Modern States 4+

I had no problems logging in and playing videos, but the app does not fill the screen of my iPad mini. The app’s contents appear the size of a small phone screen in the middle of my iPad, and full screen mode on videos does not expand them to the right fit. It also does not have not the most user friendly navigation system to move between lessons. Overall it’s an unfinished app that works, but needs a lot of polishing.

Take a look at the last time they updated this app - YEARS ago. And that was a forced update by Apple. It has been 7 years since they’ve even touched the app.

This, plus the fact that the most reviews are 1 star, should tell you something: it’s not worth your time. Even if you can get past logging in, none of the content loads. Trying to open videos result in the app crashing, and everything else “loads” forever.

I’m convinced that the five star reviews are from people that got paid to put it there or people that never even opened the app (or have some kind of device that the app somehow works on still?).

I’m extremely disappointed. The Modern States “Freshman Year for Free” Initiative is a great program and has saved me countless hours of work as well as money. The program itself gets a 5/5. But the fact that they cannot take care of their app (and yet they still advertise it) is so annoying.

And for those of you who read this and download it anyways, I just want to say “I told you so!” Have a good day :)

Love modern states and so grateful for the program! As for the app, I read a couple reviews that said they couldn’t log in, downloaded anyway, when I tried to log in and let Apple passwords preload my log in and password it didn’t work. I deleted my log in name and used my email address instead and it worked perfectly. Happy learning!
