No Longer Supported
Hello, if this application is no longer supported and just redirects to the pocket prep app please remove it from the store.
Good Study Tool
Very helpful in studying, but the images for questions do not show up.
Handy but flawed
The app is handy but a lot of features do not seem to work on the IOS app. Supports only answer seems to be resetting your session wiping out progress.
Response from developer
Hi there! So sorry to hear about these issues! Please contact us through the app and we’ll get this problem sorted out asap. We appreciate your understanding and support.
Okay so far but..
the app has been okay so far, but i am unable to see more details for questions that have images. i have not been able to see a single one. this is probably a bug, and it would be nice to get this working.
Response from developer
Hi there! This is a known issue we are working on. The fix should come within next couple of weeks!
No images displayed
Images do not display in premium edition. I will update this review if they fix it.
Response from developer
We are working on fixing this already. Hope to get it fixed by the end of the month.
Great study resource
I truly enjoy this app. The only issue I have are the snippet questions. When you select the snippet there is no data to view so you always get the question wrong. When you try to contact the message center and provide a snapshot of the issue the app closes out and you cannot send the data to the message center for assistance.

Questions with Images are practically pointless
Images won’t load

Good, but not sufficient on its own
I took the CEH v10 soon after it switched from v9. The app updated to reflect v10, but it wasn’t really representative of the new questions v10 included.
Otherwise, it was an easy way to study on the go.

Good app but issues
Good app but not fully reliable. Any Questions containing images have issues because images don’t load. Paid for premium and not happy seeing that. Will change if this is fixed
Great!!!
It’s great!
Great but 1 error
I paid $40 for the premium version and really like the app. 1 problem... no images appear. It says something along the lines of “determine what attack vector is being used in the image”, but then the image does not load.
app dev needs to read crash logs and fix
All versions of the PocketPrep apps display the same problems. Frequent hangs/freezes, crashes, and lost data. Reading the device/app logs (by connecting device to Xcode) shows most of the problems are due to poor thread management. Long activities on the main thread being system halted after timeout is exceeded, or threads trying to dispatch work to themselves. This is sloppy coding. And, it’s obvious they reuse the same code across all of their apps.
If I put my device in airplane mode, these apps do behave better... further confirming most of the freeze/crash occurrences are within the thread management of network calls and SQLite data updates (which is clearly indicated in the crash logs).
I contacted PocketPrep directly about data loss from app crashes, provided details, got an automated reply, followed by absolutely no response from them.
As much as I like the idea of these apps and the progress tracking features, it’s nearly addictive when it works, the reality is these apps aren’t stable and the metrics data is gibberish.
In hindsight I should have spent the money purchasing additional books and avoided these apps like the plague that they are.

good questions; garbage app
app crashes constantly and contains too many bugs
Unable to View Images
I paid for the Ultimate version of the application and am unable to view the images on some of the questions. Please fix this as soon as possible.
Too many bugs
I like the layout and the chapter by chapter selection for the tests and quizzes. There are far too many bugs though.
Sometimes when you finish a quiz and click submit, the app closes and you don’t get your score. Trying spending 35 minutes taking a 100 question quiz and then not getting any feedback.
The app also doesn’t track the volume of questions correctly. If you take the same quiz for chapter one over and over again, the app treats each question answered as a part of the total amount of questions answered for the entire pocket prep bank of questions. So for instance when you start the app reads “0 of 800 questions answered”, but if you take the chapter one quiz 5 times, at 20 questions a piece, it’ll read “100 of 800 questions answered”. By chapter 4 the app indicated I’d answered all the questions in the bank.
The app also freezes between screens, it sometimes populates the answer for you for questions, it has some visual questions where you can’t even view the image they are trying to present so you can’t answer the question, and it repeats the same question in some quizzes.
Not worth the money.

Good questions, but with 1 Problem
I like how this app works for the most part, but anytime there is a question with an attached image, the image Never shows up, so I can’t ever answer the question.
Prices just got raised
Had just decided to buy when the price was raised another $10. Too bad. Good product but not worth $35.
Perfect
I strongly recommend not using the curriculum on this app as a memorization tool to take the CEH certification test. It gives you volume and page number if you have the EC Council books and I love that part. Even if you can’t or can answer the question, you can go back and read to get a full understanding of the scenario or question. It also gives you a break down of your practice exams to show you where at in the book you need to go back and concentrate more on. This is a great app and well worth the money spent so far.

Test more before deploying please
Since app update it has been super slow and constantly logs me out... it was never this slow before
