### 4/5 — As Good as it Gets for Test Prep

*2020-02-25, version 6.7.6*

Just passed the CAPM.  This app is probably the best one out there for the test prep.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2019-03-07, version 6.7*

Great tool for your toolbox in achieving the CAPM.

### 5/5 — Great prep app!

*2019-02-11, version 6.7*

I registered for this app 4 days before my exam and all of the questions were great in preparing me for the CAPM! I was able to create my own exams based on sections/topics I wanted to work on more. Some of the questions were asked in a way that was very similar to the actual exam. Besides the app/desktop version not allowing me to access my last 200+ out of 750 questions, it is a great tool to use as part of your studying! I went in feeling a lot more prepared than I did days earlier and wished I found this weeks earlier. Thank you for creating this awesome app because I passed my CAPM with flying colors!

### 5/5 — SUPER HELPFUL

*2019-01-31, version 6.7*

The questions are formatted almost to the test and actually get you in the mindset of how you are supposed to analyze and answer the questions 

Do recommend upgrading to the other packages as the free set are okay but do not go as depth as you need to learn

Con: App can be glitchy at times but nothing too terrible

### 5/5 — Pocket Prep

*2019-01-26, version 6.7*

This app is very well designed, and very easy to use.
Quizz questions and explanations are very well done as well.
And the price is reasonable.

Go for it!

### 5/5 — Pocket Prep CAPM app is key

*2018-09-20, version 6.5.6*

Passed my CAPM exam today on the first try, scoring above target in 9 of 14 areas.  If I hadn't invested in the full CAPM app a few months back, I doubt I would have been successful.

The app doesn't have all the possible questions and answers.  It trains you to think through the question and understand the ITTO process, roles of the PM, stakeholder, customers, and others.

It could use a lot more info on Agile/Waterfall, but that's a new area for the PMBOK anyways.

Key is to get the full app, start taking the larger tests, READING the explanations whether you got the answer right or wrong, and then keep re-testing.  It's easier to read and digest info with this app than the online PMBOK.  You won't memorize the answers, instead you'll gain a much better understanding of the process through repetition.

Don't hesitate on getting the full app.  $20 investment in your professional capabilities will return exponential dividends.

### 5/5 — Great tool for CAPM

*2018-07-09, version 6.5.4*

I passed my CAPM exam july of 2018. Question here were very realistic to what I had on the exam. I used another online course and this app to practice.

### 5/5 — Great App to pass CAPM

*2018-06-05, version 6.5.3*

I used the PMBOK to study chapters and the app allows for questions from a single chapter or how many you prefer. I took the pilot exam for CAPM and passed with above target rating. I tried to read the book only but the information wasn't sticking. When I did the test questions in the app and started learning how PMI would be asking questions I started to understand the information. Trust me had I just studied the book only and didn't have these practice questions I wouldn't have done well on the real exam. Pay for the full app it’s definitely worth it to pass first try.

### 5/5 — User friendly

*2018-05-15, version 6.5.3*

I enjoyed this app. I used it for a month and passed my CAPM on the first try. The developer sent me an email the day of my test saying Good Luck. I think the questions are tougher on it than the actual exam, but that’s good.

### 5/5 — Great CAPM prep

*2018-03-07, version 6.5.1*

I used this every day for 2 months to help me prepare for the CAPM exam. I passed!

### 5/5 — Great exam prep tool

*2018-03-06, version 6.5.1*

I used only this tool for my practice exams. This was a fantastic tool, all questions are pulled from the PMBOK, with clear and concise explanations for the justification of an answer. I can confidently say that I was able to pass the CAPM due to my practice on this tool.

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2018-02-01, version 6.4*

This app was great in helping motivate me to study each day. I really enjoyed the daily pop question and ability to see where I needed to study harder, and create custom practice quizzes.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Please Remove from App Store

*2022-11-02, version 6.7.9*

App is no longer supported. I believe the CAPM prep is in the Pocket Prep Professional app now. Please remove from App Store.

### 1/5 — No longer supported?

*2022-03-25, version 6.7.9*

Why be on the store only to download and then be greeted upon opening the application to find that it is no longer supported?

### 1/5 — It’s just going to tell you to download something else

*2022-03-02, version 6.7.9*

Needs to be removed from the App Store. All it does is tells you to download a different app

### 1/5 — It was great but it stopped working.

*2019-07-08, version 6.7.3*

It crashes and freezes like 7 out of 10 times I go to use it. It was awesome before that!

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2018-06-15, version 6.5.4*

Not impressed. In the practice tests it gives an explanation for the correct answer and cites what page it can be found in the PMBOK 6th edition, but when I look it up in the PMBOK 6th edition that I bought from PMI, it isn’t there. Not even close. So I don’t trust this to prepare me for the exam. I’d give zero stars but that’s not an option.

### 1/5 — Did Not Like

*2015-05-03, version 5.0*

Plenty of the answers are incorrect. 

For example, which is not an input to the control scope process?
The correct answer was change requests, however it does appear in the answer list. Only verified deliverables and validated deliverables which are used interchangeably by the pmbok. And although "verified" is the technical term used in the pmbok (which the capm test is based on), it was chosen as the correct answer for this question, although incorrect.

Another question was  "Which process within the time management area is used to monitor performance against the baseline..."
The answer is control schedule as it is the best answer in this case but it is not listed in the answer list. Instead, control scope (which is part of the Scope Management knowledge area) was supposedly the correct answer. 

