However, anytime I try to review the history of my previously answered questions, the app crashes. I will revise my review if this issue gets fixed but until then, I rate it 2 stars as being able to see what you got wrong and the % you got correct is crucial to self-evaluation in a studying app. ### 2/5 — Poor app, great questions *2020-03-07, version 1.0.8* Logs me out when I switch out to other apps. Doesn’t always keep me logged in, but doesn’t remember my password to log in easily next time. When I re enter the app it doesn’t remember the last question I left off of so I end up taking the same questions again. Testing pauses my music for some reason. Questions and rationale are great but the accessibility and use of this app is lacking and makes it difficult to use. ### 2/5 — Lose my progress every time *2020-02-18, version 1.0.7* There is no proof of tests i have taken and if I leave the app, my test goes away and I need to start from beginning which is so stressful especially on the practice tests. I’m so frustrated especially with the price I payed ### 2/5 — You will never get your time back. *2020-01-10, version 1.0.7* This would be a great app if my progress on a practice exam weren’t OFTEN completely lost should I dare exit the app for a moment. I have lost so many completed questions, having to start all over again, countless times. To add insult to injury, I also have to sign in all over again upon reopening, after leaving the app for even less than a minute. I have a couple other CCRN apps and this is the only one that does this! It’s infuriating! It’s always a gamble. I hadn’t opened it in a couple weeks but was still logged in when opened, but you will NEVER know when it will force you out and throw everything away. How is this supposed to be helpful if I can’t even keep my scores to compare against each other, or the questions I flagged for review?! Just buy the book and do the questions from there. ### 2/5 — Technical issues *2019-10-26, version 1.0.7* I like that there’s lots of questions and the rationale is included. But why should I have to log in every time I use it? I purchased the full version and it’s on my phone, logging in every time I need to study is annoying. It also kicks me out of the app. A lot. And then my progress isn’t saved. Lots of wasted time due to these glitches. ### 3/5 — Boo *2019-08-18, version 1.0.7* The thing I hate is you can’t really maneuver the test or questions well. ### 3/5 — Not bad... *2019-06-27, version 1.0.5* Great question bank with detailed rationales. Covers all topics of the test blueprint. Taking away one star for the amount of times the app crashes. And another for losing your progress when that happens. On several occasions, I’ve tried taking the 150 question practice tests. The first time I finished, it crashed before I could read the rationale and know what I got wrong. And several other times it crashed before I finished the test. Again, good questions with rationale. I take the exam tomorrow so I’ll find out soon how relevant it is to the exam! 😬 ### 3/5 — I like the content but.. *2019-05-23, version 1.0.2* I really like the test bank but the problem Is I bought the actual book and hoping that my online access will be link with this app because i have the actual book but i already registered my book online but this app is till not linked. Hoping you could help me. Thanks. *worst case scenario for me you are a third party and you cant link my contents. ### 3/5 — Does not measure progress *2019-04-28, version 1.0.1* I have bought your book in the past because I love the structure of your questions but due to my busy nature, I needed an app I can work with on the go. This app and the one from the book does not measure progress. it makes you start all over with questions one has already done. Maybe you can resolve this or ask Kaplan how theirs work. ### 3/5 — Questions are great but, app struggles *2019-04-19, version 1.0.1* Every time I go to the app, I have to log in again there isn’t an option to save our information. Not a deal breaker but, annoying. The annoying part is when you don’t finish a section it doesn’t save your progress so, you may have answered 30 out of 52 questions but if you exit the app and go back into the section you have to start all over again. The questions are the same so it’s not like you are learned or being tested on new information. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes when I access history of exams *2021-04-18, version 1.0.9* I purchased this review in hopes that it would prepare me for the CCRN exam. It has an abundance of questions but I am unable to access the rationales on the history tab. Whenever I press on it the app crashes instantaneously. I tried contacting support but have not received a response. I would expect better customer care for an app that cost $30 to access. