I bought the book first but it was kinda overwhelming and a lot to carry around. This was always with me since I always had my phone. The app breaks everything down into categories - lets you rate if you knew the question or not - It gives you every rationale behind the answers - gives definitions for each answer - you can go back and revisit items you need to review. This app is great! I felt very prepared and passed with flying colors. 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — SPD tech *2024-07-07, version 14.1* This app is helpful being a SPD tech because if I know the procedure then it is helpful in picking the instructions to go with it. ### 5/5 — Straight forward and well detailed *2024-05-14, version 14.1* To say the least is very informative and simple to understand and retain the knowledge of the subject. ### 5/5 — Well designed app *2024-03-25, version 11.6.42* This app is hitting all of the important points that are necessary for a general understanding of microbiology from a surgical technologists point of view. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-03-17, version 11.6.42* I love they give you an exploration of everything. ### 5/5 — Believe the Hype!! *2023-09-23, version 9.0.8* I just took my exam a couple months ago, and I meant to write a review then, but this app really helped! My whole class used it to study. Worth every penny. It goes over all aspects of the exam and has tons of questions that prepare you for how the questions will really be worded. Remember to go with your first instinct first! Don’t change answers! Best of luck, future scrub techs! Btw, I passed mine! ### 5/5 — Wrong Answers *2023-08-25* I’m on the first day of the free 3 day trial. I’ve gone through about 45 questions and found 4 obviously wrong answers. I honestly don’t think I can buy this app if it persists. The layout is great but typos and wrong answers are not worth it. Also there’s a 5 star rating section on each question. If you rate the question 1 star an option pops up to notify the developer… It doesn’t work. :/ ### 5/5 — Bad customer service *2023-02-20, version 8.102.10743* Some of the answers in the app or book are wrong , I email customer service they never write. It’s a waste of money for almost $30/month. What a joke 🤦🏿‍♂️ ### 4/5 — Useful overall *2023-02-11, version 8.102.10743* Overall good study material, lots of useful review questions. A few questions contain typos or are wrong which makes me lose a little confidence. I don’t think I would use this as my sole resource but it’s a great supplement to course material. ### 5/5 — Get this one! *2022-07-16, version 8.91.10188* So much better than the board one ### 4/5 — Great but has some flaws *2022-07-03, version 8.91.10188* Great but has some questions that are blatantly wrong. For example there is a question asking what suture code RB stands for and the “correct” answer on the app is Renal Artery Bypass? Like come on 😂 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2026-03-08, version 31.10.1* The app does not work. It shows blank page for each tab with error occurred message. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but did not change. Not recommend ### 1/5 — App won’t work *2025-03-03, version 25.0* Updated the app and now it won’t work anymore ### 1/5 — Questions *2024-05-14, version 14.1* I wish they wouldn’t ask, know, don’t know , some what know. ### 1/5 — Did *2024-03-01, version 10.4* I stopped the subscription a long time ago and continue to get charged. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2021-02-14, version 8.17.6525* I was really excited to use. Unfortunately it doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — 1600 Questions *2019-03-23, version 6.6.4564* 1600 questions are you serious? Do you really think someone’s gonna go through 1600 questions and then want to take the test and then remember the question before. Wow ### 2/5 — Ever since completing all questions it doesn’t work *2026-06-21, version 34.3* This app worked great until I completed all the questions. Now it doesn’t work right. Doesn’t tell me what I need to work on where I stand among the questions. It’s become very frustrating to use. I deleted it and reloaded it. It still doesn’t work right… or as one would expect. I don’t know if others could be experienced this problem but… it’s made me feel other questions from other apps and other sources. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-02-26, version 24.0* Doesn’t work on my ipad yet I bought it and the app says my ipad is compatible. I have it downloaded on my iPhone and it works but not my ipad! Very upsetting that I can’t study on my ipad when I payed for it. When I open the app it just shows my progress but doesn’t let me study any of the subjects !!! ### 2/5 — Can’t see the entire question... *2019-11-18, version 6.6.4564* It would be a great app but I can’t see the entire question. How can you practice if the entire question is not visible? Hope there’s an update soon to get this corrected than I can change my stars from 2 to 5. ### 4/5 — I love the app but *2024-11-07, version 19.2* I would give it 5 stars but it doesn’t the quick review “Review Concept” like the book does. So I have to still carry the book and use the app at the same time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy app to use *2026-07-15, version 34.3* This type of studying is easy and on the go. You can access it anytime and do quick little questions throughout the day which I love. It also explains the answers which I found helpful. ### 5/5 — Amazing, just one issue. *2026-02-21, version 31.10.1* I’ve been using this app for a while now and I love it. Unfortunately the subscription fee is a bit too much for me but for now, using the daily questions has work. My only issue with this app is that when I use it in the iPad, I often run into a problem where the question is shown but the answers are not. It stays blank for a while and even when resetting the app, the questions still don’t show up. It’s great on iPhone, haven’t had any issues with it there. Must be a software issue. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-26, version 31.10.1* Perfection ### 5/5 — Who ever made this is a blessing *2026-01-22, version 31.10.1* This app is so well made. Has question from easy, medium, hard, to challenging. I love a well functioning, clean helpful app. I was spending so much money with other websites but this is so worth the cost. It’s all those other websites in one. Thank you for who made this app! ### 5/5 — Haven’t scrubbed in 11 years *2026-01-11, version 31.10* I haven’t scrubbed in 11 years and look to get rectified to srub again. This app has really helped refresh my memory. ### 5/5 — Passed my certification exam with this app! *2025-08-30, version 29.6* I studied for my CST certification exam using this app every day for a month straight and I honestly think this was a huge part of why I passed!! The app is incredibly user friendly and the questions are relevant to the actual questions that are on the exam, and covered every topic that could possibly be on the exam as well! It’s affordable compared to some other apps and resources out there for CST certification exam prep, and well worth the price. Very thorough app, highly recommend as a tool to help you study for the national certification exam! ### 5/5 — Amazing app for CST exam *2025-07-23, version 29.2* i would give this app 100 stars if I could!! I used this app to study for my CST certification exam and I passed on my first time taking the test! This is literally the only resource I used to study 3 weeks before my test and it helped me so much! They have actual questions that were on my exam! Best app to use to study! If you go through it daily you will pass your exam! ### 5/5 — CST *2025-02-19, version 24.0* Great app for setting me up for success for my up coming CST exam at the end of my phase 2 of army training! ### 5/5 — Passed the test!! *2025-02-14, version 24.0* Thank you guys for the app! I had a couple of complications and their support team was very helpful. I enjoyed the feedback per options as to why it’s correct or incorrect!! ### 5/5 — Best App for CST *2025-02-09, version 24.0* I’ve tried many CST apps and this one seems to be the one. I take my exam on April 18 2025 and I’m putting my faith in CST Mastery. Good luck everyone --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
