Too easy
The app has a good layout, although it has some buggy scrolling issues. At one point it was marking the wrong answers because I had to scroll the outer area as opposed to the inner area to select.. This is kind of weird.
I like the way that it test you, and the different features, but the exam is much more difficult than this. The non-correct answers are too obviously wrong in this review. The exam is much more subtle and provides multiple answers that could be correct, but it's just how you read them that makes one more correct.
I passed the exam by using this app, but it was much closer than what this app made me feel.

Packed with features that are actually useful. (fixed my interface problem, see btm of review)
I’ve purchased two other exam prep apps, online practice exams, video training (search Reddit for discounts from giga), as well as the included prep material that comes with the exam voucher. They all were fine and met my expectations.
In a way, I’m glad I bought this last. Being able to compare it to other prep material makes it clear just how significant the difference is. I haven’t taken the exam yet, but I am *very* glad I got this app before blowing $600 on the exam fee.
This app has a lot of features and implements them in a highly productive way. I think it’s important to note that you can use this as targeted exam prep AND use it to understand the concepts (and the relationship between the concepts). Each question clearly explains why the answer is correct as well as why the others are wrong.
There is a large pool of questions, categorized in the correct % as the actual exam. When you select your answer and swipe right, you’re saying you have high confidence. Left is not so much confidence. This becomes important for several things - ultimately the 4th level (there are countless questions in levels 1-3) requires a confidence score of 75. It has an incredible system, for calculating confidence score (+2 for correct and confident, -5 for incorrect and confident and more).
The app really makes it clear which topics you need to focus on. It has ‘smart’ mini exams that focus on your weak areas so you’re not wasting time doing a 40 question practice exam for the 10 questions you need.
Initially, I had a problem with the interface. I was so impressed with the trial I actually bought the app thinking that would fix the problem, I have to imagine most people would just try another app. Dev responded within 24 hours to explain my mistake - sorry I was a jerk about it.
The interface is initially confusing. You need to swipe your answers left or right. It’s odd because there’s a giant disabled ‘next’ button on the bottom of the screen you’d expect to be enabled and use after selecting an answer. It might be clearly documented somewhere, but I don’t really understand why there’s a next button that you can’t select. When you drag your response left or right, that submits the answer.
The only other negative is just the subscription model. When I search for apps, I initially go to the in app purchase options, and only look at ones with an option for a one-time purchase. I have no problem paying twice the price to not have a subscription. That said, the subscription options and prices for this app are great.
