Great

I really like this app. All the convenience of the computer website on your phone. I did initially give this 3 stars (my original review is below) but just a couple days after leaving that review I got an email saying they updated their app which fixed the problem and gave other improvements! 10/10

Original review: Overall the app does exactly what it’s meant to, but just recently it stopped saving my answers, so I have to log in a computer and re-record my answers. Updating and reinstalling hasn’t helped. 5 stars if it weren’t for this bug

Thanks for letting us know. We just released an updated version of the app, so we encourage you to install it and let us know what you think! Thanks again!

Test Review

The biggest thing that drives me nuts is when I go to review a test and it starts from the end instead of question one. If I’m doing it wrong, let me know! Also, there’s too many abbreviations in descriptions. You first have to write the word out and use parenthesis with the abbreviation the first time you use it and then throughout the same paragraph you can just use the abbreviation; that’s the proper grammatical way to use abbreviations. I find myself trying to decipher things because it’s not always written out first…”STL”…what’s that? St. Louis? No. Eventually, you figure it out, but that’s not something you should have to problem solve when you’re reading explanations. Otherwise, I really enjoy the program.

Frustratingly unreliable

Paid for a one month subscription to try out your service before my end of year exam. Not only does your service go down the day before my final and I can’t log into my account, but it goes down in the middle of a practice test.

On top of that the error I get says “We can’t connect to your device right now, please try again” so I tried for over an hour to get it working again thinking that it was an error on my part. My computer or wifi or something. What it should have said was “Our service is down right now, please try again later” Or it should just be much more reliable. This is after having several issues staying connected during practice tests as well.

Not only am I mad that I wasted my money on a month subscription but I will definitely not be renewing and will be advising all that I can to stay away.
