Does not offer all the tools it claims it does

There are features offered in this app that don’t work has multiple bugs. don’t make mistake of paying for this stuff and regretting it. No refund offered and no compensation given for their faulty and misleading application. Lousy ACCOUNTABILITY.

Passage Q’s Don’t Work for IPad

I use this app to do practice Q’s and unfortunately you will run into problems if you have passage Q’s. For example passages most of the time have more than one picture (table,graph,etc), but on the IPad it will only show the first one. I emailed the UWorld people and they were zero help. Their advice was to use my laptop…

Thanks for sharing your experience — we’re sorry for the frustration this caused. Could you let us know which screen or section this is happening on?

In the meantime, please make sure you’re using the latest version of the app, as updates often include fixes for display issues like this. We’d really like to get this resolved for you.

Could be better

While it poses as a decent alternative to the desktop version, it’s severely lacking in various areas. For example, when attempting to create a quiz, there aren’t any options to filter by section and/or subsection. This is very annoying because then I have to create quizzes on my computer and then finish them on the app if I need.

Not ideal app for iPad use

Now let me just say that I love using UWorld for practice questions. I usually use it on my computer/chrome app but as I’m an avid ipad user I thought i would try out the app to see how it goes. I would say that it works like 40% of the time. Sometimes the questions would display normally and I could actually use it. Most of the time not only were there NO SPACES at all in the passages, but figures were missing so I couldn’t even answer questions. Not sure if it’s just me, but hopefully this gets fixed in an update.

Crashing

doesn’t load

Won’t ever let me log in. It just spins and loads forever. I have to delete and redownload the app every time I want to use it. Tried turning Touch ID off and it didn’t make a difference. Very annoying. App is otherwise good.

Buggy but potential

The app could be very good but has a lot of bugs when using the qbank - generating tests often causes errors, as does switching back to the app if switched away from.

unfriendly userface

i can't find anything on here?? it's all empty. i don't understand why anyone would pay $300 just to have to do everything themselves still.

User unfriendly interface

I love UWorld, but this app could improve from a couple points:
1. Highlighting is not accurate. The portion you highlight on the mobile app does not align with what ends up being highlighted on the UWorld website on a browser.
2. There are way too many buttons to press to access the notebook. It would be nice if the notebook could pop up underneath the question like a horizontal division between the notebook and the question content) so that you can both read the content and access the notebook at the same time. Currently, the notebook takes over the whole screen so is not very accessible.
3. There is no explicit way to pause the exam. It is either resume or discard, no other option written. An explicit way to pause and save the exam would be great.

Ithe app functionality for flashcards is different than the web version

The website version allows you to make flashcards from text but the app has very limited functionality for flashcards and when I tried to screenshot to make my flashcards - it ended the test which was a big bummer. I hope you guys can find a way to change that! The app is otherwise great

Loved it. Was hoping it won’t expire

Very helpful

This app is great!!

Can you please please please make the icon blue and not purple!! Purple is a bit polarizing.

Doesn’t allow me to login

Always says error and invalid login information but if I login through the website direction, it works totally fine. So I assume it’s a bug that you guys need to fix please and thank you.

UWorld is next best after AAMC material

10/10 would use again, scored > 90th percentile on B/B thanks to using UWorld to get more familiar with graph analysis-style questions.

Phenomenal

Love UWorld!! I highly recommend this app! The explanations and pictures are so helpful.

Essential

This supplemented with AAMC material = GOLDEN

Best 3rd party supplementation

Excellent

Excellent UI so far, makes the most of the real estate that's available on a phone. Do wish iPhone X support could be implemented soon!
