However, there are so many bugs that are obviously due to the app being vibe coded. Like, it feels like the developers didn’t try any test cases. Also the AI helper doesn’t work half the time. And I paid the subscription. The questions being AI doesn’t bother me since the official exam questions are written with AI assistance as well. Great potential, but it feels like there was definitely some oversight. ### 2/5 — May be useful for some.. *2026-06-12* So many of the questions and answers have not appeared in any other training materials I have used. I got about 70-75% on the practice tests on the app, but 85-90% on other practice exams like Professor Messers. I took the actual exam recently and easily passed. This app will just confuse you more than anything **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear that you passed your exam! Our question bank is designed to cover a wide range of topics and difficulty levels, including questions that may not appear in other study materials. The goal is to help users build a deeper understanding of the subject and be prepared for different question styles they may encounter on the actual exam. We appreciate your feedback regarding the differences between our practice tests and other resources. User feedback helps us continue improving the quality and relevance of our content. Congratulations again on passing your exam, and we wish you continued success in your career! ### 4/5 — Highly recommend! *2026-04-29, version 4.7.2* I wish I had accessed this app sooner. This app helps you in your studies for the sec+ certification very well. It, not only, lets you know when you’re right but also tells you when you’re wrong and why. That is so important for those of us who intend to pass this exam. Get it today! ### 5/5 — Passed! *2026-03-27, version 4.6.4* Passed the first time around using this application! Next up is Comptia Network + ### 5/5 — Recommend *2026-03-27, version 4.6.4* This is a very helpful app. I only started using it today and I’m impressed with how helpful it has been for me. ### 5/5 — Passed! *2026-03-12, version 4.6.4* Great app. I Passed at first attempt ### 5/5 — Very Practical *2026-03-11, version 4.6.4* If you’re looking for a decent study app that offers a wide range of questions and knowledge this would be the one to go to. I have the free version and it has been very helpful on a daily basis. I could only imagine what features are included in the paid version ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-03-09, version 4.6.4* I love this app I’ve been studying for my exam ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-03-03, version 4.6.4* This app was helpful and an essential guide in helping me achieve my certification! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-02-27, version 4.6.4* I love this app ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-02-19* I’m using it to study **Developer response:** That’s great to hear — you’re in the right place! Stay consistent with your practice, review the explanations carefully, and focus on understanding why each answer is correct. If you ever need extra clarification or study tips, we’re here to help you make the most of your prep. ### 4/5 — Use to pass 1st time *2026-02-10* Pretty good app, the best out of the options available. Helped me pass the test first try with a score of 805/900. Pros: Most questions on the app are equal to or harder than the 701 test difficulty, very few easy questions on this app, so if you are doing well on here, you will do well with the exam. Decent explanations and the AI assistant isn’t bad. Cons: Premium is a bit pricey but ultimately worth it. With premium you should be able to skip past the learning so you can practice particular questions within a domain. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this awesome review and congratulations on passing with an 805/900 — that’s an incredible result! We’re really glad the difficulty level, explanations, and AI assistant helped prepare you for the real exam. We also appreciate your honest feedback about Premium, and we’re actively improving domain-based practice and smarter learning paths so you can focus exactly where you need. Thanks again for trusting our app to get you exam-ready! ### 5/5 — Best free on the go practice *2026-02-03, version 4.6.2* This content is great for helping me study for the exam! Edit: I have passed my Security+ first try, and now I will be using the A+ app to study on the go for that cert. Thank you 🫶 ### 5/5 — Great for Studying *2026-02-01, version 4.6.2* I suggest this app for studying for sure. ### 5/5 — Super helpful companion *2026-01-30, version 4.6.2* Used it as a study tool and has been super helpful! ### 5/5 — Best free on the go practice *2026-01-29, version 4.6.2* This content is great for helping me study for the exam! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — PRO FEATURES DONT WORK *2026-07-21* I subscribed to pro but the pro features are still blocked!!! I tried resubscribing but I keep seeing the same window prompting me to subscribe although I ALREADY SUBSCRIBED. Their support sent me the same generic email twice without helping me. **Developer response:** Hi, we're very sorry for the inconvenience. We identified the issue and fixed it right away. Please completely close the app and reopen it—your PRO status should update automatically. If you still have any trouble, please contact us and we'll be happy to help immediately. Since the issue has been resolved, we'd really appreciate it if you could reconsider your rating. Your support means a lot to us. Thank you! ### 1/5 — App looks like AI made *2026-07-09* Lay-out and UI feels very weird, look pretty like vibecoding app to me, and with ridiculous pricing. