### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2020-06-26, version 6.7.9*

It’s a decent app and especially convenient to have on your iPad or iPhone.  I bought the full version with 500 questions, the only problem is I keep seeing the same questions over and over again.  It really probably about 250 authentic questions.  Also, they make the questions somewhat easy.  I do really like that your stats are broken out by subject so you can see which areas you need to focus on.

### 4/5 — Passed my CA real estate exam on my first try

*2019-02-12, version 6.7*

Pocket Prep was a good tool to use as a supplement to my other course review material.  The questions in CA Real estate Pocket Prep are NOT what you will see in the actual exam (common misconception from the reviews).  The questions in Pocket Prep are meant to help you understand the real estate concepts and terminology.  It was very convenient to have such an app on my phone as it gave me opportunities to take quick 10 questions exams whenever I had a few minutes to spare.  This kept the concepts fresh in my mind.

### 4/5 — Passed my test today!

*2018-10-31, version 6.6*

I wondered how this app would help when test day came. Here’s my opinion....none of these questions are on the actual test BUT I was consistently scoring 69% on my Kaplan pretests no matter how much I studied. I downloaded this app and used it for a week before taking the test. I think it helps solidify key terms and if you’ve taken classes and done your due diligence, you will be able to apply the terms to actual scenarios. The test isn’t easy but this app combined with many practice tests should help you pass! The one downside to the app is that a lot of the questions are repeated often. I didn’t feel like it truly had 500 questions. Lastly, it’s worth purchasing the most expensive version of the app to get as much exposure as possible. Good luck!

### 2/5 — Good when it works

*2018-10-30, version 6.6*

The app consistently needs to be closed completely and reopened, and a majority of the time I’ll find myself resigning in. 20$ seems to be a bit much for a app that doesn’t wanna go. However when it is working it is very helpful. When clicking on ways to practice, and selecting custom exam, and then show me answers as I go. The next page is suppose to list which sections you’d like to practice on, however many time a blank screen appears, indicating the app needs to be restarted. This can happen 3-4 times before it works properly and eats into time you could be actually studying.

### 3/5 — Has potential!

*2018-08-14, version 6.5.4*

Preface: I did not do my Real Estate education in-residence. Everything was remote/self pace. The school I went with was ADHI Schools in SoCal. 

With that being said, this is a GREAT supplement. I would not take the material nor the knowledge acquired by this app to the state exam alone. As others have shared, this is great for a quick study session, on the go terms recognition, and less important case studies. 

Although this app gives some thorough explanations, it does not put things into context or scenarios. And for those that have yet to take the state exam, that is the basis of the MAJORITY of the questions. 

Understand how to put the terms, practices, and principles taught at your school in context and in relation to real world scenarios. 

Hypothetical, “what if”, and scenario/situation based questions would take this app to the next level. 

Passed my first time. Now working with a high-end Broker in SoCal

### 5/5 — I passed!

*2018-06-15, version 6.5.4*

This app definitely helped prepare me for passing the exam!! I recommend the full version! It’s worth it!

### 5/5 — Really good!

*2018-06-08, version 6.5.3*

I looked at a lot of options, this was by the far the BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK. I used three other study tools and passed.

### 5/5 — Prep questions

*2018-06-06, version 6.5.3*

The best app and easy to use

### 3/5 — Good Learning Tool

*2018-05-19, version 6.5.3*

This app is a good add in leaning tool but please keep in mind it does not cover the full realm of possible questions on the CA Real Estate Exam. You’re going to need to study and take all the exams included in your RE course study. Having said that and using this app for the past 6 weeks, averaging 92% took the state exam and failed. That’s my fault and not the app.

### 5/5 — Great study tool

*2018-01-05, version 6.4*

I'm using this as a study tool for my exam, and I must say that it is definitely helping me feel a lot more prepared and less anxious about the exam! I'd say it's definitely worth the money!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — NO LONGER SUPPORTED

*2022-04-13, version 6.7.9*

When you open the app says no longer supported and redirects to download updated version with a link that doesn’t go anywhere.

### 1/5 — This isn’t actually an app

*2021-05-11, version 6.7.9*

It’s Just a container that makes you download a different app.

