## Review summary

Hippo Education offers strong CME content with concise, engaging lectures and helpful notes, plus updates that expand the library. However, the app is plagued by instability, poor progress tracking, sign-in/subscription inconsistencies, loading problems, and disruptive mandatory updates. Content quality is a clear strength, but the user experience is hindered by reliability and usability issues. Addressing reliability, progress tracking, and subscription handling would unlock the app’s full potential.

### Pros

- High-quality, engaging CME content that's concise and regularly updated.
- Short lectures with helpful summary notes and easy CME credits.
- Content is broad, relevant, and delivered by knowledgeable, entertaining presenters.
- App shows ongoing improvements over the years and continues to evolve.

### Cons

- The app is buggy and unstable, with frequent crashes and random logouts.
- Poor progress tracking and playback resume—loses position and fails to mark listened episodes.
- Inconsistent in-app subscription status and sign-in issues (e.g., app claims no active subscription).
- Loading issues and performance problems (episodes fail to load, endless loading circles).
- Frequent mandatory updates that disrupt usage.
