### 5/5 — Worth the money.

*2019-07-22*

I used all of the additional $20, it looks like the 200 questions are the ones from the back of the 2nd edition book. I was hesitant, but it was worth it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review, Tony! We are happy you found it so useful. We have heard a lot that people love having the interactive questions on the app in addition to having the print book. Best of luck!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-05-08*

Highly recommend this app in conjunction with the CNL review book. Passed the CNL exam the first time and felt prepared.

**Developer response:** That is fantastic to hear! Thank you so much :) Congratulations!!!

### 4/5 — Good review

*2017-07-25*

I like that you can choose areas to focus on and customize the quizzes. There are a handful of questions that are scored wrong, but the rational gives the correct answer.  I wish there was a way to report the questions scored wrong.  I found this very helpful and I hope it helps!  I take my test tomorrow!

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2017-07-22*

I am attempting to study for the CNL certification exam using this app, but I am becoming increasingly more frustrated with scoring errors and difficult to understand questions. Think I'll ditch this study method!

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear about the issues that you have run into within the product. We do review everything before it gets released but would be happy to look into anything that you think needs to be reviewed. If you see anything, please send us an email to feedback@hltcorp.com with some information and we would be happy to review. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2017-07-08*

Allows me to practice anytime.  Keeps questions mixed up.

### 3/5 — Good. But needs updating.

*2017-05-10*

Too many oddly worded questions, incorrectly scored questions, or questions that I honestly cannot figure out what they're asking. But it's most irritating when questions are scored incorrectly. 

Keep updating and I'll update my review.
