for four years straight but now that I have passed my college degree and into clinical practice. I just don’t find it feasible to play with ledge amount once again but reviewing Monic once every other day helps in memory retention I hope you understand ### 5/5 — Picmonic Review *2025-07-22* Studying for medical exams can be tricky. Not everything is covered. Can I get this right? This might be wrong. What can I do to prepare? Picnomic is the right place for us to learn new mnemonics. It creates a new learning environment, feeding on new information and sources. ### 5/5 — Es lo mejor *2024-01-31* Es la mejor herramienta para aprender, repasar y recordar conceptos claves en medicina ### 5/5 — Grateful *2023-05-24* I love it ….. thank you for whoever’s involved making this I appreciate a lot ❤️ ### 5/5 — Dr amit kumar dubey *2022-05-16* Ohh it’s amazing memory aid application …the one you really need for last time revision ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Surprisingly satisfied! *2022-04-04* When my med school offered us a discount on this, I thought it was just a knock-off of Sketchy. I am happy to say I was wrong! I am about to start my dedicated board prep and I got so tired of Anki, board-style Qs and PPT lectures. This does not replace those but it offers such a great brain break. It’s helping me review a lot quickly and for it to stick, too. I am using Picmonic and Qs only atm and I feel it was a worthy investment (as someone who is not a dedicated slave to Anki). (Tho there are Anki cards to go with the Pic sketches if you wish!) ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2022-02-13* It’s so helpful!!! ### 5/5 — Well done mind images. Thank you *2022-01-08* Well done mind images. Thank you ### 5/5 — Not updating my Picmonic progress *2021-11-11* At the end of each Picmonic my app (iOS latest version) is still showing “0 facts learned” even after completing the educational/story videos and quizzes. **Developer response:** Hi EB, our tech team is currently working on this and should have a fix deployed next week. Please know that the facts are being counted as "learned", there is just a small bug that is showing "0 Facts Learned" on the quiz results screen. The tech team will have a fix in the next app update, so be on the lookout for that! Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Awesome application *2021-10-25* Really recommended! **Developer response:** Thank you for the 5-star review!
