### 1/5 — AI slop?

*2026-04-04, version 2.3.5*

It seems that someone forced chat gpt to read some critical care books and produce questions. Multiple typos, convoluted wording, and incorrect explanations/definitions. Fine for a quick assessment with the free trial. But don’t rely on this. Questions are often repeated and the test bank seems very small.

### 3/5 — Simple but helpful app

*2026-02-25, version 2.3.5*

Overall it’s a nice app, but I wish there was a better way to focus on certain pieces of the exam. Let’s say you wanted to work on cardiac questions, you could select cardiac modules and go from there. It’s all just one BIG or little set of questions and you hope to get some cardiac questions mixed in.

### 1/5 — Not the app to get

*2025-10-14, version 2.3.2*

I hoped this app would have a lot of questions to really hone in the CCRN knowledge. What I got instead was an app that repeated questions and overly explained basics concepts. Why should a CCRN question say “rhabdomyolysis also known as “rhabdo” can cause high potassium or hyperkalemia”? If someone is taking this exam they are well aware of this information. Another question had Cushing’s disease and cortisol in the question but the answers all pertained to Cushing’s Triad. What’s even worse is you can’t even report a question for review. I wish I could get my money back.

### 1/5 — No customer service.

*2023-11-28, version 2.3.0*

Impossible to get app support.  Unable to report a typo/mistake in the rationale. Can not send a request through Mastrapi.com. 

I got a lifelong access version of this app and quality/customer service is nonexistent. 
DO NOT GET THIS APP.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2023-10-24, version 2.3.0*

Questions are inaccurate and some completely false. Do not waste your money! Trying to get a refund, thankfully only selected the monthly option.

### 1/5 — Beware

*2023-07-26, version 2.3.0*

This app is unreliable. Asked a question about Cushing’s with a prompt that talked about high cortisol….
The answer was about Cushing’s triad. Idk who makes this app but they should be fired. I want a refund

### 1/5 — Worthless.

*2023-07-17, version 2.3.0*

Paid $100 for the “lifetime access” and a whopping FOUR (4) questions are loaded. After restarting the app, trying to restart quizzes, and restarting my phone - the app remains frozen at 4 questions. Don’t waste your money. The app is worthless.

### 2/5 — Questionable Quality

*2023-02-12, version 2.3.0*

App is easy to use, but the content is of questionable quality. Many questions are poorly worded, or incomplete. Others are flat out false, so I recommend you spend your money on a higher quality product than to purchase this app. I’ve reported many questions, but they never respond. They just want your money.

### 1/5 — I think I got a dud of a subscription

*2023-01-21, version 2.3.0*

I’m paying money for a subscription to an app that doesn’t work. I get the same three questions every time I open the app, and when I try to do anything else it freezes the app. It’s garbage, I’m cancelling and hope I can request a refund for what I’ve paid.

### 3/5 — Easy to use but hard to trust

*2022-08-29, version 2.0.0*

App is simple and intuitive to use. It’s responsive and easy to read and answer questions. But the question bank seems small. I’ve gotten the same question twice in a 20 question quiz. Twice now I’ve had the ‘daily question’ be wrong because the task was to interpret an ABG and to differentiate between partially compensated and uncompensated but the question only contained a pH and a CO2. The rationale told me to look at the HCO3 that of course wasn’t listed in the question. Am I meant to calculate the HCO3 from the other two numbers myself? If so, put that in the rationale.
