Marginal

Questions are decent for reviewing high yield first aid info. Certainly some dumb questions though. Biggest prob is browse mode. Swipe to go to the next question...then boom you just skipped 3 questions inadvertently and finished the quiz. Now you can look at the quiz with every answer choice and explanation exposed, bummer you didn't get a chance to actually practice those last three questions. This gets very annoying/frustrating, and board prep is brutal enough without halfassed programming.


Ok

This app is ok/good. It reviews high yield facts but its questions seem to lack depth and challenge as compaed to U world. The same goes for the answer explanations in the app- but that may not be necessarily bad if you like straight forward q and a. Images need to be in color or improved to be morerepresentative. Despite this, the full app provides 986 questions which are accessible without an internet connection, which is a plus if you are not in a wifi hot spot and also because the shear volume of questions will provide breadth of topic coverage. The interface is ok all though if you zoom in, the text is not wapped to the window. Also, the swipe feature in the browse mode seems to have been fixxed. If you have some extra money on the side you shouldtry out this app to have a quick but basic q and a set at your finger tips otherwise try out the free version and see if it fits your taste.


Purchases don't sync across apps.

I purchased the full set of questions on the iPad and it won't carry over to the iPhone. Tried updating, reinstalling, and restarting. I'd like to not pay $45 a second time! App support?


Good App, IN APP PURCHASE DOES NOT SYNC!!!

Karl Kasp

Good questions and explanations, overpriced, the in app purchase of full version does not sync across devices, this is a scam, apple should monitor those! Im not going to pay 50$ again just to use it on my iphone. Shame.


Lacking

Medstu2015

No lab value option; only two free questions per section. Questions are far below the level of UWorld. Might as well do the free version, but don't have high expectations and don't buy the full version.


Great

Excellent product. And to all those saying it won't transfer over, you guys try again. Once purchased it will transfer to ipad or iphone. Questions are 2 steps and in some cases 3 steps even. A good balance to further your knowledge for sure, since its disecting First Aid USMLE book. I would recommend it.


It's practice

It works for practicing the questions but there are some glitches like others have mentioned. There isn't any way to only answer the only questions that you haven't seen yet. So, you'll finish a set it will say you haven't completed 3 or 4 but then when you try to go back, there is no way of just going through those. (Either that or it doesn't count them/have them to answer.) Also, I have come across questions where the response set or the explanation has been swapped between questions. I was able to download to other devices, but it looks like it will make you pay for it. I held my breath and hit ok and then it popped up with a message that said I had already purchased it and downloaded it without charging. That said, it doesn't communicate between the two which question you have already completed so I have ended up just using my phone.


Doesn't sync your purchases

Leyviur

I recently had the misfortune of having my ipad fail and was forced to buy a new one. Lo and behold, my purchase of the other 900 questions - along with my $45 investment - disappeared along with my previous ipad. Thanks for nothing.

I already bought the questions for my iPad. I shouldn't have to buy them again for my iPhone.
