I bought the full version though and went through all the questions. When there's nothing to do it’s easy to just do a 10 question quiz. I would do some during my lunch break at work. I highly recommend this app. The only downfall is that it repeats like 8/10 of the questions. I reached the maximum number but every time I retook a quiz I would see 1-2 new questions and 8-9 old questions. ### 4/5 — Studying student *2019-06-05, version 6.7.3* I think this app is great! There have been a couple of questions that have had more than one accurate answer which makes you question yourself, but other than that great variety of questions! Really showing me what I still need to study before my test day!!😬 ### 4/5 — Paid for pro but technically not 700 questions?? *2019-04-18, version 6.7* I answered all questions but in reality some questions were repeated like 10 times so it’s like I only unlocked maybe 200 or 300 questions therefore I feel slightly jipped :/ But overall the setup of the app such as the qotd and progress tracking is helpful, the questions are 99% accurate (I THINK I found like 1 off question) and the questions are utd. Hopefully their relevant to the 2019 VTNE, I’ll get back to this if not!! Other than repeated questions, benefits definitely outweigh the pitfalls 👍👍👍 **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. Please contact us through the app and we’ll get this problem sorted out asap. We appreciate your understanding and support! ### 4/5 — Good tool to utilize but slow update *2019-03-13, version 6.7* I am using this as one of many tools to study for my VTNE. This along with textbooks (Mosby’s and Prendergast Review for Veterinary Technicians) and Vet Tech Prep will have me prepared for my test! The questions are a great review and the app allows you to see your weakest domains. The only issue I have is the app is EXTREMELY slow lately and constantly crashes. I would love to utilize this tool more but I get frustrated with the amount of time I spent trying to get the app to work and load. ### 4/5 — Great app worth it to get the full version *2018-07-21, version 6.5.4* This app is phenomenal I just took my VTNE and the wording and questions were so similar, it was great practice. it also was great to show your weaker subjects I used this app and another book and did amazing on my VTNE! ### 4/5 — Pretty happy *2018-02-22, version 6.1.5* I paid 11 something when I upgraded to pro. I was pretty happy and the questions didn't repeat themselves. Recently tho they have been repeating a lot, but I still love the app and it has helped me review. -Update I passed my exam thanks to this app and an orange review book! ### 3/5 — Good not what you need *2017-09-30, version 6.3.2* This app is very helpful but nowhere close to what you need to pass the VTNE. Took it and passed in August 2017. ### 4/5 — Recommend! *2017-07-05, version 6.3* It is well worth the money to buy this app. Its $15 for good quality questions similar to what I see in Mosby's or Elsevier. Would be nice to have more questions🙃 ### 4/5 — Great prep help *2017-04-24, version 6.3* The only issue I have is that the explanations don't always explain the incorrect answers completely. Other than that, this app is fantastic! ### 4/5 — Good *2017-02-18, version 6.1.3* It's a good app with lots of current and quality questions but the amount of questions is not that good compared to the price paid. My biggest issue with this app is that it doesn't work with internet connection. If I have a slow connection or none at all then the app just stays loading the questions of the day indefinitely. ### 4/5 — Good app to help review *2017-01-31, version 6.1.3* I feel as though the app is a little expensive for the number of questions you get, but overall it is still cheaper than some options for the VTNE prep. Currently using this during school to watch my progress over time. The source of the questions are also in the answers, so you can see and cross reference questions to their book for more info. Overall I'd say this is a good way to keep yourself in a daily mindset to prepare for the exam. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not helpful *2020-12-08, version 6.7.9* I downloaded this app because I’m preparing to take the VTNE this year. I went to go open the app and it said that this app was no longer supported and directed me to an app that doesn’t even offer prep for the VTNE. ### 1/5 — Unable to purchase ultimate edition *2020-06-07, version 6.7.6* The app button for purchasing the ultimate edition VTNE questions is not working, preventing full utilization of the app. The classic button seems to work. ### 1/5 — Mix review *2019-04-23, version 6.7* I have had this app for over a year now. I was enjoying it and learning a lot. Now I am disappointed on how it hasn’t been working for me, almost a month now. I am getting fed up with it. It won’t load my daily questions anymore and it kicks me out of the app so at least once a day I have to log back in my account. I try to send messages but that option doesn’t even work for me either. Almost fixing to remove it from my phone. **Developer response:** Hi there! So sorry to hear about this issue! Please contact us through our website and we’ll get this problem sorted out asap. We appreciate your understanding and support. ### 1/5 — Wow! *2019-04-03, version 6.7* Was an awesome app, even purchased all 650 questions! Until one day it decides to shut me out and doesn’t even recognize my email as a user! Thanks VTNE POCKET PREP! Once again thanks for the reply but how am I suppose to contact your company through the app when it is saying I don’t have