TB treatment labels updated, three reported questions fixed
Fixed- Fixed
Three reported questions repaired: tetanus in pregnancy, screening, type 1 diabetes. more ▾less ▴
Three questions students reported were repaired. A question on protecting a newborn from tetanus had more than one defensible answer and now has one; its explanation also covers the Tdap vaccine in pregnancy. A mental health question now explains that screening is not diagnosing, and a diabetes question now explains why no family history points to type 1. The answers are unchanged.

The pen's Freehand ink keeps up with your pen
Fixed- Fixed
Freehand ink now keeps up with your pen. more ▾less ▴
Writing with the pen's Freehand mode on a question now draws the ink the moment your pen or finger moves, right up to the tip, instead of a step behind it. Slow handwriting no longer trails, a line ends exactly where you lift, and on an answer choice a stylus starts inking after a shorter stroke.

Rewritten questions on the community health nursing process
Fixed- Fixed
Three second answers removed; devolution explanation corrected. more ▾less ▴
Three questions had a second defensible answer and now have one: the purpose of bag technique, which services count as population-based under the Universal Health Care Act, and which step of the process a nurse is in while charting the barangay's figures. An explanation that said barangay health stations were devolved to the barangay now says they went to the cities and municipalities.

Nursing law explanations in plain words
Fixed- Fixed
PRC license question now says the ID card, not the registration, is renewed. more ▾less ▴
A question said a nurse's PRC registration lapses and is renewed. The certificate of registration does not expire; it is the PRC ID card that is renewed, and the explanation now says so.
Rewritten questions on caring for families
Fixed- Fixed
Maternity leave extension notice corrected to 45 days. more ▾less ▴
A maternity leave question said the employer needs 30 days' notice before a mother adds the 30 unpaid days. The law asks for written notice at least 45 days before her leave ends, and the question now teaches that.
Leaderboard podium photo fix
Fixed- Fixed
The 1st-place photo sits evenly inside its gold ring. more ▾less ▴
On narrow phones, the 1st-place photo on the leaderboard now sits evenly inside its gold ring instead of sliding over the ring's right side.

Moving a two-day mock moves both days
Fixed- Fixed
Move either day of a two-day mock and the other day follows. more ▾less ▴
On the Study Plan, moving Day 1 of a two-day mock to a date after its Day 2 used to be refused, and the mock went straight back to where it was. Now the other day moves with it and keeps the same gap, so Day 1 always comes first; the message after the move tells you where both days went, and Undo puts both back. If a change ever cannot be saved, the reason now shows at the bottom of the screen where you can see it. From a student who could not move a mock off a day with review classes.

The PDF button fits on small phones
Fixed- Fixed
The PDF button on cram sheets is no longer cut off on small phones. more ▾less ▴
On small phones, the PDF button at the top of a cram sheet could be cut off at the right edge when the sheet also showed the button for your earlier marks. The top bar now makes room, so every button fits.

Your score stays on screen after you submit
Fixed- Fixed
Your score and answer review no longer disappear after you submit. more ▾less ▴
After you submitted a set, the page could reload on its own a moment later and show "No questions here yet" in place of your score and explanations. Your answers were always saved. Your score and the full answer review now stay on screen.
Your study plan counts a finished set right away
Fixed- Fixed
Plan tasks tick off as soon as you answer the last question. more ▾less ▴
A practice set opened from your study plan now ticks off its plan task as soon as you answer the last question. Before, the tick waited for the summary screen after you tapped Finish, so leaving early, or a page that did not load, left the task showing as not done even though every answer was saved. A set you pick back up later from History also counts toward its plan task now.
Fixes from your reports, and flashcards that match their questions
Fixed- Fixed
Four questions rechecked against the textbooks and corrected. more ▾less ▴
Three questions you reported, and one more found while we checked, were rechecked against the main nursing textbooks and review-centre materials and rewritten where the wording or a choice was off, including a pulmonary embolism question and a streptokinase question whose wording did not match what Saunders teaches. The answers are unchanged.
- Fixed
Ready-made flashcards now match the question they are offered with. more ▾less ▴
When you make a flashcard from a question you answered, the ready-made card offered with it now matches that question. 383 ready-made cards had drifted away from questions that were rewritten earlier: 221 now sit with the question they teach, and 162 that fit no question were taken off. The 326 questions this left without a ready-made card now each offer a new one written for that question and checked by a second reviewer.

Clearer error messages, and signing out only this device
Fixed- Fixed
Clearer messages when an answer fails to save or an email isn't confirmed. more ▾less ▴
If an answer cannot save because your internet dropped, Practice now says so, keeps your choice, and asks you to check your signal or Wi-Fi before tapping Try again. On the log-in page, an email that was never confirmed is now named on screen, with a reminder to use the email you signed up or paid with.

Signing out now only signs out the device you are using. more ▾less ▴
Signing out now signs out only the phone, tablet or computer you are using. Before, signing out on one device also signed you out everywhere else.

A guide to PNLE review apps
Fixed- Fixed
The review-app pages now match each app's own site as of today. more ▾less ▴
Re-checked every other app's details on both review-app pages against their own websites and store listings: NLE.ph's question count, Tangerine Prep's mock boards, plans and Android app, and a few lines for BrainEd, NursePass and Pasado now match what those sites say today.
Readable sticky notes in Dark mode, and PDFs with your marks
Fixed- Fixed
Sticky notes are readable again in Dark mode. more ▾less ▴
In Dark mode, the writing box inside a sticky note stayed light grey while your text turned light, so notes were very hard to read. The box now turns dark with the rest of the app. The same fix reached the note that shows our replies when you sign in, which had the same problem.
