I’m genuinely surprised by the lack of certain features in the app. You can’t create new tests/sessions within the app natively - it requires you to open an in-app web browser to do that. You can’t change the font size from the size 8 font. You can’t navigate to the next button with an arrow - you have to either use two taps to select the question number and then the next question number or swipe. The questions seem good, but my faith in them is diminished by the haphazard setup of both the app and the desktop site.

The question bank is great and I like the integration of it with the medical knowledge bank, but there are dozens of links in every answer when I'm reviewing my test and I cannot move between questions or scroll through the answer choices without hitting one accidentally. The links should be programmed to only be work when intentionally clicked, as opposed to when my finger glides over them. Amboss additionally crashes a lot, particularly when clicking these links. The links in general are not a problem and are often helpful, but this is a real quality of life issue for me as I'm using this app on my phone. Additionally, the app verifies internet connection every time you open it whether it's on a downloaded problem set or not. It needs to verify connection and does not give up if there's a non-functional WiFi connection. This makes the app difficult to use when on a plane, for example, when you are in airplane mode but connected to limited WiFi.

I like the web browser version of AMBOSS, but the app drives me crazy. The font is TINY and I have to hold my iPad absurdly close to read it. Often when I swipe to a new question, it just appears as a blank page. Sometimes this can be resolved by selecting highlight when the words magically appear again, but not always. The highlight feature is also annoying - I would rather highlight my own phrases as a learning tool than see what they’ve chosen to highlight. That being said, I think the content more closely matches the breadth and depth of NBME questions than does UWorld.
