The Problem

CPA candidates pay heavily for exam preparation but repeatedly lose study time when lectures cannot be downloaded, practice tests fail to submit, progress disappears, or mobile features lag behind desktop courses. The underlying job is not simply consuming course content; it is completing short, targeted study sessions, resuming exactly where they stopped, and retaining an accurate record of weak areas across changing exam material.

Potential Solution

Build an offline-first CPA practice companion with licensed questions and concise lessons organized around the official exam blueprint. Every session, answer, note, and media asset is stored locally before synchronization, allowing candidates to resume interrupted tests, review weak topics, and see which material changed after a blueprint update. Start with one CPA exam section and a tightly curated question bank rather than attempting to replace full review courses.

Why Now?

Reviews from 2021 through 2025 show persistent failures in offline access, progress retention, practice-test completion, and content-transition guidance despite premium course prices. Frequent exam-content changes also increase the value of explicit change summaries and dependable incremental updates.

Becker's CPA Exam Review

I just wish there was an option where you didn't have to be online. There are times when people just are not around the internet and still want to study

Drone Part 107 Prep 2026

Great app for Part 107 prep. The ACS-based study is really helpful—it makes it easy to focus on specific knowledge areas instead of guessing what to study. The question bank feels up-to-date, and the full mock exams are very close to the real test format. The UI is clean and easy to navigate, and I like that it works offline.

Pocket Prep Professional 2026

Helped me pass my exam on first try. Pocket Prep helped as an additional resource when studying for my SHRM-CP exam. I enjoyed the missed questions and weakest subject sections. The ability to see alternative questions from my Online SHRM resources helped with a great variety of questions. This is the perfect resource when traveling or on lunch break. I would highly recommend to anyone preparing for their exam.
