### 3/5 — A starting point

*2021-04-24, version 2.1.17*

Wish I could see my exam statuses and schedule them from the app. It’s not all about the hours. Seeing the percentages is helpful, but maybe showing the saved/not approved hours in those graphs as well. A good start I just want it to show more information

### 4/5 — Edit feature request

*2021-03-10, version 2.1.17*

I love it ! I would like to be able to edit the hours I save when I make mistakes though

### 4/5 — Great but needs improvements

*2020-10-31, version 2.1.16*

It gets the job done. However, I am not sure how this looks in other phones but I have an iPhone XSMax and it does not fill up the screen. The app should be updated to adjust to fit to the phone screens. Also I know ncarb sends emails about approved hours it would be great to get a notification on the app also about hours approved.

### 4/5 — NCARB Attention needed!

*2019-07-30, version 2.0.34*

This may be a review for both NCARB and the app but if you work overtime, it doesn’t allow you to edit the report or submit the report if the total hours are greater than the “initial average hour input” THAT IS TERRIBLE!

### 4/5 — Great App, but needs iPhone X/ XS support!

*2018-12-29, version 2.0.34*

Great app, functions well, decent user interface.
But seriously developer needs to add proper support for larger screens of the iPhone X / XS / XR... It’s been years! You can do this!

### 4/5 — iPhone X compatibility please

*2017-12-01, version 2.0.34*

It’s a good app that allows you to accurately track your hours. I just wish it was optimized for iPhone X.

### 3/5 — Add exam to the app

*2017-08-31, version 2.0.34*

Can it have a part that goes over your exams

### 4/5 — Jurisdiction recognition please!

*2016-06-11, version 1.4.3*

Although the app is very handy and has a simple interface, it should recognize the amount of hours you need based on the state jurisdiction you would like to get licensed in. There are still states that require 5,600 hours (*cough cough*...Massachusetts). The website recognizes it yet this app does not. That would be a great update!

### 5/5 — IDP Reporting

*2016-05-31, version 1.4.3*

Great app to use when reporting hours. Quick and easy if you are doing it daily, would recommend the web browser if reporting more than one weeks worth of experience.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2016-04-16, version 1.4.3*

This has made it very easy for me to log my hours while I'm on the go! The interface is very friendly and has detailed information for what each category requires.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2016-03-11, version 1.4.3*

Really helps me stay on top of hours and it is great to be able to reference category descriptions.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Login doesn’t work

*2019-11-01, version 2.0.34*

The info I use to login online doesn’t work on this app. It must be out of date.

### 1/5 — Works but out of date

*2019-08-28, version 2.0.34*

The app works for what it’s supposed to do but it’s 2 years out of date and hasn’t been updated to work properly on the new generations of iPhones. The app also signs out automatically instead of remaining logged in. These two issues would be fairly easy to fix and I hope to see them in an update soon. For an app that’s supposed to be used by people in the design field, it would be nice to see an app that reflects that both graphically and through a better UI

### 1/5 — Cannot add report with new employer

*2019-05-22, version 2.0.34*

This app does not allow creating reports under a new employer. I logged in online to do this as the app suggested, but that new report didn't sync to the app (now several weeks later.) NCARB customer service was unhelpful in answering my questions.

### 1/5 — Off putting

*2016-07-01, version 2.0.16*

App is clunky. Hard to access common information. Still can't submit any information. Doesn't access test results in a timely fashion. Color scheme is terrible. Website is still better

### 1/5 — Reporting Hours Has Never Been So Impossible

*2014-01-19, version 0.2.2*

Like literally impossible. There is no way to create a report. All I am able to do is view my previous reports and track my IDP progress, which this app does a great job of communicating, but as of right now this app is not delivering on what it promises.

### 2/5 — Needs Update

*2025-01-24*

The last update for this app was over 4 years ago. After launching it on my iPhone it is out of date mechanically wise and not information wise. I believe it can be improved to ease the way it’s used. Very blocky and a smaller screen than my larger iPhone allows.

### 2/5 — Missing subtraction

*2022-08-24, version 2.1.17*

You can’t delete added hours.

### 2/5 — Would be helpful if…

*2021-08-21, version 2.1.17*

The app would let you know why a report could not be submitted instead of relying on the user to figure it out.
The app would allow you to submit hours from beyond the 8month immediate window.

### 2/5 — Sometimes brevity can be misleading.

*2021-03-14, version 2.1.17*

The error messages are not detailed enough for you to figure out what you need to do to not get said error. It can be frustrating.

### 3/5 — Helpful…sometimes

*2023-09-25*

Overall this is a very helpful app! As an architecture student interning at a local firm, I find it easy enough to enter my reports.

My only complaints as of September 2023 are as follows:
-no iPad optimization. I’m currently typing this on an ipad and it’s very annoying to now have the app use the whole screen.
-does not remember employers or their information
-does not remember AXP supervisor or their information. 

Again, a very helpful app, just with a few UI/UX issues. (which is somewhat comical in its irony as we are designers)

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Easy to record AXP hours

*2022-08-16, version 2.1.17*

It’s an excellent tool that NCARB has created for people that want to record AXP hours! Hope they can keep innovating the way of examínate each candidate

### 5/5 — Simple

*2019-03-06, version 2.0.34*

Very simple and to the point.

### 5/5 — Emerging Professional “must have”

*2018-10-02, version 2.0.34*

A solid app for recording AXP hours. You will appreciate the Bar diagrams and the ease of the app. Overall a very nice interface. Built for convenience, and it works. Great for recording and tracking your progress. Good luck my fellow Archis!

### 5/5 — So easy

*2017-07-26, version 2.0.34*

This app is so convenient. Love it!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2017-03-16, version 2.0.34*

I am currently going through the licensing process and this app has made it a lot easier to submit my hours. It also helps to remind me to submit my hours on a more regular schedule.

### 5/5 — Moving Forward!

*2017-01-18, version 2.0.34*

I applaud NCARB on this effort to adapt to the new format future architects are more acquainted with.

### 5/5 — Convenient unitasker

*2016-11-07, version 2.0.34*

Ability to easily log hours as you go makes this a useful app... seems to be updated regularly. No issues so far. 

Improvements? Could be simpler to access the task reference and edit hours. Could also display other aspects of NCARB record (test scores, e.g.).

### 5/5 — Easy

*2016-10-06, version 2.0.34*

The app is the easiest way to stay on top of tracking AXP hours.

### 5/5 — Great!! Get it!

*2016-09-22, version 2.0.34*

I you are an architectural intern or on your way to becoming licensed, I would get this app! It works nicely and is easy to log hours right after work so I don't have to do it later on. Nice layout and easy to manage. It describes each experience section and shows your progress in each. It has made the process of logging experience hours so much easier!

### 5/5 — Very easy to use

*2016-05-31, version 1.4.3*

The description for each section is very helpful!
