This app made studying on the go convenient. I did purchase the premium plan and I’d say it was well worth it. ### 3/5 — Just took the TEASE *2023-07-08, version 3.8.1* I just took the test and the English-reading and math was spot on to this app and the app prepared me well. The Chemistry / Anatomy was NOT spot on. The app offers wonderful information on the subjects, but gave very little help to the actual questions given. I think you the developers need to cough up $120 to take the test themselves and update the app to better address the current questions on the exam. I paid for the subscription and hope the other exams practices provide more up to date material. ### 5/5 — One of the best apps for the HESI test *2023-01-11, version 3.6.6* Love the user interface! Great questions and explanation! Great way to track your progress and focus on weaker areas. Love this app! Hope I can pass my HESI 🙏🙄😊 ### 5/5 — Great resource for price. *2022-12-16, version 3.6.6* User friendly app that makes studying less stressful. Rationales are thorough and help reinforce deficiencies. 10/10 would recommend. ### 5/5 — Just downloaded *2022-08-11, version 3.5.2* Fun way to study, good mix of questions so far after about 50. ### 5/5 — Amazing little app! *2022-08-03, version 3.5.2* This app helped me prepare for the HESI A2 exam and I passed all the sections I was required to take with 90’s! It was so convenient to take the “quick 10” quizzes during breaks at work or any time I had some time to kill. It was also very helpful to see my stats and what areas I needed to study more. I’m so thankful for pocket prep :) ### 5/5 — TEAS-86% *2022-07-23, version 3.5.0* This was my primary study tool for the TEAS! I did about 1000 questions. I also read 1 chapter out of the ATI TEAS book on chemistry 2 hours prior to my test. That was all I did. I was averaging a 78% on in-app quizzes, I completed the TEAS with an 86%! ### 4/5 — Good for everything except Bio & Chem (HESI) *2022-06-18, version 3.4.2* I’m not saying it’s BAD for these two subjects.. it can get you to pass. However, the actual test wasn’t as similar to the stuff ok pocket prep as it was for anatomy. I had to guess on a lot of stuff, and I felt horrible when taking the test. I ended up getting an 84 on each which were my lowest scores. So definitely use like four other sources in addition to the elsiever book and this app. ### 5/5 — 10/10 recommend for HESI! *2022-06-15, version 3.4.2* I purchased the one month subscription to get more practice questions and quizzes…. let me tell you it was the best money I’ve ever spent! I made it through a majority of the practice questions in each subject and received a 93 overall!! I used this app 90% of the time to study and the HESI A2 book for the rest. This is such a great app! ### 5/5 — Conquered my exam! *2022-06-03, version 3.4.1* This app was a huge help for studying for the TEAS. I did about 1200 questions, including all of the science and anatomy ones. I also used the Mometrix book which I liked and a couple of library books with more practice tests. I liked that this app let you choose which subjects you wanted to practice, and the answer explanations were super helpful. I scored high enough to get guaranteed admission to my nursing program, and I couldn’t have done it without this app! ### 3/5 — For anyone that doesn't want to pay premium *2022-05-28, version 3.4.1* This is a good app. But for anyone that doesn't plan to pay for premium, it's not really worth downloading. The same questions will pop up repeatedly except for a singular question of the day. ### 5/5 — Passed Hesi A2, now 3rd ASN semester *2022-05-20, version 3.4.1* I’ve had this app for a while. I used it for my Hesi A2. I was accepted into nursing school, my Hesi score was a 92. I’m now a 3rd semester RN student. I have 2 more semesters until NCLEX! I’ve finished all classes with no less than an 85. Get THIS APP! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-04-18, version 3.3.0* I cannot recommend this app enough! Using it and the mometrix test prep book I scored a 92 on the TEAS! Well worth the premium if you have a little extra cash. ### 5/5 — This app is the G.O.A.T *2022-03-31, version 3.3.0* I purchased two HESI prep books on Amazon to assist me with preparing for my exam. The information in the books, although helpful wasn’t packaged the way I needed it to be as a busy mom of 4. Being able to whip my phone out and do practice questions anywhere really helped me and I believe was the single greatest factor in me scoring an 88 on the test. If you struggle with chemistry I suggest you search HESI chemistry on YouTube and review the video by Marissa Ann. Her video in conjunction with this app helped me tremendously. The paid version of this app is a must if you lead a busy life and struggle to find the time to flip through a book. ### 5/5 — So far so good, I’m liking it, very understanding and clear explanation🤗 *2022-03-18, version 3.2.0* Love it so far, just got started today 🤗 ### 5/5 — Life saver! 