### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2017-07-12, version 4.2.4*

It is so perfect to get instant answers with explanations to help the studying.

### 5/5 — Great study app

*2017-06-26, version 4.2.4*

Trying to study with 2 children is challenging... this app allows me to do questions even when all I can find is 5 minutes to do so

### 5/5 — Great resource

*2017-06-07, version 4.2.4*

I find this app v helpful. It's really handy to use during my train commute or when I am lying down and don't feel like opening my book, I use it. I totally recommend this app! Questions are hard but doable. Good explanations.

### 5/5 — Great Study App

*2017-05-06, version 4.2.4*

I've found this to be the best question bank I have come across for the PANCE.  It has nice incorporated study tools as well.  I can't yet speak to how it relates to the PANCE as I have not taken it yet.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-03-21, version 4.2.1*

Great app! Really like the explanations and the ability to eliminate options for answers

### 5/5 — Greatly improved...

*2017-03-09, version 3.24.2*

I've purchased this app to help prepare for the PANRE, and the question bank has been significant improved compared to previous versions.

Furthermore, app support has been very responsive to feedback on the few questions that were self contradictory.

Kudos to the developer/support staff.  

Now after going through the 1000+ questions, I'm going to go register the for PANRE.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2017-03-05, version 3.24.2*

I love the ease of going through questions whenever I have a free moment.

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2017-02-17, version 3.23*

The content is great and the new interface is as well. Functionality is simple and intuitive. Well worth the money. 

My only gripe is that you can't "Quick Start" all questions, only within a category (i.e. Organ system, labs, etc.).

### 5/5 — Great update

*2017-02-13, version 3.23*

Great work!

### 4/5 — Question bank

*2017-02-11, version 3.23*

I feel like these are very similar questions to the actual PANCE/PANRE.

### 5/5 — Wonderful for PANCE and PANRE

*2017-02-08, version 3.23*

It works so well for both!

### 5/5 — Great tool for studying!

*2017-01-21, version 1.6*

I bought this app when I was in phase 2 so I could study whenever I had a spare couple of minutes, and I'm still glad I did. There are a ton of questions and they do update them. You can take a quiz by specialty if you're weak in one area, or you can shuffle the whole deck. 
Quizzes can be set for 5-25 questions. As soon as you answer one you get feedback on why the right choice was right and the others wrong. 
I passed the PANCE, but I still use this app occasionally just to test myself and brush up. I will definitely use it when it comes time to take the PANRE.
I highly recommend this for any PA Student or practicing PA.

### 4/5 — I like it!

*2017-01-20, version 1.6*

I appreciate the variety of the questions. I like being able to modify the test format. The discussion of correct vs. incorrect is reasonable and logical. In general it is a use tool for studying. I would prefer a more straightforward way to move from one question to the next but once I figured it out it is easy enough.

### 4/5 — Great review question on the go!

*2017-01-17, version 1.6*

My only complaint is, if I skip over a question, I cant swipe backwards to review it. Could be user error, but would be nice to easily go back to questions I either accidentally swiped passed or already answered so I can review the material again.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Where my subscription

*2019-04-20, version 6.8.4625*

Purchased this yesterday and was charged. My subscription will run out May 19th. (Still says this on the app and also says I’m on the monthly subscription).  Says cancel anytime, so I canceled so I wouldn’t forget to cancel it (like I did last time). The app worked for several hours, but now it’s like I never purchased at all. No questions beyond the free ones and no explanations. I would like either my money back or access to the questions I paid for. I really do like this app and I will change my star review once this is rectified.

### 1/5 — Upgraded but it won’t unlock anything

*2018-10-11, version 5.24.0*

Paid to upgrade after my free trial but I’m still locked out despite paying the monthly fee. Very frustrated and wish I could spend more time studying instead of trying to figure this out

### 1/5 — No integrity

*2017-01-29, version 1.6*

I bought the app in 2010 and when I upgraded to an iPhone it didn't work. Now they are saying I need to purchase it again for another $50. Seems dishonest and I am very disappointed

### 1/5 — Entire history LOST!

*2012-09-25*

I'm VERY frustrated and disappointed in this app right now. I just upgraded my iPhone to iOS 6.0. When I re-opened my PAID version of Lange Q&A, the app required me to re-activate my purchase. Doing so caused me to lose the ENTIRE history of questions I had already viewed (over 700) and questions I had specifically flagged (over 100). Many, many hours of history...LOST. This app needs updated to work correctly with iOS 6.0 and not lose a user's history. Refund anyone? I'll be glad to edit my review if you offer a fix for this.

