I’m at a loss for words
Going back 2 years now, I bought the “premium” version of pocket prep cscs and now come to find out that the old version is no longer available. Where is the sense in upgrading to premium and then having that revoked just because of an update. Really wish that the old version could still be available to at the least the ones who paid for premium.

Highly recommend!
This app is incredible! The questions are definitely easier than those seen on the CSCS but I have no doubt that it will help you greatly. The best part about it is the explanation for every wrong and right answer with pg numbers to the text! This helped me greatly to pass the CSCS and it’s certainly worth the price. Good luck!

Version No Longer Supported
What’s the deal with this?? Will there be another version updated soon? I had this happen to me about six months ago while I was studying for my exam. It’s still not resolved and I see an updated version.
got a question
Are you guys still updating this app??
Failed the test
I used the pocket prep app and I felt like I knew the material well. I answered all 800 questions with 91% accuracy. The prep questions are very easy... so I was extremely confidant going in to the test. But come test day I failed both sections. I’m not saying it’s good or bad but it did not work for me. If you don’t know the avg vertical leap of a college women’s lacrosse player or the avg clean for a men’s soccer player or the avg t test time for a 231lb college football player - you won’t pass. The questions were that specific. You need to memorize almost all those charts in the book and the app just doesn’t test you very much on that.

Hi there! Sorry to hear the app didn't work for you. We wish you all the best moving forward!
Worth it, BUT..
I love this app. I definitely think it helped me learn the concepts needed for the exam. I like the timed aspect, that you can choose which sections you want to work on, the explanations, that it keeps track of your progress, etc.
However, after taking the exam, I feel that this app could provide a little bit better format of questions. For instance, the first portion of the exam (exercise science and nutrition) included MANY questions that required doing a lot of math. Other than some basic multiplication or division problems, this app does not include having to do extensive math, and there are very few questions that are situational. The questions on the exam are far more in-depth and scientific than the questions on the app and took a lot of time to solve.
Needless to say, (though I was not expecting the EXACT same questions or format) I was not prepared for the first portion of the exam. I ran out of time when reviewing the questions due to the amount of time spent on the situational/math problems. The second portion of the exam (the other 4 sections) was almost identical format to the questions on the app. I flew through the second portion and had plenty of time to spare.
I do love this app and I am very happy I purchased it, I just feel they could do a better job at formatting the questions more like the questions within the actual exam that may require more time to be taken.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re so thrilled you’re enjoying the app. We wish you the best!
Screen freezes on and off
Hi I use the IPhone 7 Plus to acesa the app and I have upgraded the app very often;but it keeps freezing for a couple of seconds I do t know why.
Great App to Start Studying!
Great to understand the concepts explained in the Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioing 4th Edition. The app provides a solid foundation to study for the CSCS. I really like that each question will give you the answer at the end, whether answered correctly or not, and the exact page number and paragraph on where to find the answer. It’ll also allow you to set reminders on when to study, & select what areas you want to test so you can improve on them. But understand that the CSCS exam is also based on evidence research. The app is great for “TEXTBOOK ANSWERS”!! But not for evidence base questions on the actual CSCS Exam. Concepts can still be applied, just do not depend solely on the app to successfully pass the exam. My suggestion would be to have the app and the textbook!

Life Saver
This app is truly amazing! Allows me to study on the go! It is a huge time saver because I do not have to go search through the book to find out why I was wrong, it is right there
Doesn’t work
I have had this app for a month and I’ve probably been able to open 6 question of the days and it constantly freezes. I wanted to purchase the premium version but given the app doesn’t work, I’ve decided to think twice before throwing a bunch of money away.
Good Questions on Computer, doesn’t work on phone
Bought the $35 version about a week ago. Worked great for a while, now won’t load a single question if I’m on my phone.
Best study tool (aside the book)
I used this app in addition to reading the book and I aced my exam! This is the best study aid out there!
So Dope!
I bought it 1-week before my exam date and used it everyday and was getting 88-89% scores on the practice tests. I JUST got an 88 and 87 on the 2-parts of the exam! I LOVED the app in every way. Sooooo helpful! Thanks guys!
Great App, But...
First time I have ever made a review for an app. I just passed my exam today on the first try! This app definitely helped me. The questions are very similar as the actual exam, but obviously not exact. I enjoyed being able to single out certain areas of knowledge and how I was able to customize my exam. This app definitely helps with preparing for the actual exam. The only reason why I had riding it astar was because of how buggy this app was. Took forever to load, would close the app entirely, and drained the crap out of my battery. But besides the technical part of the app, I highly recommend using this to help prepare for the exam. Good luck to anyone studying for it!

Excellent when it works
The functionality of the app is very useful as a study guide. All the the questions and answers are referenced in the text. You can specify the content of the practice exams. I would give this a higher rating but it does seem to suffer from stability issues, randomly crashes or freezes. I still enjoy this app and recommend it , but I wish it was less buggy.

Good but not Great
Used it on iPhone 6s. The app is good but crashes a lot, I would get the “error finding questions” a lot, and it was slow at times. My biggest gripe was that I paid for the $20 version and received 400 questions and a 2 month membership. If you take a 10 question quiz it reduces your total questions left by 10. This is regardless if the questions are new or ones you have seen previously. There were probably about 250 different questions out of the 400 that I had purchased. Out of the 400 questions I averaged a 91% and I just took my exam a few hours ago and passed with an 84%.
I say the questions were very appropriate to the exam but the hefty price tag and performance issues were big problems I had with the app. I have no problem paying $20 for study materials but would like the app to work flawlessly. It worked as well as a free app.

Great content - VERY SLOW
Extremely slow loading and responding to pushes. Otherwise amazing app.
Ultimate Version
This app does not do what you say it does. I can’t create exams from flagged questions because it doesn’t remember that questions were flagged. It doesn’t keep up with how many questions you’ve actually answered correctly and how many you have remaining out of 800. I always get some random number. Dial up internet had faster loading times. I’ve tried uninstalling and downloading again like you suggested and it didn’t help. I want my money back.

Great content but the app is very slow
The Good: I just recently took and passed my CSCS Exam and this app was one of my 2 study tools. The questions on the app are more similar to the questions that were on the test than any other questions I found on the internet. Being able to keep track of the subjects you were weakest in and being able to focus study time on that subject was a crucial element for me.
The Bad: The app started out ok, but become slower and slower and the app frequently crashed. The bright side is the the app on my MacBook worked very well so I studied that way, but that kind of defeats the name of app if I have to use my computer.

Great. Please stop crashing
Not sure the exact issue I have had the app for a while. Was great at first. Very responsive, now all it seems to do is stop me mid- exam or not switch from interface to interface ( bottom of screen).
Please fix this as quickly as you can. It’s very frustrating when studying.
