Weirdly many bad questions
Most of the questions were alright. And I do think the practice tests are overall helpful. But I also encountered many questions with mistakes. Sometimes it’s weird typos or conflated terms. Other times the explanation didn’t quite match the answer. I saw multiple instances of the SAME question. But one version was “pick two answers” and the other was “pick one”. How is that possible? I saw that multiple times. One answer explanation correctly explained that in raid 5 with 3 discs, one could fail before there was an issue. But then the answer was 2 discs could fail, which is inaccurate, and it even said that lots of people got the question wrong. Another question explanation incorrectly claims that raid 4 doesn’t exist. It does, it’s just not really used in practice. One “question” was just a description of a scenario, with no question, and completely unrelated random answer choices. As if the sentence that had the question got left out. Overall the app was helpful for studying but a concerning number of mistakes really detracted from the experience. It’s like the questions were AI generated in bulk and never proofread properly. I was able to pick out some mistakes but how many mistakes went unnoticed? What if I was learning incorrect information? Very worrying in a study app.

Exam prep
Awsome app, and have been using it to study for cissp. Learnt a lot from just doing the questions and reviewing the ones I got wrong.
Worth it
In 42 days got my CISSP, first attempt.

Good, but…
I like the app and I have purchased the premium plan, but… The CISSP exam is known for providing full phrases, not just acronyms. However, this app solely uses acronyms in its questions. In addition, it is known that you will not see options such as ABC, BCE, etc on the exam. Additionally, Domain 4 feels overly technical, resembling a CCNA exam, which isn't representative of the CISSP's focus on broader network understanding. The CISSP exam will not make you a Network Engineer. While technical knowledge is important for the CISSP, the exam prioritises the understanding of concepts. In this regard, the app's focus may not be ideal for exam preparation.

Great study material
I am taking the test next wed so I don’t know how accurate the questions are to the real thing but it gives really good explanations when you get something wrong. I prefer to use the show answers as I go along as it helps me learn better and use the custom test so I can constantly do about 10 questions when I have time at work. Good app so far

Fantastic
Love this app and the fact that it gives you a readiness score!
Not bad, but couple complaints
When taking a practice test for a domain that has 200+ questions .. if you close the app, you LOSE ALL PROGRESS. You can’t continue where you left off, and also some the descriptions are kind of vague.
But other than that, it’s a good question bank that helps. If the top two items were fixed, I’d give it a 5 stars.

Great platform, lots of wasted potential
Pros:
UI is clear and easy to navigate.
The quick sets of flash cards, study questions, and custom exams allowed me to get micro studies in between meetings and tasks.
The gamification via the readiness score helped motivate me.
Cons:
Absolutely sloppy handling of the test questions. I came across questions that were unreadable with one letter per line, questions that rely on a color diagram but shown in B&W, questions with the correct explanation but wrong answer marked, questions with seemingly unrelated answers and explanations, and countless typos.
Suggestions:
Being able to retire a question would be great. If I’ve answered it correctly 10 times I don’t want to see it again.
In summary, it is a decent study assistant but for $15/month I’d expect much better.

Pretty good but bad editing
It's one of the lowest cost options out there, and overall it's helpful. But there are a lot of mistakes that shouldn't have made it through editing. Incorrect answers, contradictory answers, and questions that are very unclear.
I wouldn't say not to use it - it's a good, useful qbank overall. But you'll just have to put up with a lot of mistakes.
