### 1/5 — Too many bugs for $25/mo

*2026-06-04, version 3.3.4*

Constant “app failed to perform a request” failures, figure example images never load, duplicate answer choices, and constant poor grammar. When attempting to submit a contact support ticket, more bugs prevent anything from being submitted.

### 1/5 — After I bought annual subscription it crashed and never worked again

*2026-01-14, version 3.3.4*

Scam don’t buy this app

### 1/5 — Cancel subscription

*2025-10-16, version 3.3.3*

It won’t let me cancel subscription without jumping through 50 flaming hoops

### 4/5 — Well thought out

*2025-03-19, version 3.3.3*

Works well by focusing on what needs to be learned and not where you’re already strong in.

### 2/5 — Decent

*2025-03-16, version 3.3.3*

This app seems to comes with about 200 questions per certification, which is not ideal. If you do 3-4 practice exams, you’ll quickly start seeing repeat questions, and start losing value from the app. Additionally, the questions contain a lot of typos and other small issues. Plus, the error reporting system does not seem to work. You’ll probably be better off buying an exam textbook and making your own flashcards.

### 4/5 — Some questions are good, some not

*2024-12-16, version 3.3.2*

Good question:
Unable to access network resources; IP is 169.254.x.x. What is the cause of the issue?
Followed by 4 answers that someone who doesn’t know the answer wouldn’t know the difference between.

Meh question:
What device provides physical security by scanning the human eye?
Followed by 3 answers that are obviously incorrect and then “retinal scanner”

TLDR: If you can differentiate between pointless/ nonsense questions and good questions, you might get something out of this app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t transfer

*2024-12-01, version 3.3.2*

I bought the lifetime subscription under the same email last year on Samsung and today I came back to Apple, the app states there’s no active subscription.

### 2/5 — Used to be much better

*2024-10-23, version 3.3.2*

So many missing diagrams, repeated answers, wrong answer set for the questions, etc.  

The “report this question” button is broken also.

### 2/5 — Good starting point, but don't rely on for the bulk of your study.

*2024-07-10, version 3.3.2*

I used this app quite a bit to study for the Sec+ exam and I felt like it did a decent job of teaching definition and terms. While the test/quiz questions give you scenarios that set up the questions, I felt like the format wasn't very close to the actual exam style of questions. I would recommend redesigning your questions to match more closely with the actual Sec+ exam format.

### 2/5 — Faulty/buggy questions

*2024-05-15, version 3.3.2*

Some questions would reference a picture that wasn’t there.  When you try to report faulty questions, the reporting feature never worked
