Ratings and reviews

i use it on my phone. slightly lagging behind online web browser version. when you log out during a session, the session might stay locked on the question it was locked on. also can't allow for copying and pasting to make notes. would be grateful if it is looked into

Worst product ever—constant lagging & auto logouts. Never buy a Pastest subscription; the performance is abysmal. PassMedicine is far superior, with a quicker interface and much lower price. Don't fall for sponsored ads. I wasted money on a Pastest subscription—it's barely working, so I switched to PassMedicine.

Extremely poor iPad experience. The app is slow, laggy, and clearly not optimised for iPad at all. Question loading takes ages, scrolling freezes, options don’t register properly, and the app often becomes unresponsive during sessions. For a paid exam-prep platform, this is unacceptable. It feels like a poorly wrapped web app rather than a real iPad app. Using it for serious exam preparation is frustrating and a complete waste of time. Work on making the app better.
