Most GP trainee revision happens in fragments — 15 minutes on the commute, 10 minutes at lunch, 20 minutes before bed. The revision tool that fits into these fragments wins. Not every desktop Q-bank translates well to mobile.
Strong Mobile Experience
iatroX (iOS + Android, native React Native app). Built mobile-first. Sessions designed for 10-15 minute blocks. Adaptive engine selects the right questions for short sessions. Android 3-month retention above 80% — indicating genuine daily-use stickiness. The strongest mobile experience in the AKT revision market.
Passmedicine. Mobile-responsive web app. Knowledge Tutor daily notifications keep you on track. The interface works on mobile but was designed desktop-first — some features feel cramped on smaller screens.
SCA Revision. Mobile-friendly case reading. Cases are structured for quick study — you can read a case and mark-scheme breakdown in 5-10 minutes on your phone.
SCA Prep. Mobile-friendly AI tutor and case generator. The WhatsApp tutor is inherently mobile — delivering daily revision prompts on the platform you check 50 times a day.
Decent Mobile
Pastest. Mobile app available with offline access. The explanations that make Pastest valuable translate well to mobile reading.
Geeky Medics. Mobile app with question bank and flashcards. Good for quick-fire revision.
AMBOSS. Mobile app with searchable library. Strong for reference lookups on the go.
Weak/No Mobile
i-Medics. Desktop-optimised. Mobile experience functional but not designed for it.
FourteenFish AKT. Desktop-first. The portfolio app is mobile-native but the AKT question package is not optimised for phone use.
The Ideal Commute Stack
15-minute commute: iatroX adaptive quiz (10-15 questions, weak-area targeted) + GPnotebook podcast (clinical tips in audio format). Zero cost. Maximum revision density per minute.
