MedStudy 17+

MedStudy v uworld

Compared to uworld, the MedStudy app is underwhelming and disappointing. Not sure why you can’t bookmark questions so you can review them later.

Annoying to Use. Why am I paying all this $$$?!

I bought the complete package which includes audio pearls, digital book and qbank. I realized you can’t simultaneously listen to audio on your phone and follow along on the website. It constantly logs you out of one if you’re on the other! For $800 I would love to listen while also reading at the same time. Why is this not possible?!

Also the audio is just one giant 6 hour file. It breaks it up by topic so you can jump around but if you want to pause you have to hit the tiny pause button on the 6 hour timeline. NO ability to rewind or fast forward. The basics of any audio program! If you accidentally go to another section you have to start from the beginning of the topic. No way to navigate through a topic if you wanted to replay an important part of the audio. Have to start all over again. Again for $800 why can they not make a better app?!

We're sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing with our app. For a more efficient way to navigate try utilizing the chapter markers provided below the player. We understand that you are looking for button options to progress or go back. At the moment, this is controlled by dragging your finger back and forth on the timeline. Your input is extremely important to us so we will take this back to our team as we consider future work. At the moment we do not allow logins from multiple devices. We understand your desire to read and listen simultaneously and will consider how to make that possible.

Fine question bank; terrible app. Better off using a browser to access the question bank.

Not user friendly. The app has very limited features compared to the web version. You can’t resume unfinished question sets that were started via a browser. You can’t do practice tests with the app. It is like MedStudy put out a bare bones app for the sake of making an app. MedStudy clearly doesn’t care about making a fully functional app. You are better off opening a browser on your device and using MedStudy that way. If you are between MedStudy and another question bank, strongly consider the other source.
