CompTIA Security+ Pocket Prep for Negative User Reviews
✓ It’s OKI haven’t tested yet but I have passed Net+, and I’ve used many test prep softwares, so I am familiar with how hard the real test is. Most of these questions seem too easy. I’m using this app to get a good overview and then using ExamCram (highly highly recommend) book and test prep software to really get ready. I’d be very surprised if this app alone got someone to pass. Questions just seem too easy..Version: 6.3.3
✓ A bit frustratedThis review is for both the app and the online version. Overall, I am fine with the set of questions and the answers. This app alone isn’t going to get you to pass the exam, especially if you don’t have plenty of real life experience in the field. I’ve been frustrated with this app and the online version. A while back, I even reached out via the app but no one got back to me. For the online version, over and over, when selecting a subject sometimes I am able to test on all available questions but other times I can only do 62. I know for a fact that 2.0 has 100 questions so where is the 62 coming from? I tried 3.0 this morning and I could only test 50 questions but now I am able to do all 100. I don’t see the logic. For the mobile app - I often use it on metro and I am convinced that the scoring is off at times maybe when signal cuts off and certain answers aren’t registered/ captured? The high score I would get wasn’t indicative of all the questions I was missing..Version: 6.7
✓ Do NOT use this app as a main study engineI am very disappointed with the questions on this app. The 4 star review on this app befuddles me because I truly and objectively think it does not merit such a rating. I would argue that almost 25% of the questions on this app have NOTHING to do with the actual exam. For example, this app asks you all the different classes of fire extinguisher classes (A-K) and asks you all the different steps of the SDLC and what number each step is (that’s not directly tied to IT Security!). I foolishly wasted so much time on this study engine thinking it was legit. It’s absolutely not! If you want real study material and preparation for the exam, spend your money on a book. Buy Darril Gibson or watch professor Messer videos (free). Those sources are excellent study materials. This app deserves to be in the bin. I strongly recommend to not spend the $15 on it as it will be a waste of your money and, more importantly, your time..Version: 6.5.3
✓ A messThis app is a mess. There’s a high probability of the presence of a bug that keeps reverting the system to a free app state there by erasing all study progress without any option of retrieving paid user data. Very disappointing and frustrating as I will always have to start all over from scratch. The developers need to fix this bug as soon as possible. Until then I give it 2 stars..Version: 6.7.6
✓ Not sureNot sure if all the answers are right?.Version: 6.5.6
✓ Closes and freezesApp is a good study tool however it keeps freezing and closing out in the middle of a test. I paid for this app so it’s kinda annoying that it’s acting up :-/.Version: 6.5.4
✓ Why does it forget my progressThis is a problem. Why doesn’t it sync with the progress I made. I have to start over every time I exit app.Version: 6.7.6
✓ Not even close to good prepThe SY0-501 is nothing like these questions. The questions on the exam are scenario driven. Given this data, what’s the best choice, or given this output when and what happened. Pocket prep questions aren’t even close to this. Complete waste of money..Version: 6.5.3
✓ So many mistakes!!!I paid for the premium and regret it so much. I want my money back. Some questions do not even make sense, filled with grammatical errors and there are wrong answers..Version: 6.5.2
✓ Even if you pay for more questions they repeatI paid $15 for the 250 question version, thinking that I would get 250 completely random and different questions. Instead, out of every 10 question test I took maybe 1 or sometimes no questions were new. Didn’t help me study very much..Version: 6.7
✓ Not even close to what’s on the actual examI see a lot of positive reviews about this app but unsure if they’re from users who passed or not. I purchased the ultimate edition and must say I’m disappointed. I took and passed the live exam and used this app maybe once a week. My primary sources were Darril Gibson and Professor Messer. I would Highly encourage anyone to read his book and purchase his premium content. Most of the questions on this app aren’t even covered in the Comptia objectives! The live exam will mostly consist of scenario based questions, not factual based as they are in here. I’ll give them this, this app is good for brute force memorization but again, that’s about it. Lastly, I found that most of the questions and answers were completely irrelevant and not covered In the objectives. It’s more of a nice to know but not necessary. Please don’t waste your money on this! Save yourself some gas money and use the free edition which is useless as well..Version: 6.7
✓ Good but slows down over timeProgram slows down over time even though I paid for Premium. Great tool on the go, I wish it didn't have the built in slowdown as you advance. Very annoying..Version: 6.4
✓ Mostly badThe app has good metrics about what domains you’ve done better/worse on in practice exams. Beyond that it’s not very good. I’m hesitant to use it for prep for these reasons: 1) The “explanations” are lifted from one reference. There is little context and no information about incorrect options. 2) Along the same lines, some questions excerpted from the reference text seem specific to that author’s wording and aren’t validated by other study resources. 3) A few answers are flat-out wrong..Version: 6.4
✓ Don’t waste moneyWho ever wrote the questions has clearly never taken a comptia exam, I even doubt he knows anything about computers. Terrible short questions that don’t match the exam. A large portion of them are horrendously worded, and at least 10 that I have seen had wrong answers. There is at least 10 questions about fire extinguishers, even a question about cooking oil fires, really? Don’t waste money on this trash..Version: 6.7
