APEA

This app is absolutely horrific! I had to reach out for support because women’s health was loaded in men’s health, I listened to the entire women’s health lecture, but now it’s showing I listened to none of them when support reset the item. You can’t access anything else in the body system until you complete the entire course. You can only fast forward or back up at 10 second intervals- which is very frustrating. If you pause the lecture in the middle it resets and starts back at 0. The lectures are also terrible. APEA used to be one of the top- when Amile was the one teaching but one of the girls on here is just reading straight from the slide- zero anecdotes, stories, perils to help you remember. Spend your money elsewhere!

The app is terrible. Countless times I’ll be listening to a lecture and it’ll automatically stop and I’ll have to go back to the beginning. It’s very difficult to fast forward, as it only lets you FF 10 seconds at a time. Other times the lecture times aren’t accurate, which might affect if the app registers that you completed an activity - which is essential to getting you CE certificate! For example, a lecture might be 53 minutes long but the timer says only 48 minutes. Terrible terrible terrible. It’s also frustrating that you can only access one login at a time - so if you were listening on the app and wanted to print a handout on your computer, you can’t do that. All in all the app has wasted so much of my time and attention because of its poor set up. I like the instructors too, but I have noticed that they misspeak and forget to correct themselves - for example when talking about nsaids and apap in the OA lecture. I would recommend the authors create a script and lecture from that script for better quality control.

Material is great and very useful, but the app itself is poorly constructed. The “quit” button does not work, the wheel of death (loading) appears every time you move to the next question, you have to enter in the number of questions you want each time as well as topic and exam or tutor, and you have to go through so many menus just to get to a question. You can not log in from laptop and phone. 1 device at a time. I give it a 2 simply because it simply is NOT a “quick and go” app. It’s made studying by phone such a pain in the gluts. You can not just sit on the thrown and answer questions....far from it. For it to be a mobile app, I expected it to be a quick start and it’s far from it. Just to avoid the hassle, the best option is simply log in on the computer and avoid the headache for me. But maybe this works for you.
