Is there a good UCAT app for iPhone?

Yes. UCAT Pulse and MedEntry both have iPhone apps on the App Store. Medify, the official UCAT Consortium resources and Medistudents are websites on the pages checked. For the real test you will also want to practise on a laptop, because the test tools are on a computer screen.

Checked 15 October 2026. "Not mentioned" means the page read did not say, not that the provider has no app.

What suits a phone, and what does not

A phone is good for the parts of UCAT preparation that are short and repeatable: ten questions on a train, a quick review of what you got wrong yesterday, a lesson on one question type. Verbal Reasoning passages and Decision Making sets are readable on a phone, but a long passage on a small screen is slower than it will be on the day.

The official Tour Tutorial explains the on-screen calculator, the question navigator, the keyboard shortcuts and the other test tools. Those are things to practise on a computer, with a keyboard. A sensible split is phone for habit and review, laptop for timed sets and anything that uses the calculator or navigator in full.

Check you have the right app

Searching "UCAT" on the App Store brings up more than UCAT preparation. A county bus service shares the abbreviation, and several "Pulse" products are unrelated to this one. Look for the app name, the developer and the words UCAT practice in the description before you install.

Best for

  • UCAT Pulse: best for short daily sessions on an iPhone from one listing, without a subscription. It is a smaller bank (2,774 questions) built around daily sets, spaced review and a rating that moves.
  • MedEntry: best if you want a phone app tied to a full platform. The app syncs with its online platform, which is priced by package.
  • Medify and the official resources: best used on a laptop or in a phone browser. Neither page checked names a native iPhone app.

About UCAT Pulse

UCAT Pulse (UCATPulse): the UCAT practice app with a live Pulse Rate rating. It is a daily UCAT practice app for iPhone and the web, for UK medicine and dentistry applicants. It has 2,774 original UCAT-style questions across the four current subtests (Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement), ten-question daily sets from your weakest areas, spaced review of your mistakes, lessons for all 18 question types, a clock on every question and an exam-style calculator. Pulse Rate is a live, chess-style rating overall and per subtest. It is free to start with no account. UCAT Pulse Pro is a one-off £19.99, with no subscription.

The name is shared with other tools. UCAT Pulse is not MedPrep's Pulse Online Platform (an Australian UCAT provider) and is not PulsePrep Tutoring.

FAQ

Is there a UCAT app for iPhone?

Yes. UCAT Pulse ("UCATPulse: Daily UCAT Practice") and MedEntry both have iPhone apps on the App Store. Other providers checked on 15 October 2026 name websites rather than a native iPhone app.

Is there a UCAT app for Android?

UCAT Pulse is not a native Android app. The web app installs from an Android browser. MedEntry says its app is available on iOS and Android.

Is the official UCAT practice available as an app?

The pages checked name the UCAT Consortium website, not an app. The question banks, practice tests and Tour Tutorial are on ucat.ac.uk.

Can I do all my UCAT practice on my phone?

You can do most daily practice on a phone, but the test tools (on-screen calculator, navigator, keyboard shortcuts) are on a computer, so practise timed sets on a laptop too.

Does UCAT Pulse cost money on iPhone?

The app is free to start with no account. UCAT Pulse Pro is a one-off £19.99 with no subscription.

Is UCAT Pulse official?

No. UCAT Pulse is unofficial and is not affiliated with, authorised or endorsed by the UCAT Consortium or Pearson VUE.
