What's New in Cadence

4.4.1

November 4, 2026

Version 4.4.1 adds a check-in for the week your scores come out, 12 new lessons, and corrections to 40 practice questions. AFTER EXAM DAY Cadence used to have nothing for the week after the NPTE. The day after your exam, Home asked whether you were retaking before you had a result, and study reminders kept warning that your streak was at risk. Now: - The day after your exam date, Home asks whether you sat it that day. If your date was only a placeholder, tap "No, change date" to fix it. - Until scores are due, Home shows when Cadence will ask how it went. - Six weekdays after your exam, when NPTE scores usually post, a notification and Home ask "Did you pass the NPTE?" Tap the notification to go straight to the question. "Still waiting" asks again in two days. - If you passed: a celebration, a card to share Cadence with the next class, and a direct link to manage your subscription. - If you didn't: pick a retake date, then mark the areas your score report flagged. Those become your plan's priorities, and all your progress carries over. Study reminders pause from exam day until you set a new date. Your answer syncs, so your phone and Mac ask only once. 12 NEW LESSONS Twelve new lessons fill gaps in the catalog, each written from and cited to the textbooks: - Infant motor tests and corrected age - Fetal alcohol syndrome - Sitting posture starts at the pelvis - Modified plantigrade after stroke - Grading dehydration - Arm versus leg exercise - Resistance training in children - How elastic resistance behaves - Pectoralis minor and scapular tilt - Stress fractures - Burn-proofing the home for sensory loss - Naming tumors by tissue of origin Each comes with four cited mastery questions and is ranked into the study plans. 40 PRACTICE QUESTIONS CORRECTED A student reported a garbled prosthetics question, so we reread all 2,158 practice questions the checkpoint diagnostics draw from and checked every fix against the textbooks. 40 were corrected. Ten marked the wrong answer as correct; others offered a second right answer, had a stem that contradicted itself, or had a rationale that disagreed with the key. The Timed Up and Go fall-risk cutoff now reads 13.5 seconds everywhere, where some questions said 12 or 14, and names the CDC's 12-second STEADI screen as the alternative. Your answer history is unchanged. Thanks to the student who reported it. RATING REQUESTS ONLY AFTER A WIN Cadence used to ask for an App Store rating in your first week, starting on the setup diagnostic before you had used the app. It now asks only after a win: a quiz of 10 or more questions at 80% or better, a mock exam score of 600 or higher, a diagnostic retake 20 or more points higher, or passing the NPTE. Outside of passing, it asks at most twice a year, and not before you've studied on three different days. To rate on your own terms, use Account > Rate Cadence; once you've opened it, Cadence stops asking. FIXED - Changing your exam date on one device no longer gets undone by another. Each time Cadence opened, it re-saved your exam date as a fresh edit, so whichever device you opened last could put the old date back. - The paywall no longer offers a free trial to students who have already had one. Apple allows one free trial per subscriber, so a returning subscriber was promised a free week and then charged from the first day. - The paywall and setup screens now quote Cadence's real totals. They had gone stale, undercounting lessons and questions and overcounting flashcards. The trial timeline also promised a Day 5 reminder that Cadence never sent; it now says Day 6 is your last day to cancel without being charged. - The 3-Month plan name no longer cuts off on the paywall. Cadence now includes 617 lessons across 316 units, 3,600+ questions - including the five 225-question mock exams built to the NPTE content outline - 1,100+ in-lesson mastery checks, and 1,700+ flashcards. Built by a DPT student, for DPT students.

User reviews

Great app

This app is awesome. As a father of an 8 month old, life can be very busy. This app allows me to make the most of my moments. The quick reference lesson plans, practice questions and simple flashcards have been so helpful. I highly recommend it!

Great app

This app is amazing and has everything you need in one place. I love the lessons feature to brush up on things you may not feel the most comfortable with. I would highly recommend this app to anyone studying for the NPTE.

Best NPTE App

Even when using other resources for board prep, I found myself coming back to this app to brush up on content through the built-in lessons. The practice questions consistently challenged me at the right level, and overall, the app is perfect at tailoring your experience to exactly what you need. Highly recommend!

Has everything you need

This app has everything you need to be successful on the NPTE. I’ve tried it out for a couple weeks and it is comprehensive of boards content. Pair it with some Google image searches occasionally to get a visual idea of some things and you’re gonna get an 800. Consistency is key. Use this app daily for not even an hour for a few months in advance and you’ll pass with flying colors

Great Idea

This app is much different than other apps out there. This one has flashcards, lessons and questions all in one place which makes it unique. I also love the readiness score it gives me confidence in days even when I’m not doing great
