Ratings and reviews

I have to repeatedly uninstall and redownload the app because it starts showing error messages. Uworld told me I have to close out the app a certain way each time to prevent this. That means i have to sign back in every time. Not comvenient. I like to just pull it up and start where i left off. When you search for boards u world it brings up usmle u world first. Boards is far down on the list. So if you are not paying attention, you may go through the trouble of dl the wrong one. Wastes time.

Does the job without bugs, and the QBank is good. However, the app could use major usability imporvements. It makes you log in every time the app starts which, given how slow it is, gets old quick. The main feature is the QBank, but it takes at least 5 clicks to even resume a quiz instead of it being linked directly from the useless dashboard. Gets real tedious, especially since the app restarts if you navigate away for any signigicant amount of time.

The phone app needs some upgrades. If I leave a test mid way, and try to resume, it does not remember my previous answer. It also always starts on the first question, rather than the question I had last attempted. The lab resources should have a search feature to make scrolling easier.
