App doesn’t work

Bad platform. Worth doing on a computer but multiple pictures won’t load using the app, exams load poorly with problems submitting. Good content but bad app.

Username/Password does not work with online UWorld Corporate Account

Is the username & PW same as the online credentials? Where is the faculty sign in so we can set exams and check exam results?

Hindering my study time

This app as well as the site is constantly having errors and issues with my log in and acknowledgement that I am a paid customer! I don’t have time to waste in this for $250 ! Not impressed. Questions are also very manipulative, tricky . Most answers can completely have 2 correct ways of treating the patient safely and effectively. 18 yrs of experience here, and always have complete superior patient care and outcomes in Primary Care. - For the price you need to fix your technical issues asap.

Frustrating App with Great Material

The app frequently errors if you leave the screen. Because of this, the user to has to redo all of the exam questions and if you have gone through any flashcards, none of them will register. If there is no internet connection that app can’t be used which doesn’t make sense since you have an end-date associated with the account. The explanations for some things also have misspellings.

Otherwise, UWorld has excellent prep questions and the ready deck flashcards are well targeted.

Uworld is great, app is not

I love the content and this has been really helpful! However, I have been unable to finish exams without the app glitching. I had to restart the app dozens of times just today while studying. It wastes a lot of time and I have to re-select the questions over and over. Very disappointed in the app, especially at such an expensive price tag to use it.

Glitchy app, Uworld can do better.

On positive note, the learning material is great.

That said, not too happy about app design. It randomly times out while taking tests and will give an error message when trying to submit or pause. This makes it so you have to completely close app, resign in, restart test from whatever random spot it glitched at in order to submit. This throws off timing metrics. Pretty annoying for something so expensive.

App constantly crashes

Content is great quality. The app on the other hand… I can’t get through 10 questions without it crashing or glitching requiring me to force quit the app. Please fix! This subscription is expensive.

Constant Errors

Unable to successfully submit test and view exhibits in questions. Great questions, but technical issues make app not worth purchasing.

High quality exam questions in an inexcusably glitchy app

UWorld’s exam questions are second to none, let’s be clear about that. But when you spend $350 for a question bank, you would think the app be well-designed and functional. The constant need to sign in after leaving the app, selecting your question bank again, and going through an entire gauntlet to pick up where you left off is counterintuitive to an app designed for busy academics who cram questions on the go. Frequently, media that is part of a vignette will be inexplicably inaccessible: “An unexpected technical error while processing this request. Please try request again or contact support for assistance.” How about we just create an app that works, kind of like Rosh Review did? In fact, go ahead and download it and see how they made an app that just works, like, all the time. UWorld needs an app worthy of the best medical practice exams on the market.

good content, app loses data

Uworld has great content but the app is unable to sync the data despite troubleshooting. I’ve lost a lot of progress and the support team blames my internet connection. The rosh app does not have this issue.

Bugs

Exceptional

They have difficult questions with good explanations that hammer it home. What I specially like is that they have divided their questions into the 7 EOR exams that PAEA has so if your program makes you take PAEA exams you’re golden with this. Rosh review sadly does not do this.

Terrible questions

Questions on here are so far-fetched that it is incredibly difficult to answer. They lead you down a path to the correct answer and then take a quick turn because of a minuscule exam or lab findings on the question prompt. Totally not worth buying but if you get it for free it is OK.
