Contact MCAT Support

I bought the premium version of this app so that I could enjoy doing some MCAT related questions. However, there are so many bugs and questions with either no answer explanations or even incorrect answers. Every time you review a question, it always says you chose another answer choice than the one you put. One question had explanations of what myopia and hyperopia were and it was an organic chemistry question. When you want to play a friend, it sometimes bugs out and skips a person’s turn. The concept is good, but the amount of bugs and terrible content/explanations make it not really worth it. I’m glad the creators are doing well in this app cycle, but it seems as if it was rushed just so they can tell adcoms they created an MCAT study app. Please fix these bugs and bad questions as I genuinely do want to use a viable version of this app.

Tl;dr app has potential, but there are much better tools and apps out there for MCAT review, and it’s really not worth the price.

I bought the app because I loved the idea of a content review app focused on discrete questions. However, as someone with both MCAT experience (taken it, currently tutor it) and a computer science background, it needs major improvements and is really not worth the $9.99 subscription fee.

The content emphasized by mine isn’t the most “high yield” on the MCAT (a weirdly high number of question on HMR terminology, which is really low yield on the exam). The explanations afterward are sometimes vague or wrong, or outright missing.

In terms of the interface, it’s really hard to read the light gray text of the explanations, and the answer options get cut off. After doing a round of 60 questions, I don’t remember the choices and can’t even see what the correct answer is. The occasional obvious misspelling of words is just irritating. These are pretty obvious UI/UX problems that should have been fixed before the app went live and definitely before it started charging money.

I applaud the effort of the developers and appreciate how hard it is to start an app from scratch and wish them the best of luck as they develop their app. As a consumer though, I’m not ready to recommend it.

Try Anki (free) or MCAT Mastery and UWorld (paid).

Like others, I’m using the app to study in my downtime. While the content is great and high-yield, it’s difficult to review correct/incorrect answers because the app doesn’t accurately account for answers submitted. It will swap my correct for incorrect or vice versa so you have to remember what you selected (can’t rely on the red/green coloring). Or, the description for the correct answer will not be aligned with what’s stated as the correct answer. Ultimately, seems like there are some coding issues and isn’t the most reliable so I wouldn’t repurchase or extend my subscription.
