LCSW Pocket Prep for Negative User Reviews

✓ Helpful then unhelpfulI’ve had this app for several months and I purchased one of the upgrades to receive more questions and overall very helpful but at times the questions repeat. Ads will pop up convincing you to purchase an upgrade., a bit intrusive because the ads will either praise your progress or motivate you to keep studying by buying more questions. Now the app is giving me problems of not fully opening or not allowing me to see my question of the day rating/progress. If you purchase this app it will be helpful I just hope it doesn’t corrupt on you like it recently has on me. Also, I couldn’t figure out how to regain my password so It had me start all over without being able to retrieve what I had purchased!! Good luck.BrwnwloxsVersion: 6.7.1

✓ Accurate?I truly hope these questions do not mimic those on the actual exam. Extremely wordy, and a great deal of the answers I can prove wrong with research and evidenced based practice teachings that have been proven. I have not taken the actual exam so maybe the two stars is harsh, but I’m in a study program now that has a 95% passage rate the first time around and this is just making me second guess myself to be honest. If I can prove “correct” answers wrong, it does not appear to be accurate to the exam. And if this is indeed how the exam questions an individuals ability to become licensed, that’s a joke for the entire social work community..MeganflVersion: 6.5.1

✓ Helpful but produced anxiety.I passed my exam! I used this app along with other materials. The questions on the app are very though provoking however, can be a bit confusing and wordy. ( The exam is to the point with the STEM) I do think learning from the reasonings to answers was helpful for learning. But it the scores made me nervous. I averaged 68% on my pocket prep exams. On the aswb exam I got 104 questions correct..Madisonave22Version: 6.3.2

✓ Too many repeat questionsThe content is fair/good. Hardly any of the specific recall items are relevant to the actual exam, but the scenarios, though not exactly written like the exam, help to get you get in the habit of critically analyzing the questions. However, I purchased access to 450 questions and there were so many repeats on the quizzes that I estimate that I only had access to about 200 original questions maximum. Very frustrating and not helpful when you start to memorize the answers after seeing the question 5 or more times. Can’t say that paying for more access was helpful at all..DjarlinVersion: 6.7.6

✓ More difficult than the actual exam.I bought the premium version of this app to help practice along with a study guide book I got online. The questions on this app were much more difficult/wordy than the actual exam and did not help at all to prepare for the first/best/next questions. It really decreased my confidence in taking the test. I would highly recommended just getting an exam prep book instead!!.Elliemay51993Version: 6.5.6

✓ Good Content but Full of GlitchesI purchased premium, made an account, and have been logged out and my progress erased three times now with over 160 questions answered. Unacceptable if paying for an app! Wish I could rate it higher because I love it otherwise, but very frustrating needing to start over just as you get into the swing of things and tracking progress!.Dke:45Version: 6.7.3

✓ Super GlitchyCurrently studying for my licensure exam and do enjoy using the app, it’s helpful while I’m commuting, in between clients or want to take a break from reading. It’s a bummer that the app is super glitchy. I’m frequently logged out, get a message saying that it can’t find questions and it’s just slow. That being said, when I messaged for help I was answered quickly and I enjoy the content. I would have given 3 stars, but I paid for this app so I feel it should run more smoothly..DeanaBurritoVersion: 6.6

✓ Y Theory QuestionMcGregor is mentioned as an answer to the Y theory... When you get a question wrong, it takes you to the page in which the answer is mentioned so one can study and understand deeper the question and the answer. There is no mention of McGregor or the Y theory on the pages 274 to 275. When I go to the index, there is no mention of McGregor or Y theory. i'm trying to pass this test and your information is incorrect. Please update..Dr. AarianVersion: 13.9.1

✓ Needs a lot of bug fixes.Absolutely love the app, I used it to study and then pass my LMSW exam. However, I don’t remember as many glitches within the app. For instance the app often freezes and then crashes, takes a while to load, resets my account and progress, and does not offer “unlimited” questions of the day as advertised. In fact, it will tell me I have taken my QOTD already but in my QOTD history it will show that none were taken. Otherwise I love the content of the questions and the pass guarantee; however I am worried I will never be able to complete the 1,001 questions because the app resets my progress..Brii_babieeVersion: 6.7.1

✓ Fix the crashesThe app itself is great. I have yet to take my test so I’m not sure how helpful it actually was but being able to customize tests for subjects you need to study more on is a great option. However, with the app continually freezing and crashing it makes it near impossible to study with it. I use the actual website when I can but I’d love to be able to use the app to study when I’m on the go without problems. Makes you not want to study which is not a good thing..DeeveezVersion: 6.7.1

✓ Helpful when the app did not crashI recently took my test and passed, using this app alongside other study aids. The practice tests were helpful. Almost none of the material on the the app was on my test. The app crashed several times a week and every 6 weeks I had to delete the app and reload it. While the app was useful to get me prepped for a long test, it was more of a hassle to keep it functional than it was useful..RcmswVersion: 6.5.1