✓ For beginners ONLYThis app covers definitions of terms. If you already have some knowledge about the vocabulary for security+, it won’t be much help to you. The questions test your understanding of what the terms mean, but not how to apply them. The questions provided are all much simpler than ANY of those in the actual exam. It’s partially my fault for buying the premium version before trying out the 30 questions provided, but the misunderstanding could have easily been avoided had the description provided been accurate. The app is presented as if it’s a way to test your readiness for the exam. It is not. I’m not really sure why there’s a money back guarantee if you fail the certification, because this app can not possibly provide you with the knowledge to pass. It’s got a great user interface and works flawlessly compared to similar apps, but the questions need serious work. In short, DO NOT rely on this app to gauge your knowledge for the certification. Only use it if you’re a total beginner to familiarize yourself with vocabulary. For all others, I recommend Darril Gibson’s GCGA app..Version: 6.7.6
✓ Useless if not purchasing premiumOnly gives you 30 questions for free, you have to pay 20$ to get 350 questions..Version: 6.7.6
✓ Hardly ever worksNot sure if anyone else is having this issue but my app always stalls and quits. I try to go in and answer questions but it never wants to work for me. Great resource just never wants to work..Version: 6.7.3
✓ ConnectivityApp would be five stars but I’m unable to use it places I don’t get cell service. I really don’t understand why it doesn’t have an offline mode where I can just do basic things like review questions. Also when I do have service loading times seem unusually long..Version: 6.5.5
✓ Not enoughThis app has a nice GUI but it is not difficult enough nor does it have sufficient questions and depth to bring you successfully through the exam!.Version: 6.7
✓ Can’t reset my passwordI paid for the full version. I’ve tried to reset my password multiple times and I have never received an email. I’ve checked my spam and nothing..Version: 6.7.3
✓ Go buy other app! Waste of money! Irrelevant Questions!Do not waste your money for this app. Old and useless questions, overpriced. For this price you can buy 3 Darryl Gibson app which is way better than this! In addition after you purchase, there is no way they will return your money back, do not make my mistake that I maid. No customer support at all, do not reply to your requests!.Version: 6.7
✓ Great app not so sure about the contentApp is great but I believe the content is not exactly what you need to know, however is a great app and the idea of refreshing the knowledge on your mobile is very convenient!.Version: 6.5.3
✓ Good for on the go studying...But if your studying the CompTIA security + 501 by Darril Gibson, it seems as though half the material in these questions are NOWHERE to be found in Gibson’s book. Nor did I hear or see it on professor messers videos. This app literally only shows sources from one book so It’s difficult to even study..Version: 6.5.1
✓ Pretty good prep for Sec+I write questions for the SEC+, CEH, CISSP, CASP, CCFP, CCNA and some others so I know good questions when I see them. It’s also easy to see that questions are recycled from other exams, which isn’t a bad problem but it distracts from what is actually on the Sec+ exam. Some of the questions’ answers are incorrect but for the most part, they’re on target. They’re well-written and we’ll-composes questions with minimal errors in grammar and punctuation. The questions are simplistic and explanations don’t go into much detail. No big deal there. The app and web portal interfaces are pleasant and nicely-presented. Overall, they have a good system of app, web portal, questions and exam setup process so I’m satisfied with my purchase of ultimate version. **** Update after Exam: Failed the exam by 3 points after repeated study of the 500 Sec+ Questions. They don’t seem to honor their money back guarantee because they don’t respond to their support email..Version: 6.7
✓ Not worth the moneyI regret purchasing the premium version after having answered all the free questions. Far too often the questions are vague and multiple answers can be correct. Most of the questions on the actual CompTIA exam provide more details and fewer choices that are red herrings. I was really hoping this mobile app would help me pass, but it often left me frustrated..Version: 13.10.0
✓ Navigation is weak.Needs a few more buttons to move around. Not have buttons that move around. Consistent navigation set would really help this app. The question pool, I’m not overly impressed so far. Need better wording. Additionally the answer explanation could stand to be more detailed..Version: 6.7
✓ Constant crashThis app crashes on a regular basis. It resets my progress and asks me to make an account. After the third time I obliged thinking that it was going to save my progress. Nope! My flagged questions...gone, my test histories... gone. I spent $15 for an app that crashes and can’t provide me with what it advertises. So frustrating..Version: 6.5.4
✓ Do not make in app purchaseFor one, they won’t refund your money. Additionally, this app and the “500” questions are largely useless. The questions are poorly written by someone who obviously had a very surface level comprehension of cyber security. I have helped developed the cyber curriculum for the US Military and also have a degree in cyber operations. This app will not assist you in the exam. To the developer: your “tireless hours” working on these questions were worthless. Fire whoever wrote them. Some of them are actually not just poorly written, but wrong..Version: 6.5.6
✓ Should be used as a supplement ONLY!The easy to use interface and convenience of the app is what attracted me to buy the full version. However, after taking the security+ test today, I quickly realized that none of the questions on the actual test are setup like the questions in the app. They are all scenario based and a couple performance based. So do not solely rely on this app as it does not prep you for the 90% scenario based questions on the actual test. I would suggest doing it old school and cracking open one of the security+ books..Version: 6.5.6
✓ Content not relatedCompletely different content from what’s in all of the other UK study material I’ve read, not useful..Version: 6.7.6
✓ Phhhh......ripQuestions dont appear to relate to the uk exam...wasn't clear at all on purchase.......avoid.Version: 6.3