100% would recommend!! *2022-03-01, version 3.2.0* This app was my main form of study for my HESI A2. And let me tell you it was a life saver! I swear this app is the biggest reason I passed my HESI!! And with high scores!! I felt confident going into my test because I studied with this app. It is 100% worth paying the money for the full access. You get of questions to study with and it gives you an explanation of the answer. The explanations helped me learn even more material before my exam. I plan on using this app to help me study for the NCLEX. I would highly recommend this app!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NCLEX RN *2021-10-06, version 2.2.2* This app would be great for school if it actually had subject like cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurology separated but they consider subjects to be basic care, management care, and psychosocial. This app isn’t good if you want to focus on a specific area in med/surg. It’s not helpful for school exams; it’s only helpful when preparing for the NCLEX only. ### 1/5 — DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME *2021-08-26, version 2.2.1* This app has been extremely buggy for months. The questions honestly are way more complicated than the actual teas exam. Just buy the mometrix ati version 6 book and go from there. Steer clear with this one and save your time and money. ### 1/5 — Where is the CST practice test since were forced to download this app? *2021-08-02, version 2.2.1* I used to have the NBSTSA pocket prep app. It became "outdated" after i purchased it and i was redirected by the app to download this one. However i am not in nursing school and these exams are not the exam i will be taking, so where is the CST practice exam????? ### 1/5 — Paying monthly and it went back to basic mode *2020-12-05, version 2.0.0* Not a reliable study tool. I have TEAs in a few days and have been paying monthly for more questions, well now it just went back to basic mode after I have continuously paid for it. Time to call iTunes and ask for a refund and go back to book studying. Can’t believe I’m paying monthly for this and for some reason it’s still in basic mode with 10 questions. Terrible problem ### 1/5 — Quizzes don’t resume where you left offf *2020-04-27, version 1.2.7* I have heavily used both the TEAS and NCLEX-RN individuals apps and LOVED them. To say that they have been a valuable resource is an understatement. But I HATE the new combined app. I find it completely worthless, which is a shame since I paid for it. It doesn’t keep a record of your unsubmitted quiz and allow you to pick up where you left off if you need to come back to it. When you are a student who is also a mom there are many interruptions to your study time. The old apps allowed for that. This one does not. ### 2/5 — Not NECLEX Friendly *2025-10-17, version 3.24.0* I can’t speak for the other tests, but for the NCLEX and Exit HESI this isn’t helpful compared to other apps and websites. The questions are rudimentary and even the more “complicated” ones lack the information needed to apply critical thinking skills—oftentimes leading to confusion or a wrong answer due to this. I think the idea of the app is good, I liked the leveling up quiz mode, but my recommendation is to make the questions more NCLEX-styled for, well, NCLEX studying. More information like how many hours post-op, lab values, ages of newborns per month, etc.. All of these minor details are what gives us a better idea of the patient and expectation we should have for their condition; especially with disease processes that are similar and rely on these minute differences to distinguish them apart. Tl;dr if you’re looking for an app for specifically NCLEX, I would not recommend this one. Maybe with future updates, but as it stands I wouldn’t put $15 into it. ### 2/5 — Be careful on science section *2024-05-31, version 3.13.1* I used this app for about a month, purchased the premium and studied every single day. I spent hours every day and got good passing grades on ALL my sections including the mock exams. I took the TEAS