### 3/5 — Will there be any future updates

*2026-05-26, version 4.10*

Looking for more options for questions.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-03-05, version 4.10*

I like the affordability of the app and I like that you can set goals and you can randomize quizzes. My only complaint is after 2-3 quizzes, my app always crashes. Then I have to close out and reopen the app.

### 3/5 — heats up the phone, unexpectedly "loading" requiring me to exit app

*2025-10-05, version 4.01*

App is simple to use, provides the correct response and flashes in green if response is correct. The annoying part is that it hears up my iphone and stops working in the middle of questions, requiring me to exit the app and restart the trst

### 2/5 — Moderately helpful

*2025-03-15*

There are some questions that are really helpful, and others that are not. It’s really confusing when there are the same questions in a row, with the same few answers, and every answer is different. The question structure is really difficult and hard to understand. Especially for someone who has already taken this exam. Further, the answer explanation is too short and just gives you the answer without giving you any reason or explanation for why it’s the correct answer. In my opinion, there are more thorough study materials out there that make more sense.

### 3/5 — Overhyped

*2024-08-26, version 02.08.00*

I bought this after 3 BCBA supervisors recommended it to me as one the best - if not the best - ABA study apps. I love the simplicity and accessibility of this app, and its repetition and definition drilling seem on par with some of the other study programs out there that cost hundreds of dollars more. 

That being said, it’s not as robust as those other programs and could use a deep cleaning to correct spelling errors and clarify questions. As an example, I’m working through C-2 right now and the program seems confused about whether or not permanent product is a direct or indirect measure of behavior. Due to the repeatability of the question format, permanent product is one of the given answers in almost all of the questions, but it’s only the “correct” answer to 2 or 3 of those questions - even though it could be one of the correct answers for at least 2 of the other questions. 

One of the strengths of this app is that it’s supposed to simulate the BCBA Exam’s nuanced “which is the MORE RIGHT answer?” approach. In some sections though, it fails to provide that nuanced distinction, or at the very least explain to the tester why one answer is better than another. I harp on this because it’s probably the most important aspect of these study resources and something I’m finding frustrating as a consumer - I want to know why I’m wrong, but the solutions you’re giving me say I’m right! 

I hope this app is still being cared for and will continue to improve with time so ABA students may have an affordable and stress-free resource to study for their exams.

### 3/5 — Meh- good if you need on the go review

*2024-03-01, version 02.08.00*

This information can be readily available online for free- there’s only ten questions for each task item, you could easily make a quizlet. •lack of questions •repetitive questions •gramatical errors •very basic

### 4/5 — The typos kill me, but great app besides that

*2024-01-25, version 02.08.00*

The typos and grammar errors drive me crazy! However, so far it’s been helpful in studying for the exam. One of my supervisors said that she only used this app to study before her exam and recommended it.

### 3/5 — White screen?

*2022-08-07, version 02.07.00*

Great for studying on the go but I have had to delete and reinstall the app multiple times due to it loading or freezing on a hire screen with questions.

### 4/5 — No brainer affordable study guide

*2022-06-14, version 02.07.00*

I would give this 5 stars except that it has grammar errors on at least 5 questions and one of the questions In section E4 asks about when it’s appropriate to cancel services. It lists 3 out of 6 reasons but only allows 1 as the correct answer. Answer should be all of the above/ mentioned.

I believe there were 3 other instances like this I just didn’t document them.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2022-02-07, version 02.07.00*

I wish there was a way of tracking the quizzes besides 100 pass, somewhere between 1-10 questions correct or not taken. Maybe have the number of the last quiz

### 3/5 — New update

*2021-11-11, version 02.06.00*

Application updated scenario questions to 5th edition task list and certain answers make the app crash or all 4 multiple choices on a quiz show up as incorrect.

### 3/5 — Change App version

*2021-11-09, version 02.06.00*

I have been working on this app for weeks straight. Only to discover that none of the work that I completed was saved. Now I have to start over 😒

### 3/5 — Was a great app …

*2021-11-07*

This AP was great, until they changed it to the 5th edition task list. I’m currently studying for the 4th edition and it was changed before it even came into effect? Would have been great if they waited to change it as many people still using it are writing under the 4th edition.

### 4/5 — Thumbs up

*2021-10-20, version 02.05.00*

Thumbs up

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2025-10-10, version 4.10*

The questions are not challenging whatsoever. The answer is completely obvious as all the of the other answer choices are clearly incorrect. Not an efficient way to review or study for the exam and very underwhelming for the price.

