Latest reviews of Case Files - USMLE Test Prep app for iPhone and iPad
very convenient app! would rate it higher if the highlighting function could be improved, no limit on how many words being helighted. would be even better if have underline, cross through function!
Anyone who wants the most updated app you need to search for "Case Files (blank)" whether it be psychiatry or whatever. This app is not up to date so dont buy anything through it! You will NOT get the updated version!
This app has such a great variety of case files, which as a med student, helps a lot. I love the included quizzes and case notes. I have recommended this app to a few of my classmates, and they love it too.
This app has a bunch of information at your fingertips and is very convenient. The chapter downloads are fast and text is clear and big. The highlight feature works great to and helps you find those important parts very easily and conveniently in the app. For anyone studying in the medical field this is a great tool and will for sure help in your studies.
Im using this app on an iPad Mini 2. I regret not getting it for my first 3 rotations (Peds, Psych, Family Med). I did get purchase the ~$30 In-App Purchase for OB/Gyn (which you have to do for each field of study) at the beginning of the rotation that I just finished. It proved to be a great, quick study tool throughout the day at the hospital. Im definitely going to continue using it for Internal Med and Surgery. I HIGHLY recommend this to any 3rd year medical student trying to hone in on your knowledge in the spare minutes between patients, at lunch break, etc. As long as you use Case Files as a supplemental tool along with a textbook rather than your only study tool, youll find it very helpful!
