### 5/5 — Most questions

*2017-12-30*

Most of the questions in the exam could be referenced to this apps questions, it was a more concise way to study, I passed the ASP exam with no trouble.

### 5/5 — First Class App and Customer Service!

*2017-04-19*

This is without a doubt the best ASP exam-prep available. The explanations and solutions are clear and easy to understand. The only other competition is the Bowen ASP/CSP. I've used both to prepare for my ASP/CSP. I successfully passed my ASP exam but noticed an issue while studying for my CSP. I sent a message through the app and the CEO of the company (Peter) responded to me personally. He explained that the app was overloaded due to overwhelming customer interest. The app was updated days later and is now working better than ever. Wow, first class treatment and a first class product.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Might change review after exam.

*2020-02-21, version 6.7.6*

During a time of critical transition from ASP9 to 10, they can’t get it together! They advised me weeks ago to update to ASP10 if taking the exam in 2020. Here it is 2/21 and they still have us studying ASP9. They show two Domain Five topics and nothing for Domain 9. When emailed, they give conflicting and inaccurate information. They rolled it out too early and instead of owning the problem, just say they will update it in a day or two....days ago. Not happy and adds to the stress. No phone number to call, just email replies that sound like my nine year old wrote them.

**Developer response:** Hi there, we're so sorry you're having trouble with the app. ASP10 is ready and available and there should be prompts to upgrade to it within the app. If you're not seeing it, we highly recommend re-installing the app. If that doesn't work, send an email to michelle@pocketprep.com and we will get you up and running ASAP with ASP10. Sorry again for the trouble!

### 1/5 — Too many glitches

*2018-04-15*

Too many glitches prevent this app from working the way it should. When you have to leave a test the app rarely ever brings you back to where you left off.

**Developer response:** Hi there! What you're describing is not typical app behavior. Please contact our support team through the app's Settings menu so we can help you sort out these issues; you may need to just reinstall a fresh copy of the app. We'll keep an eye out for your message. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Mistakes

*2018-02-02*

The app is fun but the information has mistakes. The references are to a Yates study guide that is inaccurate at times. The questions offered either lack context or are made to be tricky on a technicality. Examples of this are "over pressurization is most likely to result in: 1)Fire 2)Submission 3) Corrosion 4) Crushing." If you're thinking 4 you're wrong..1 (fire) was what was stated as the correct answer. Lots of questions like this that lack context.

### 3/5 — Good content but missing a few things

*2016-06-26*

I purchased this app with the intention of taking the ASP and following up with the CSP in the immediate future. Generally speaking this is a great app from a content perspective. There are an expansive amount of subjects and materials are presented in an easy to understand way. The daily question and test methods are a good way to test yourself on your safety knowledge. The biggest down side to this app is a recent change to the ASP exam - the inclusion of needed equations in the test question. The app does not have these so can be frustrating when working away from a reference. Some of the explanations to questions still leave you scratching your head if you don't have the reference in front of you. Lastly, I think the inclusion of study flash cards outside of the test environment, a la the question of the day style, would also be a welcome addition. Those are the only things I really feel need improvement.

### 4/5 — Worth the price! However has minor issues

*2020-01-13*

It would be nice if you could view ever flagged question from separate quizzes together. 
Navigation can be difficult

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for your feedback!


It is actually possible to build a quizz made only out of flagged questions. To do that, build an exam and select the option "Show only flagged questions". Hope this helps!

### 4/5 — Lawrence V. ESH Manager

*2018-12-06*

I have definitely been helped by this app and have already recommended it to others

### 4/5 — Helpful study tool

*2018-10-06*

There is a lot of good information and test prep in this app. For the most part, answers are explained in detail. My only complaint is that math questions are not always worked out throughly or explained in detail. 

The reminders to study and QOD along with the countdown to your test date is helpful.

### 4/5 — If I pass

*2017-09-28*

If I pass the ASP the first time, this app would be awesome.

### 5/5 — Great study tool

*2019-11-16, version 6.7.6*

I am beginning to study for the ASP and decided to purchase this app. So far I am really enjoying it and learning a lot of things I didn’t know previously as well as remembering a substantial amount of information I forgot I knew.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2019-07-31*

I used this app, the Yates book and the SPAN workbooks and passed my test. This app was instrumental in helping me prepare. I highly recommend it.

## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Get it already

*2019-05-20*

If you are studying for the ASP, this is by far the best money you can spend on prep. I’d still suggest at least Yates as well - but this app is a great complement. I passed the first try a lot due to this great app. Customer support and care is also awesome.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2019-03-09*

I used this app and the mometrix study guide as my primary sources for studying and I passed on my first try.

### 5/5 — Definitely worth the purchase

*2018-12-20, version 6.7*

I used this app along with the Yates text and a few other resources(spann). I found that this app was extremely helpful for pinpointing weak areas and concepts to concentrate on. I was impressed with the content and explanations. I also used the feedback on the reviews to direct my studying (multiple sources). I took my ASP today and was more than prepared. This is a valuable tool to HELP with your preparation for this exam. I will certainly be purchasing the CSP for my next preparation. Thank you to the developers.

### 5/5 — Passed my ASP today

*2018-10-16*

I downloaded this app because I read about it on LinkedIn. I did got to the ASSE prep course and used ISM study material but used this app primarily due to ease of use. It helped tremendously. I just downloaded the CSP version to prep for my next test.

### 5/5 — Do not rely solely on the app to pass

*2018-09-08, version 6.5.5*

If you are studying for the ASP exam, do not rely on the app as your sole method of preparation. In fact, the app is solely based on the Yates book. I used both references to study and found my exam had very few references on the exam related to the book and app. I am broadening my study material to include the ASP Exam Study Guide by Mometrix. Overall, fairly specific material with good metrics for learning safety fundamentals.

**Developer response:** Hi Haruyoshi! We always recommend our customers use a variety of study products to prepare for their next big exam. Our affordable and convenient app is awesome and has helped thousands successfully pass the ASP but it was never meant to be anyone's sole source of exam prep. Thanks!

### 5/5 — ASP

*2018-06-26*

A great tool to prepare for the exam. 'Loved the analytics and custom exam feature!

### 5/5 — I passed the ASP and CSP with this app

*2018-06-04*

I passed both exams on the first try with this app (and referenced text). There are some gaps - there were industry specific questions on the exam that were not addressed in the app (such as maritime, mining, etc). But apparently that didn't make a difference for me.

### 5/5 — I passed!

*2018-01-10, version 6.4*

I finished a 8 week study course and used this for my ASP/CSP exam. I found the material was slightly different on both. I can say with confidence that I needed this app to pass. Also, I love the features of this app. The custom exams and explanations with referenced material was extremely useful. I passed both, thanks!
