Great questions, terrible UI/UX
The questions are great compared to what other apps offer, especially the next gen ones. However for the price, it’s not worth it. The mobile app interface is horrendous and antiquated. The filter functionality is severely lacking and it’s not possible to customize the exams in the way I need them to be filtered. Although, many of the apps have that issue, so that’s not a unique problem to their app (unfortunately). To give an example of one that excels in this area, the Lecturio app has the best filtering functions I have found; however, even that is not perfect. UWorld is hardly trying. Btw, how is filtering by “basic care and comfort” helpful? Those are just arbitrary categories and useless buzz words imo. They’re not actually useful categories to filter by as a nursing student though (and by not useful I mean 100% useless). Most of those categories like “physiological adaptation” and “infection and safety control” are always applicable, from the first class to the last. We don’t actually get tested on those subjects individually, so it’s worthless. Filtering that way creates exams that have questions that are way past what we’ve learned or way beyond it. It’s the equivalent of a junk drawer. “How about filtering by patho type (pancreatic, liver, neural, etc) or pharm type (antidiabetics, analgesics, etc) and then combining any which way you want. Also being able to save those parameters for future quiz creation. I don’t think any app has that, sadly. Makes me want to build my own. As an aside, I was a developer in my last career, so I am analyzing this app from a programmer’s mindset as well, not just a nursing student standpoint. Anyway back to the problems with their app. The max questions per quiz is 85 which is cheap of them. My guess is that they limit data storage or connectivity. Assuming they’re part of a fiber network, that would mean they just aren’t buying enough storage on whatever servers they’re renting from whatever data center they’re partnered with. That’s so cheap and lazy, especially taking the price into consideration. They have ample money to cover the costs of more uptime/downtime and/or data storage and still maintain a great profitability margin. An app that isn’t being cheap would be the Mastery NCLEX app, which has no limit on quiz questions. I’d recommend doing what it takes to remove the limit. Speaking of the Mastery app, their UI/UX is nearly flawless and responds at lightning speed. UWorld could learn a thing or two from them. Another annoying thing is the only way to “mark” the questions is to flag them. The system remembers which ones you marked but if you create a new quiz with the marked questions, they will appear as being “unflagged.” This causes me to waste time flagging all of them again because that takes less time than verifying if I have previously flagged them or not. That’s an easy fix and it seems lazy to have not done so already. Also should switch to a star or bookmark instead of a flag. Flags are usually intended to notify the company of an error within the question. Again, just points to a lack of understanding of their dev team in regards to UI/UX. Finally, the app seems very heavyweight. Their system is slow to respond to every input by the user. Whether this is a server issue, lack of code optimization, or both, I do not know. However it is obvious that there is an issue and they need to work on speed. It shouldn’t take ~5 seconds to load the next question. Why is the uptime/downtime 20+ years behind current tech capabilities? Get with the times or charge a fraction of what your company currently charge and then I can give it 5 stars. For now, they get 3 stars — average; because they have better questions (5/5) than most apps but it’s offset by their archaic, slow, non-mobile friendly, non-user friendly, unintuitive platform (1/5).
United StatesGreat App for passing NCLEX
This app is the best. I only used it for 2 months but every day. And I passed NCLEX-RN in the first attempt. Thank you UWORLD!
United States4 Stars because I was never able to use the iPhone app as it
4 Stars because I was never able to use the iPhone app as the “login” buttons never worked. I used the website to use the question bank. I finished about 52% of all the UWorld questions (including nextGen style questions) I averaged a 76% overall. I took the NCLEX this passed Monday the first time and passed. I study for 1 month everyday studying between 50-100 question and reading every rational with every question and every video that was attached to the rationale. You can do this!
United StatesStudy Plan
I’ve really enjoyed the study plan you can generate in preparation. It takes the load of guessing where to start and how to progress. **Wish there was a captions option for the lecture videos.
United StatesVery unstable app
Loves the rational but the App always freeze and show the error message . Worse with pro max 13 I used to delete and download the app more than 10 times a day and I never experienced this problem with archer even I pay less.
United StatesNot wroth the advice given to use this
Still failed NCLEX
United StatesBUY IT FROM THE WEBSITE
The prices are different from buying from the AppStore or from the website. App Store is twice as much versus the website and you get better options
