### 5/5 — I wish I knew about this app earlier

*2023-03-21*

This app is a must have for anybody applying for residency. It’s quick and easier to navigate through all the programs during the application process vs using ERAS. You really need to invest some time during application season and research each program before applying, and this app is extremely helpful.

### 3/5 — Great concept for app, not updated

*2022-08-11, version 2.8.90*

Still not updated for 2023 match

### 1/5 — Programs for main residency match do not populate

*2019-12-14, version 2.8.50*

Unable to find or rank any programs in the main residency match. There is a bug which means that main residency match can not be selected as the preferred match to curate a program list for.

### 3/5 — New update ruined notes

*2019-11-26, version 2.8.50*

The notes function now makes your text white on a white background and you can’t decipher anything.  Disappointing mid way thru interview season

### 1/5 — Effectively non-functional

*2019-11-22, version 2.8.50*

Can't select criteria to even add programs to the list

### 3/5 — Needs Dark Mode compatibility

*2019-11-17, version 2.8.50*

Can’t select a speciality or view program info in Dark Mode. Once this is fixed the app will be a lot more useful

### 3/5 — Needs improvements

*2019-11-04, version 2.8.50*

Some programs cannot be found from the listing. On the “interview” section, starting times should be fixed at the time zone where the interview will be actually conducted, not the time zone where users input information.

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2018-09-27, version 2.8.9*

It’s not the most user friendly app. There should be more ways to sort your programs, such as by low/mid/high tier, which have offered you interviews, etc. Also, I assumed the app would come with a calendar that clearly shows you which dates you’re interviewing so you can quickly refer to it when scheduling but it’s also missing that. Hopefully it will be more helpful when making the rank list but not so much when scheduling interviews.

### 1/5 — Don't have speciality match for fellowships

*2017-08-24, version 2.4.6*

Poor product not ipdated

### 3/5 — Needs updated

*2016-10-09, version 2.4.1*

New programs have been added since this app was made. Please update with the current available programs.
