I left this response on the FAR forum, but realized others might be interested in my android app “review”

I haven’t used the ipad version, but I have used the Wiley Test bank android app. So, I don’t know if these comments will carry over to the ipad version or not?

I bought it for my phone (Galaxy Nexus) and it DIDN’T work. I remembered that my husband has an Android Xoom, so I downloaded it on there and it worked fine. I have since bought the Google Nexus 7 and it works fine on this device as well.

I have the DVD that Yaeger gave me with their course. The app looks to have the same # of questions, but no SIMs. The main difference is the interface. You can still do study or test mode. You can choose one topic or all topics (but not several topics). It does NOT keep statistics for you. Also you can only choose the number of questions in 5, 25 & 50 question increments. Overall the questions and answer explanations are the same. The portability is important for me, so I didn’t care if it kept track of my pass rates. I generally just sit there with the tablet and a notepad. For each question (even if I got it right) I write down at least one concept.

My husband has a job in technology, so buying devices is kind of required for him. That being said, I ordered the Nexus 7 just for myself. I found that sitting at my desk all day (I have a desktop at home) was killing my desire to study. Now I can just grab the tablet and go on the back patio or to a coffee shop (away from tempting distractions.) I didn’t really want to invest in a laptop, so buying the Nexus 7 ($200), seemed like a good choice. It fits in my purse, so studying anywhere is easy. I liked that I don’t have to “power up” a laptop. The app is $60 for each section on the android market. When you buy a nexus 7, Google gives you $25 for the play store.

I have the ipad app and love it for all the reasons you mentioned. I can go sit anywhere and do questions and not feel chained to my desk. I do have a laptop and the online version of the testbank but the ipad is much more portable
