### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2026-05-08*

This app is great and super helpful! I am learning a lot and feel that the app is beneficial when on the go and when I cannot bring my laptop. The only improvement I can think of would be that the study plan could update through the app rather than having to log in on the computer to refresh the study plan. And to be able to access the analytics on the app too.

**Developer response:** We value your feedback to make this app the best it can be. We are actively working to implement changes our learners indicate would be valuable.
Your idea about being able to update the study plan directly through the app rather than needing to log in on a computer to refresh it is a great suggestion and one we can see would significantly improve convenience and accessibility. Similarly, adding access to analytics within the app would make it much easier for learners to track progress on the go.
Thank you again for taking the time to share this — we truly appreciate it and will be passing it along to our team for review.

### 3/5 — Glitches

*2026-04-09, version 1.0.37*

I keep having glitches or the wrong score come up after quiz or exam or marked incorrect when answer was chosen correctly

### 4/5 — Audio version and high importance review notes

*2025-08-20*

I would be  really beneficial to have audio version that we can play in the car by traveling and doing other chores. Secondly, it would be great to have a review section via the high jailed topics with notes can be found so we can review those high notes and then do the questions that would be a really great addition.

**Developer response:** Hello there! 

Thank you for taking the time to share these suggestions. An audio option for on-the-go studying and a dedicated review section for high-yield topics are both excellent ideas, and we truly appreciate your input. While these features aren’t currently available, we’re always exploring ways to improve the learning experience for our students. We’ll make sure your feedback is passed along to our team.

### 4/5 — Love but

*2025-07-08, version 1.0.28*

Love that I can take quizzes on it. But I’d like it if we could see the study plan too.

### 4/5 — Missing Information

*2025-06-22, version 1.0.27*

Some of the incorrect answers don’t have any rationale. Also, some of the one step further answers are sometimes unreadable.

### 3/5 — Great content, all is slow

*2025-03-13, version 1.0.25*

The content is great to study but the app has a lag which is extremely annoying.

### 4/5 — Have to re-download app everyday

*2025-03-03*

Hi, I am enjoying the app as it is easy to use and convenient. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I have to re-download the app everyday because it says that  I don’t have any quizzes or exams to take, like I don’t have access. However, when I delete it and then re-download again, it is working like normal.

**Developer response:** Hi there friend!

Thanks for the response! I want to make sure that you have the most updated version of our app as this is unexpected. Please feel free to reach out to support@npreviews.com for any further issues and our support team will be happy to take a look!

### 5/5 — FNP prep

*2025-02-10, version 1.0.24*

I love the convenience and how smooth the app runs. 10/10 I would recommend

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-01-08*

It’s a good app. My incorrect questions doesn’t refresh after I get them correct. Also I wish the app had more access to my account. Like exams. And the courses. So I can listen as I go easily.

**Developer response:** ***UPDATE*** 
Please download the most recent version of the app. That should fix the questions issue mentioned above! Reach out to support@npreviews.com with any questions!

### 4/5 — Looking for more

*2025-01-08, version 1.0.21*

Love it, but would be nice to have access to my study plan calendar within the app.

### 4/5 — Overall fantastic program

*2025-01-02*

The Sarah Michelle program overall was absolutely exactly what I needed to prepare for boards. I would HIGHLY recommend it to any new grad getting ready to take boards. I only gave the app itself 4 stars simply because I feel it should include access to the entire program (modules, live session reviews, and the PowerPoints) and not just the exams and qbanks. It did crash on me a few times and froze up which was inconvenient, however I didn’t have any issues with the questions being tallied incorrectly (as I’ve seen a few other users did). Overall however, being able to do quizzes on the go was super nice and I literally used it daily while studying. Good luck grads- you got this!!

### 5/5 — Great experience!

*2024-07-29*

Not sure why there are so many poor reviews. My experience was wonderful with the app and the content was great. I loved being able to do practice questions wherever/whenever in my free time. I passed first try. Utilized the SM practice bank via this app (and did an exam or two on the computer) and partially did the Leik review (didn’t get through it all). Passed first time. Great app for those studying for boards!

**Developer response:** We absolutely love to see this review! A super congrats to you!  Thanks for the feedback!

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2024-07-20*

The questions are well written, but are not up to date with current practice (i.e. new RSV vaccines available). 
Explanations are minimal compared to other FNP prep apps. Other question bank apps contain images, videos, charts, and a forum for comments on each question, which are more helpful.

**Developer response:** Hi there! We value your feedback to make this app the best it can be.  .We are working to implement changes our learners indicate would be valuable. Please reach out to support@npreviews.com. We are looking forward to hearing from you!

### 1/5 — App

*2025-01-29*

The app does not work for iPhone, it won’t load questions and is constantly just showing a screen that says loading. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it does not fix the issue. It is very disappointing paying for a product you cannot use to the full extent. I have used other apps for review questions and don’t have any issues.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-11-03, version 1.0.18*

When I sign in using the email, went to my account, it says I don’t have an an active subscription even though my account is less than a week old.

### 1/5 — No access to the videos or modules from app

*2024-04-19, version 1.0.11*

The app is a joke. You don’t have access to videos or modules from it so what is the point of having an app?

### 1/5 — Not usable

*2023-10-28, version 1.0*

Glitches and doesn’t work. Got a test loaded but wouldn’t go past first question. Just kept re-loading answer to question one.