✓ Good for knowledge drillsI have mixed feelings about this app. On the one hand, it is great for identifying weak areas. It’s also great for knowledge based drills. However, this app does nothing to practice exam strategy (which is half the battle for first/next and best/most questions - luckily, you can google some helpful acronyms). Further, the questions in this app are SO MUCH HARDER than the actual exam. If you can survive this app, you can survive the apocalypse. It’s valuable, but I wouldn’t recommend studying with just this app. Either buy the ASWB practice exam, or go to a study workshop (or jack the slides from a coworker who attended a workshop, like I did...).TanzmitpalmerVersion: 6.5.4

✓ MISLEADING. Better off buying the review book...Not the 2017 exam version! I’ve got less than three weeks until my exam and I just saw in settings that the questions are based off the 2018 exam blueprint. This is not helpful to me. It says 2017 in the title, very misleading. Be warned! Total waste of money! I even received an email asking me to change my review from the CEO and he was very rude! They just want your $. In other news, it just asks the same questions over and over again, the same material, and the questions are wordy and different from the actual exam. Pass on this and just buy the review book by Dawn Apgar. Way more help!.WVUDaveVersion: 6.3.2

✓ False AdvertisementThe App has false claims one is that it indicates that once you buy the full program you can customize according to what area you wish to focus on but this is not the case you make the selection of the subject but it still is not tailored to the subject of your choice you wish to focus on unfortunately this is the only reason I bought the full program..Suchaldy526Version: 6.6

✓ Bought upgrade and app did not upgradeIt took 2 days for the app developers to respond to my emails regarding the fact that I had purchased the app upgrades and my account had not been updated with those upgrades. When they finally emailed me back, they did fix it. Don’t be fooled by the “life chat” box. There’s no live chat. They respond a day or 2 later..LCSW RitaVersion: 6.7.3

✓ Please fix my problem!!This app was very useful during my first attempt at taking the actual test. I was off by 2 points... However, since trying to use the app after several months, I have noticed that a few things have changed. There’s duplicate content in the practice slide which is very confusing. Also, I cannot increase the number of questions in the practice section. It stays on 5. This is extremely inconvenient. Please fix these problems..Mister TatemVersion: 6.7.3

✓ Too complicatedThis app made me feel like a failure. I couldnt score over a 67% after 450 questions. The questions are very similar to the actual test but the answers were nothing like it. You will never get an answer more than one line long. And those are few. I passed the test studying from a workshop I took where the professor said “Don’t buy study materials. Use my stuff.” She was right..Kloudy52Version: 6.5.1

✓ Good content. Terrible app.Super frustrated with the app. I paid for the full version but have had so many issues with it. The content is great; however, it logs me out regularly and then takes forever to log back in. It forgets my data frequently. It freezes all the time and it gets so frustrating to the point I end up having to just close the app and don’t get to study. It repeats the question of the day and then sometimes when I’m answering the question of the day the question changes while I’m answering and then I get it wrong because it doesn’t register. I used this app two years ago for my LGSW exam and loved it. Incredibly disappointed that I paid for it a second time for the clinical exam and it doesn’t work most of the time..Xxyyxx123331Version: 6.5.6

✓ Over the topAfter taking and passing my LCSW exam I’m really frustrated by how much time and money I invested in this app. The questions are not representative of the actual exam and didn’t prepare me for the exam. The questions in this app are so overly specific and require a much deeper level of recall information than the actual exam requires. I was getting anywhere from 20-80% on the practice exams (usually on the lower end) in this app and it completely destroyed my confidence. On a colleague’s recommendation I took the actual exam and passed with over 90%. Additionally. The app sometimes freezes (especially on the computer) and can take a while to load the question of the day..IshdjsndVersion: 6.7.3

✓ Good but LOTS technical issuesRewriting the review after changes were made to the app to fix the issues. There are STILL issues. I can’t even use the app anymore, I am now using the desktop version. I no longer get reminders and I have had to delete and download the app multiple times, still continues to log me out. Pros: Shows you areas that you can improve on. Paying for the ultimate version is worth the money. You get reminders everyday and can study anywhere. I love that you can adjust the number of questions and when you want to see the answers (as you go or at the end) you can login on your desktop which is great too Cons: The app is constantly crashing! It’s so frustrating. It logs me out ALL the time and trying to log back in is frustrating and confusing. When I finally do get to log back in, some of my data seems to have been lost and reappears hours later. Sometimes I don’t get to study due to the technical issues with the app. Also, some of the ‘question of the day’ questions are REPEATED. I didn’t pay for the ultimate pass to get the same questions over and over again. Some of the questions are also repeated on the practice exam which is really annoying..Nephy loveVersion: 6.7.6
