the 2* rating is only for the app, not AMBOSS itself. it is crazy to not give the ability to create new question sets internally though the app. Uworld allows you to do that simply and sync between devices. this is a glaring oversight that should be fixed to make this a competitive company. The mobile configuration of the website makes it tedious to navigate on the phone and med students don't always have their laptops.

AMBOSS qbank is actually on par with UWORLD in terms of quality of questions. However, as stated in many other reviews, the app needs a lot of help. First and foremost, I think they should have highlighting be an option. This app is practically unusable because there's no way to highlight and you can't answer a long-ass question stem without highlighting. Edit: that's not true, you can't highlight question stems even on browser mobile app!

Hi Jessica, thank you for the review. The manual highlight is a popular request, and I hope that we will add it to the Qbank app in the future. Your feedback has been passed to our product team. In the meantime, you can access AMBOSS via a browser on your mobile device, there you will be able to highlight question stems. Jakub

Working questions on your phone is pretty straightforward with this app. The app would be better if: 1. The highlight function worked 2. You could see sessions you have in progress on your desktop from the app (you can't see them until they're complete right now) 3. Clicked links directed you to the material for review in the knowledge app. Using your internet browser resolves these issues, which defeats the purpose of an app. Not a rip on Amboss itself, which is great, but thea pps are meh.