### 2/5 — Stopped working 100%

*2025-07-06*

I loved this app when I first downloaded it. Loved that I could decipher what topic I wanted to be quizzed on so I could focus on my weak areas. But when I updated the app, it wouldn’t let me make any more practice banks. Customer service was quick to respond. Within 2 days I could make practice banks, but 6 days later I’m still unable to limit topics - which is annoying because I’m getting a lot of pediatric questions that I don’t need as part of my studying. I haven’t heard back from customer service in a few days so I’m still waiting to fix this problem.

**Developer response:** Hi friend — thank you so much for your feedback. We're so sorry this has been your experience — it’s definitely not what we intend! Please reach out to our team at support@npreviews.com so we can get this resolved for you. We respond within 48 business hours, and we’re happy to help get you back on track with your topic selection. We truly appreciate your patience and are here to support you every step of the way!

### 2/5 — Very upsetting

*2025-06-27, version 1.0.27*

This app does not work more than it does and slow. It just doesn’t work at all. It also freezes a lot. It is disappointing to know that we pay for a program and expect to have questions at hand, but the app doesn’t work as needed.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2025-02-02, version 1.0.23*

The app is glitchy as previous users have noted. When you attempt to make an exam, the categories don’t appear. The flag button doesn’t work as there is no way to save missed or questions you’d like to look back upon.

### 2/5 — App doesn’t work for apple

*2025-01-26, version 1.0.23*

The content is absolutely amazing. However, the app for Apple doesn’t work. I would highly recommend this program.

### 2/5 — Continue to freeze

*2024-09-28, version 1.0.17*

This app continues to freeze after doing a few questions. Have to continuously delete and add the app back.

### 2/5 — Keep getting repeats…

*2024-01-29, version 1.0.5*

With 1000 questions, I wouldn’t expect to get so many repeats. When I make a new practice set, i try to select unused questions only, but it always reverts to selecting questions from all 1000 available. If I make a set of 10 practice questions, I often get 7-8 repeat questions… and I still have over 600 questions that are unused! I’m trying to get through as many questions as a can before my test, so this is very frustrating!

Edit to add: losing another star.  4 days out from my test and neither the mobile app or website are working AT ALL!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-07-29*

The Sarah Michelle NP Review app makes studying unbelievably convenient. I love that I can head out for a walk in the park, get some fresh air, and still stay on top of my NP prep at the same time. The layout is clean, the content is clear, and the flexibility is amazing. It fits perfectly into a busy schedule and makes studying feel way less stressful. Truly a game‑changer for NP students.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for sharing this! It's wonderful to hear the app moves with you throughout your day — that flexibility is exactly what we're aiming for. We're so glad the layout and content have made studying feel more manageable and less stressful. Keep up the great work — we're rooting for you as you prepare for your NP exam!

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2026-06-29*

I purchased this as an investment in myself and my education. I lost a lot of content along the way with the stress of juggling schools with clinical work. The “pass guarantee” aspect of the Live Course Package, is enticing but completing the course work, reinforced I made the right decision to purchase this package and invest in myself. You should consider investing in yourself too 🫶🏻💕

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing this with us! We know balancing coursework, clinical work, and life outside of school is no small feat, and we're so glad the Live Course Package, and that Pass Guarantee peace of mind  helped you stay the course. Congratulations on completing it and on investing in yourself! Wishing you all the best as you move forward

### 5/5 — Excellent review!!

*2026-03-08*

SMNP Reviews is the Best review for anyone taking the ANCC Exam! I passed after doing the Crash Course and the 1 day Review in 2 weeks. I had questions that were my exam. Hands down 100% worth every dollar. Thank you so much to all the instructors. You Will Pass!💜

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that the Crash Course and 1-Day Review helped you feel prepared and confident for the ANCC exam. Congratulations on passing—that’s an incredible accomplishment! 🎉

### 5/5 — Passed

*2025-11-22*

Absolutely LOVE SMNP review! I used it for the FNP 3p exam and the AANP board exam. Passed both with flying colors! The question wording is similar so I felt very prepared. Plus I did all their qbank and exam questions and followed their study plan. Worth every penny. Strongly suggest using SMNP. I did use Leik as a supplement but I am telling you SMNP is gold.

**Developer response:** Wow, thank you so much for sharing this! Your review is absolutely amazing — such a huge congratulations on passing both exams with flying colors! 🎉 Hearing how well our materials aligned with the real exam and how confident you felt using the qbank, study plan, and full program is incredibly encouraging. We appreciate you highlighting the value, the preparation it provided, and even how it paired with your supplemental resources. Your feedback means the world — thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

### 5/5 — Well integrated in this digital era!

*2025-06-09, version 1.0.26*

I love having access on my phone to take short quizzes any time I want!

### 5/5 — FNP track

*2025-06-01, version 1.0.26*

This review course is amazing, to the point with great descriptive rationales. Also provides bonus questions to further dive into main questions!

### 5/5 — Works but poor design

*2025-04-24*

It is annoying that you have huge buttons with answers that don’t fit on one screen. Visually, it’s not helping with determining the right answer right away, and memorizing the right answer when reviewing. Constant scrolling up and down is not convenient. Instead, make the button size adjustable to the answer option  inside, so the question and answers fit on the screen.

**Developer response:** Hello!
