I’ve been using this app for a while now and I love it. Unfortunately the subscription fee is a bit too much for me but for now, using the daily questions has work. My only issue with this app is that when I use it in the iPad, I often run into a problem where the question is shown but the answers are not. It stays blank for a while and even when resetting the app, the questions still don’t show up. It’s great on iPhone, haven’t had any issues with it there. Must be a software issue.

I studied for my CST certification exam using this app every day for a month straight and I honestly think this was a huge part of why I passed!! The app is incredibly user friendly and the questions are relevant to the actual questions that are on the exam, and covered every topic that could possibly be on the exam as well! It’s affordable compared to some other apps and resources out there for CST certification exam prep, and well worth the price. Very thorough app, highly recommend as a tool to help you study for the national certification exam!

I bought this app 2 weeks ago. I have all the materials I need for my CST examination and looked over multiple apps for another tool that I can use on the go. I chose this app over the AST because it allows me to read up and refresh all categories before testing my knowledge on the material. I truly love this app and I’m slowly making progress as I will be going in for my certification exam on May 9th. My instructor was very stern with me as well making sure I’m studying from the AST standards and she approved of this app and it’s material. I rated this 4 stars because of the typos that I’ve found in the material. Thankyou for this app and hopefully it pulls through for me 😀
Developer Response
Thanks so much for your review! We would love to address the typographical errors, so if you see any please reach out to us and let us know! You can do so from within the questions. Thanks again!
I would give it 6 stars if I could

I just rested after many years. I bought the book first but it was kinda overwhelming and a lot to carry around. This was always with me since I always had my phone. The app breaks everything down into categories - lets you rate if you knew the question or not - It gives you every rationale behind the answers - gives definitions for each answer - you can go back and revisit items you need to review. This app is great! I felt very prepared and passed with flying colors. 👍🏼
