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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Update please *2015-12-03, version 2.2.0* Waiting for an update to allow use for Spring Fellowship Match. ### 2/5 — doesn’t work on iOS8 *2014-09-24, version 2.1.0* worked great on iOS7. once updated to iOS8 couldn’t filter by state/program. has great potential, but useless until bug is fixed. ### 2/5 — Fix the bug! *2014-09-23, version 2.1.0* Please fix the bug that causes the app to freeze when narrowing down programs to add. The app is nearly useless at this point because I don't have time to scroll through every program for every specialty in the country. If fixed I would rate highly! ### 2/5 — Great Idea, but Broken App *2014-09-19, version 2.1.0* This app would be a HUGE benefit to me as I go through the application process for entrance into an EM residency starting in 2015. Unfortunately, it has a HUGE bug that makes the app unusable. On the "add programs" tab, if you try to narrow down the list by speciality or location, a blank box appears at the bottom and the entire app freezes up. The only way to add programs is to scroll through the massive list of every specialty and every location in the entire US. This is not practical. Please fix and you'll have a 5-star app! Thanks!! ### 2/5 — A few kinks... *2014-09-16, version 2.0.0* Seems like a very helpful app in terms of keeping track of interviews, but not all the programs show up through the search. Please get an updated list of programs and double-check it against ERAS! Thanks. ### 2/5 — Good, but outdated *2014-06-28, version 1.1.12* Needs to be updated. Excited to use it for 2015. ### 3/5 — Decent but needs improvement *2013-11-06, version 1.1.8* Decent app, like the rating system... But you need an ipad app, who will do all this over the phone? And at least a way to sync between ipad and iPhone. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Effectively non-functional *2019-11-22, version 2.8.50* Can't select criteria to even add programs to the list ### 1/5 — Don't have speciality match for fellowships *2017-08-24, version 2.4.6* Poor product not ipdated ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work *2015-06-30, version 2.1.6* This app doesn't let you select the Main Residency Match and hasn't for weeks since I first downloaded it. So essentially it is no use because you can't view any of the programs. ### 1/5 — Update medical specialties matching program *2015-06-20, version 2.1.6* This app would be very useful, but the information for the medical specialties matching program (IM fellowships) has not been updated and you cannot select that particular match. The application season is about to get into full swing, and this app would be very helpful if it gets updated! ### 1/5 — Perfect if it worked *2014-09-25, version 2.1.0* This app was a dream on iOS 7. But now that I have the iPhone 6 with iOS 8, it's horrible and useless. When you try to add a program, a blank box appears if you try to sort by state or specialty and the whole app is frozen. Without a fix it's junk. ### 1/5 — Would be awesome if it worked *2014-09-22, version 2.1.0* Cannot select specialty or state - makes it impossible to add programs. Otherwise looks super helpful if they fix this ### 1/5 — Not working properly *2014-09-19, version 2.1.0* On ios 8 the app is near useless. You can not sort the programs by specialty or by location. When you try to do so a blank box opens and the app freezes. ### 1/5 — Doesn't have fellowship lists *2013-10-09, version 1.0.0* Only offers residency programs there is no fellowship list ### 2/5 — Bug! *2014-10-31, version 2.1.1* The app is neat and informative. You get to know the number of spots in each program and other info easily. Also your interview schedule can be added and viewed. One major bug - my scheduled interview dates were changed by the app!! I had to edit all of them again. Please fix it and I'll improve my rating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great tool *2014-12-18, version 2.1.3* Allows you to quantify each interview experience ### 5/5 — Great Effort!! *2013-09-11, version 1.0.0* Though I just started using the app, first impression is its an awesome resource to consolidate your research for the Residency programs. Though they haven't included program requirements section and some of the links are missing too! But i am sure they will be working on it. All I can say right now is THANK YOU! ### 4/5 — Excellent *2015-12-21, version 2.2.0* great app, my rankings are exactly in line with what my "mental" ranklist would be. Something to improve: I would allow applicants to weight the rating categories differently (eg if I could weight "personality of residents" a 5 and "academic medical center" a 2 ### 4/5 — Handy but needs more export *2015-09-17, version 2.1.9* The app allows export of average ratings, but because I would like to see and manipulate all this data on my computer, it would be much better if all the app data can be exported as csv, including interview status and dates, ratings for individual and custom factors, and notes! ### 4/5 — Good *2015-01-12, version 2.1.4* Good info to have available, especially the timeline. Needs a countdown to Match Day though! Like the one on the website. ### 4/5 — Medicalopedia gives 4-star *2013-10-04, version 1.0.0* We recommend this app for all applicants in the match with a four star rating, just because it can be improved a little! Anyhow hard work paid off! Keep it up! ### 3/5 — Great concept for app, not updated *2022-08-11, version 2.8.90* Still not updated for 2023 match ### 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 ### 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 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