There are many questions that have 3 correct answers and one obviously incorrect answer within the answer choices, but the question is not "which is NOT" which it should be. I paid $20 for the full version of this app and it's inaccurate and missing information namely the last two chapters of what is tested on for the capm exam. I would not recommend anyone purchase this app and I demand my money back for such a misleading service.

### 2/5 — Decent, but...

*2018-12-18, version 6.7*

Questions are helpful.  However, does not actually send emails when user wants to reset password; reverts to free level after long pause (overnight) even if user has paid for increased number of questions.

### 2/5 — Create custom exams doesn't function properly

*2016-01-02, version 5.3*

If you want to test on specific pimbok chapters you will also get questions from other chapters that you didn't specify. They advertise customizable tests but right now that feature doesn't function correctly. One this is fixed I can upgrade my rating.

### 3/5 — Questions

*2019-08-15, version 6.7.3*

The questions are not written clearly.

### 3/5 — Great questions; buggy app

*2018-12-10, version 6.7*

The content of the app is invaluable — excellent questions, gives you the PMBOK pages for review, etc. However, I keep having issues with the app not storing previous test results, asking the same question of the day multiple days in a row, not updating my exam readiness page, occasionally crashing for no reason, etc ....

### 5/5 — Passed the CAPM. Now on to the PMP

*2020-05-19, version 6.7.6*

It’s not a perfect app but I used this app to build confidence with the exam. I used this app with my knowledge and process chart. I still use the same format studying for the PMP: PMBOK, knowledge/process chart and this app. Wish me luck with passing the PMP. Advice: study, study and study no magic with this exam.

### 5/5 — Awesome app! Passed my exam!

*2020-01-07, version 6.7.6*

Very easy to use app that helped me pass my exam. I got the premium version and it was totally worth it. I was able to study on the go and took over 600 practice questions through the app. The app also highlights areas for improvement and tracks your progress. Highly recommend and will definitely use this app if I decide to take my PMP exam.

**Developer response:** Congratulations on passing the exam and taking the time to leave us a review. We wish you the best! 🎉

### 5/5 — Invaluable tool for exam prep

*2019-12-30, version 6.7.6*

I just passed my CAPM exam and owe a lot of my success to this app, which does a great job representing the types of questions you’ll see on the exam, in particular how heavily weighted the exam is on the ITTOs of each process and how you’ll need to know them in context. Get the unlimited version so you have access to all of the questions - you won’t regret it.

### 5/5 — Must have Convenient tool! Passed CAPM exam

*2019-12-18, version 6.7.6*

I’m writing this review the same day that I passed my CAPM exam. I used several resources to study for the exam, but I truly feel this app helped me secure a successful pass. Although there could be some improvements with the app, the content within the app is excellent because it pulls the references straight from the PMBOK guide with page numbers and they update the content on a regular basis. They give explanations to every question which helps your learn why the answer is correct and why the wrong answers are not correct. It’s critical to understand the reasoning behind the questions rather than memorizing. I bought the ultimate package 18 days before my exam and I passed with above target on over half of the subjects and target for the rest and only 2 areas below target. I also read Joseph Phillips All in One guide front to back and used his practice exam software. I have the PMBOK guide, but I rarely touched the book and only glanced at a few pages when I wanted clarification on a subject I wanted more information. The fact you have access to 700+ practice questions at the tip of your fingers made it a no brainer for me. The questions helped a great deal for the official exam. Highly recommend. And if you fail, you still have the app forever and can reattack it!! Last piece of advice: know the 49 processes and the chart; know the ITTOs for the processes.

### 5/5 — Highly Recommend

*2019-09-22, version 6.7.3*

I bought this app to review my knowledge of the PMBOK before taking the exam... WOW. This app helped me pass the exam in my first attempt. I highly recommend reading the explanations of each questions too. It worked for me! Best part, you can take short quizzes wherever, whenever.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re so thrilled you enjoyed the app. We wish you the best!

### 5/5 — I PASSED!!

*2019-09-11, version 6.7.3*

Great study guide tool to prepare for the CAPM! Upgraded to the premium version, definitely worth the money!

### 5/5 — It works!!

*2019-08-25, version 6.7.3*

I had 1 week to prep for my CAPM exam and came across this app in another review. It really does work!! Use it as a supplement to any study/prep guide you’re using and keep re-testing until you’re getting most of the answers right. READ the explanations to answers, to understand. I agree, it’s not really so much as memorizing the questions/answers, it more that it helps you retain the information from repetition.

### 5/5 — CAPM

*2019-06-12, version 6.7.3*

It has a lot of great questions, and I can access it from any device. I would recommend others to use the study tool.

### 5/5 — It really helped me!

*2019-05-21, version 6.7.3*

I took a prep course and had not studied any notes in the two weeks before my scheduled exam! I took the quick quizzes and the questions of the day.  2 days before the exam, i upgraded to the premium version! I’m so THANKFUL! This app helped me prepare and I passed my first time around! Awesome job to the developers! I’ll be downloading the PMP version now!

### 5/5 — Above Target on ALL Are

*2019-05-16, version 6.7.3*

Took my exams today and got Above target overall and in all areas. Questions were a lot less technical than the app which was awesome as it allowed me to be way more prepared. Studied the PMBOK twice and used the app to customize each knowledge area the 2nd time around to revise after each chapter was done.
