### 4/5 — App Changes

*2026-07-12, version 8.6.5954*

I have had this exam prep app for a while and I have noticed quite a few changes to the question bank: 
1.) Ability to review Q&A after practice questions w/o starting the category over.
2.) Limited Visual Learning Access 
3.) Now days Exam Prep Apps want to charge test takers a monthly subscription fee—Who Can Afford That

### 4/5 — Question

*2024-10-25, version 8.6.5954*

Is this app still current to practice for FNP exam or is it outdated?

### 3/5 — Rationale

*2023-04-20, version 8.6.5954*

I have another app that is very detailed with their rationales. This app is not. That’s why I gave it less stars

### 3/5 — Not newest version

*2022-04-11, version 8.6.5954*

I would suggest that this app be taken out of the App Store as there is a newer version. I suggest if anyone is considering this app to search for the newer app as the information in this app is not current with the in rotation exams.

### 5/5 — Where is the ability to highlight. I’m no longer able to?

*2020-06-16, version 8.6.5954*

Highlighting feature gone?

### 5/5 — Great resource

*2020-06-10, version 8.6.5954*

I love having this in my pocket while studying for my boards. It’s quick and easy and allows me to see my strengths and weaknesses.

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing and/or questions or explanation aren’t shown

*2020-06-05, version 8.6.5954*

The app keeps crashing after purchasing it and either the question doesn’t show or the explanation doesn’t show, which is beyond frustrating. How can I study when I’m having this problem 😞

### 5/5 — Excellent review

*2020-05-26, version 8.6.5954*

This book and app were the only study resources I used to successfully pass. #AGNP 2020

### 3/5 — Organization style

*2020-04-25, version 8.6.5954*

The practice questions are great and organized well. I really enjoy the tag system to increase material retention. The review subjects don’t feel complete, missing systematic approach. For instance, nervous system review doesn’t discuss any of the seizures disorder (grand-mal, partial, tonic or clonic). The only seizure disorder I was able to local was absent in pediatrics.

### 5/5 — Great investment

*2020-03-19, version 8.6.5954*

I did a live Hollier review, she’s great but Liek gets right to it! Wish I had it earlier!

### 5/5 — Great Review

*2020-01-28, version 8.6.5954*

Great Review! It was very thorough and very easy to follow and understand. Some of the material was exactly how it was presented on the FNP exam....I passed!

### 5/5 — Activation code

*2020-01-19, version 8.6.5954*

I purchase the book and when I go to access questions with activation code I am never asked the code.

### 5/5 — 👍

*2019-12-13, version 8.6.5954*

This study review was excellent and got me through the exam!! I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — All in one

*2019-12-02, version 8.6.5954*

This was everything I needed to be successful for the AANP exam

### 5/5 — Mobile-learning at its best

*2019-12-01, version 8.6.5954*

I am on the go. With this app, you can study anywhere.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — outdated app, skip to 4th edition

*2024-04-16, version 8.6.5954*

App continues to use old questions, including based on pregnancy medication categories (A,B,C,X) that was abandoned in 2015.  Not sure why the app is still available for purchase, but save your $69.99 and skip to the current edition.  Good luck on your exam!

### 1/5 — ONE practice question in the free version

*2020-06-16, version 8.6.5954*

You get one practice question. And after that you must pay $30 a month for access. No thank you! My boards are still at least 8 months away and I refuse to pay $30 a month when I can buy the book on amazon for way cheaper than that!

### 1/5 — App not working

*2020-02-20, version 8.6.5954*

I just received the book and I have created an online account with my access code but for some reason it does not populate to the app and keeps telling me log in does not exist. The main purpose of getting the book was for the app. This is ridiculous and a waste of money !!!

### 1/5 — App shuts down

*2019-04-17, version 6.8.4625*

I downloaded this app a couple of weeks ago and would love to purchase the full content, but the app keeps automatically shutting down and I keep having to log in over and over to get it to start working. Every time. I'm not going to buy it until I have an app actually loads when I open it.