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Our app was first released in 2020, long before today's AI-assisted development tools became widespread. Over the years, we've continuously invested in improving the app, adding new features, refining the UI, and enhancing the overall learning experience based on user feedback. As for pricing, we believe it is fair and competitive compared to other providers offering similar features and content quality. We understand that pricing is subjective, but we strive to deliver value that justifies the cost. And to clarify, there's no "vibe coding" here. Our app has been thoughtfully developed and continuously maintained by a dedicated team over many years. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. ### 1/5 — No way to unsubscribe from payments *2026-05-01, version 4.7.2* I’m trying to unsubscribe and not have to pay. I haven’t needed this for like a year+ and I’m still charged 16.99 a month yet can’t seem to cancel the subscription. I want out!! ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-03-25, version 4.6.4* Bunch of politically motivated question as well as a bunch of straight up wrong answers that they swear are correct. Take this garbage somewhere else no thank you ### 1/5 — Not an accurate testing resource *2025-11-18* Badly phrased questions, much more difficult than other testing software. Level of knowledge much higher than needed for exam. Very expensive too. Feels like a scam. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your feedback. Our questions are intentionally more challenging because they’re designed to fully prepare you for the real exam, and many users have successfully passed using the same question bank — you can see this reflected in countless positive reviews. The content and difficulty are built to strengthen your knowledge, not to overwhelm you, and we hope you’ll give it another try. ### 1/5 — Continuous errors and scammy behavior *2025-09-20* I have had the Premium version for several months, but since a few days the app keeps saying that I have the normal version and have to buy premium. I looked into my Apple subscriptions and they confirmed, that the premium subscription is still going and hasn’t been canceled. This is unacceptable, especially since your app is pricy, yet I still can’t use the premium feature that I payed for. This has to be fixed immediately. Also, the App keeps crashing and especially the AI ChatBot doesn’t work 80% out of the time. **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about the trouble you’re experiencing with your subscription and the app’s performance. Please reply to our email so we can assist you directly and resolve this issue as quickly as possible. We want to assure you that we never scam our users, and we’ll make sure your Premium access and features work properly again. ### 1/5 — Feel like questions written by AI. Constant 2 answers that mean same thing but worded differently *2025-08-30* This app man… there are many questions which will have 2 answers that are nearly exactly the same. The only difference will be slight differences in wording (words that mean the same thing). The correct answer will always be the wording that makes less sense to me or probably matches some policy on some security framework page 100 something. So even though the answer you selected means the same thing, you were wrong. I don’t have this problem with Dr Messer’s or COMPTIA’s mini practice tests because they always have one distinctive answer rather than an answer based off semantics. This app really feels like it’s written by AI and the AI bot that is incorporated into every aspect and quiz reaffirms my suspicion. **Developer response:** Thanks for your detailed feedback! Just to clarify, the questions in our app are carefully written and reviewed by a team of subject-matter experts, not generated by AI. The AI you see inside the app is only there as a study assistant to explain answers, give tips, and provide extra support. We understand that even slight wording differences can make a big impact—this is intentional because the real exam often tests nuanced distinctions that can change the correct answer completely. Our goal is to prepare you for that tricky exam style so you’re ready for what you’ll actually face. ### 1/5 — Disappointed, not applicable, hard to understand *2025-08-26, version 4.4.0* The questions are written strangely, as if from a poor translation. Sometimes grammatical errors are found , and sometimes the answers are incorrect. Looking at other material found on places such as YouTube, the questions do not align well. Feels like disinformation. ### 1/5 — Keep crashing *2025-05-16, version 4.0.7* The app keep crashing on iPad, i re-installed and still the same ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2025-04-09, version 4.0.7* This app is extremely overrated. The questions are terribly worded. I don’t know how anyone uses these to study for the exam. If it was possible, I would give this 0 stars. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — CompTIA Security+ Exam Prep *2026-07-29, version 4.8.0* Loving this app I have a passion for this certificate ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-27* Pretty good ngl helps for keeping up during downtime **Developer response:** We're so glad to hear that our CompTIA Security+ app has been helpful for you during downtime!

It's wonderful that you found the combination with the book effective. Thanks for recommending Anki flashcards too – great tip for term memorization!

I’m learning and retaining a lot. ### 5/5 — Excellent App! *2026-04-27, version 4.7.2* Topics and questions very relevant and spot on with context. Would like to an improvement with simulation questions but otherwise excellent resource. ### 5/5 — Great material *2026-03-31, version 4.6.4* Even on the free version, I’m getting thought provoking questions with the option to get a more difficult version of the question. Great app so far. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
