But somehow it doesnt allow you to download the cheatsheet anymore. Would've been nice to easily download it since i am a member. Its different to print by screenshots and downloaded files such a struggle . But other than that i like their videos. ### 4/5 — Elite been stopped, haven't pass the NCLEX yet *2025-03-29, version 2.3.3* I got the elite package around mid September since the subscription says it will last "until you pass" the NCLEX-RN exam. Also, that time I got my att which was good for a year. The offer was so good however, SimpleNursing stop my subscription without any reason last December. I couldn't study because I bought a house. Now I want to upgrade my LVN status and want to go back reviewing the NCLEX. I message SimpleNursing 3x on different occasions and each without response. I would like to have a full refund if your not returning my elite status as I desperately need it, else, I'll just use that hard earn money on another NCLEX app. —— Someone finally replied and got my elite back. Thanks ### 3/5 — wish could access videos/study guides offline *2024-11-16, version 2.2.2* needs more topics, and need an option to download the content or just set it to view offline. i commute a lot/its when i have the mist freetime and internet isnt always stable, so having an offline option would make an effective use of my time and money ### 3/5 — Fix view on IPads please! *2024-04-04, version 1.9.5* I love simple nursing! I have it downloaded on all my devices in case I’m on the go & have free time. My only complain is having it on my IPad I don’t have the same view as I would on my computer. For example, clicking on a subject the extra videos to be watched aren't below & also the quiz after watching is no where to be found just a blank white screen with a search bar below. ### 2/5 — Quizzes missing key information *2024-03-14, version 1.9.4* In order to answer the question correctly ALL data must be Viewable-Sadly a lot of information is Simply not accessible or missing completely. As a result comprehension cannot be achieved and incorrect information is absorbed. This will Negitively impact the nursing students test results due to improper training and missing/misleading information presented . Undesirable Tool for Nursing Students Studing to take NCLEX ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2024-02-25, version 1.9.3* I like the fact that they’ve worked harder to include informative rationales for their answer options in their quizzes. One thing that continues to bug me is that when you’re selecting quiz topics, some of them will be blocked off unless you select options above them. And, even more annoying, you’re unable to scroll down to see what those topics are about. ### 5/5 — Passing nursing school! *2023-12-30, version 1.9.0* If you’re a student nurse and want to pass nursing school, I recommend this app whole heartedly! Nurse Mike makes nursing fun, and his mnemonics have stuck with me throughout school and NCLEX. I 100% recommend this app to anyone who is currently going through school and wants someone to break it down for them to fully remember everything. ### 5/5 — Excellent resource for learning *2023-12-24, version 1.8.9* Helped with both my LVN and RN programs. Very clearly spells out what’s important for you to know and how to best treat your patients. ### 4/5 — Good notes *2023-12-17, version 1.8.9* I passed my nclex by using simple nursing notes but i feel there is more to add on in notes and cover more topics ### 5/5 — Best Study Aid *2023-11-27, version 1.8.9* Paying for the subcription was worth every penny! Watching the pharmacology videos has helped me with my pharm class. The study guides also are a great tool. Watching the videos have really helped me understand the topics in my classes. Do not pass up on this! ### 2/5 — Basic. No clients needs & no where says NGN style questions except website *2023-11-15, version 1.8.8* App description doesn’t even state NGN STYLED NCLEX except website. No option to know if you’re doing certain types of clients needs (analyze, apply, health maintenance and promotion etc. . Or Take action, analyzing cues etc ) it says 4000+ questions but how come they repeat so many time .. especially for mental health. There’s so many questions from so many different sources and that’s all y’all have ,……. I even click do not repeat and it still repeat. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-03-26, version 2.7.3* I signed up to try and get the feel of the app and I couldn’t view anything without a subscription which is $30+. They give a fake free trial that allows you access to nothing. You can only watch 10 seconds of the video, why would I waste my money on something that only cares about my money and not me learning. ### 1/5 — App got stuck *2025-11-14, version 2.5.8* Got the app and it got stuck on the beginning! Couldn’t use it! ### 1/5 — It’s always about money *2025-03-15, version 2.3.1* I would watch the videos on YouTube to freshen up on knowledge and now that they brought out an app I wanted to try it. Unfortunately it’s not a good app. You can’t sign up through the app. You have to do it online. As soon as you sign up, the “offers” start. Trying to get you to buy a membership plan. When you go back to the app and log in, it says it’s only available to those who purchase a plan. Not for the free trial, cause it’s only a trial. As if nursing school wasnt expensive enough now they want to charge for the app. If money is such a big deal to them, then get a second job. But if you’re not here to help students, don’t bother trying to come off as someone that has a students interest in mind only to try and get money off of them. ### 1/5 — Bug needs to be fixed. *2024-12-25, version 2.2.5* Current bug won’t allow you to select a topic before disappearing. Uninstalled & reinstalled & still an issue ### 1/5 — Access *2024-09-12, version 2.1.4* After the free trial I bought a subscription. The account works on my laptop. However I am unable to get access via the app. I called customer service and had to leave a message. I also spent several days texting the support number. The advice I was given was to delete app and reinstall which I did several times. Also I restarted my phone which still didn’t work. After I texted the support agent they told me it was fixed. Spoiler alert it wasn’t. I am still unable to use my app version on a $40 monthly plan. I never received any helpful info the agent told me several times it seemed to be fixed. I am in nursing school currently and don’t need any unwarranted stress. My voicemails continue to go unanswered ### 1/5 — Cannot get result after completing readiness assessment exam *2024-09-01, version 2.1.3* Have membership of app. It is a good app to study from, but when I completed Readiness assessment exam and wanted to submit on Iphone it just hangs and doesnot generate any result. Otherwise, it is good app. I would really appreciate if someone can fix it. