Lots of info but not helpful
Research confirms memory works best when study conditions are the same as conditions when recall is needed. The EPPP is a multiple choice exam but this app uses hundreds of Q/A cards to test your knowledge. I don’t need to memorize all these things, I just need to be able to differentiate the correct answer from a list of options.

Good for learning but shouldn’t be your only guide
The format is great for memorization and for applying knowledge to situational questions, but some of the information is incorrect. It’s a great addition to other, more carefully edited (more expensive) study guides. Update: I passed! I was consistently getting 65-70% right on this app, so I was worried, but I got a 690 on the actual exam, despite the fact that there was a lot on there that I’d never seen before and lots of questions where I was guessing between 2 good answers. So this app definitely helped and was worth the money. Good luck everyone!

Worth it!
This app was essential for my studying. I used it on-the-go and during weekends where I wasn’t sitting down with the rest of my materials. It covers all the major sections and topics and I specifically loved how you can save flash cards you struggle getting correct and dispose of flash cards that you have down. 👍🏽 Buy it!

Very Useful for 2019 EPPP
At the recommendation of a colleague I purchased this app to study for the EPPP. I kept meticulous track of my study habits and can report the following:
I got a 688 on my first attempt after 173 hours of total study prep time. 56% of that time was spent using this app, 27% using a 2-year-old set of prep books, and 16% reading the DSM-5 or other misc. studying. This was very relevant to my overall prep and I would highly recommend. I would also recommend supplementing w/ some individual study/review and/or some of the prep books from the last few years.
Good Luck!

Doesn’t fit my learning style
I found that I do not use this app at all. It doesn’t allow to make a choice when deciding what the answer might be like some other multiple choice apps. EPPP pocket prep is what I would recommend for anyone who wants to simulate the actual multiple choice test question and answer format. I gave it 3 stars because I think for some this method might be useful. Good luck to all who are studying for the EPPP.

It’s good, but . . .
Appears comprehensive and is certainly easy to work through in a fairly through and focused way. However, there are a fair number of typos and oddly worded questions, so that you can’t really tell what is being asked for until you go to the answer. In addition, there are some areas in which content/answers conflict with the content of other study guide publishers and other areas where biases are fairly blatant (“praying over the sick is an example of superstitious behavior,” some of the ways in which questions on gender/LGBTQ are worded, etc.). This makes me nervous as a near-future test taker, but other positive reviews have convinced me to go forward. We’ll see.

DSM-IV only
Despite what the descriptions says, the Abnormal section reflects the old version of the DSM, which was incredibly frustrating. The rest of it is fairly helpful.
Wrong dsm info
Just started reviewing and noticed that there are still dsm4 names (somatoform vs somatic symptom disorder). Yes it's good that you add new dsm5 info but also be take out the wrong info and not just leave it there. Also, their developers page is a porn site. They don't even have a real one up. Don't click on it.

A great concept but info in outdated
I wish they would update the info and the organize it... current info is outdated and disorganized. Such a shame because it could have been a great study tool...
This is so close to the real thing!
I passed using this app, it’s extremely helpful and pretty similar to the actual test. I also love that it’s free because getting to this point is already so expensive.
Incorrect Info
Found incorrect information in behavioral section (e.g., indicated that punishment is most effective at the highest intensity). This is not true. Punishment is most effective when you start at lower intensities- administering a punishment procedure at the highest intensity results in bx side effects and possible habituation to the stimulus.

Love it!!
This app had been the perfect supplement to my study materials! I can read my books then test myself here and study on the go. Great app!
Great tool and info!! A++
So far, I feel this app covers the same info as the test prep I'm using. I wanted something for when I was on the go and had time to study. Overall, I think the info is phenomenal!! I also liked that you can email the flash card set to yourself to print. I was disappointed the DSM V info was not included on the pdfs since I prefer the old fashion way of having everything in front me rather than scrolling on my phone. I will update my review after I take the eppp. I hope the creator continues to update the app for other test takers.

It did the trick
I only studied 15-20 hours and I somehow passed. I spent a little time reading, but the majority of my study time was with this app. It has a few inaccuracies, but overall, it's a good tool. I'd buy it again.
Great tool
I use this all the time! It's great for those moments when I have a few free minutes but not enough to sit down and study. It's also great for the longer study sessions when I need to break things up. The app has great features and helps me hone in on areas that need more work.
I Passed
This app was recommended to my by a colleague who used it to pass her test too. Free recall is the best way to learn. The short term goal / Leitner mode was by far the better way to study.
Super helpful
Great app. Love the study mode. Was really helpful in helping DSM5 and neuropsych stick. Passed today and owe a lot to this app!
Multiple Choice options would be helpful
App seems helpful so far. I tried to contact the email address provided to ask about multiple choice options on the question cards. However, I received a "mail delivery subsystem" error response indicating the address is not active. I think this app would be more helpful if it had questions with multiple choice options which reflect the actual exam.

worth every penny
easy to use, fairly comprehensive and quite accurate. good for end of study timeline as the open ended format means you really need to know your stuff. very helpful and can print off PDFs of questions too.
Shrink
Best tool at any price! I passed with score over 600!! Had paid $$$ for TSM, academic review etc. But it wasn't til I used these flash cards that I increased my practice tests scores by 10%+
