I was looking on Amazon and ran across Wiley Focus Notes. Does anyone have these and if so, are they worth it?

I have 2 of the Wiley iPhone Apps and they are called “Focus Notes”. I bet the Apps are probably similar in content to what you saw on Amazon.

On the App, the information is broken into the topics and presented in summary like flashcards. This worked well for on-the-go studying. I liked FAR because it included journal entries. The AUD App was good to help get the big picture since it's really easy to get lost in all the detail of audit. The material is kind of like a cram.

Would I recommend it? Depends on how you study, your time, your budget, and what materials you already have. The Apps were $34 each and I thought that was a lot of money for them since I never went through the whole set of cards. Thankfully, I got one of them for free.
