Expected better for the massive price tag on a bar prep course. ### 1/5 — Stopped Working *2026-05-27, version 3.0* The app suddenly stopped allowing me to log in. The problem is far reaching and affected everyone at my school. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work 70% of the Time *2026-05-27* 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”). **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustration. This login issue has been resolved. Please update to the newest version of the app and try again. If you continue to experience any issues, please contact our support team—we’ll be happy to help. ### 1/5 — Too buggy to work *2026-05-25* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustration. This login issue has been resolved. Please update to the newest version of the app and try again. If you continue to experience any issues, please contact our support team—we’ll be happy to help. ### 2/5 — Customer Service Unresponsive *2026-04-28, version 2.6.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Videos are broken *2026-01-31* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 2/5 — This feedback is just for the app *2026-01-28* 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. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback—we’re really sorry for the frustration this has caused.

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. ### 1/5 — Freezes constantly, loses audio *2025-12-29* Even with a stable internet connection, the audio goes out constantly. The video and captions will keep playing, but the audio is silent. Also, went through a whole test and then lost about 1/3 of my work. This was on my home high-speed internet, where my kids are constantly streaming movies and playing VR, so no, not an internet connection issue. The web based version on the laptop seems to be fine but it’s nearly impossible to do anything on this app. Needs some major software updates to work out the bugs. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback—we’re really sorry for the frustration this has caused.

Never buying any Themis product again since they don have product that works *2025-12-29* App buggy af. Listening to video and audio cuts off I lose all momentum. I get frustrated and am no longer in any mood to study. Fix the god dam app with the money we pay u. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2025-12-23* The items on the app are very beneficial when they work. As others have said the videos will randomly stop playing sound and you’ll have to stop and hit play again. I tried seeking support with the app but they said redownload the app which the issue persisted so they said it was my WiFi, so I disconnected and it happened on cellular data. Then they said it’s my phone volume and I should use earphones to hear the video but I usually have earphones in. It happens with or without earphones and on WiFi or on cellular data. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — This App is Unacceptable *2025-12-21* You rarely can get anything done because it constantly crashes. Not only highly unreliable, but inconvenient and maddening for the cost!!!! ### 1/5 — Practically Unusable *2025-12-12, version 2.4.1* Videos constantly lose sound and must be restarted to resume audio. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-09-13, version 2.3.1* Can’t download videos as advertised. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-08-05* The log in issue is still not fixed. I have roughly 30 days before my final payment is due…maybe I need to use another bar prep company with better functionality. I can’t afford to not have access to what I have paid a few thousand dollars for. ### 1/5 — won’t even let me login *2026-06-26, version 3.1.1* :( ### 1/5 — Trash App *2026-06-20, version 3.0.1* Locking credentials don’t work. For as much as Themis charges, they should be utterly embarrassed. ### 1/5 — Below UWorld Expectations *2026-06-10* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Given the amount I paid for Themis bar prep, the way this app doesn't work 90% of the time is nuts *2026-06-09* 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 **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustration. This login issue has been resolved. Please update to the newest version of the app and try again. If you continue to experience any issues, please contact our support team—we’ll be happy to help. ### 1/5 — Never ending App bugs *2026-06-03* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustration. This login issue has been resolved. Please update to the newest version of the app and try again. If you continue to experience any issues, please contact our support team—we’ll be happy to help. ### 1/5 — Never works *2026-05-30* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustration. This login issue has been resolved. Please update to the newest version of the app and try again. If you continue to experience any issues, please contact our support team—we’ll be happy to help. ### 1/5 — App does not work *2026-05-29, version 3.0* App won’t even go past login screen. Deleted and re-installed app, but still doesn’t work. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Horrible. *2026-05-29* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustration.

Customer service unresponsive. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-07-01* UWorld is amazing. Themis is awful. UWorld's questions are like actual test questions and Themis thinks its a good idea to mess with you and make theirs harder. Which only hurts you because it hurts your intuitive guessing capabilities on the actual exam. And UWorld's explanations and diagrams are far superior. And they tell you whether they are NCBE questions or not, and the % of other people who got right. The one thing missing is your overall %. UWorld's app is also great. I've made hundreds of flashcards through the app (although sometimes it does crash when creating flashcards) and the app is generally very elegant, crisp, and condusive to using on your phone. Especially MBE problem sets. The Themis app is unusable. Downside to UWorld's app is it eats battery a bit faster than any of my other apps ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2021-01-21* Simply brilliant. The explanations are tightly written in CIRAC form. Happily, they aren’t prolix like Emanuel’s or sometimes sloppy like Adaptibar. They’re just right to prevent getting bogged down. Moreover, their accuracy is spot on. Uworld has obviously recruited some excellent legal minds for this. Finally, the charts, flowcharts, and other graphics that are often included in the explanations are simply ingenious. ### 5/5 — I recommend it *2020-06-06* I believe I am one of the first users of Uworld Legal. I did the trial for Uworld and adptibar and I decided to go with Uworld to study for the MBE. I noticed that the Uworld explained better the questions, and they were also offering a 50% discount. The way they explain the questions and all the illustrations used beat any other MBE prep. They organize the explanatory sentences using the CIRAC method and plain English. The explanatory answers were very well written. You are able to understand why that choice is the right one the others ain’t. When I did the adptibar trial (believe or not) there were answers that made me even more confused. This app is awesome. Sometimes I get tired of studying all the time using only my laptop, so I just lay in my bed and do exercises on my phone because this app is very easy to use and its layout is modern. The only problem I have found so far is that they do not let you to retake previous questions again, but you can go back and reread them. I think I’ve made my point. ### 4/5 — Bug fixes improve app *2026-02-07* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 3/5 — Disappointment in the app *2026-01-30* 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. ### 3/5 — App is buggy *2025-11-18* I keep running into issues where the app will unexpectedly freeze or refuse to load, and it won’t function unless I force quit and restart. It often will lose progress on whatever practice session or video I’m on when it does this. Second, it’s impossible to mark a single section of an outline review as completed in the app. The app marks ALL review tasks related to the outline as completed if you try. To accurately mark a single outline review as completed for daily tasks, you have to log into the website and do it from there. Outlines/worksheets are not formatted for a mobile app. Instead, UWorld just slaps the print version into a PDF viewer. Text is very tiny and difficult to read in consequence. Unless I completely missed it, there’s no way to digitally fill in the blanks or take notes on a worksheet — kind of a pain for the MPRE review, specifically, as you have to print out your own copies to write on. At least they mail you the outlines/worksheets for bar review. It’s kind of embarrassing that Themis charged over $3,000 for the bar review course I’m taking and the app has this many issues. I didn’t even get my discount for purchasing early, so spend those dollars on the programmers or something. ### 3/5 — could be better *2025-05-05, version 2.1* it’s fine but moving forward and backwards in videos is glitchy, also there’s no indication of which videos you’ve already watched. ### 3/5 — Decent *2023-07-11* Some technical issues ### 2/5 — The app doesn’t work *2026-07-31* It says “error you cannot launch the application” and I tried several times… **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry for the trouble launching the app. Please contact our support team at support@uworld.com with your device details so we can help resolve it for you. ### 2/5 — Unable to log in *2026-05-10, version 3.0* 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
