Disorganized and incomplete
I have two major problems with this app. Number one - Id like to see a list of the study materials (in its entirety) that they would like us to use. And number two - this should download a separate calendar into our calendar. One that we can elect to show or not show. Instead it adds a daily list to every single day. To delete it, you have to manually delete every single day individually. That is really poor programming. There are plenty of ways to sync a calendar that you can switch on and off easily from any platform. This was not only a waste of five dollars (as I only own SOME of the resources they employ) but has also filled my calendar with individual daily posts that I cant possibly delete.

Time Saver!
This app is a real time saver! It’s great to have my whole study schedule programmed for me. I am very impressed with this app so far. The synching process was seamless on my calendar, and I was even able to sync it with my Google Calendar! Each day offers a thorough and coherent agenda, with specific and executable assignments. Simple and direct.

Comprehensive and Simple
I bought the app and started studying this week, and its been great so far. I really like how they broke down studying into "phases." The resources they recommend are the ones that my classmates and I planned on using, but their sequence is much more coherent than I was planning.

Great start, future will tell
Ultimately when choosing which resources to use for step 1 (there are so many) I ask myself, will this help me score better? I havent taken step 1 yet so I cant say definitively how this will effect me, but having started this program and reviewing the schedule I can confidently say that I believe I will score very, very well if I stick to it. It is a rigorous schedule to be sure, but the company isnt promising a pass, theyre shooting to help me score "ridiculously high." As one reviewer mentioned already they dont list what resources they use. While this may cost a few bucks on the front end to get them and follow the plan, most of the resources are must use step 1 study materials that most students plan on using regardless. Bottom line is that this is an inexpensive investment whose value, I believe, will far exceed the 5 dollars I have spent on it. If I follow this plan and score "ridiculously high" on step 1 then this will be a 5 star app. Since I cant say that Ive done that yet Im giving it a 4 star and will edit it to 5 if I crush my goal or move it down if I dont meet my goal score.
