It’s written by someone who does not have a full grasp of English, syntax or grammar. Not useful. ### 1/5 — Can't understand the explanations *2024-06-05, version 2.3.1* Bad grammar, poor sentence structure (including fragments) make this very unsettling and confusing to use... Not reassuring. This evaporated my confidence in the app and made me question the qualifications of those behind it within 5 minutes of my first practice quiz. I'll look elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Typos are Too Much *2022-09-05, version 2.1.0* I wanted to like this app and was excited to give it a try but the typos in every other question are just too overwhelming. Literally, every other question. I’ll just go back to my physical study book :( ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-03-30, version 1.0.1* The app will not open. I have tried closing and opening, deleting and reinstalling several times. When I attempted to click the link to the App Support, that doesn’t work either. It’s very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Don’t get *2022-03-19, version 1.0.1* App said I had a 98 percent pass rate. I failed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-03-11, version 1.0.1* App doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Says to subscribe to free trial but then still blocks content *2021-12-19, version 1.0.0* I subscribed to the free 1 week trial where you pay $24.99 a month after that, however, I still cannot access any premium content during my trial, it’s only 10 questions. ### 2/5 — Questions Are Too Redundant *2025-03-11, version 2.3.2* Needs more varied questions and more categories of questions. ### 2/5 — Poor grammar and weird wording throughout *2023-06-17, version 2.3.0* I got 10 questions in and was so alarmed by the grammatical errors I saw in 50% of the questions that I immediately cancelled my purchase. It’s like these questions were written by someone whose second language is English. Really makes me doubt this is a solid study source. Needs some serious editing. ### 5/5 — Worth the purchase *2022-10-03, version 2.3.0* This app is incredibly helpful. The explanations when answering questions is great and the data they provide to see your growth is insightful. I am very happy having purchased full access to this app and it’s easy to use. I am curious to see if an implementation of creating sections (such as career counseling, research, group therapy, etc.) to review and display the progress in each section could work hold any benefit. I feel that would give me more insight of what areas I need to work on more. I’m thinking similar to how Duolingo shows progress in their material. This is just an idea but not a must have for me. ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — recommend *2022-06-18, version 1.1.2* preparation for the NCE test was not difficult because I solved practice questions on the go. The app provides proper preparation for the test, especially the explanations 👍a great tool (used the monthly plan) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
