Highly recommend for anyone studying. Great for a quick review daily and intake practice tests. ### 5/5 — Best Prep *2024-06-22* I tried and used multiple test preps for the exam. The inaccuracies in several others by “master” pharmacy techs made things confusing. Of all, this program is by far the best. Great information. Ample opportunity to review weaknesses. Overall it’s a great way to study. ### 5/5 — very strongly recommend! *2024-06-21, version 13.14.0* this app helped me, the biggest dummy in america, pass the ptce. well worth the subscription!!! i cannot recommend it enough. ### 5/5 — Highly recommend!! *2024-05-06* Crammed for 3 days using mostly this app and took the test and it was so easy in comparison, for sure is a big reason in why i passed!! Only thing is it doesn’t really help with learning the top 200, more so helps you apply to knowledge if that makes sense. So i recommend using some flash cards and/or quizlet alongside this. ### 5/5 — Well designed, very helpful *2024-03-02, version 13.11.1* Well designed, very helpful, lots of ways to structure your own study — makes the actual exam seem kind of easy (passed with flying colors the first time). ### 5/5 — Passed on my 1st take!! *2021-04-06* This app helped me a lot from taking my exam. It may not be the same question as I have on my actual PTCB exam but the thought is there!! It's been rephrased but when you analyzed it, you know right away that your answer was right if you read all the rationale behind the choices given each question. Best of luck to everyone! 2 thumbs up for this app! Love it! ### 5/5 — Best ptcb app *2020-10-16, version 6.7.9* This app helped me pass my test 5 years ago. My manager at Walgreens recommended it bc she was needing to get certified and at first she failed the first try then got this app and passed it. I always put show answers as I go bc that’s how I learn. Great app highly recommend!!! ### 5/5 — Es buenísima esta app ,la recomiendo 100% he aprendido muchísimo . *2020-05-23, version 6.7.6* he aprendido muchísimo,y la verdad he visto cosas eshe aprendido muchísimo,y la verdad he visto cosas espero pasar el examen con el favor de Dios ya les dejar ### 4/5 — Great but, *2020-03-27, version 6.7.6* the app I feel like is going to help me greatly and asks great questions that are geared for the test. Only thing is I paid for the upgrade and was using that for some days and it reverted back to the free app. ### 3/5 — Nice practice app but annoyed one purchase does not cover both iPhone & iPad *2020-02-24* Would have given 5 stars as this is excellent prep for the PTCE. However when I bought the $15 version it only unlocks it on my IPads (I have two & it works on both). However my iPhone doesn’t recognize that I already purchased one of the premium versions. Are really expected to pay twice for the same questions just so we can use it on two types of devices? So many other apps out there only charge you once. This should be especially true for an app that you’re only going use until you pass the exam it prepares you for. Just saying... **Developer response:** Hi there! Sorry for the late reply! We definitely don't want you to pay twice in this case. You should be able to get your upgrade accessible on all your device. You just need to make sure you are using the same Pocket Prep account on all of them. If it doesn't work, please reach out to us via Message Center so that we can help! ### 5/5 — I take my test soon *2019-12-03, version 6.7.6* I have the free version of the app, so there’s a limited amount of questions, but! It’s helped me learn some of the most popular questions on the test from what I’ve heard. So idk wish me luck ### 5/5 — Super helpful as supplemental material - passed! *2019-12-01* I saw this app several months before I was set to take the exam and basically answered a few questions every other day from the “Ultimate” package without any other supplemental material. This was super helpful in getting me familiar with different concepts and with starting to memorize difficult information very early. Then, about 6 days leading up the the exam, I reviewed the Mosby book chapters each day and used this to quiz myself over the material. Super helpful because although I started ACTUALLY studying 6 days before, I already knew a lot of the information from just using the app in my free time. 100% recommend and I PASSED! ### 3/5 — More tutorials *2019-11-25, version 6.7.6* I wish this had more tutorial content before practice testing. ### 5/5 — Passed exam thanks to app :) *2019-11-21, version 6.7.6* Made studying real easy, and while there are no exact questions on the test, the explanations tab after you answer a question give you a lot of insight on what can be, and topics to study in your own. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Error *2025-11-12, version 13.24.1* Please troubleshoot the program, it keeps giving me an error. ### 1/5 — Immediately requires a subscription *2025-07-20, version 13.22.4* - ### 1/5 — Not supported *2021-08-03, version 6.7.9* So I got this app a month ago and now all of a sudden it isn’t supported and wants me to download the medical pocket prep app. But I bought that app and this one at the same time. So what was the point in me paying for both if it was just gonna shut down and make me download the second app? I don’t even know how to get my money back ### 1/5 — No longer supported *2021-05-18, version 6.7.9* This should be removed from the app store. After downloading it just prompts you to install a different app 🙄 ### 1/5 — can’t even use THIS app *2021-03-10, version 6.7.9* no longer supported. required to use a bundled app with a subscription model instead. ### 1/5 — App NOT AT ALL what is promised!!!