Firecracker - USMLE Step 1, 2 for Android
Great app, setup the same as the website so it is easy to transition back and forth!
Content is very gopd.Quite helpful.But the app keeps getting stuck in between many many times.Kindly look into this
Best ap for quick revision.Easy to use interface,crisp and relevant content.
Constantly freezes, forcing to quit the program. Please fix the bugs. Otherwise a great learning tool
App is great when it works, unfortunately sync issues frequently arise. Daily reviews will often not show up in the app but work on the mobile website, however the mobile site does not have offline sync. No sign of being fixed either as this has persisted for months with support only ever recommending reinstalling, which has never resolved the issue. In total, cannot recommend the Firecracker app as a reliable pocket study tool.
Concise and great review tool.
Loved the app and the site, but since updating yesterday it crashes as soon as I try to open the app. Even before updating, it had stopped offering me daily review questions in app and had stopped allowing me to access review questions through Study Something Specific. Great product through web browsers, but mobile version definitely needs some work.
Thank you do much for the app... But hope to add note features and annotation in the app
It is really convenient and easy to use. I like it a lot. FC is a VERY customer-responsive company. Their product is well worth the price.
Card count unreliable and doesn't seem to sync if you do the cards on your computer. Disappointed.
I cannot go back to last q and change my rating for that question if I wanted to...it needs to have shot clock for this app.
The PC site is much better. Here the date always says 15th May 2017. There also seems to be a latency problem.
Very nice app but needs some improvments.. the snooze doesn't work anymore in this update .. i guess try to make as close to the website as possible..
Hope there's option to mark qs to see them later , otherwise great app with great content ????
The app is mostly great. Please add a few fixes. First, I have to log in every time on my phone. There's no personal data on the app for somebody to steal and it's annoying. Also sometimes it's hard to do what you want to do. It's a little challenging to find how to review the days questions. Otherwise I like the app. It has a nice aesthetic. Good work, maybe fix a few things.
Best resource for all steps
The app is great! But after the new update it keeps shutting down on my phone, I can't use it
A must
Much faster now
Great for studying during down time while on rotation.
Great tool to supplement your studies, very responsive team. If you use this consistently on top of your school's resources you'll be set!
When I try to open the app, it just crashes.
Use it for the daily cases and long term studying. Expensive but really well functioning
Very helpful for baseline review. I didn't use it as my only resource, but I always started here for exams and clerkships. The app works pretty smoothly once you understand the organization and it's always nice to have flashcards and questions on the phone for review in between OR cases or when I'm not otherwise busy. Used this for medical school, 2nd and 3rd years, mostly for STEP and shelf study
It locks my study mode in step 2 when I'm studying for step 1, essentially making the service useless. Have talked to 4 different people who respond as if nothing is wrong. Fix the problem and I'll happily delete this review Side note Great tool but UI needs serious work. Every time I close my phone my current study session is gone! And it is impossible to review already seen questions without starting over every time or spring all your review in one sitting. Anki has this figured out. You all should be anki first, then do all that fancy stuff like cases and references.
The app. feels a bit "clunky" and buggy at times. The interaction with images/figures seems like it could improve. Sometimes it feels like the figures provided in an answer-explanation are too general. It's a difficult task, but it would be interesting to see the FC team create illustrations that complement specific answers.
Really good app. Wish you could add your own flash cards or see community ones
Ross Medical student and this app is great for not only learning the material but also quizzing yourself to gage your understanding.
Pretty good overall! Firecracker is implemented with my school's curriculum which is great!
Love it
Great app
Awesome app that is constantly growing and adding new resources
I absolutely love this app, it is such an easy and convient way to review!
Very good app for learning step 1 material throughout basic science courses. Good customer service
Being an IMG, this app has helped greatly in keeping FA and Pathoma in the forefront always. Thank you Firecracker.
Great questions, but the snooze function doesn't work on the app. The first one will work, and then after that, if you snooze it, it'll just pop right back up immediately.
It is great. I took off a star sonce the computer version has so many more options. It is great while commuting!
This new version of the app is great. The app stopped counting questions I've done in the study something specific.
I have loved the app for a long time now. Normally, I'd give it a 5 star. But recently it has not been letting me onto my account. I have tried to reset my password and have reinstalled the app without luck. If this is fixed, I will give it a 5 star rating.