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2020-12-12, version 6.7.9*

I downloaded the app and it redirected me to a page that has a subscription fee for a new app after seeing the benefit of this app is that there was no subscription fee. Clear bait and switch.

### 1/5 — NOT suitable for Broker exam prep

*2020-04-09, version 6.7.6*

I purchased full version of the app and after taking most of the questions realized that there were no questions about brokers practice. I contacted the customer service and they assured me that it’s suitable for both real estate salesperson and broker  exams. I still went ahead and bought an exam prep from Allied school and there’s a HUGE difference in questions. I believe this app is a fraud and will NOT prepare you for real estate broker exam. Save yourself time.

### 1/5 — Don’t believe the hype!

*2019-05-24, version 6.7.3*

The questions on this app have nothing to do with the actual test. Then they make you jump through many ridiculous hoops to get your money back. Do yourself a favor and go to a live crash course.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever!

*2019-02-11, version 6.7*

This app is always freezing, dropping your testing progress, and always asks to restore your premium upgraded membership. Save your time & money. So many better apps out there!

### 1/5 — Horrible prep app

*2019-01-28, version 6.7*

I paid $25 for this app and it is the slowest app ever. It never works and not to mention did not prepare me for the real estate exam at all. I am not happy with this app at all. Lastly it makes me sign up every time I open the app and will not allow me to log in. Biggest waste of money ever.

### 1/5 — Don’t don’t buy this app nothing came from those 500 quesitons

*2019-01-08, version 6.7*

DO NOT buy this app
I just finished my sales person test and got failed. I tried hard to study and memorized all 500 questions from this app. HOWEVER, only 2 similar question showed up from test. Seriously I lost my time and $360of testing fee. I just requested to full refund and they advertised.
Don’t trust this app. NoNoNo

### 1/5 — Don’t bother purchasing

*2018-11-17, version 6.7*

Purchased as an additional study aid with no luck.  The questions asked in the app had absolutely zero todo with the actual questions on the exam

### 1/5 — FALSE ADVERTISING

*2018-09-04, version 6.5.5*

This app states that the questions are pulled from the CA Real Estate Exam Blueprint and updated each day. I just took the exam and ZERO questions from the app were in the test.

The best app I’ve found to assist with studying for the real estate exam!

### 5/5 — Practice when ever you got a free moment!

With this app I can practice when ever I have  a free moment!

### 5/5 — Awesome study guide passed California test

*2019-01-10, version 6.7*

Best mobile program to study on the go. Passed the test with only doing half of the full 500. Give it a try.

### 5/5 — Handy app

*2018-12-03, version 6.7*

Great app for practice questions just wish there were more of them before having to pay for the upgrade!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-10-18, version 6.6*

Easy to use

### 5/5 — Enjoyable way to study

*2018-09-30, version 6.5.6*

Although I haven’t taken the Real Estate exam yet, I feel confident that I will be able to pass the test with the help of this prep course. thank you.

### 5/5 — California RE Exam

*2018-09-25, version 6.5.6*

Easy to use, customizable, relevant info helped me pass the CA RE exam on my first try. Was Leary of spending the $25 but it was money well spent. I knew the majority of the questions asked because I completed the 500 practice questions offered with this app. Money well spent!

### 5/5 — Mrs Rosena

*2018-09-01, version 6.5.5*

Awesome app

### 5/5 — Two thumbs up 👍👍

*2018-08-10, version 6.5.4*

Great for on the go study. Also great multiple choice study guide.

### 5/5 — The Best App To Ensure You Will Pass Hands Down!

*2018-08-04, version 6.5.4*

Best app you could possibly ever use and teach you your full potential. The explanations help with the logic of future questions as well. 

Also, it’s a perfect, easy to use interface and the most relevant questions if you really take time to study answers; things will start to click and naturally you will be making proper associations with other topics that may be on the exam. 

I personally would get daily notifications sent to phone for study times and would always start by clicking the link to answer the “question of the day” (this usually got me inspired to smash through, after that...usually onto the “quick 10 questions” when ever I had time I studied even is for a small break no real excuse not to.