😡😡😡 *2020-02-17, version 6.7.6* Do not waste your time or money! This app is not at all what is promised. I paid $24.99 for the full app expecting to be quizzed with the 800 questions promised. There might be 80. I have gone round and round with ‘app support’ in email for days and have been told different excuses from day to day. I have email and screenshot proof of the same questions, that I’ve answered correctly OVER AND OVER AND OVER again, still popping up on every quiz I take. I wanted to use this to study for the PTCB that I’m taking in 8 days. My job depends on me passing and this app has been useless in helping me prepare. And no. It’s not my only resource of study, but it’s the one I could have taken anywhere with me to easily study. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Charged me but didn’t upgrade to premium *2019-08-16, version 6.7.3* I paid the $25 to upgrade to premium... worked for two days then suddenly booted me out and said I didn’t have the premium membership!! I have found no way to get it back. Complete waste of money. Developers need to fix this immediately !!! ### 1/5 — Stops working *2019-01-06, version 6.7* I upgraded to the $24.99 and it is frozen most of the time. ### 1/5 — I’d like to rate this higher, but consistently having issues *2018-01-05* This is a good app to study....if it actually worked consistently. Two problems that I’m having (iPhone 6): 1) With exam builder, the screen where areas to study are selected is completely blank (just a white screen) except for the green “next” button at the bottom. When pressed, it tells me I cannot proceed because no areas of study is selected. Yet I can’t do that as no matter what I do the study selection screen remains empty. 2) It always has trouble finding questions and gives me an error message instead. I hit refresh, it tries for 10-20 seconds and gives me the same message. Over and over. So even if I can get the study areas to be there, then the questions won’t load on the next step after selecting how many there will be. I’ve read from the developers that deleting and redownloading will help rectify these problems as they weren’t expecting people to continually do the same questions over and over (or something to that degree) and they’re working on a fix. That may be, but I’ve tried these solutions to no avail. As it stands, this app that I’ve paid for is totally useless. Even if it sometimes works (by far most of the time it doesn’t) it’s just not worth the frustration to meddle with it to get things working properly. Please fix this, devs! **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for taking time to leave such a detailed review! Have you reached out to our support team yet? There are other steps we can suggest to quickly get you back up and running with the app. You can reach us through the FAQ area; just tap "Send us a message" to get started. We'll be standing by to assist! ### 2/5 — Kachell *2019-01-30, version 6.7* This app is great but it constantly freezes and shuts off I maybe get to answer all the questions in a full day ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Passed! *2026-07-07* Great app! Well organized, easy to see progress and where to work on, large amount of questions and variety. I’m glad a coworker told me about this app! I’d bought a few review books, but this made the difference! Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — I passed using only this study guide and one other *2026-02-27* I found the other from an old Reddit post that had a 2007 outline which was great for math, but this app was the best guide for the actual test and the mock exams are VERY similar to the real exam! Highly recommend to ANYONE needing to pass this exam. ### 5/5 — Excellent help for passing the PTCE *2025-12-31, version 13.24.5* The prep questions were pretty much the same as the exam. Constant repetition saved me. I passed my PTCE and only used the subscription for 2-3 weeks. Highly recommend downloading ### 5/5 — Helped me pass just using for one month *2025-09-24, version 13.23.4* The best app! The most accurate prep questions and mock exams. I recommend premium. It’s worth the price! ### 5/5 — Passed the test! *2025-07-22* If you get tired of reading and watching videos this is the app for you. Tons of different ways you can study and make it personal to your preferences. Worth paying for the subscription. ### 5/5 — Recommend for daily practice *2025-05-19* Hi I used the free version to practice the question of the day, Quick 10 questions and timed questions. The format of the questions represent the actual questions on the PTCB. I am not sure but I can vouch that the pai’s version would be great. I passed the exam. Thanks for the great study resource ### 5/5 — helpful *2025-01-27, version 13.19.2* i encourage everyone seeking to pass the ptcb to download this app. just took the test and passed!!! i will say make sure you know your medications and drug classes for flash cards as this isn’t really covered here but everything else you can think of will be here to give you the feel of the test, especially a lot of the law q’s and patient safety. ### 5/5 — I passed! *2025-01-18, version 13.19.2* After taking the 123cpht course I felt like I needed more information to pass confidently. This app was AMAZING. The questions were harder than the ones on the actual exam and I am so thankful for that because I felt confident in most of my answers. Truly a great test prep app. I did every question on the app multiple times to make sure I really had it down. The only other tools I used were Rx Corner and YouTube top 200 drug reviews. ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2024-11-06, version 13.16.0* passed my test and used this app to study for 2 and a half straight weeks!!! AMAZING! ### 5/5 — Review PTCE *2024-10-06, version 13.16.0* I passed and loved the mock test feature. Took all 3 before taking the exam and it helped me a lot. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
