Ratings and reviews

Garbage app. Sync issues, progress gets lost requiring logging out and in a couple of times, randomly changes percentile and average score on practice. Logins also "expire" every 24 hours for reasons beyond understanding pushing you to re-enter email and passwords every 24 hours. It's not an Android app, just an interface of CFAI's website packed as an app. It's a pity CFAI charges hefty fee for their exams and don't want to do one app right.

Not recommended as more convenient through a browser (app/desktop). Why? If I were to read through a FI section and decided to retire for the day, the same section would load directly if accessed through the browser. However, this app would require me to click an obvious button to login, enter my login, password, find and select my current exam window, click the side bar button, select lessons, and then scroll and search for where I left off. You'd also have to repeat this the next day.

It automatically logs out everytime you move the app to background or open another app even for a second. Then logging in again takes around a minute or sometimes screen freezes which can take you a very long time to even login. I can't believe that this app is official CFA app. Please see the reviews and work on it. Because it is close to useless.