an account... why would I want to make a new account ?!? Y’all are something else!!! **Developer response:** Hi there! So sorry to hear about this issue! Please contact us through our web platform, and we’ll get this problem sorted out asap! ### 1/5 — Removed qotd bank. *2016-07-29, version 6.0.2* You used to be able to look at the questions of the day that you already answered, it was a big motivation for me to open the app everyday so there wasn't a gap in my list and you can no longer do that. It's just another way they are trying to get people to pay for the app so they can get the "full" version, but I've already paid for it so why change the feature that I bought the app for? A bigger qotd bank. ### 2/5 — Would be nice if *2020-06-11, version 6.7.6* When I clicked on upgrade, it would actually upgrade. I’m a student and thought this would be useful but I’m stuck in the trial version and my app must have a bug bc the upgrade feature doesn’t work so I am going to check on other apps. ### 2/5 — Great questions but it glitches way too much *2019-11-22, version 6.7.6* I love the questions in this app but the app glitches multiple times as I’m trying to use, when I go to build an exam sometimes the topics won’t appear so I can’t start the exam because I can’t pick any topics. Sometimes I just try changing screens within the app and it will not load or change. It’s frustrating to have paid for this app and for it to have so many issues as I’m trying to study for a really important test. Honestly my VetTech Prep app is better than this app, it more expensive but save your money and don’t buy this app go for the VetTech Prep instead, you won’t be sorry ### 2/5 — Not for me *2019-08-19, version 6.7.3* Didn’t help me feel prepared for the VTNE at all. The questions seemed oversimplified compared to the questions that were actually asked on the exam. ### 2/5 — SO SLOW *2019-07-29, version 6.7.3* Love this app and it’s questions, great idea to have the studying on the go. Hate how SLOW it is! How sometimes it randomly logs you out, and how the past exam metrics don’t even load 99.9% of the time. Exam is in 2 weeks, if I pass, will raise rating. It’s seriously so annoying having to restart the app so many times because it’s not loading. **Developer response:** Hi there! So sorry to hear about this issue! Please contact us through the app and we’ll get this problem sorted out asap. We appreciate your understanding and support. ### 2/5 — Not always correct *2017-06-01, version 6.3* Nice for an quick study, but not all of the questions are correct. For example- what is the first thing to do after gastrointestinal sx? Warming or feeding? Their answer was feeding. Shouldn't the patient be warmed asap after having the body cavity opened?? Ex. #2 what is the best way to reduce swelling at the surgical site? Their answer was exercise.... wouldn't that give them a seroma? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I passed the VTNE! *2019-08-14, version 6.7.3* This app was recommended by a friend a week before the test and it made up about 95% of my study material after obtaining it. I felt more comfortable taking the test after having finished studying all questions. Highly recommend! ;) **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave us a kind review!

Out of any other study guides, it was probably the most helpful because it provides pages in McCurnin where they’re getting the info from. It also reminded me to study some things I had forgotten about. Oh and I passed :) Wish they had a $10 refer a friend thing because I’ve definitely steered many people this way! **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave us a kind review!

Several questions I learned were on the test!! ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2018-07-17, version 6.5.4* Very helpful while studying! Love the breakdown of all the categories! ### 5/5 — Easy & knowledgeable App! *2018-07-17, version 6.5.4* Passed my VTNE using this app everyday along with Vet Tech Prep. This app is helpful, easy to use and made studying fun! ### 5/5 — Life saver *2018-04-24, version 6.5.2* This app has really helped me study for my boards. They gave great questions and I feel a lot better prepared for my boards. ### 5/5 — Great study tool *2018-04-10, version 6.5.1* Great study tool ### 5/5 — Love this app *2018-03-26, version 6.5.1* This app is perfect! It really helped me study for the VTNE more than anything else! I would not have been as confident going into the test without this app. I used it every day to study and it’s great if you only have a few minutes too. There are so many questions, you will not get bored. All of the questions are updated to the 2018 test. I passed the test with a great score! I would highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Good study app *2016-08-06, version 6.0.5* Very good study app. for the money. 700 questions with explanations. I just passed the VTNE today and I remembered some of the information from practice questions from this app. For the price I think you can't go wrong. Counts down to test day. Reminds you to study. Also has a feature that lets you build exams by subject. ### 5/5 — Good for many reasons *2016-04-25, version 5.3* This app is very helpful, definitely spend the money and buy the full version, you won't be disappointed. This app supplements other studying techniques and can help you determine what areas you are weak in. Questions asked are relevant and have helped me study for in class exams and of course prep for the VTNE. Hope they come out with a newer version soon! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
