Worried
The overall app is good, however, many of the questions are poorly worded and contain many grammar mistakes. Many of the questions also directly contradict each other with different answers. Some even leave out critical pieces of information in order to answer the question. At this point I’m pretty hesitant to drop $700 to test based on studying with just this app. I’m no noob, but one has to get a grasp on any test questions and how the test is structures before taking a test. I’m not sure this app fits the bill.

Mostly good questions, sometimes have to guess at what word they meant.
Freezes more on iPad than iPhone. Useful to study at every opportunity.
Very disappointed
The questions aren’t the best written
Ultimate CISM for a reason.
Great review and practice preparation materials. Everything is referenced in the current manual therefore you know you are not missing anything or being mislead. Will report back in a month.
Great customer service as well! Shout out to Shealyn for helping me. Thank you!

dev needs to read crash logs and fix threading
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.
