I like it! I have heard others say nothing but good things about it.

I loved this app and recommend it to anybody who asks. I used it my final year of nursing school in preparation for NCLEX. I thought it was extremely convenient for practicing questions "on the go" when I only had a couple minutes here and there. The tech help was also wonderful. They answered emails and solved my issues very quickly.
Although NCLEX Mastery was not my only resource for NCLEX preparation, it was one of my main resources, and I passed NCLEX my first try in 75 questions.

I've been using it right through school and highly recommend it!
It helps with tests and ATI, if your school uses it.

I really liked it. I recommend it! I used it through my last year in nursing school and while studying for the NCLEX. I would do on it when I was in line or waiting for anything, I would do questions. I would screenshot the one I got wrong and studied afterwards.

I have been using the PN version over the past couple of weeks and I am fairly sure it is similar to the RN version. I have really liked the app so far and completed almost 75% of the questions so far. I am taking my NCLEX PN at the end of this month and between using the NCLEX mastery app, Kaplan and some review books I believe I should be well prepared.

Yep, totally worth it! Helped me this past semester to study for tests and to expand my knowledge in general.

I started using NCLEX Mastery in my final semester of nursing school.
Minority opinion here:
Now that I've taken NCLEX (and passed in 75 questions the first time) I can say NCLEX Mastery is more useful for school exam prep than NCLEX prep. The app's questions, in my experience, are way more fact/knowledge-based than application of critical thinking which is what you'll encounter on actual NCLEX.
Honestly, I think convenience is the biggest appeal of NCLEX Mastery--it's on your phone, so you ought to be able the study for the test anywhere. Again, I didn't think the app's questions were terribly similar to what appeared on NCLEX. They weren't bad for straight-up content review by any means.
I took the live Hurst review the summer before my final semester in nursing school as my main NCLEX prep. It helped me with school and with boards! I still maintain that doing well in a nursing program with a >90% NCLEX pass-rate is the key to NCLEX success, though.
