UWorld Medical - Exam Prep for Negative User Reviews
✓ Please bring split screen view to iPad app!The split-screen view in the web client that permits simultaneous viewing of the question and the explanation is incredibly helpful—I’ll be using that in Safari until this app gains that functionality!.Version: 8.8.2
✓ Mis-registering answer selectionsI have noticed that for every 40-question block I submit, I receive an initial score that corresponds to the answers I actually selected. When I log in at a later time, it gives me a completely different overall score for the block and displays that I selected answers that I did not in fact select. This makes it very difficult to track my progress- both overall and in specific subjects. I paid $500 for this service and I expect it to work..Version: 8.5
✓ Issues with selected answersIt randomly keeps omitting my answers. I don't even know until after the exam if it did or didn't. Also seems to randomly have an answer different than what I selected which is a nuisance when going back to read my choices. Highlighting is a pain in the app and swiping side to side to the next question sometimes works but most of the time it doesn't..Version: 6.3
✓ Garbage appUnbelievable that we pay so much for a subscription to have an app that doesn’t allow you to paste your secure password 🤮.Version: 9.11.4
✓ Recent update made this app frustratingThis is not a review of UWorlds content, more this app in particular. The most recent update has made UI exceptionally buggy. Highlighting is frustrating and a nightmare, trying to highlight multiple lines at once will send the cursor flying offscreen, and sometimes the option to highlight won’t even come up after you’ve selected a block of text. Additionally, the question list on the left side of the screen, while fine before, NOW doesn’t highlight the question you’re on, but instead highlights the question you were on previously. The app was fine for the most part beforehand, whatever the dev team did made it miles worse with their “down-date.”.Version: 8.1
✓ Great app but need keyboard supportThe UWorld app is a pretty good way to access the Qbank. However, this app doesn’t support control with an external keyboard or even the magicKeyboard of iPad. Since I put my iPad on a stand while using this app (and I believe many would do the same), it is very inconvenient to touch on the screen and navigate among different questions. I would definitely rate this app with a big FIVE STARS if the developers can add external keyboard support to this great app..Version: 9.9.3
✓ Not compatible with screen share or multiple screensIt’s almost 2021, why can’t I do uworld questions on my TV from the couch, or pull them up on the projector from my phone through AirPlay? Don’t say it’s for security because pc can cast the content and display it on multi monitor setups as well. Why the stigma against mobile devices? If people wanted to steal your content bad enough, they’d know how to do it and not get caught. You’re only hurting your paying customers with these policies..Version: 9.3.1
✓ Too many bugs, reported but never fixedI have reported bugs with highlighting, scrolling, the magnifier, and many other problems with this app through the Uworld Support email. Still no changes every time the app updates with bug fixes. The content in UWorld is amazing, but the iPad and iPhone app suffer from the same issues (again, highlighting, scroll glitching when you highlight too close to the top of the page, and highlighter button going missing if you highlight too fast), and I can’t give a good rating to this app when the developers are doing NOTHING to fix these issues. Already reported these bugs to the developers through email, nothing changes..Version: 8.3.1
✓ Good content, bad appThe question, answers, and night mode are great, but functionality of the app is severely limited. The flash card feature is simply useless and there’s no ability to highlight and search for key words, either within the app or through google. Also the copyright restrictions prevent copying and pasting so you can’t even highlight a term, then copy and paste it into a note, search engine, or different flash card app..Version: 8.6.1
✓ Display of lab values is terrible and a deal breakerThe method by which this app displays lab values is a deal breaker for me. It covers the question text and does’t allow simultaneous highlighting of the text which mandates a total change in how I handle timed questions. Worse, any movement of the lab values window or scrolling within that window is lost once the window is closed (to highlight text etc) and reopened. There is enough room on an iPad screen to put the lab values side by side like on a pc. Alternatively, show the lab value window while allowing interaction with the question text and answer choices and save the pane and the place last scrolled to when the window is reopened within the same question. These issues don’t allow me to use this app at all in timed mode. Only untimed or review. Please fix! This is still an issue months later.Version: 8.5
