Very Helpful
I used pocket prep almost everyday to prepare for the security+ exam. I feel that overall this app was helpful but I would also recommend using other tools such as videos from professor Messer on YouTube, the All-in-One series book from Conklin & White, and Comptia’s simulations. These all helped especially the simulations for the performance based questions.

Good Preparation Tool for the Exam, but out of scope
The questions in the app pull from other study resources available like professor messor. As a result a lot of the questions available tend to be out of scope, thugs givong you an innacurate representation of what you know come exam day. Other than that, the app is great for learning and retaining information, but i wouldn’t solely rely on this for the exam.

Not worth the money
I regret purchasing the premium version after having answered all the free questions. Far too often the questions are vague and multiple answers can be correct. Most of the questions on the actual CompTIA exam provide more details and fewer choices that are red herrings. I was really hoping this mobile app would help me pass, but it often left me frustrated.

Bummer
They restricted the unlimited free access. It already had ads. I’ll be looking elsewhere for study materials.
Best Study App Ever
I was able to pass Sec+ by studying 24/7. No matter where I went I had practice questions with me and it was worth paying extra for the enormous question bank they have. Thank you for these! Side note: would really appreciate a CompTIA CySA+ study guide PLEASE!
Expensive, too easy, not worth it.
These questions are not even remotely close to the level of detail you will need for this exam. $19.99/mo for the paid version is also way too expensive. Go elsewhere, like the GCGA app.
Why does it forget my progress
This is a problem. Why doesn’t it sync with the progress I made. I have to start over every time I exit app
Content not related
Completely different content from what’s in all of the other UK study material I’ve read, not useful.
Use this as a stepping stone, not as your official readiness metrics
I’ve been using this app for previous certifications. It has been working great for me. Great app to help you solidify test objectives definition before moving on to exam-like practices offered by Dion on Udemy. These help but the exam is much harder than the questions on pocket prep.
A mess
This app is a mess. There’s a high probability of the presence of a bug that keeps reverting the system to a free app state there by erasing all study progress without any option of retrieving paid user data. Very disappointing and frustrating as I will always have to start all over from scratch. The developers need to fix this bug as soon as possible. Until then I give it 2 stars.

Response from developer
Hi there! Sorry to hear you've had an issue with your progress. We have fixed this issue and will be rolling it out soon.
Excellent.
Wish that it fed me more free questions, I can now definitely answer all the questions it has thrown at me.
For beginners ONLY
This app covers definitions of terms. If you already have some knowledge about the vocabulary for security+, it won’t be much help to you. The questions test your understanding of what the terms mean, but not how to apply them.
The questions provided are all much simpler than ANY of those in the actual exam. It’s partially my fault for buying the premium version before trying out the 30 questions provided, but the misunderstanding could have easily been avoided had the description provided been accurate. The app is presented as if it’s a way to test your readiness for the exam. It is not. I’m not really sure why there’s a money back guarantee if you fail the certification, because this app can not possibly provide you with the knowledge to pass. It’s got a great user interface and works flawlessly compared to similar apps, but the questions need serious work.
In short, DO NOT rely on this app to gauge your knowledge for the certification. Only use it if you’re a total beginner to familiarize yourself with vocabulary. For all others, I recommend Darril Gibson’s GCGA app.

Hi there! We appreciate your feedback, but we also wanted to mention that we get the opposite feedback from many other users. We offer Pass Guarantee because we are confident that our app helps you pass the exam.
Useless if not purchasing premium
Only gives you 30 questions for free, you have to pay 20$ to get 350 questions.
Great practice!
With SIMS it would make it ultimate!!
Don’t buy this app
Useless questions not in the exam objects.
Terrible
Terribly worded questions. Reference pointers point to pages without information pertaining to the answer.
Exams
I like the different questions and types awesome app!
Can’t reset my password
I paid for the full version. I’ve tried to reset my password multiple times and I have never received an email. I’ve checked my spam and nothing.
Hardly ever works
Not sure if anyone else is having this issue but my app always stalls and quits. I try to go in and answer questions but it never wants to work for me. Great resource just never wants to work.
Passed Security +
This App is wonderful! I really really got a better understanding from using this app daily! I always tell people to always use 3 sources of studying
1. A Security + Book
2. An interactive Practice test app (THIS APP)
3. Videos (Cybrary is what I used)
Also create some good old fashion study cards
But definitely utilize this app to study!
It helped me pass!
