1. 5/5Effective Study Tool

   Spent about three months studying for the GRE, and my only materials were this app and The Official Guide to the GRE General Test. Just took the test today, 166 Quantitative, 170 Verbal. The way you can mark things for review later was definitely helpful, and the way they categorized the math questions by subject helped identify broader areas I needed to focus on. One potential suggestion: when I first started studying, I went to All Quantitative Reasoning and it immediately dropped me into the most advanced problems. Defaulting to Algebra or the Mixed Review category would have probably made more sense.

2. 3/5Excessive Glitches Inhibit Learning

   I really want to love this app. In terms of the practice questions and the ease of making studying a daily habit, it’s absolutely wonderful. I find myself reaching for the app frequently, since my phone is always with me and physical GRE prep books are heavy and harder to navigate. Unfortunately, the software glitches in this app make it virtually unusable. As others have mentioned, it frequently loads blank questions, or the question you’re working on randomly disappears — forcing you to reload the screen and lose your progress. Even worse, answer explanations that contain charts or formulae do not render properly. Several times I’ve seen blank charts that go off to the right side of the screen ad infinitum. You can scroll to the right to your heart’s content, but you’ll never actually see the answer explanation that the chart is supposed to contain. An app that costs $15/month should not contain these kinds of bugs — especially a learning app. More than once, these glitches have prevented me from learning from my mistakes and improving. It’s extremely frustrating. This is basic stuff that any app developer team should be able to fix. I’ve tried reporting these bugs, but there’s no option to do that in the app. So I guess all I can do is leave a negative App Store review.

3. 5/5Fantastic Resource to Take Your Prep on the Go

   Of note, it should be made clearer upfront that the questions are the same as those offered in the '5lb' book. It would also be great to be able to access the advanced vocabulary here in addition to the 'essential' 500. Parts of speech should also be listed on the front of the vocab 'flashcards'. Otherwise, no complaints!

4. 3/5Didn’t really help boost my scores...

   The app is very well done, but I feel like the study materials were definitely lacking. I was getting consistent right answers on the questions and doing them fast by the time exam day was close. But then I got to the exam and the questions on the second quantitative section were so much harder than even the most difficult questions on the app. I scored 155 in the quantitative (because I didn’t finish - I was really thrown off by the hard problems) and 157 on verbal. I’m not the best reader so I guess the verbal score was decent, but 155 on quant was wild. For some context, I have a bachelor’s in applied mathematics. I definitely don’t think the prep pack is completely to blame but I’m very disappointed that my performance on the practice questions was not at all indicative of what my performance on the exam would have been. The questions were just really easy compared to actual test day. So long story short, this is a great resource but I would definitely supplement it with other more difficult study kits.

5. 2/5Excessive software glitches ruin the experience

   Content wise the app is great. Questions, explanations, and review functionalities are awesome (you’ll of course have to do the 3 day free trial then pay $20 to make it worth the content), but the app almost without fail glitches and loads blank questions that make you have to keep going back and reentering to get it to load. It doesn’t lose your progress, but it makes reviewing and taking practice tests impractical due to how frustrating and time consuming it is. Fix all the UI glitches and it’ll be a great experience, I’m sure!