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Beware of Greedy Business Practices - Disappointing Experience with Simple Nursing *2024-04-06, version 1.9.5* I am deeply disappointed by the greedy and unethical business practices of Simple Nursing. I purchased their one-month NCLEX review on December 7th and successfully passed my exam on the 12th. Little did I know that by making that initial purchase, I was unknowingly signing up for a recurring monthly subscription that continued until the end of March. When I reached out to request a refund for the 3 additional months I did not intend to purchase, I was met with cold refusal from the company. Their lack of empathy and understanding for an honest mistake on my part is truly disheartening. I ended up paying this greedy company for three months of a service I did not need or use. I urge potential customers to be cautious and vigilant when dealing with this company, as their automatic renewal policies can easily trap unsuspecting users into paying for services they do not want or need. ### 1/5 — Help *2024-03-31, version 1.9.5* Won’t let me register ### 1/5 — Do not buy or download *2023-12-14, version 1.8.9* They just want to take your money, even when you paused or cancel your subscription. They won't even return my money after I cancelled my subscription on same day I purchased it last month. They take your money right away, as soon as the purchased day. ### 1/5 — Can’t use the app with trial membership *2023-09-02, version 1.7.9* Wanted to try out simplenursing so I got the free trial only to fond out you cant access the app unless you have a membership plan. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2026-07-01, version 2.8.2* I absolutely love simple nursing, it helps me with concepts I am struggling with. ### 5/5 — Could not recommend more *2026-06-19, version 2.8.1* Simple nursing is absolutely amazing and is what I used throughout my nursing school journey. There’s informational videos with animations and jingles, study guides, and practice questions. Nurse Mike is the best, and broke difficult topics down in such simple 😏 ways. Thank you Nurse Mike! ### 5/5 — Honest Review *2026-06-11, version 2.8.0* I get overwhelmed with my class notes so I always open my simple nursing app to go over the concepts. They are clear, precise and helpful and I can’t wait to delve deeper into all of the cards and question for my NCLEX in August. ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2026-06-05, version 2.8.0* Amazing practice questions and videos. Perfect for studying for nclex ### 5/5 — Can’t create an account *2026-03-20, version 2.7.2* Tried to sign up but it only lets me enter my name and email, create a password, and my phone number. No other option to continue. ### 5/5 — Best resource of study through nursing school *2025-05-16, version 3.2.9* Through nursing school we all struggle with finding the right resources to use to better prepare us for each exam… Simple Nursing, has all of it! It really had help me simplify and focused on all the information that is must important every single time. I just want to thank them all, specially Nurse Mike FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY Myocardium! ### 5/5 — New Update *2025-04-16, version 2.3.4* I love the new update! I enjoy using Simple Nursing, but I hated using it in my phone. It was difficult to navigate the categories to take questions. ### 5/5 — The GOAT *2025-01-03, version 2.2.5* There is literally no one better than nurse Mike. He’s also the best for us with ADHD because he comes up with little phrases that are rememberable. ### 5/5 — The Best Resource for Me. Passed NCLEX first try *2024-10-15, version 2.1.6* Throughout my nursing program, I used the free YouTube Videos and they were always the most high yield videos to watch when it came to passing my exams! They really want you to be able to tell them how to intervene, or what side effects to be looking out for, etc. Mike knows what they want you to know for the exams. The way Mike lays out the content really helps it stick in my brain and helps me understand it better. It’s great for getting a big picture before I dive into the details of my textbook or other resources. After I graduated, I took a 3 month break from studying for my NCLEX to travel! Then I had 1 month left before my NCLEX date. I followed my gut based on what always worked for me best in nursing school, even though most people online recommend Archer, UWorld, etc, when I tried those free trials, I just did not find them as helpful for me personally. I purchased the Simple Nursing and got access to all the material. I used this resource exclusively to study for the NCLEX, and I passed on the first try. I felt so confident! If his free videos work for your brain, I definitely recommend the paid version depending on your needs. I would highly recommend it to anyone! Thank you so much, Simple Nursing!! Also, the videos are so hilarious and are so good at brightening my day! And the memory tricks work so well! Wish you all the best! ### 5/5 — Simple and amazing! *2024-04-29, version 1.9.6* I just passed my NCLEX RN, I finished my BSN way back 2008 and it's been tough for me to remember everything. Simple Nursing made it "simple" and so easy for me to understand and remember. I used Simple Nursing every single day, at home while taking care of my kids, yes a busy mom here. They even made all the videos fun to watch and easy to remember. It's like I went to Nursing school, and for less than a year of studying just watching and listening to sir Mike everyday, I passed! Super helpful, and worth it! Highly recommended! Oh and customer service was awesome! Thank you Sir Mike, Simple Nursing, really a life changing for me. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
