### 4/5 — Please stop the video auto play after logging into the app.

*2026-07-09*

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

**Developer response:** 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.

### 2/5 — Great content; poor software.

*2026-05-29, version 5.0*

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.

### 2/5 — It’s great when it works

*2026-05-27, version 5.0*

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

### 2/5 — Very Buggy

*2026-01-25, version 4.7.1*

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.

### 2/5 — So many errors

*2025-09-28*

Overall is great but too many errors occur and couldn’t save for many times.

### 2/5 — Incorrect App Description

*2025-08-29, version 4.5.1*

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.

### 2/5 — Basic

*2025-05-29, version 4.5*

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.

### 3/5 — Study Plan

*2025-01-30, version 4.3.1*

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

### 2/5 — Pausing video restarts

*2025-01-27, version 4.3.1*

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

### 2/5 — App is too basic; useless textbook

*2024-11-30, version 4.3.1*

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.

### 2/5 — Videos not loading

*2024-07-31, version 4.2.2*

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

### 2/5 — Video freeze all the time

*2024-07-29*

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.

### 4/5 — Great except ….

*2024-07-25, version 4.2.2*

The app is great just wish the study plan was available through the app

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2024-05-16, version 4.2.1*

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.

### 3/5 — A lot of errors

*2024-05-14, version 4.2.1*

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.

### 2/5 — I wouldn’t recommend

*2024-05-08, version 4.2.1*

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.

### 2/5 — Delete & Re-Download

*2024-03-22, version 4.1*

Will not function properly when attempting to use after timing out from previous session. Must delete and download every time the app is used. Therefore it’s not convenient to use as apps should own convenience.

### 2/5 — The videos freeze quite often

*2024-03-19*

The videos freeze quite often and the UX has to be upgraded to 2024 standards. I tried the app in 2 devices but the same issue persists overtime.
I hope this gets resolved and have an app that keeps us more engaged without technical issues.

### 3/5 — Auto Play to Next Video Not Available

*2024-03-17, version 4.1*

Sometimes I want to just listen to lectures. It would be nice to auto play to next lecture instead of declining to take Test after every lecture. Can there be a feature dedicated to just the lectures?

### 3/5 — Orientation on videos

*2023-12-09, version 4.01*

The orientation on the videos will not change to landscape. It remains in portrait when you turn the phone to the side. It is very hard to see on your phone. If you can’t put the video on landscape because the words are too small. Please fix thank you.

### 2/5 — Glitch City

*2023-11-07, version 4.0*

I used the app to listen while walking. It consistently stops playing, or it keeps the video playing while audio disappears. Which means usually having to pull out my phone and restart the app in order to get sound back. Try that around 4 times per half hour walk and you’ll start to wonder what the Becker app is like.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ebook does not work

*2026-05-25, version 5.0*

Fix the Ebook functionality on mobile and it’s 5 stars.

### 1/5 — audio on lectures cutting off

*2025-11-23, version 4.7*

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.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-08-10, version 4.5.1*

Don’t waste your money

### 1/5 — Good Study Course - terrible app

*2024-03-16, version 4.1*

This app is infuriating. Videos will continue playing but the audio and video freezes. Impossible to listen to this while traveling.

### 1/5 — S@cks compared to Wiley

*2023-12-07, version 4.01*

Can only watch videos in portrait mode. Dont waste your money!!! Use an other software. Too bad for me Wiley sold to Uworld!!!

### 1/5 — Advertised Features Not Working

*2023-12-04, version 4.01*

-Video no longer works in landscape mode (it’s not my phone’s settings)
-No option to download video
-App is very glitchy overall. I have an iPhone 15.

### 1/5 — Shockingly Bad

*2023-11-21*

- You can’t download videos
- You can’t read the textbook in landscape mode and if you increase the font size to a readable level you have to scroll left and right for each sentence because they are using a pdf like format, rather than something that can adapt to your screen. And the  textbook doesn’t save your spot, which doesn’t really matter since the textbook is pretty much unusable.

 I’m only using this app because UWorld acquired Wiley. I pad a lot of money for it, and I’m getting an app that could be created in an afternoon. I hope there is a lawsuit.

If you haven’t purchased this yet, go with someone else. You would be much better off buying a few used college textbooks for fraction of the cost than going with UWorld/Wiley.

### 1/5 — Trash app, I want a refund

*2023-11-19, version 4.0*

So trash, I payed a ton for this course and needed these videos to work for me while I’m studying on the go. The videos never work despite being connected to wifi or high speed data. Everything about it is trash and I wish I never spent my money on Roger CPA. Please save your money.

### 1/5 — Infuriating

*2023-03-31, version 3.1*

Please for the love of all things holy make the toolbars easier to hide

### 1/5 — Big Bug

*2022-08-26, version 2.8.1*

I can’t download any video lectures as of the last update!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Review

*2023-08-13, version 3.2.2*

Whoever I want to change a different subject, I keep receiving a notification that there’s a technical error. I find it very annoying. I love UWorld Roger cpa so far! Please fix the app! There were times I want to study on the app whenever I don’t feel like using my laptop.

### 5/5 — Amazing Review App

*2021-10-18, version 2.6*

It’s so cool to get the best materials for you to prepare for the CPA Exam.

### 5/5 — The app is a great tool for studying!

*2021-09-27, version 2.6*

The U World Roger CPA Review app is great because it is very similarly designed to what the online portal is. Also, you can listen to lectures whenever you are on the go! The mobile flash cards is the best part of the mobile app in my opinion. It really elevates how you can study on the go, and with the smart technology the flash cards only teach you what you need to know, not what you already know. Roger is a great teacher and his lectures never bore me that is why I can even listen to them on the go in the car!

### 5/5 — Convenient way to review CPA content

*2021-08-12, version 2.6*

It’s really convenient for people to review CPA related infor, and it’s system makes the learning more efficient.

### 5/5 — Easy As Sunday Morning

*2021-04-11, version 2.4*

Great App. Easy to maneuver. Convenient. No complaints.

### 5/5 — On the go!

*2021-03-09, version 2.4*

I am constantly on the go and a lot of the time it can be a hassle to pull out my computer, notebooks, etc. UWorld Roger CPA Review is even better with this mobile app! It is easy and organized, making studying a breeze. So thankful that they have this app alongside their review courses. The amount of resources they have given us to use is amazing. Thank you Roger!

### 5/5 — Excellent

UWorld Roger CPA review offers extensive support and resources for those looking to become CPAs. Their robust program is impactful and data driven!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-12-29, version 2.4*

I love how motivated is Roger when teaching! I would love if the RogerCPA review allow more than 36 questions in a trestle.

### 5/5 — Roger is the Man!

*2020-12-19, version 2.3.1*

Love the structure of his courses and the overall strategy recommended for each section of the CPA exam. His high energy teaching style will keep you engaged even when covering the more “dry or boring topics”

Not to mention the extensive library of practice questions(MC & TBS)that really helps retain the necessary information needed to pass the CPA exam. 

Roger is the man!

### 5/5 — Awesome Course!

*2020-10-25, version 2.3.1*

I used Roger to prepare me for the tough CPA exams. It was a great choice. I recently passed all 4 parts! I would recommend Roger to anyone that wants to successfully pass the CPA exams. The app is very user friendly and was key to enable me to study on the go!
