AndyRDH Board Review for NBDHE
reviews and complaints

This app is really great to review for boards! I love having it on my phone because I have it everywhere I go! I really like how It has different mock boards and how it separates into different subjects as well! The prefixes and suffixes section has been very helpful to me also. What I would like to see on an updated version are more mock boards/questions and more X-rays! I am very happy with this app and can't wait to see new things come to it!

Despite many of the other poor reviews, I used this app for about 2 full months everyday over and over and over and I have to admit I never pay for apps but I'm glad I did. I took the boards in June and MANY of the board questions were ones that were in Andy's app and those which I would not have known had I not used the review app. It was truly a life saver... Sure the app had a few glitches here and there but over all the $9.99 was worth it considering it tremendously helped me pass a test worth so much!

I purchased this app 2 months prior to taking my NBDHE, and it was extremely helpful! The questions cover a variety of topics, there are 4 mock boards to take, but the best part is that there is no need for books!

This app really does contain comprehensive information needed to pass the NBDHE. I walked into the exam feeling prepared and confident. I can't thank Andy enough for creating this app, and helping me pass the exam on the first try!

Purchase this app - you won't be disappointed! Good luck!

I have heard of the app so I paid the $14.99 to download it. My school isn’t listed when I went to register so I had to just choose one and then I never even received the verification email so I could start using the app to study. There is no way to contact the app support or app developer for assistance. I am requesting a refund through this review. Please give me my money back because this app is no good. I should’ve listened to the reviews I read resulting in this app having 2.6 star rating out of 5. I repeat: do not purchase this app.

This app is a great way to jump start review, get in a few quick quizzes or to just go over topics that you are weak in. There are a couple of glitches with some of the explanations (sometimes they refer to other questions in the same topic) but the answer key has been correct.

All in all a great app for the price and I'll be able to take this review with me to work, etc instead of a stack of flashcards, books, and notes.

Hoping that you'll be able to expand this app soon. Looking at the x rays and case like questions are more realistic than studying from a book since it is a computer based exam.

Downloaded this app for $14.99 which is REALLY expensive for an app. Read some of the reviews and still took a chance to purchase it. To access the app, you have to verify your email address, but haven’t received a verification email at all. I’VE TRIED 5 DIFFERENT EMAILS. Waited 3 hours now, no verification email to ANY of them. Checked junk folders and everything. Waste of my money. Listen to the bad reviews and do NOT purchase this app. They clearly need to fix the issues that they’re having with this. Can’t even review the material they provide because I can’t even access it! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!

This app is the biggest headache. Don’t do it. I’ve never downloaded an app that glitches this horribly. Andy needs to completely redo it because the last thing stressed hygiene students need while preparing for boards is an unreliable app service! Beyond disappointed I didn’t heed the other reviews and gave it a shot. Seriously, do not drive yourself crazy trying to get this app to work like I did! Response to theirs: No one ever said anything to me about internet connectivity so I don’t know why they responded with that. What a horrible way to respond to frustrated and stressed customers when your product doesn’t work for them.

This app helps studying for boards. However, there are sssoooooooooooo many errors that it is frustrating and unbelievable that such a caring and thoughtful man such as Andy would not fix this and help out his future dental hygienists! If Mr. RDH is who he says he is, than this would have been fixed by now. Total at the end of tests say 0 (mega frustration).. All radiograph images are the same (pointless test)... Wrong answers... Excessive typos... Jumble questions (where they dont even make sense) and many many more. I would not recommend this to anyone if there were other apps out there for board review. I've only found 3 and this is one of the better ones unfortunately. Please please please fix in the next week so I can study! Thanks.

I just purchased this app today and was very excited to get started using it. But after only going through 2 subjects (anatomy and radiology) I found several problems. Several of the radiology questions are paired with the wrong image...the question asks you to identify what the arrows are pointing to but there are no arrows or what landmark is labeled "C" and the image only has numbers. And there are some contradictory rationales on the anatomy questions. I took screen shots of my phone in hopes of uploading the pictures but I can't. But one question asked which muscle protrudes the mandible and the answer is lateral pterygoid and medial pterygoid is incorrect but another question asks the function of the medial pterygoid and the answer is protrude the mandible. I plan to keep trying the other subjects but hopefully these "bugs" get fixed!

I bought this app for on the go studying, via my iPad and iPhone, so I wouldn't have to lug around my review books everywhere I went. I found this app extremely helpful with the "mock boards" they able you to do question after question just like the real board does. I also liked the fact that it gives you a score, and then rounds it how the board does so you can see how on track you are with passing. I enjoyed the fact that it saved your boards so you could return to them later if you didn't finish. It also allows you to mark questions for review, so you can come back to the questions you may need to study up on a bit more. I also really enjoyed the radiology review portion because it was much like the real board in what the questions could be. Overall I highly recommend this app, and would buy it all over again. And yes I passed my national board!

