CompTIA A+ & Security + Prep User Reviews

Good starting point, but don't rely on for the bulk of your study.

I used this app quite a bit to study for the Sec+ exam and I felt like it did a decent job of teaching definition and terms. While the test/quiz questions give you scenarios that set up the questions, I felt like the format wasn't very close to the actual exam style of questions. I would recommend redesigning your questions to match more closely with the actual Sec+ exam format.

Target Specific Exams

I primarily purchased this app for additional exam questions for the A+ exam. I don’t see an option to filter specifically for the 1102 exam, I already passed the 1101 exam and don’t need questions for that exam. Please offer an option to target specific exam material.

Secondly, there is no option to revisit the initial setup questions. My focuses may have changed after setup and the Settings menu doesn’t provide such options.

Other than that, material seems to be ok.

Too many errors and typos. Lack of support.

The app functions well and the questions and explanations are very useful.

However, there are far too many typos and errors within certain questions that set you
up for failure. There are missing words, missing illustrations in questions that require them for reference, and some of the answers are just plain incorrect and the explanations for the answers include information that wasn’t even part of the multiple choice answers.

On top of all this, I’m completely unable to submit feedback when encountering these issues. Save your time and money and use PocketPrep instead.

Awesome App

This app is a must for certified IT professionals.

Two things I would like to see:

1. Additional zoom past 120%
2. Dark Mode: because it will help people focus on the material.

I have a the lifetime subscription it's hands down worth the money, because IT Professionals have to get re-certified every 3 years by CompTIA to keep official active status.

Serious Issues with English and Clarity

This app is solid for the most part. But depending on which exam you study with, there are serious issues with the clarity of the language that is used. It feels as if the questions that are being submitted into the question bank are not being audited or have less than ideal standards.

Not sure

May be a good studying app but I’m not sure. Firstly some of the answers change; On the wrong answer retest the answers are different from what they originally explained in the first wrong answer explanation. Second they don't always actually use the wrong answer you input. So now you may be confused to know why your answer was wrong with explanation. Also some questions to seem to not actually make sense which is tricky and confusing. I know its supposed to help study and get used to the types of actual Comptia questions but I’m sure the real questions would make sense. Off to look for another study platform, please don't pay for this one.

A lot of work needed

The questions don’t use the proper terms (one example is risk allowance when it should be risk acceptance). Further, it’s riddled with spelling errors that are unable to be submitted to the support team due to a bug. Better to spend your money on the actual practice tests.

Good Overall but Has Bugs

I really liked this app at first due to the amount of questions available in the access to all the different tests however, whenever a question is supposed to have a diagram or picture to reference the picture is not there until after I’ve answered the question wrongly, and then the picture shows up. When I try to submit the questions to Support, it gives me something went wrong message and I’m not actually able to submit any issues. this app has not been updated for 11 months so I don’t know if they are now absentee developers.

Good app for serious studies

While I did miss at first that this is a free trial (I’m getting used to iPhone again and am visually impaired) I can see a lot of benefit to even the absolutely free 1 question a day and the amount of information that is available once you do unlock the full version (which I plan to do once I get hired some where) it’s well worth the investment in practice. 5 stars

Not worth the price

Costly, the app has no option if you want to focus on one domain. Just take the app by darril gibson much much better or the pocket prep. Some typos were noted too. Not good.
