Practical Reviews Hack 2.1.4 + Redeem Codes

I’ve had a subscription for decades. I’ve renewed. And when I try to use the new app it doesn’t allow me saying I have to renew first. I don’t want to spend this much time on technology, when technology is supposed to be saving time.

This app is ok for listening to the reviews, so in the sense that it can do something so basic that you could just pull an applet off the shelf it gets one star. But it fails miserably in UI/UX given that you can’t reliably take a quiz as the Apple keyboard blocks the “True/False” button which cannot be scrolled up past the keyboard. The entire point of paying for a subscription is ease of obtaining CME credits! You can’t get credit without taking the quiz which has to be done on the desktop?! For what is being charged per subscription, this app is an embarrassment at best and a sign of uninhibited greed at worst.

Wow 17 + years old application and no one bothers to improve it
Before I downloaded I thought must be a mistake average two star rating now I know why

Issue mentioned in previous reviews still lingers it doesn’t recognize your credentials and asks to call to renew subscription
Nonsense !!

It’s a paid subscription and someone should be able able to sync the credentials on this platform so that it recognizes active subscribers

I am sure this review will fall on deaf ears too and no I don’t intend to call customer service
Thank you

Very clunky non-intuitive app. Currently 2022) shows current and only issue is from 2018. Tried it numerous times. No explanation. I have had subscription for more than ten years.

App is slow and buggy. Keeps logging me out. Takes 5 minutes every time I try to login.

Can I give a zero star rating? How about negative stars? This app is that bad.

The designers did a great job on this App on the first attempt. You can download all of your content and either listen to it or read it. Photos are also included and this is a very nice addition. You can answer the quiz questions for each article as you go and then submit them when you have finished all of them. You obtain credit instantly. My only beef is that I got one question wrong and I don’t think the App can tell me which one was wrong. That would be a nice improvement. The advantages over the Quickscan Reviews App on my Mac are that you can listen to the narration or read the article, see the photos and take the quiz all within the App. You can also search the database from the App. I typed in CK20 and it brought up dozens of articles from the last 10 years. I could also narrow my search by typing in CK20 and Bladder. The disadvantages in comparison to the QSR App is that I have added hundreds of my own articles over the years. Other than that I cannot think of any reason to ever open the QSR App on my desktop computer again. Also you can ditch all those CDs and paper that they used to send you in the mail. You will never need that physical content again. I prefer to use this app on my iPad but it seems to work just as well on my iPhone. I would encourage Practical Reviews users to try this App.

I felt compelled to write a review after hesitating a long time to purchase this service due to scathing 1-star reviews. I should have known not to trust said reviews as they were nearly all riddled with typos. This app works just fine. I’m able to log on, download content, listen even when the phone screen is sleeping, etc.
It works as advertised. Ignore the ramblings of tech-handicapped folk. If you enjoy Practical Reviews in (whatever your specialty is... mine is pathology), then you will find this app immensely helpful and a respectable companion to the online or CD version of what you get. I can use it as a stand alone in the future. I currently get CDs because I initially distrusted the app thanks to clueless docs punching one letter at a time on their smartphones.

I have been a subscriber for many years, back to the Paleolithic era of cassette tapes. This product is the successor to Keystone Reviews, another flawed computer effort never updated.
The service itself has excellent information. But why can't I play an entire issue without starting each review manually? Or vary the playback speed? Or sign in once a day? Or have a comments section to discuss articles from the app? As others have noted the interface leaves much to be desired.
C'mon guys, drop a few dollars on a software developer. They need to eat too!

Hands down- this app is much easier to use than their website for earning CME credit. Took a few minutes to realize that you have to add an article or an entire series of articles to the playlist and hit the audio button to read and take the quizzes (audio optional). Once you have successfully taken the quiz(es) and your credits are reflected in your total for the year, clear the playlist or those articles will continue to show up each time.
