There are others out there with better deals. ### 4/5 — Very good for studying and learning but lack of questions *2017-07-03* This is a very good app to learn things and really nail them down since there is only 90 questions .. however that's the downside , there is only 90 questions for 3 or so dollars. The other PTCB app is 9.99 for over 700 questions , so If you want more on the going studying , I suggest that one as well ### 2/5 — Ok *2017-01-10* Ok app honestly but paying for more isn't better their mostly the same questions as the free version and they repeat themselves . Not a wide variety or questions so spend your money elsewhere, this is just a last minute practice that's it ### 2/5 — Not enough questions *2017-01-08* I liked the app at first but the questions kept repeating themselves. And when you take the practice test they mark some answers incorrect even though you answered them correctly don't waste your money on this app ### 2/5 — xxxx *2016-07-08, version 1.3* I really liked this app at first, but the questions just repeat even when purchasing the full version. Once I had answered all the questions it was no longer challenging. It also closes and quits abruptly at the end of the 90 question practice test. I wouldn't waste my money on this app. ### 3/5 — App closed *2016-05-29, version 1.3* Please fix bugs, i didn't finish my exam but it closed on me. Tried many times and still the same ### 3/5 — App Quits *2016-04-18, version 1.3* Really enjoyed the app and decided to purchase to take the practice exam but you get to a couple questions left and the app closes so I have no idea how I did. It is frustrating. Please fix this. ### 3/5 — Great at first *2016-03-26, version 1.3* It was really helpful at first until I memorized all the questions. All the questions just get repeated over and over. Never any new questions even after purchasing. But I have all those questions down 100% ### 3/5 — Please fix *2016-03-24, version 1.3* Like it but every time I'm about to finish the practice exam it shuts off please fix it! ### 5/5 — Helped me pass my test *2016-03-24, version 1.3* Helped me pass my test it is similar to the actual test ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2021-04-11* Awful just awful maybe helpful if you want to fail. ### 1/5 — Waste of $3.99 *2020-11-07* Don’t buy the app it’s the exact same questions as the free version ### 1/5 — Wrong answers *2019-01-16* This app gives you different answers for the same question depending on the test. It will just confuse you more ### 1/5 — Not impressed. *2017-08-19* It's the same questions that is on the website. No use in paying for the test when it's online with a simple google search. ### 1/5 — Don't waist your money and time studying this book *2017-07-26* I study from this app and a book for my PTCB test preparation and I fail the test ... I spend many hours studying from this app... none of the questions from this app where in the test.. ### 1/5 — Dissapointing/ failed exam *2016-08-12, version 1.6* I purchased the full version of this app, studied hard and received passing scores in the percentile range of 87-100 every time I did the 90 question practices. The day I took my actual exam I failed. There were questions on the exam that I had never seen on this app nor the other app I used as well. This is supposed to be up to date with the 2016 format of the exam and it is not, which is horribly misleading. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2016-07-09, version 1.3* Spent $4 on this silly app that repeats the same questions over and over. Waste of money. It also crashes when you take the 200 question test. Super lame. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2016-04-23, version 1.3* The 10 and 20 question practice test works just fine but I paid for the app to take the full test and when you get to the end, it crashes and closes. And it just repeats the same questions. Waste of money! ### 1/5 — Fake app? *2016-04-20, version 1.3* I paid for Smart PTCB+ which looks exactly like this app but it crashes on the 9th question 100% of the time I use it. Why are there two apps that look exactly the same? ### 2/5 — Not Very Many Questions *2023-01-27* Expected more question database ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I recommend for all Pharmacy Tech Trainees *2024-09-17* Even though I went to a 6 month training course for pharmacy technicians, this app was the kicker that ensured I passed my Board certification on the first try. I used the free version until I was ready to take my test, then I purchased the complete study guide. I did all practice tests until I didn’t miss any questions in that given unit, then I shut that chapter down - did not take those tests anymore. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND. ### 5/5 — Pharmacy Tech great information *2024-03-13* AWESOME ### 5/5 — PTCB *2021-11-15* Getting ready for exam ### 5/5 — Definitely worth the money *2017-03-25* I primarily used this app to self-study for the PTCB and I passed first try. I would recommend this app to anyone wanting to take the PTCB exam. Only downside is it's the same 90 questions. I wish there was a larger pool of questions. ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-03-03* The best app! Easy to study ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-01-23* This app has helped me out a lot, I'm taking the test the first of next month, feeling a lot more confident about it now after using this. ### 5/5 — Best studying tool *2017-01-07* This app has helped me so much already! It's helped me get motivated to finish school to become a pharmacy technician. Absolutely the best studying tool, would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to study for the PTCB!❤ ### 5/5 — Great App and very helpful *2016-12-12* Good materials and helps with the study. Just wish there was a larger pool of questions. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2016-11-12* This app is great!!! ### 5/5 — This is awesome apps! *2016-04-03, version 1.3* Amazing! I'm positive I can pass my test!
