Do Not Use

If you take a screenshot to look something up, the screenshot gets detected and your account gets locked. You should use the browser instead.

Thank you for your feedback. To help protect exam content, screenshot restrictions apply only during the test-taking portion of the app — this isn't intended to lock you out of the app entirely. If this happens, simply relaunch your test to continue. If you're still running into issues, please reach out to our support team at support@uworld.com with more details so we can assist you.

Please stop the video auto play after logging into the app.

It is not convenient to enable an auto play of the Video

Thank you for the feedback, and we're sorry for the inconvenience the video autoplay has caused! Could you please reach out to support@uworld.com with a few more details so that it helps our team look into disabling or adjusting the autoplay behavior for you.

Great content; poor software.

I enjoy studying from an iPad and found the app a great feature of the u world program. The study content is great the ability to make flashcards on the go is very helpful. I like the way to study plan is set up to help you reach your goal date. One issue I’ve been having is that every time I open the app and log in, I have to try three or four times before I can access the study material. I’ve used other study apps and never had an issue like this. Another thing is that the video lectures tend to lag behind the audio. I also wish these lectures could be put on auto play, so you can move from one to the next without having to go back to the main screen. I look forward to an update that will fix these bugs.

We are working on enabling the auto play soon. If you continue to experience any issues, please contact our support team—we’ll be happy to help.

It’s great when it works

It’s great to be able to study on the go but half the time it won’t let me log in or I can’t get the videos to load

Very Buggy

The app is fine when it actually works. The video lectures cut out and buffer randomly which is super annoying. Sometimes you need to restart the entire app just to get the video to keep playing. The videos also restart from the beginning when you press the pause button. The app is also very unresponsive, you have to touch the screen multiple times usually just to get to a different page.

Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback—we’re really sorry for the frustration this has caused. We’ve identified the issues affecting video playback and responsiveness, including buffering and restart behavior, and our team is actively working on a fix. These improvements will be included in an upcoming release. We truly appreciate your patience and feedback as it helps us make the app better.

audio on lectures cutting off

The audio is constantly muted after 30-50 seconds and when I reached out to support, they keep on saying that they do not have any report of the issue so I am lucked out/use laptop instead of Ipad… Surely if you don’t help out people with the issue, you wont have any “reports”. It could be Apple that caused this issue with OS 26.1 but it is very clear that Uworld doesn’t care about the app.

Incorrect App Description

In the app information description, it mentions the study planner accessible on the website. However, this isn’t feature isn’t available on the actual phone app. If the study planner from the website gets integrated into the app, my review would change into a 5 star.

Basic

This app feels very basic. They have added some much needed updates such as listening to videos in the background. However, the biggest annoyance which hinders my progress is the buffering and the videos dropping audio. I download these videos offline and they STILL buffer and drops the audio while the video continues to play.

Study Plan

This is a great program but I wish that the app version had the study plan view.

Pausing video restarts

Pausing a video in this app restarts the video from the beginning and does not save your place. When you are 30 minutes into a video and need to pause, it is a massive time waster to guess where you were at when you hit pause. Please fix this. It makes videos unwatchable

App is too basic; useless textbook

My main concern with this iPad app is that the textbook has tons of extra spaces inside words, splitting them into multiple pieces - the textbook is almost impossible to read, it’s useless. I do not have this issue on the website.

It would also be nice to have a night mode or sepia option for the textbook, after fixing the text of course.

Videos not loading

Even if you pre-download videos, there is no practical way to watch them on the go, only working with Wi-Fi connection on your mobile device

Video freeze all the time

Because of the large data size, or slow internet speed, video freeze all the time. So it is so stressful to study with this app.

Buggy

Works for the most part, but can be very buggy - I was unable to log in or submit the exams at times. I also wish we were able to download the textbook for offline viewing.

A lot of errors

There are a lot of errors when trying to play a video clicked from question solution, error in making notes ,error after trying submitting exams, I should note that the calculator in the test is a brilliant idea but it takes the whole screen it would be better if it’s a little smaller.

I wouldn’t recommend

Issues they should fix

You can’t download multiple videos.

There is no auto-play for the lessons, so don’t expect to be able to listen to the lecture during your commute.( unless you plan on looking at your phone while driving to change lessons every 8 minutes)

You can’t scroll on some images in the quizzes as it will just take you to the next question.

You can’t shuffle all the flashcards . Can only be viewed by chapter.
