## What is CFP Pocket Prep?

Pocket Prep is your award-winning tool in mobile learning and exam preparation. Pocket Prep allows you to study anywhere, anytime, right from your mobile device. We strive to make studying more efficient by redefining how you prepare for the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) exam.

* EdTech Digest “Cool Tool” award winner

The Science Behind Mobile Learning:
Overloading your brain with too much information at once is a common study mistake. Research has shown that smaller, more frequent study sessions are the key to knowledge retention. In other words, taking short quizzes on the go is a much more effective means of exam preparation than reading page after page in a textbook. Apps offer the benefit of interaction, which means you’re far more likely to remember a concept you engage with rather than one you’ve only read about.

Take your CFP studies with you, no matter where life takes you.

### 3/5 — Great, but...

*2019-09-27, version 6.7.3*

This app was great initially. I purchased the $50 unlimited package. The questions in the app are great, and I also really like the question of the day, and other features on the app.

On September 26, I opened the app, and all my progress was gone. Also it brought me back to the free version. After maybe 10 minutes of trying to figure out what was wrong, I tried the ‘restore purchase’ button. It brought back the premium service, but all my progress had been lost. I already had answered more than half the questions at that point. For reference, when I started the app, I was 94 days from CFP test day, and on the day I lost all my progress and data, I was about 44 days away from CFP test day. 

Definitely frustrating, as apparently, there’s nothing I can do to get my old progress back with over half the questions answered and already tracked areas for improvement. According to Oleksandr, a team member that I messaged. He then ended the message with verbatim: Regardless of your login state, you can tap the restore purchase button on the upgrade screen to re-enable your premium access. Hope this helps! 

It does not help, as I did that already, and it is now impossible to get my old data back. Again, great app if they can keep your data. After paying $50 you’d expect the app to automatically track everything. Guess not though.

### 5/5 — Recommend

*2019-04-30, version 6.7*

I passed the CFP on my first try thanks to this app.  I wouldn’t go as far as to say you should use this as your main source of study material, but as a supplement and using this on my downtime (while in the bathroom, eating lunch, etc.) definitely helped tipped the scales in my favor and drill-in some of the important concepts and topics.  As long as the information is up to date, I’d recommend using this app.  Remember that there’s so much material to cover, so it’s all about practice and repetition.

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

### 5/5 — Great App to help you pass The CFP exam

*2019-04-11, version 6.7*

Very nice easy to use app. I much preferred using this app in my spare time leading up to the exam as opposed to flash cards.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We greatly appreciate you taking the time to leave us valuable feedback.

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2019-04-11, version 6.7*

I bought this app for $50 because it claims to have 700 different questions. I started noticing that multiple questions were being repeated and they were being deducted from the question bank. I sent multiple messages and they insisted it was a system glitch and recommended that I reset the app, so I did. And the same thing happened again! I went through all 700 questions and they were not 700 different questions. The same questions were being recycled so I started taking screenshots as proof. I’ve tried to talk to someone but they take a day to respond via message and state that they do not take phone calls. I would like to speak to a live person but they do not accept calls. For $50, I expect to have 700 DIFFERENT questions, but my guess is that there possibly 350 questions. I would’ve paid $25 for that. I am a super busy mom/career woman and do not have time to go though this.  DO NOT BUY, I think they intentionally do this!

**Developer response:** Hi there! So sorry to hear about this issue! Please contact us through the app or our website, and we’ll get this problem sorted out asap. We appreciate your understanding!

### 1/5 — CFP App Be Aware and don’t buy it! Wrong Answers... not updated to 2018 Tax Laws

*2018-09-08, version 6.5.5*

So, I spent my $25 and basically wasted my money! I was working on the Tax Questions and I noticed errors. One of them is related to Moving Expenses. According to JTCA of 2018, IRS doesn’t allow you to deduct moving expenses. They used too, based on the OLD Tax Laws! Also, the Kiddie Tax Question says that Kiddie Tax is based on the Parents Tax Rate! Wrong! In 2018, Kiddie Tax is based on the Trusts and Estate Taxes. I am disappointed! Already contacted the App Creator to ask for Reimbursement. And to be perfectly clear, I checked off the app version related to 2018 Tax Laws and not the March of 2018- which tested Old Tax Laws version!!! Don’t buy it! Unless, you want to fail your 2018 CFP exam! Alexandra D.

### 1/5 — Great substance poor execution

*2018-09-05, version 6.5.5*

Breadth of questions, structure of the question of the day, reminder to study and customized quizzes all are fantastic! However, app is slow, problematic upon opening and requires sign in often for no apparent reason.

**Developer response:** Hi Curtis! We’re sorry to hear the app is misbehaving! What you’re describing is not typical app behavior. Please contact us so we can provide suggestions on how to improve your study experience. We can be reached through the app’s Settings menu — we’ll keep an eye out for your message! 👀

### 4/5 — Good foundation

*2018-08-31, version 6.5.5*

This is not meant to be the only tool for studying, but it’s good content to stay fresh on high level topics in preparation for the CFP exam. The app is kind slow, which you wouldn’t expect from a paid app.

### 3/5 — Great app when it works

*2018-03-01, version 6.5.1*

Super glitchy and only works when it wants to.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2017-12-02, version 6.3.2*

For $27.99 this program is not worth it.  Spend your money elsewhere.  I wish I would have not bought this and would like a refund, but probably won’t get one. Cheers!

### 5/5 — Great additional study material on the go

*2017-03-20, version 6.0.11*

The questions are rather easy in terms of what you will see in the CFP, but it helps. Think of all the 600+ questions as a test on flash cards. I would use it while I was in the gym. It is worth the 25 bucks.
