I paid $39.99 for a month of access. They took the money but no access granted. I sent two messages/emails with no return help. ### 1/5 — Pricey *2024-12-29* 40 bucks a month for 170 sloppy questions?? Chiiiillll ### 1/5 — 10 questions a day *2024-07-28* So this app charged me $39.99 and I can only access 10 questions a day and it keeps demanding more money? Attempts at help from the app and re syncing the app were unsuccessful. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Dated, obscure, and inaccurate *2020-10-18* Clearly written using dated information. The app is littered with typos, and a lot of the questions are very poorly written and bizarre. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We value your feedback and are always working to improve and update our apps. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with further suggestions at nursing@hltcorp.com. ### 2/5 — Very okay *2023-09-13* Used for TCRN. There’s only 170 questions. Many of which are poorly written or badly formatted, which makes it hard to take it seriously. I also used materials from PDB Nurse Education and I’d recommend those wayyyyy over this, especially for the price. ### 2/5 — Rationals free version. *2018-10-19* They don’t let you see the rationals on the free version. The app works and looks good. Will buy it if I could see and check on the rationals. **Developer response:** Thank you for leaving this review! We will consider this change in the future. ### 3/5 — Can’t read whole questions or rationale at times *2021-04-12* Sometimes the whole question does not show up or the rationales are not fully readable. I tried scrolling down but there was not feature that allowed me to do this. Good questions **Developer response:** Assuming this is a paid subscription, you should not have this experience. Our customer success team would love to assist you! Please reach out at support@hltcorp.com ### 4/5 — Good App *2018-04-21* I used it daily to prep. It covers ALOT of the material on the TCRN exam. I took it yesterday and passed. However, there is nowhere near enough prep on trauma process improvement. the TCRN exam had over a dozen questions I had to straight up guess on. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this feedback! ### 5/5 — Why the changes *2023-08-23* Prior to 1day ago was not a subscription- was a great app and a great tool. But with recent format change as well as the desire for capitalism and subscription vs a true desire to allow the learner to use the app as a purchased item like a book. This change would limit any other springer publishing app that I might consider. ### 5/5 — TCRN *2019-01-28* Overall, I recommend this app. It has a lot of great information. The questions are in depth and offer great explanations. I didn’t like that I couldn’t click on the topics and answer questions like I’ve been able to on other apps similar to this one. I passed the TCRN and am thankful I had this app handy when I needed to review. **Developer response:** Congrats on passing your exam! Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are always working to update and enrich our apps so that they are as helpful as possible for our users. We appreciate the honest feedback and suggestions! ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super Useful *2019-01-01* This app has been incredibly useful in my studying. The quiz questions were very useful and I really appreciated the explanations. Definitely worth paying for the full version. I do wish there were photos associated with the e-Book as I had to refresh myself on anatomy and what certain injuries pertained to. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We're glad you've found this app to be a useful study tool. And thank you for the feedback about photos. We are constantly working to improve the app, and this is a great suggestion. Best of luck as you continue your nursing journey! ### 5/5 — Just passed my TCRN exam *2018-12-15* Couldn’t have done it without this app. Highly highly recommend. Could’ve used this app as my sole study tool and passed! **Developer response:** CONGRATULATIONS! We're so happy to be a small part of your nursing journey. Thanks for taking the time to let us know. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