### 1/5 — Where are all the study questions???

*2019-02-17, version 6.8.4625*

Thought there would be many more questions.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2019-01-05, version 6.8.4625*

I have downloaded and logged in to this App multiple times. The content fails to load and the App automatically shuts down. I purchased the book and was excited to use the App on the go and really disappointed.

### 1/5 — Not going to pay twice

*2018-03-29, version 5.7.2*

So i bought the previous version and now they want you to pay AGAIN $50!

### 2/5 — Maria Leik owes me some $$$

*2026-02-20, version 8.6.5954*

This app should be free for those of us who purchased Maria’s book that is rife with pharmacology and rationale errors. You owe me some $$$, Maria!

### 2/5 — Rip off

*2020-04-25, version 8.6.5954*

I thought this was the book. Such limited info ! Question are good though.

### 2/5 — Too many crashes 😠

*2019-01-04, version 6.8.4625*

The app keeps crashing and kicks me out!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Best Exam Prep App

*2026-07-06, version 8.6.5954*

I live in Ohio, a fellow Grad referred me to this app. I passed my exam first try!

### 5/5 — Passed My AANP FNP Exam Thanks to This App!

*2025-06-29, version 8.6.5954*

FNP Cert was one of the most valuable tools I used while preparing for my AANP FNP certification exam and I passed! The app’s comprehensive question bank, detailed rationales, and user-friendly interface made studying efficient and effective. I especially appreciated the ability to study on the go, track my progress, and focus on my weaker areas.

The practice questions closely resembled what I saw on the actual exam, and the explanations helped reinforce my understanding. I highly recommend this app to anyone preparing for the AANP or ANCC FNP exam. Oh I passed on 6/28/25 🙌🏾👩🏾‍⚕️

### 5/5 — Leik review

*2024-05-22, version 8.6.5954*

Awesome review. I’m still using it

### 5/5 — Excellent tool

*2022-11-07, version 8.6.5954*

This tool helped me pass my exam for FNP and I highly recommend it to my students along with the companion book.  This comes free with it! Very intuitive to use!

### 5/5 — Passed the first time!!!

*2021-10-29, version 8.6.5954*

Great tool for reviewing and practicing for your NP exam!  I love the layout and review questions.  Great rationale’s.  Used this with Hollier’s review (my university used Hollier’s review as part of the curriculum) and felt more than prepared!  You won’t regret this purchase!

### 5/5 — You will pass with this app!

*2021-10-07, version 8.6.5954*

I just passed the AANP today and Leik’s practice questions were manageable and also educational at the same time. I read through all of the info in each section twice. Some of the practice questions were word for word on the exam. I did Fitzgerald’s review and it was too in-depth and had too many pneumonics. I tried the FNP Mastery app and the questions were WAY to specific and just caused me to lose confidence. Go through all of Leik’s practice questions and read each section in either her book or the app (they both have the same information) and you will pass.

### 5/5 — Best Best Best  source to study for FNP

*2020-10-20, version 8.6.5954*

I used this app at least 5 times and the did the book twice , read every section especially hints and pearls and tracked my progress according to my weaknesses.  I love this app.  Easy to read rationales  that make you think but not make you feel dumb or doubt the material. Just makes since !!! 
I loved you can set your daily goal questions according to when you are testing. I love that I can read on a particular category and then test my knowledges  in questions.  I agree with others that have said this..   Leik is the FNP study Bible. Thanks Dr  Leik!!

### 5/5 — Review

*2020-10-16, version 8.6.5954*

This review course has helped me a lot and helped me to pass the exam

### 5/5 — I love this review

*2020-09-23, version 8.6.5954*

Very organized review

### 5/5 — Upcoming Boards!

*2020-08-28, version 8.6.5954*

This is day two using this app and I’m in love! I’m logging in to this app more than social media! It’s so easy to use and really tests my knowledge on topics I’ve covered and has great rationales to learn where I can improve or review some more.
