Multiple incorrect questions and answers

There are multiple wrong questions and there is no way to have them corrected.

LOTS of answers that are wrong

One example…. Man smokes 0.5 packs for 60 years…. The explanation says the answer is 0.5x30….. also a lot of the explanations are very half-explained…… I love the interface and testing / practice options but I don’t really trust any of these answers.

EDIT: just came across a question telling people to ASPIRATE before IM injections. I have been an LPN for 5 years THIS IS OUTDATED BY OVER 10 years! I am stopping using this app immediately, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, this should be removed from App Store.

Bad Questions

20% of the questions contain factually wrong information. For example, the type of precautions for different diseases.

App no longer supported

This appears to be an outdated app? It says to download something else

Okay to learn with

I bought the 900 questions, was expecting to have some SATA questions and simulations ..but it wasn’t available. I wish they could upgrade their app/ questions to meet the actual exam.

Very good content

Well worth the price. Regular updates to optimize usability. Thanks

Okay

Its easy to do questions on the go with this app. It’s pretty good but I don’t think it’s worth $25 to buy a premium subscription for this app. The rationales are subpar and the questions treat themselves. You can’t choose what category of nursing you want to take questions from (peds, OB, med surg, etc). I recommend saving up for a better question bank.

Great study tool!

I love how easy it is to do 10 question quizzes from anywhere. I do one every day to prepare. The rationales are great, even when I get the question correct to help me learn why the other answers were wrong. Super affordable compared to other apps and online classes. Highly recommend!

Still reset

Why I did it like 500 questions then they reset.two times..

False Advertising

I purchased the classic app for $16.07. The app does not offer any study subjects. The ONLY subject is fundamentals of nursing. There is no pharmacology, no med surg, no critical care, no maternal-newborn, no mental health, no peds. Total waste of money if you actually plan on sitting for the NCLEX. I requested a refund and Oleksandr said, “No.” Obviously, app developers are in another country... TOTAL SCAM. I recommend not even downloading it because who knows what they’ll do with your personal info.

Decent

I paid for the premium with 900 questions but so many questions repeat, even ones I got right the first time. Seems like false advertising but overall satisfied with the test prep considering other options want recurring payments.

Response from developer

Hi there! So sorry to hear about this issue! Please contact us through the app and we’ll get this problem sorted out asap. We appreciate your understanding and support.

Questioning the information

I’ve run across some answers that are wrong. I enjoy the app for what is made for but I’m starting to feel like I can’t trust the content. This is my future I’m preparing for and would hate to waste my time and money on info that’s incorrect.

What’s happening?

I love the content and layout of this app. But it is constantly crashing, freezing, and not loading. If I spend 25 dollars for 800 questions on an app I expect it to work flawlessly. I’m beginning to get angry.

Improve Customize Option & Some answers are incorrect

It would be great if you guys could make it so that we could specify what between Pharmacology, Adult Medical Surgical, Maternal Newborn, Nursing Care of Children, etc. That would allow us to focus on content area we struggle with versus the NCLEX general areas (those are helpful but content areas are more helpful).

Also some answers (one for sure) are wrong. I know this for certain based on my previous career. It makes you second guess other questions when things like this happen. I would give a 3.5/5 rating but because I can’t I’ll give the better rating of 4/5.

Very happy with this app

Keeps me on my toes... even though it’s just ten questions they make you pause and really think through. Feeling confident with my decision of downloading this app.

wouldn’t recommend buying app

I used the free trial for a while and loved it. Once I ran out of free “question of the day” I went ahead and paid the $13 for the app and have found it to be disappointing. I have had several of the same questions over and over. If I’m going to pay $13 for an app I would expect to gain something from it and not be asked the same question repeatedly.

Helped before..!

I used the EMT app to pass my boards and it was a lifesaver!! I hope this will help me pass my NCLEX too. Just a suggestion - you should be able to sort the questions via body system (ex. Cardio/pulmonary/renal/neuro) to focus study questions. I’m sad that isn’t an option :(

LOVE this app!

LOVE this app! So happy I bought the full version to study on the go! The email the day before wishing me luck was such a unexpected, kind surprise. Very simple to use and helped me pass the NCLEX!

Not working

Why the apps not loading ....😫🤑

App doesn’t load tests

I reached out to the support team and didn’t get a response. It’s a faulty app. It won’t load the questions so basically it’s a waste to try and take a test because it isn’t going to load!