✓ Unable to highlight automaticallyI am not able to highlight automatically even after disabling add to note function. This App has a fault..Version: 9.6
✓ Would have been 5 star ...Content: Everything about the content it delivers is superb, there is no doubt about that! The app itself: 1. Accidentally took a screenshot as I have assistive touch on. Received a threatening warning that if I did it again, the app would terminate my test. The app developer could have chosen to blank the screen if a screenshot was taken for any reason just like Netflix, Amazon ... etc but instead chose to actually threaten the customer. Disabled customers need to be very careful. For this reason it deserves 0 stars. 2. It disables your look up dictionary, you cannot look up any definition. You cannot highlight and add to note from highlighted either. The developer of this app prefers the illusion of content security over usability knowing full well all their questions can easily be downloaded online without any effort! Punishing paying customers is certainly a great way to go! 3. You cannot suspend your subscription so you’d be losing money when you have exams and cannot do questions for a week or two. I cannot in good conscious recommend you paying £500 like I did and receive so many insults from this developer that prioritises personal greed over usability. It is certainly not a user friendly app and acts like a bully..Version: 9.3.1
✓ The phone app interface needs to changeThe browser interface is amazing and easily used either for solving questions or making flash cards. While the phone application needs to be more user friendly especially in the notebook and flash cards aspect..Version: 9.11.3
✓ Randomly answers certain questions for meThis is a recent bug for me using this app. Sometimes when I answer a question and quickly move on to the next one, the letter choice from the previous question would somehow get carried over to the next question. I know I didn’t pick the answer myself because the time spent on that question would always be 0 seconds. It’s been very frustrating but also happens intermittently enough that I do not know how to reproduce the issue to fix it..Version: 8.3
✓ The best qBank for step1, but not the best app...Uworld has the market cornered as far as step 1 preparation goes. Their questions and explanations are in general, excellent. However, the app is kinda buggy. It freezes fairly often (more than once a week) and sometimes resets the timer for no apparent reason..Version: 8.4.3
✓ Needs offline supportThe strength of the Amboss mobile app is that question blocks can be made and downloaded to be used internet connection, such as on a flight or road trip. Limiting this function makes the UWorld app significantly less useful..Version: 9.11.3
✓ Navigation swipe is buggy!I try to study with my phone but when I tried a navigation swipe, it doesn’t swipe to next question. It is really frustrating when I do question with full screen mode. I have to exit from full screen and click next button for next question. It is really time consuming when you study with timed mode!.Version: 6.4
✓ Inconsistent pricing and offering on mobile vs computer based uworldI purchased 90 day access to step 3 qbank on the mobile app for $499 believing that it would include the ccs cases that are so important for step 3 studying. Today I went onto the uworld website on my desktop to look for the ccs cases I thought would be included only to discover that they were not included in my subscription! Additionally a 90 day access subscription to the step 3 qbank WITH the ccs cases and the 2 self assessment forms is actually 100 dollars LESS on the desktop version at $399. I have so far not heard back from uworld about this discrepancy. This feels very unfair that the cost is extra and I did not get the CCS cases with my subscription..Version: 9.10.1
✓ FIX HIGHLIGHTINGPlease fix highlighting on iOS iPhone app. Ability to highlight selected text repeatedly fails to appear in selection menu even though highlighting setting is turned on. The only workaround is to go into test settings, toggle multicolor highlighting off then on, and then highlighting ability is restored. This bug occurs every few questions when reviewing a given test..Version: 10.2.4
✓ Do not update!Ever since I updated the app, it is completely unresponsive when i try opening it. Haven't managed to open it even once since then..Version: 4.3
✓ Can’t see tags on FlashcardsWhen using the Flashcards, it does not display all of the tags for that notecard and unless you go into that specific card to edit it, you cannot tell what that card was tagged as, beyond the first 9 letters or so of the first tag. This issue has been fixed on the computer but has yet to be addressed on the mobile or tablet app. There is a huge blank space following the cut off tag, and the remaining tags could easily fit in that space..Version: 7.6
