Trash App

Locking credentials don’t work. For as much as Themis charges, they should be utterly embarrassed.

Below UWorld Expectations

As a former medical student in the US, I can’t believe I am dogging on a UWorld-built app. I’m studying for the United States bar examination, and this might be one of the worst applications I’ve downloaded onto my iPhone in probably 10 years. When I was a medical school almost 6 years ago, UWorld was known by everybody; now, I don’t recognize it.

We’re sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet your expectations, especially given your previous positive experience with UWorld. We appreciate your feedback and are continuously working to improve the app’s performance and usability. If you’re willing, please contact our support team at support@uworld.com with more details so we can better understand the issues you encountered and address them.

Given the amount I paid for Themis bar prep, the way this app doesn't work 90% of the time is nuts

It prompts me to log in, and then keeps loading/spinning indefinitely. Like for 10+ minutes. Or it tells me my credentials are invalid. It's not an internet issue

Never ending App bugs

I have to try and sign in at least 3-5 times (sometimes more) to just get into the app. It’s a hassle to navigate and it often glitches. It would be helpful to use this app more but it’s such a nuisance that I’d rather not.

Never works

Login attempts fail about 80% of the time with no explanation. Cannot plan around using the app to study since it’s seemingly random whether it will open at all or not.

App does not work

App won’t even go past login screen. Deleted and re-installed app, but still doesn’t work. Very disappointing.

Horrible.

For as much money as you pay for bar prep you should be able to use the app without constant errors. I can’t even log in without there being 5 errors before it actually logs me in.

Would give 0 if I could

Won’t even log me in. Expected better for the massive price tag on a bar prep course.

Stopped Working

The app suddenly stopped allowing me to log in. The problem is far reaching and affected everyone at my school.

Doesn’t Work 70% of the Time

I’m a July ‘26 bar taker. The app doesn’t work 70% of the time. You open the app, it prompts you to log in, and when you try, it either (1) spins forever and ever without ever loading the app, or (2) tells you you have invalid credentials even though you’re logging in on your laptop with the same credentials. Upon a little research on Google and Reddit and Twitter, this has been an ongoing and pervasive issue for 90% of Themis users for years, and they still never fix the bug. Occasionally, you can restart your iPad or iPhone and switch WiFi networks and get into the app on the fifth login attempt. But this is unacceptable for a $2000 bar prep course. It’s advertised as being available on mobile, but the mobile “availability” is in effect none. And I find the fact that Themis is aware of the issue and has been for some time to be incredibly dishonest in their advertising to students at law school presentations. If I would have known I was going to be tethered to my laptop at a desk all summer instead of able to listen to lectures at the gym or doing housework, I would’ve bought Barbri. And if you try to talk to Themis about it, they just give you the runaround and pass the buck to UWorld (“oops we can’t do anything sorry”).

Too buggy to work

This app won’t even let me log in, my account is fine and works on a desktop but I wanted to have the flashcards on my phone but no matter what I do I’m stuck at the beginning log in screen.

Unable to log in

I go to the log in and it says that my password is wrong, it then directs me to the webpage, where I am able to log in with the same username and password.

Customer Service Unresponsive

I had a free trial. I received and email from their marketing team saying they extended my free trial. I went to login and it said I couldn’t. I replied to their marketing teams email. It bounced back. So I’m now thinking this may be phishing or a scam. I emailed support@uworld. They responded that I need to email Themis. I then forwarded all emails to Themis and asked if the extension was real and why I couldn’t access my account. No response after 3 days. This isn’t good customer service at all. I’m disappointed.

Bug fixes improve app

The UWorld devs have fixed the audio dropping out issue, and added a listen in background feature that you can opt into or out of. These changes improve the app a lot. Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear the recent updates, including the audio improvements and background listening option, have made a positive difference to your experience. We appreciate your support and will continue working to make the app even better.

Videos are broken

I primarily use uworld on desktop, but I downloaded the app so I could listen to the videos. Unfortunately, the videos are really buggy. Sometimes they work ok, but for most of my experience every few minutes the audio will get garbled and/or then stop entirely while the video is still playing. Closing the app (including clearing it from background) will fix it, but this is highly impractical to do every few minutes. Videos can play in the background which is nice, but they still run into the above issues. Unfortunately, it will only play the video audio in the background and not the minimized video in the corner. Glad I spent a few grand on this.

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.

Disappointment in the app

Glitches, errors, and annoying pop ups. This normally website works great. The app not so much. Get ready for some bugs. Some annoying pop ups include news updates for things like flash card maintenance for some of their other products like medical preparation. They need to do a better job with the user experience and making sure that this is solely for legal prep. However, it’s still a usable app and it delivers the content, but I just wish it was much more smooth.

This feedback is just for the app

This feedback is just for the app and not the contents of the bar review. I see from the old reviews that the audio has been reported but it’s already 2026 and it seems that the problem is still the same. The audio of the lectures has been cutting in and out. It’s really disappointing. Other than that the contents are good.

Terrible

The UWorld app sucks. I’m using Themis for a bar review, and did in the past (passed a different bar exam). In the past, the Themis app was decent. The new UWorld one is terrible. Even if I download a video, the video will endlessly buffer as if trying to connect to the Internet. It makes no sense. Even when connected to the Internet, the sound constantly cuts out, but the video will keep playing.
