Is good even though in high school
11/07/2023

I can find topics that are very simple if not identical to my high school classes. While this is great and all I don’t really enjoy is the buy options. I would appreciate if there were adds instead but less hidden features. Other then my non important complaints this app seems to be good so far and I have already learned a bit about biology. Recommend.

Just use quizlet

I’m an accounting major, and I love the fact that they have my exact book and can take questions and definitions out for me, but I feel like it’s just taking what quizlet does and just does the writing down part for you, which in my opinion is the best part because writing is the first step to remembering. And the questions are the same questions they ask in the book just without the information listed right under it. It is nice how they made it in sync with the books, but very limited selection and just not worth it if you want quality material. I suggest making an app that’s specifically for one subject and delve into it and make it actually useful, like duolingo. I started out looking for something that would give me random income statement questions so I could practice filling them out and figuring the accounting equation out, but this doesn’t help at all. Thanks for the try tho! Maybe find your revenue in ads rather than broke college students looking for a good app.

No Math?

Mathematicsplease!
Hey! So, I was struggling with some of my schoolwork specially science and math. I’m in the 9th Grade, just graduated Middle School. When I signed up it seemed nice, beautiful setup. But then it asked what textbooks I would be using. So the first thing that came to mind was my mathematics textbook. When I went to search up the name of my book: “SHSAT: 9th grade mathematics.” It didn’t show anything, this app doesn’t have any math books! What? So I tried to see if I could continue, it won’t let you continue if you haven’t selected at least one textbook. So I went on to search up my Biology textbook. Out of all the textbooks the vast majority were Biology textbooks. But they didn’t have my textbook: “Biology Textbook: Ninth Edition.” So, I couldn’t even see what the app was like! I couldn’t get past the “getting started” stages. I was really looking forward to this app. I couldn’t even get started! Please fix this. Thank you.-A disappointed student-

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. School is hard and we wish Sharpen could be there for you to help on your study journey. Unfortunately, we don't cover high-school materials just yet :/ But we sincerely look forward to being there for you as you crush high-school and move on to college. PS - if you want to see what our app looks like you can select any textbook that looks interesting to you and dive in.

Great app! Needs multitasking support for Ipads

I just tried out this app for my accounting class and so far I love it. Having already done my notes for the chapter I decided to start on, I was interested in seeing how well the app would translate accounting info, and it does a great job. It took all the key words that I had been studying and compiled it nicely in video and summary form. My one big gripe is the lack of multitasking support for ipadsv(Im on a 2021 M1 pro). I would love to be able to have this app take up half my screen😂, but I cant do it YET. Hopefully the support team will take this seriously, because this app is about to help me pass this class!