### 2/5 — Better before the update

*2017-02-13, version 3.23*

This app was better before the "update". Curiously the background is nearly identical to two other apps.  I haven't figured out how to get immediate feedback on quiz responses(you used to be able to).

### 3/5 — New look, not as good

*2017-03-22, version 3.23*

Let me say first that the new interface looks great. However, it freezes almost every time I open the app. Please work on this, as it is currently not worth the money I paid. The old interface was not as visually appealing, but at least it always worked.

### 3/5 — Good questions, several mistakes

*2016-11-03, version 1.5*

For the most part, this is a pretty good question bank. But I have found several questions that have the wrong answer choice selected. The "correct answer" is in complete contradiction with the explanation below the answers. I think it would be helpful for the questions to be reviewed, and make sure that the correct answer is tagged as the "right answer".

### 3/5 — Good review material

*2014-10-07, version 1.0*

I really wish this app had iCloud sync ability so that if I am on the phone in the morn, then iPad at night I could sync my quiz logs and statistical data. Other than that it's built pretty well. Keyword search would be nice also to hone in on specific items. 
Thanks RB

### 3/5 — A good start

*2013-05-03, version 1.0*

The questions and format are wonderful. Quizzes are timed, and then you receive a percentage and intelligent question-by-question feedback afterward. The downside is that you only get about 40 questions before you are required to buy the 50$ question bank. Perhaps it is worth it, but I'm not sure Im ready to pay that much.

### 4/5 — Many errors

*2017-03-16, version 3.24.2*

I vacillated between 3 and 4 stars due to the plethora of questions with rudimentary spelling errors or outdated information. The app also freezes from time to time. Four stars for great customer service, a beautiful UI, and the ability to do some of PANRE prep on my phone.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Stressed? Need to focus?

*2019-12-10, version 6.8.4625*

This has been my best on the go study app. I’m stressed! But I’m focusing!

### 5/5 — Good daily practice

*2019-05-08, version 6.8.4625*

The app works very well. I use it on most days. The PANCE is more than a year away for me. I mostly the app it to do pharmacology questions, since that’s my weakest area. I’m pretty sure that they recently changed it to be a monthly fee. I got it back when it was a one time fee. They honored such memberships, so I’m quite happy about that. My only complaint is that the daily goal has to be within the range of 20-100. It would create a greater sense of accomplishment for app users to actually achieve their daily goal. I never do 20 questions in one day. This is simply a small bit of supplemental learning that I use. I’m not sure why the daily goal forces users to choose at least 20 daily questions. Developers, great work. Also, please decrease the daily goal lower range value to 1. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Improve my grades and time

*2018-10-16, version 5.24.0*

I use these practice question during my didactic year to get a good sense of second order questions that will be asked of me in the future. It has greatly improved my scores and timing during exams!

### 5/5 — Excellent Review On The Go!!!

*2017-12-29, version 5.1.0*

Love the ability to access this app and systems when a block of time is available sporadically I can review!!!

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-12-24, version 5.1.0*

I did the research for a while, and this review app is very good. I just hope they continue to add more questions and refinements.

My favorite feature is how questions are explained well.

### 5/5 — Fantastic resource

*2017-11-30, version 4.10.0*

Definitely a must have tool for didactic year

### 5/5 — Great study tool!

*2017-10-11, version 4.10.0*

Love this app!

### 5/5 — Invaluable tool

*2017-09-29, version 4.10.0*

Wonderful tool for studying- specially when I'm short on time. Has been immensely helpful in preparing for my upcoming PANRE. Makes those few minutes here and there useful!

### 5/5 — EOR Studying Made Easy

*2017-08-25, version 4.2.4*

Using this app to study for EOR testing, and so far I love it. I'm also using Lange's Case File books for additional studying.

### 5/5 — On demand with immediate feedback

*2017-07-19, version 4.2.4*

This app is excellent, especially for a busy parent with only a few minutes here and there to study!  Instant feedback and explanations. Easy to jump into study mode quickly (I open this rather than social media apps when I have few moments)  Makes practice questions rewarding. Questions seem very well written, challenging and appropriate.   Wish I would've found it sooner!
