Ratings and Reviews
Okay, but not much value added compared to Imray
I already owned the Imray app that goes over the same material. I bought this one mostly for the multiple choice quiz that it has. This function was nice to have, but it would have been better if there'd been some analysis of your results and if the quiz had covered a bit more material (sounds, for instance). I would also preferred if the quiz had been broken down into section (night lights, day shapes, etc). For revising, I prefer the Imray app--it just seemed a bit cleaner and easier to negotiate. This is only a couple quid, though, and it was nice to have the quiz, even with its limited functionality.
Shocking
Absolute waste of money! Thought it was worth a go but it’s poorly made and definitely not optimised for I'd. Tests are ok but these are the same as the free online ones available. I read the bad reviews and still purchased the app... Don't make the same mistake
Not good
I initially had high hopes for these 3 apps however there are quite a few completely wrong answers in the tests and the tests themselves are repetitive. Once you've done them once you get the same questions again.
So, disappointing for the money.