This ap is just okay. It has a few good questions that I hadn't encountered elsewhere but that's about it. It asks the same questions OVER and OVER to the point where you're simply memorizing the answers and not leading the material. Several questions are confusing due to grammatical and spelling errors. Some of the answers are also confusing because it will say you got it wrong but give you a positive "ding" and list your answer as the correct one. I consider this a waste of $10 that could have been better spent elsewhere. I've never understood what is so difficult about proof reading your material, especially when making such a profit. It reminds me a lot of the text books I've purchased throughout DH school. Another thing I would like to mention is that this is not an adequate representation of the board and will likely give you false hope. 14 questions on perio, primarily concerning mouthwash? I highly doubt that is the case. In conclusion, if you haven't studied much for the board this may be a good ap for you. If you know your stuff decently well then I wouldn't waste the time or money. Hope this helps!

Before I had downloaded this app, I had heard so many good things - that people would be able to only study this material and be able to pass boards. So I downloaded the app and set up my profile. This is when issues started. Before I was able to log in, I needed to verify my account through the email I provided. Never received it. Finally had to reach out to support. Was finally able to use the app for a full day. Only one. Then the entire app crashed and no one was able to log in. Everyone I know who has the app wasn’t able to use it. We contacted support and they said it was just a bug and they were fixing it. “Should be done by tomorrow.” Tomorrow came around and it was still broken. Contacted again. “Will hopefully be done today.” Still waiting on it to be fixed. Regarding the materials in the app itself, it is fair. Lots of test questions from various subjects. The rationale behind why your selected answer is right or wrong is subpar - some will explain why and others won’t. Overall, the materials in the app is fine, but that’s only when the app itself actually works...might be better off studying other materials and apps if I’m being honest.

I like this app a lot, but PLEASE give better rationales! If I get an answer wrong and the rationale basically says “this is not the right answer” that is not a good rationale. I wish it would explain it better. please fix this for future users since we are paying 15 dollars for this.
example question:

Question : Teeth in snowcapped amelogenesis imperfecta have:

Option 1 : A thin, brown enamel
Description : Incorrect - This is not characteristic of teeth in snowcapped amelogenesis imperfecta. Let's try a new question.

Option 2 : Obliterated pulp chambers
Description : Incorrect - This is not characteristic of teeth in snowcapped amelogenesis imperfecta. Let's try a new question.

Option 3 : Short, blunted roots
Description : Incorrect - This is not characteristic of teeth in snowcapped amelogenesis imperfecta. Let's try a new question.

Option 4 : White hypocalcified enamel at the incisal and occlusal thirds
Description : Correct! Teeth in snowcapped amelogenesis imperfecta are characterized by a hypomaturation of the surface enamel of the occlusal third of all the teeth of both dentitions. Great job!

OBVIOUSLY if it says incorrect then i know that is not a characteristic so please explain what IS associated with obliterated pulp chambers.

This app is not what I expected to actually have to pay for something that barely works...I should be able to go to every subject and every mock board but it only lets me do a few subjects and only 1 mock board. The app was definitely not worth paying for! I’ll stick to Student RDH where I’m getting my money’s worth!

I was very excited to use this app because I had heard many good things about it. Unfortunately, I was overwhelmed by all the incorrect answers! AndyRDH needs to fix this app immediately! I was also surprised by the lack of information on this $10 app. There should have been a lot more questions, it only took me one day to get through the tests.

When I first got this app it worked well with really no problems. Now it hasn’t worked for the past week. I take my boards in 5 days and this app is basically worthless now since it won’t load anything. It just keeps saying “something went wrong try again”. I guess when it works it’s a good app. But no good to me now. Thankfully it wasn’t nearly as expensive as others but still.

Downloaded the app in hopes of studying. I was never able to gain access to the material. It won’t even let me log in.

DO NOT PURCHASE!

Straight up doesn’t work on iPad or iPhone. Been trying for days but I just keep getting an error message. When I try to contact the App support, it just leads to nothing. What a waste.

Needs updated questions got a question wrong bc it says you need premed for artificial joint which is FALSE. You used to but you don’t have to now . This is also specified on the ADA website

I wish I could give this 0 stars. This app is a scam. I paid my $15 and made an account. NEVER received a verification email. I made 3 accounts with 3 different emails. Never got the verification so I can not access any account. Wasted $15. Do not purchase this app.

Content was ok but definitely outdated. Used the app for a few hours and had no issues initially. Now the app won’t show any content and gives me a “something wrong try again” message or tells me my login information is incorrect. Do not buy this app! Waste of money!

I created an account and then it wouldn’t let me log in because I had to confirm my email with an email they were supposed to send me. I checked my email, including the junk mail and I resent it and kept messing with it and it won’t work. I don’t know how to get a refund but I’d like one since I’m not even able to get into the app passed the log in!

This app is awful! DO NOT BUY IT! The rationales are terrible, it will just say “that’s not the answer or this is the answer” many of the questions are wrong. The app hasn’t been updated in about 3 years so the questions are old. I contacted Andy to tel him and he said they try to update it but clearly they don’t based on how many answers are wrong. 10 days before my exam and the app crashed so DONT get it
