### 4/5 — Love USMLE-Rx, but the app could be better

*2026-04-13, version 4.24*

My biggest complaint is that there is no dark mode for the app when the website’s Bricks can be in dark mode. Otherwise, USMLE is an amazing resource for medical school. My school pays for it, so I get access for Step 1.

### 4/5 — Glitch on iPad

*2024-12-14, version 4.10*

When I’m doing Qmax it says there was an error and close the test. So I have to reopen the test every 2-3 questions. Fix it pls

### 4/5 — Q bank

*2024-08-15*

Q bank not fully visible on the app please look into the matter

**Developer response:** Can you let us know if you're still having issues with this?  Please contact us at info@usmle-rx.com — Thanks!

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2024-08-08, version 4.07*

The app is not very well supported on iPads, if you select a Qbank in a determined setting eg just biochemistry it will only tell you you have that amount of questions in total , unless you delete the app then download it again, then you’ll be able to do all the questions available

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2024-07-23, version 4.07*

Great study tool. Will like to use FF sideways on phone, but can’t for some reason.

### 4/5 — Too much information

*2024-04-18, version 4.06*

There are so much information and ways to use the app  i like the videos but i dont know how to use every single thing in the app and i cant find a tutorial on this so thats the only reason im taking one star off becuase its a bit overwhelming to a newcomer

### 2/5 — Not able to access full QBank

*2024-04-08*

Even after subscription, only 259 questions are available in total on this app instead.. I'm not able to reach support via email

**Developer response:** We're sorry you're having issues.  Could you send an email to info@usmle-rx.com and let us know what you're seeing?  Screenshots would be helpful.  Thanks!

### 3/5 — Log in issue

*2023-12-24, version 4.01*

keeps asking multiple times to sign in even with Face ID get into the app.

Wish there was offline access to videos and notes!! 

Otherwise great.

### 4/5 — 動作が安定している

*2023-11-28*

問題なく使用できています。

### 4/5 — Please add Dark mode

*2023-09-14*

It is not possible to activate dark mode on iPad or iPhone. On PC, dark mode can be activated manually, so we need the same feature on mobile devices.

### 4/5 — Excellent app

*2023-04-17, version 3.25*

This is a great resource with a seamless user interface. Everything is straight forward, and easy to access. I do have one wish though, that I can highlight points from the question using my Apple pencil if possible. I’m not sure if this feature already exists, maybe I just haven’t figured it out. Other than that, great app.

### 1/5 — Pause button for iPads

*2025-10-26, version 4.14*

The pause button on the bottom-right doesn’t seems to work for iPads, this been broken for years. Please fix

### 1/5 — Not good

*2024-05-13*

Even after payment questions and videos are inaccessible

**Developer response:** We're sorry that you had issues purchasing your subscription.  Please reach out to us at info@usmle-rx.com and we'll work to help you out.  Thanks!

### 1/5 — Scholar rx is trash

*2024-04-08, version 4.06*

Everyone who says this is the best thing ever or only praises it is benefitting from those statements financially. Do yourself a favor and use LITERALLY ANY OF THE OTHER ESTABLISHED RESOURCES. Boards and beyond, amboss, osmosis etc. there are so many mistakes in scholar rx, it is not worth the effort

### 1/5 — App not logging in

*2023-12-28*

My app is not logging in  in iPad . Only browser version  is available . I tried reinstalling and logging in but it doesn’t work. I raised the issue in app support but no response from your end. Hope you resolve the problem

### 1/5 — .

*2023-10-17, version 3.34*

Error message keeps popping up every time I try to search even though every else works fine.

### 1/5 — Can’t buy subscription from app

*2023-10-15, version 3.34*

I reported the problem and they kindly answered “have you tried from website?”

### 1/5 — Would have given a 5 star but

*2023-10-15, version 3.34*

The highlight function does not work all the time. Please fix this bug

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-08-26, version 3.31*

The app does not load when you try to sign in.

### 1/5 — This app can’t be log in

*2023-08-25, version 3.31*

I have an account w USMLE rx 360, and this app is supposed to log in, but it couldn’t log into my account from this app on both iPhone and iPad while it is normal log in from hp laptop, so I guess the issue is the app itself, not the account

### 1/5 — SMH

*2023-07-29, version 3.30*

Bruh the fact that I can’t search for a specific disease like asthma unless I search the whole subtopic like obstructive lung diseases for the page disease to come up is ridiculous.

If I don’t know the subtopic of the disease I’m looking for it won’t find it.

Also god forbid I spell the disease wrong by 1 letter I will get every topic that might relate to my search except for the specific disease I was looking for.

Fix your search engine shouldn’t be too difficult to just find the words I put in the search bar 

Thanks

### 5/5 — The best tool for USMLE preparation

*2026-08-07, version 4.27*

The best tool for USMLE preparation

### 5/5 — Very good

*2025-07-19, version 4.12*

Very good

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2025-05-13, version 4.11*

Never realized first aid could be so interactive and effective. It’s indeed a First Aid Express Train!

### 5/5 — If you were going to do medical school stranded on an island this is the one resource I would bring.

*2025-04-05, version 4.11*

My primary resource throughout med school. The only issue is that I can’t go to the video topic link on the app for iPhone/ipad

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2024-09-10, version 4.08*

This is an amazing learning app, but I think the lack on MacBook app could jeopardize the learning process, it is time to develop an updated Mac app.

### 5/5 — Amazing resource, but missing a feature …

*2023-10-13, version 3.34*

Scholar Rx is a “one-stop shop” for studying. It has everything you need to thoroughly understand difficult concepts … reading, flashcards, questions, videos! 

But this app is missing one feature thar I think would make it truly amazing … annotation option. 

I would LOVE the ability to take notes on the article and save it as a separate note. I’m a very visual/kinesthetic learner. Writing shorthand notes helps me retain info. If this is a feature that could be added into the app, then that would be wonderful! 😁

### 5/5 — Excellent Tool for Medical School

*2023-10-02, version 3.33*

I used this through my first and second year of medical school and nothing compares to the bricks that you get to read in here. They are updated frequently and are of top-notch quality. 

The fact that there are corresponding videos, flash cards, and usmle-style questions attached to the bricks, or you can review them separately based on the topic from the first aid review book, are a huge asset, especially if you don’t understand a concept from the brick right away.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2023-09-27, version 3.33*

This is a pretty good source to use with first aid, it literally has everything, I love the lectures it has a video for every page so it explains perfectly, English is not my first language and I can understand all of it, I think it’s pretty similar and maybe better than U world but way cheaper, so you get the best of both worlds !

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2023-09-14, version 3.32*

Amazing. The flash facts is a must when you study First Aid

### 5/5 — Glitches

*2023-04-06, version 3.25*

Too many glitches with the app
