Adapt - Revision & Assessment 4+

I just want to start off by saying that while I didn’t have the opportunity to use this app to its full extent, as it came out a month and a bit prior to lockdown, it’s an incredible app and makes revision and general timetable work easy.

A suggestion that I would make is to make this app more universal. Currently it’s built for GCSE and A Level students, but if you could find a way to incorporate university students too it would make this app significantly better. Perhaps what you could do is make a “custom subject” option that allows you to make a subject that isn’t available from the list. You could allow the user to input exam dates and the specification for their custom subjects so that the app can still make them a working revision plan. If you do make this then this app would get a solid 5 star from me!

I don't usually write reviews but I have been testing out this app for about a week now, and as someone who is very unorganised (particularly with revision!), I find this app really helpful in sorting what I need to revise and it has allowed me to stick to a schedule. I also find it much more useful than creating a revision timetable on paper, as I can check off things I need to revise and have already revised. There are a lot of good features to this app, like adding a timetable, tasks, tests and more. I really like the fact that I can separate the exam boards for each subject, and can choose the modules in subjects where we only study certain ones rather than the full course. Overall, I'm very grateful for this app, I have been waiting for it ever since I began seeing advertisements teasing it, and so far I really see the benefits! I think for GCSE and A-Level students, this is a truly useful tool you should download.

The app works well and it is useful to see when you will finish the course. I also like that there is a lot of customisation options. However, I think an improvement would be changing the order in which topics are suggested (or adding more customisation options to do so)

For example, I am doing A level Chemistry and the app suggests that I go through all the physical topics, then all of the inorganic topics and then finally organics. It would make more sense to do a mix, eg. one topic from physical followed by one from inorganic and then organic (as you would at school).

I know that you can add your own tasks from the courses or create your own, I just think the app could be a little more intuitive as this would help save students’ time, as I still have to create my own plan because of this. Even if it was just a customisation option (for the app to suggest a mix of topics) that would be helpful.