twice, and let me tell you… I failed the science both times because the questions were completely different. It’s a good tool to practice on the go, but I would use other methods especially on the science section. ### 2/5 — Helpful for the HESI A2, useless for the NCLEX *2024-04-25, version 3.12.2* I liked this app a lot while studying for the HESI A2. When it comes to the NCLEX, it’s worthless. The questions are basic and the explanations are not great compared to other apps. They also only have traditional questions and don’t have any next gen questions, or if they do, I haven’t ever hit any of them. Pretty much any other NCLEX app will be a better choice than this one. The one thing they have going for them is a nice UX but their UI is not good. They have hardly any filtering functionality (only 8 subjects and no sub filtering) and I haven’t found a way to create quizzes based on starred questions. That’s the bare minimum and they don’t even have that. So no, I wouldn’t recommend it for nursing students. ### 2/5 — Hesi A2 *2023-08-08, version 3.8.2* The Hesi A2 study guide is a little helpful, but do not rely solely on this app as your main source of studying. I made that mistake and did not pass. ### 2/5 — When it doesn’t freeze... *2020-08-24, version 1.6.1* I’ve used Pocket Prep before and have always been a fan! This one, however, takes at least 30 seconds to load initially, and it freezes frequently. I don’t have this trouble with any other app on my iPhone (6s). But, hey, when it’s working as it should be, it’s a nice app to crawl in bed with, especially for the quick quizzes. I do wish users could zoom in on the illustrations within the quiz answer explanations. Hopefully an update will fix the constant and frustrating freezing!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Premium accessibility *2025-04-09, version 3.20.0* I wish the premium amount were more accessible! I’m students and between all the expenses plus this I can’t unfortunately afford it. The app seems nice and let you pick for which test are trying to study for. Thank you ### 5/5 — Works *2024-12-27, version 3.19.1* Passed my test! I used this app a lot with other study material provided by ATI. ### 5/5 — HESI A2 Passed 1st Attempt *2024-12-08, version 3.19.0* Used this company for my CPC and passed the 1st attempt. This is the first place I go to for all my major exams for entrance or certification in medical. Came back to for HESI A2, after studying took exam and passed on 1st attempt. This is one of my top used on the go study exam prep tool. ### 5/5 — I passed my TEAs test! *2024-08-23, version 3.14.2* I used this app for about 2-3 weeks before the test. I didn’t use any other study materials and I passed with a 78! Well worth the subscription for one month. I used the level up questions for the subjects that I struggle with (mostly the science ones) and I feel like it helped me a lot. ### 5/5 — The helper has to enhance academic capacity. *2023-11-23, version 3.10.0* As a current nursing student and single mother of 2 children, this app has given me the opportunity to better process and triage the mental data i have accumulated to be able to critically apply and perform nursing services better. Thank you so much. ### 5/5 — A nice change from textbooks & ATI *2023-09-23, version 3.9.2* I passed NCLEX & got the highest TEAS score in my class (before nursing school). It was a nice change from dealing with the textbooks and ATI, because you got lots of critical thinking questions with solid rationals. I honestly feel like the SATA questions from this app were more like NCLEX than ATI. ATI is solid prepping you, this was just an excellent, low stress, customizable app that I highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Studying for hessi *2023-06-24, version 3.8.0* I love this app ### 5/5 — TEAS 7 Pass! *2023-04-20, version 3.6.9* Studied seriously for the TEAS for about two weeks using this app and the mometrix book! I definitely used this app the most, looking at the book only for the topics I was getting wrong on the app. Passed with 84%! ### 5/5 — Passed the HESI A2 *2023-02-10, version 3.6.7* Passed the HESI thanks to this app. Did about 500 questions, got 86% on the app. Got 88.5% on the HESI. The HESI was wayyyyyy easier but thats cuz there was literally no science sections on mine, just grammer, reading, and math. Lol. ### 5/5 — TEAS EXAM SUCCESS *2023-01-29, version 3.6.7* I studied for the teas for 3 weeks while only using Pocket Prep. Passed with a 76%! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
