Don’t get it if you plan to use the app

The app refuses to load so much of the time. And then they “fix it” and something else quits working. Emailing them about all the lost study time won’t get you any extension on the time ton paid for either so it’s a waste if you plan to use this app study. It might be fine on PC. The questions are great but being unable to access them means I cannot recommend spending your money on this.

I PASSED THE NCLEX!

The CAT exams are so helpful! They mimicked the NCLEX NGN 2026 exactly and made me feel comfortable with the format of the exam. I passed the boards on my 1st attempt with 85 questions in around 2 hours. Did the 60 days membership that came with 2 self assessments and it was about $170. I think this was so worth it. The study plans were a little confusing so I suggest ignoring those and go straight for the CAT exams to really prep for the NCLEX. Uworld has definitely prepared me well!!!! I’m OFFICIALLY A RN!!!!!

Intermittently unable to access app and poor technical support.

After spending several hundred on this app was disappointed to find I couldn’t log in, at seemingly random times. Repeated error on the splash screen saying “the app requires an active account”. As I’d paid and successfully logged in with my same credentials on other occasions, I was stumped as to why I’d get this randomly. Tech support basically consisted of telling me to delete the app and restart. After trying this to no avail, tech support has washed their hands. According to their email, this app is “not meant to be the primary access.” And I should just log in on a computer terminal. Which seems scammy, as why would they sell access to an app that they don’t expect to function as advertised? I have weeks of paid subscription time that were unable to be used, and am still paid up for several future weeks that I am likely unable to gain access. Customer service refused to reimburse for the weeks that the app has been inaccessible. They tell me I am the only one with these issues. If that’s true, and the app itself is not buggy, the company might have let me know what I can change in my end to get a more reliable log in. I received no such help, just basically, I’ll paraphrase, “if it doesn’t work on your phone, don’t use it then.” It’s an incredibly expensive app for something so buggy and devoid of tech support/ customer service. Doesn’t matter the quality of the product: if you pay for it and cannot access half the time, it’s really not worth your money. I do not recommend.

Worst app

not working properly needs so much change

App Works Now

They fixed my issue promptly

Doesn’t work

Will not allow me to login

App not working

Literally been loading from the login page for over an hour! The app prompts you to login and you get a loading sign that spins in a circle leading to no success with logging in.

Very good test bank

Had lots of questions to test from. Lots of rationales to read and were well written and easy to understand. Most importantly, I passed my RN- NCLEX using this lol

Could be better

The app tends to lose connection a lot. The videos are informative but they pause a lot. Sometimes when watching the lectures, the audio will still be playing but the image on the screen will be still for 3-5 minutes depending on the length of the video. It would also be beneficial if there were transcripts on the videos. Another thing I don’t like about the app is that sometimes when taking a test or a quiz or whatever, if you’re spending too long on a rational, I guess the system thinks that you’re not on the app anymore and will lag. So all the questions answered following that will be unsaved despite showing that you’re answering the question and will still give you the rationales. But once you get the end and try to submit, it shows an error message and the only fix is to remove the app from the background and reopen and redo all the questions again. I wish there were lecture notes on the app because some of the videos aren’t long and it would be nice to have something to refer back to that’s built in on the app rather than me opening multiple apps and thus leading to me losing connection during testing.

Not enjoying my experience

I’ve been using this app less than a month and it has been a huge headache. System issue after system issue. I can start a test and when I go to submit it, I’ll get an error message that states {error submitting test…an unexpected technical error occurred while processing your request. Please try again. } I would have to uninstall the app and lose all progress on the test and have to start completely over. This is counterproductive and a waste of time. Please fix this. I’ve had this issue while using the app on my phone as well as my iPad.

TECHNICAL APP ISSUES

DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT purchase UWorld if you want to use it for IOS APP USAGE. I had contacted customer support about a glitch in their playback videos where they glitched at two minute intervals on both my iPad, iPhone, and a computer I was using. They asked me to try several troubleshooting tactics all to say that they ARE AWARE that their IN APP PLAYBACK VIDEOS ARE HAVING ISSUES. They also said that they have no timeline as to when this issue would be resolved. They recommended I use my web browser (which is completely impractical for on the go listening/watching which is what I bought it for because that’s what was advertised on this very AppStore.) After numerous back and forth emails, I told them that was absolutely impractical and that I didn’t have consistent access to a computer, they told me to check to see if my app was “updated to the latest version” I PAID $236 FOR A GLITCHY SUBSCRIPTION THAT HAS NOT WORKED FOR A MONTH. Customer service has done nothing but RUN ME AROUND IN CIRCLES. Simply do not waste your money if you plan on using the app. I REPEAT AS MUCH AS IT IS ADVERTISED DO NOT USE UWORLD FOR IOS APP USE.

We understand how frustrating this experience was. The issue has now been resolved, and an update is available. Please download the latest version of the app to continue using it. Please contact support@uworld.com if you are still facing the issue.

Love it but would like picture-in-picture feature

Would love a picture-in-picture feature for the videos. I swap back and forth out of Uworld while taking notes on my phone, but it has me restart the whole video when I go back to the all. And on iOS, sometimes you can’t skip forward because the video controls are so close to the bottom. If there was a picture-in-picture feature, it would be much much easier to take notes on the video content

Otherwise I love the app :) great content!

Amazing!

Uworld helped me pass at 85 questions!! Definitely worth it!!

“The request is invalid”

Some of the questions cannot be loaded and showed “The request is invalid”.

Missing Feature Inconvenient

The app is either missing the study planner feature or it’s located in a very obscure place. Either way, please update the app to include it in the main menu. I’ve had to resort to using Safari and not the app when on my phone because of this issue.

Content is good, app is not

The content is amazing I love it, but the app and website are actually useless when used on the iPhone. When I use on my computer it works perfectly but on the app I can’t even access my study plan, or create tests it just shows a black screen. Terribly created

Not Good

This is the worst app for nclex preparation so far.
I paid around $230 canadian for this worthless app. Anytime I complete a test , by spending hours on that test.
When i try to submit my test , it always shows technical error and i have to do all the questions again and again. It wastes so much of my time and energy.
Do Not Buy This App
Would not recommend to anyone

Unable to access from the application

I am unable to access my account on this app. It rarely opens my account. I am not able to study on the go.
Please fix the issue
Also, allow us to delete tests and recover questions back as we create wrong tests by accident.
