Contact UWorld Medical Support

I have never left a review for any app in my life, but using UWorld on the iPad has become so frustrating that I feel I need to warn others. UWorld is great content-wise, but it will NEVER remember your answers. It will constantly allow you to finish exams but will not remember you have logged in. It’s clear that there is a timer that automatically logs you out on the backend but does not log you out from the front end. This means you will start a block of questions, you must finish them all immediately. If you have to see a patient and minimize the app then attempt to resume your block, it will allow you to keep answering questions BUT WILL CRASH when you get to the end. This means you’ll have to relog in then repeat the 20 questions you did when you were logged out by the system.

The creators of the material do a great job. The app developers have created one of the worst users experiences on this device.

UWorld is good, in terms of content and what it’s meant to be used for. But the phone app is simply awful.

If you leave the app idle for even an hour, and you decide to open a graphic in a question answer, it won’t open. Then you have to restart the app. The problem when you restart the app is that the app does not properly keep track of where you were during a test. It usually is about 5 or 6 questions behind, sometimes 10 or more, forcing you to answer those questions however you thought you did before so as to keep accurate data about what you got wrong or right.

It’s terrible in this regard. They need to fix this now otherwise competitors like AMBOSS and USMLE Rx will be the go-to insteadz

The method by which this app displays lab values is a deal breaker for me. It covers the question text and does’t allow simultaneous highlighting of the text which mandates a total change in how I handle timed questions. Worse, any movement of the lab values window or scrolling within that window is lost once the window is closed (to highlight text etc) and reopened. There is enough room on an iPad screen to put the lab values side by side like on a pc. Alternatively, show the lab value window while allowing interaction with the question text and answer choices and save the pane and the place last scrolled to when the window is reopened within the same question. These issues don’t allow me to use this app at all in timed mode. Only untimed or review. Please fix!

This is still an issue months later
