However, if I try to figure out where to subscribe, by clicking on the lock icon (as stated by the FAQ on the company website), the app just closes. ### 4/5 — Studying in the go! *2021-09-06, version 1.0.19* Nursing school Bible. Love studying on the go. However wish all the questions were unlocked since I’ve already purchased the book with code. ### 2/5 — Major flaw *2020-09-06, version 1.0.19* I love the content however the inability to rotate the screen is a major flaw. If I missed it developer please let me know how to rotate the screen to the horizontal position. I study on an iPad and the iPad has a stand that only stands horizontally. I have to hold the iPad while I’m studying. after a while it gets tiring and quiet annoying to be honest. Developer please fix it, thanks in advance ### 3/5 — Question *2020-08-26, version 1.0.19* Does the purchase last for a year or forever as long as you purchased it? ### 4/5 — Just get the book *2020-08-19, version 1.0.19* I downloaded this app because it said there were 5000 questions. I didn’t know that 4990 of them would be locked away and in order to view them I would have to pay. Nursing students are already struggling financially as it is don’t make it harder on them by forcing them to pay money to view more questions. For the price their asking you can just purchase the book with an access code and study that way. ### 3/5 — Does not save progress *2020-05-21, version 1.0.16* I bought this app to study on the go for RN NCLEX. The questions are identical to the book and online version but I don’t understand why I had to pay if I already paid for the book and access code. I’m also frustrated at the fact that it does not save your progress. If you are not on the app consistently it will time out and not save your progress. The app also sometimes freezes and you have to close out and re-sign in which is a hassle. ### 4/5 — Helpful but keeps logging me out *2020-05-19, version 1.0.16* Very helpful app. The rationales are great to help with reinforcing the information. Only complaint is that it keeps logging me out in the middle of lessons and doesn’t pick up where I left off. Very frustrating having to search for where I was. ### 3/5 — Search function *2020-02-24, version 1.0.16* The search function would be a lot more helpful if one could search the topic matter in question and then test/study WITHOUT the answers being displayed. ### 3/5 — After update not working *2020-02-12, version 1.0.13* This app was working excellent but after the app update I tried to log in but it doesn’t let me. I forgot my password try to get a new one and when I put the code and new password it says “loading” and doesn’t do anything. I paid I lot of money for this app.... please help. ### 1/5 — Bought the book and have the access code but can’t access material *2019-12-31, version 1.0.12* I bought the actual book for my nursing classes but when I tried accessing the app, it wouldn’t recognize my account and I can’t gain access to the material. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Didnt work *2022-05-06, version 1.4.0* Paid for a one month subscription to try it out, but didnt even unlock anything for me. Tried to contact the app creator about it but didn’t receive a reply; had to get a refund through apple ### 1/5 — Paid for questions, never worked *2021-06-07, version 1.0.19* I paid the $30+ for all the questions but it never unlocked them. I deleted and redown loaded the app to try and fix the problem not never did. Really wish I got my money back... ### 1/5 — Progress *2021-03-29, version 1.0.19* The app does not work with your progress . When you exit the app whatever you studying does not save ### 1/5 — bought and regretted one minute later *2020-12-14, version 1.0.19* You can't customize the quiz on the topics you want to be quizzed on and also, I tried to get out of the quiz and it won't let me. What did I just spend $30 for? Not happy ### 1/5 — APP NOT WORTH IT *2020-06-20, version 1.0.16* The app sounds like a great idea, however you can not log in using your elsvier log in credentials. I've been using elsvier for two years for nursing school and I bought the book (saunders nclex-rn) and used the code online, yet I can't access it on the app. Very disappointing as I have heard good things about this nclex-rn review. What's the point of the app if I can't use it when I'm away from my computer. Look into other nclex review apps, they're probably better than this one. ### 1/5 — Log in Issues *2020-05-28, version 1.0.16* If I purchased a physical copy of the book how do I gain acess to the app? Also it keep saying that it sent a code to my email but I’m not recieving it. ### 1/5 — Not worth it if it won’t stay logged in *2020-02-25, version 1.0.16* The questions and the format are great, and it both teaches and tests... but it won’t stay logged in. ### 1/5 — Purchased but can’t access. Support told me to get lost. *2020-02-17, version 1.0.14* Title says it all. Paid for full access in the app, was charged, but full access not granted. App’s support told me there was nothing they could do. Sweet. Super cool app. ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-02-10, version 1.0.13* Currently trying to study before an exam and the app is frozen and won’t refresh when closed and reopened. I do not have a notification that an update is needed. Waste of money. Practice questions are recycled. ### 1/5 — STATs *2020-01-24, version 1.0.12* I wish there were rolling stats to tell you how you’re doing not just stats after each test taken ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great but need to pay *2022-04-21, version 1.4.0* I thought it was free. ### 5/5 — This is your nursing school bible!! *2021-04-21, version 1.0.19* If you are in nursing school use this app all the way through! It has helped me reach and exceed the benchmark Ati tests. I always have the app to study conveniently on my phone wherever I am! ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-03-12, version 1.0.19* I really have enjoyed using the Saunders app. The price is low for as many practices questions that you get. The app never glitches or crashes. I try to do 40 study questions a day and this app makes it convenient and easy to keep up with that where ever I am. ### 5/5 — Wonderful App! *2020-09-27, version 1.0.19* Best companion for NCLEX RN prep. ### 5/5 — Informative *2020-08-22, version 1.0.19* Great app. Thank you ### 5/5 — Five stars *2020-08-15, version 1.0.19* Excellent!!! All I needed to successfully pass the NCLEX-RN exam. ### 5/5 — Question *2020-04-20, version 1.0.16* I have the Elsevier book and access code on the web . Is this apart of it do I still have to pay to unlock ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-02-21, version 1.0.16* I love this app! The only thing that is driving me a little crazy is that it keeps logging me out which means I keep loosing all my progress and results from tests I have completed! Its the little things !!! But overall has helped me study on the go! ### 5/5 — Frustrated *2020-02-10, version 1.0.13* It’s a great app. But I’m so frustrated because it freezes and lost my answered questions and not even done of the test. I didn’t even know if I answered the question correctly! I paid for it, please fix it! Thank you ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2020-01-11, version 1.0.12* Love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
