Pros and cons of CompTIA Security+ SY0-501 Prep app for iPhone and iPad

CompTIA Security+ SY0-501 Prep app good for

It is a good app to practice for Security Exam. Please implement more sections and add more Moc test. Anyway App well done!
Being able to use this in addition to study material was clutch! Perfect for study on the go.
I used this app along with Professor Messor videos and passed. These test questions are not the same as far as the exam but what really helped were the explanations. This app helped me learn because its was always available even without Internet connection. Not bad price in comparison to what the certification means for your paycheck.
This is a great study tool. I use it every single day, but a section totally dedicated to ports would be a fantastic and welcomed addition to this app and would bump my rating up to 5 stars. Despite that, its must have app if youre studying for the Security+ exam. Highly recommended.
This is one the best study supplement tool for security+ but do not solely rely on this. Watch the videos by professor Mike Chapple on lynda.com and then come use this app and see how much you learnt. If you do that you will definitely passed but you need to take note and make sure you understand how everything works. Memorization wont help you pass the exam but practice and understanding will do! Thanks the developer of this app!! You are AWESOME!
This app is #baller. Purchase this shiz if you want to take advantage of on-the-go learning. Darril is an OG. Buy his books too!

Some bad moments

It is categorized really good and has perfect questions and really gets you ready for the real test and explains to you why you missed it its a great review!
This app is well designed. Any time Im standing in line or have a free couple of minutes I can get some quick studying in. For the week before the test I opened this app instead of FB or a game whenever I had free time on my phone. I passed 865/900.
I was lucky to be in an MCSE course that Darril taught at ECPI years ago. When I saw he had this app, I downloaded and used it to get ready for the Sec+ exam. Scored 835! Excellent app, make sure you read the explanations for the answers, very helpful!
have use this in combination with the number of books I find it a great condensed resource especially for the flashcards and acronym definitions. Definitely the tests are useful and explained for incorrect answers. You cant go wrong spending the money to buy this!
Used many other sources. With this and other simulations and I passed with a 787! Heck yes! The $8-$10 I spent to use this app was certainly worth it! :)
This app is useful for studying after work and during moments of downtime. So far so good.