✓ Would be fantastic if DISCARD button fixedThis app would be amazing if the Discard option wasn’t so repeatedly presented, which results in accidentally pressing the discard button and losing that test. Every single time you open the app, it gives you the option to resume or discard. And the discard button is located on the right which means it’s easier to press on accident..Version: 10.4
✓ When I login I get a shopping car blocking my question bank.I have more than a week that I login from the app and I get a shopping car blocking my ability to start a new test or review previous test. My subscription have 11 more months. I can use the program from my phone. I can login thought safari without problem. It happens only with application..Version: 9.0.3
✓ Will improve my rating when UWorld extends subscriptions due to COVID-19 test cancellationsGreat app. I will improve my rating once UWorld offers courtesy extensions for students whose accounts expire in June-August 2020. Currently, UWorld has only offered extensions for accounts expiring in April and May, but the majority of students whose Step exams were canceled (a third of my 200-person class, for example) have been forced to reschedule in late summer/early fall. Considering that UWorld is extremely pricey compared with other study aids, I don’t think it would break the bank..Version: 8.8
✓ Good knowledge & test base, awful app with bugsI sent emails several times to the support group of UW and once even had a screen sharing session where I showed 3 or 4 bugs on Mac, Windows, iOS. It was about half a year ago and nothing changed. The main problem is: currently, text/images cannot be saved to different side of the flashcard if one side is already added. Ipad is almost replacing the laptops and PCs, but the application doesn’t allow you to select anything at all after you added some graph or a part of explanation to one side of the flashcard..Version: 8.6.1
✓ Highlighting Not WorkingUpdate: months later in 2021 I still can’t highlight answer explanations. I’m looking back at reviews from 2years ago asking uworld to fix the ability to highlight text on the iPad of answer explanations with replies from the developer that they’re working on it… let me repeat this again, from 2 years ago. Months ago: With as expensive as this Q bank is there’s less patience for faults in software like the highlighting feature not working. On an IPad Pro the app itself doesn’t even allow you to highlight and on the website (full web version) you can highlight the question, but not the explanation even though you see the yellow highlight circle when you select text..Version: 9.8
✓ Step 3Helpful app that got me through MCCQE1, USMLE Steps 1 and 2 CK. Only issue I’m having is now that I’ve subscribed for the Step 3 services, I cannot access the CCS bank from the iPad app. Please rectify this soon or advise on how to access it from the iPad app..Version: 10.3.1
✓ Keeps getting stuckThe application keeps getting stuck!! My progress in tests does not get saves and I have to repeat tests all over again. Also, many times media won’t open (despite making sure nothing’s wrong with my internet connection). Please try to solve this issue ASAP. Thanks!.Version: 10.2.4
✓ Does NOT work with Apple Magic Keyboard/Trackpad for iPadSuper annoying that trackpad doesn't work with this app. If, for example, you try to click on option A, the cursor will randomly drop down to option C making it impossible to click option A with the trackpad. This then forces me to use the touch screen to click on answer options. The only clue I have is that, when the cursor drops down like that, it changes shape from the circle cursor to the single line cursor (as though select text). I don't know why the change in shape causes change in coordinates, but this needs to be fixed! THEY NEED TO TEST THIS APP ON THE APPLE MAGIC KEYBOARD FOR IPAD BECAUSE IT DOES NOT WORK FOR TRACKPAD!!!.Version: 10.1
✓ Unable to log in with faceidUnable to log in with faceid.Version: 8.8
✓ Frustrating experienceFor STEP 3- the questions were nothing like the exam (still got in the 260’s). They’re more similar to board/ITE questions. Less errors than the ABIM UWorld. compliments to whoever wrote the endocrine question because it’s very clear you read the guidelines (I check question by question). You should get a raise.Version: 9.11.3
✓ Could be betterI appreciate Uworld, and their questions are fantastic. But this app has some issues. The search function is useless and does not work for question ID numbers or keywords. Additionally, the flashcards function is a bit laggy and takes a long time to load..Version: 8.8
✓ Highlight function is broken for months, is anyone even listening?You need to highlight text multiple times in order to get that highlight option, sometimes an empty box shows up which does nothing upon clicking. Developers, please for the love of God, see it for yourselves by installing it on your iPad as an end user. This has been a major issue I have been facing for months! And no one bats an eye for a huge premium paid..Version: 8.3.1