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2021-01-29, version 1.0.9* I bought the ebook with the online access and wasn’t able to redeem the code on this app!!!!! Do I need to buy another access code here too that’s a rip off of money ### 1/5 — Contradictory *2020-11-05, version 1.0.9* Several questions contradict themselves. Stating certain conditions cause certain disease states, then saying it does not cause certain disease states in other questions. Questions may come from outdated material, not practiced, or currently controversial, further leading to confusion and frustration. Most questions aren’t bad, but I would just get the book instead. ### 1/5 — Poorly developed app *2020-05-05, version 1.0.8* I bought this app because of the ratings, and that was my mistake, I just saw the number but didn’t read the reviews, it would have saved me time and money. Everytime you open the app you need to log in, the entire practice is lost if you just minimize the app, every test have many repeated questions, so there is no way to track accurately your progress...and the developer is given the same excuses to the same old problems experienced by multiple customers over a long period of time, very disrespectful is you ask me since he got paid. ### 1/5 — Practice Exams *2020-04-09, version 1.0.8* This app is useless. The practice exams never record so you can’t review the questions you’ve answered incorrectly. Most important part of the app and it doesn’t work. Use Barrons app. ### 1/5 — Paid version crashes *2020-03-10, version 1.0.8* Free version worked fine. I just paid for the full version and now the app crashes constantly and doesn’t save my progress. I want my $$ back! ### 1/5 — No upgrade with purchase *2019-10-03, version 1.0.7* I paid 30 bucks and my app is still locked? I’m about to file it as fraud. ### 1/5 — Great questions terrible app *2019-08-02, version 1.0.7* Always freezes and looses your progress doesn’t keep tract of where you left off. Would not repurchase ### 1/5 — Lots of bugs and cannot access questions I paid for *2019-05-30, version 1.0.4* I purchased this app and within a week all of my questions were locked and unable to access. This caused a delay in my studying ### 1/5 — Does not save progress after purchase *2019-05-08, version 1.0.1* App was saving progress on sample questions. After I completed purchase, app no longer saved progress. Very misleading. Not able to start up where I left off because progress is not saved. Additionally, bookmarks and notes do not save. I would request a refund if I knew how. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best app in this sector *2025-03-15, version 1.2.0* Have used many apps to prepare for the exam but this one top in the list ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2024-09-12, version 1.2.0* Although I am just starting my journey to study for my CCRN & TCRN certifications, I feel like this app is somewhat helpful but also needs to be a bit more beefed up from what I have seen so far on this study guide. This app is extremely helpful but please do not stop adding to it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this educational opportunity. God bless! ### 5/5 — Promotes good study tactics *2021-02-22, version 1.0.9* So far I like this app better than any of the other CCRN study apps. It gives rational around the correct answer and even around the incorrect answers. It also gives tips on how to “guess” the right answer if you are unsure. So far, I’m just beginning to take the study questions for each section and am not sure how many questions I get with the free app portion. It so far I love it! ### 5/5 — Trouble with app *2019-09-03, version 1.0.7* I bought the online version but it will not log me in on the app. Do I have to buy both separate? ### 4/5 — Great app… *2022-04-22, version 1.2.0* ….but sometimes the questions appear out of order leading to inability to answer without guessing. ### 4/5 — Good question, tech issue or user error keeping me from getting the most out of it *2020-12-29, version 1.0.9* Good questions, however I’ve paid for lifetime access but multiple study and test banks are unavailable for use. It’s either a technical issue or a misunderstanding on my part. I enjoy the test bank however. ### 4/5 — RN *2019-12-11, version 1.0.7* Studying for my CCRN. True evaluation should wait until after I test I guess. I feel like the questions are relevant and rational is helpful. My only complaint is that sometimes app will suddenly time out and a few tests didn’t save. ### 4/5 — CCRN prep *2019-07-17, version 1.0.7* So far the app hasn’t given me much trouble. I haven’t be able to stay logged in all the time but no big deal. Like the questions and rationals ### 3/5 — Wrong answer *2024-08-12, version 1.2.0* Question 67 and 68 on cardiac has the right explanation but wrong answer selection. Please fix it. ### 3/5 — More free questions *2021-03-08, version 1.0.9* I love the questions and wish I have more for free. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
