Ratings and reviews

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.

The improvement since I started using the app is notorious so shout outs to the Amboss' team for the amazing work they've done. One thing I would change though is that I need to start the study session first in my laptop for it to appear in the app as available

Do not use it for Step2 CK! uWorld is a million times better. Amboss questions are not similar to the NBME oned whatsoever! They are very tricky and too specific in some ares. Too much of their questions resemble step1 and there's barely statistics questions. I regret immensely spending my money on this question bank