### 1/5 — Multiple inaccuracies

*2025-07-28, version 4.01*

I went through about 10 quizzes before I decided this app was a joke. I finally deleted it when they provided an explanation for a “wrong” answer detailing negative PUNISHMENT as a procedure to increase the future probability of a desired behavior. Anyone who has spent more than 5 minutes in ABA knows REINFORCEMENT increases the likelihood of a behavior occurring in the future and punishment DECREASES the likelihood of a behavior occurring in the future.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and useless customer support

*2025-07-18, version 4.01*

Stopped working after a few courses and reached out to customer service and after several days of no reply I get one message asking me which version and a full day and a half later another question asking if it happens in one section or randomly. Clearly they either 1) have no intention of actually trying to fix the problem or 2) are so painfully inept that the BCBA exam will have come and gone and I’ll still be getting clueless and unhelpful emails every few days as “customer service”. Oh well…time to study old school with books…

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2025-03-18, version 03.00.00*

When you get a question wrong the app just shows you the correct answer. How is this supposed to be helpful? How is anyone expected to learn from this app?

### 1/5 — Not worth it!!

*2024-07-08, version 02.08.00*

Only offers 10 questions per section in the task list… NOT worth $15

### 1/5 — Switched from 4th to 5th task list

*2021-11-12, version 02.06.00*

I’m taking the BCBA exam next week (4th edition) and purchased this a while ago to practice test questions. I used the app often and planned to use it for last minute test prep questions. I opened the app today to find that the content is now based on the 5th edition task list. Very disappointed that the change was made - given that those taking the test through Dec. 31st are still doing the 4th edition…

### 1/5 — Rate Message

*2021-09-04, version 02.05.00*

Useful content, but the constant “rate the app” message made using the app aversive.

### 1/5 — I have a visual disability

*2021-08-12, version 02.05.00*

You would think being in this field their product would be accessible to everyone but no, I need the screen read to me and this app does not allow that.

### 1/5 — I was forced to rate this app

*2021-07-09, version 02.05.00*

Every few questions I’m asked if I want to rate the app. I click no. Another few questions and they ask again. And again. And again. Doesn’t stop asking me to rate the app. Borders on harassment. I rated it so they can stop asking.

### 2/5 — Lotta issues

*2026-06-02, version 4.10*

Explanations for incorrect answers go away way too fast and you can’t go back to see them. The incorrect answers frequently make absolutely no sense, which makes them way too easy. Barely any situational style questions like the real exam

### 5/5 — F7 isn’t loading

*2025-10-13, version 4.10*

Just writing a review to alert that F7 isn’t loading. I’ve also updated the app and it’s still not working. Please fix, I’m working my way through each course and they’re super helpful! Thank you.

### 5/5 — Passed my Exam

*2024-05-29, version 02.08.00*

An invaluable resources, I couldn’t have passed my exam the second time without using this app to reach fluency. Highly recommend for anyone studying for the exam.

### 5/5 — What a great tool!

*2023-06-15, version 02.08.00*

Wow. First I want to say thank you for existing! You made studying for this exam such an achievable goal!

### 5/5 — Plenty of questions

*2022-11-27, version 02.07.00*

This app is a great way to get loads of test question practice. I found it useful to be able to practice questions under each task list area, in addition to the random set of 10 questions at a time. 
I think every little bit of studying helps… I’m now a BCBA.

### 5/5 — Helpful!

*2021-11-02, version 02.06.00*

Money well spent! $10 for access to over 1400 test prep questions and term review. Great app! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great way to practice fluency

*2021-11-01, version 02.05.00*

This app has been so helpful on working on fluency in a quick and convenient way. The app is so easy to use and the subtopic quiz have great questions that help improve fluency on definitions, concepts and scenario questions. I would love to know how the app works alongside their Full Length BCBA Mock Exam - and how it compares to these mini quizzes. So worth the money - and you can use this anywhere!!! No need to even have wifi or data - it’s great!

### 5/5 — Great free product and feedback to incorrect answers

*2021-10-31, version 02.05.00*

I really like this app because whenever I get an answered wrong it gives me the cooper book definition on why it’s wrong along with the pages I should study or refer back to. It’s great!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2021-10-29, version 02.05.00*

Absolutely love this app!!! However don’t memorize the question because these are not the exact questions that will be on the test however it give you an understanding the definition and concepts of what will be on the test. It’s a great App if you are getting your BCBA. I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Improves Fluency

*2021-10-19, version 02.05.00*

This is a great app for practicing fluency. Explanations reference Cooper which is handy for further reading

### 5/5 — Thankful mom of 2

*2021-08-29, version 02.05.00*

I have had this app 3 days and have already gotten my money’s worth. Late nights nursing my infant are now used for learning opportunities instead of mindless scrolling. Times when I only have one hand available can now be put to good use as the app only requires one hand. Thank you thank you thank you.
