Love the app, been using it for years, but i got a new phone recently. The Honor Magic8 Pro, when making a flashcard, the extra bar that allows changing text color/bold/italic/adding pictures (the entire bar basically) doesn't show up. I'm unable to use the features anymore to edit my flashcards at all. Please update your app to support new devices, thank you.

★★★★ Neo Koalie 2/19/2026
The worst app😡 😡 🤬 ever after paying so much for the whole year it just started giving me wrong analysis when I try to take a picture it just assumes that I want to create flash cards it even assumes the wrong subjects for the flashcard and the developers aren't responding me so I suggest you to not pay the subscription because you'll regret it 😭 😭
★★★★ Wambuimilana 2/17/2026
Its not a bad app is just the app rejects evry time you try to a subject it also has a word texting limit it want yo to sign up even when you dont want to
★★★★ Reha 2/15/2026
worst app full of subsrciptions
★★★★ Carlton 2/12/2026 v15.9.0
Cancelled trail and they charge me the full 77 quid anyways, not worth it at all operates as a scam locking you in for one year min
★★★★ John Imen 2/8/2026

★★★★ Sarah Badejoko 1/31/2026 v15.7.1

★★★★ Amina Talukdar 1/11/2026 v15.6.0
I was not able to use without subscribing. I need help as it's telling me to unsubscribe on play store.
★★★★ os mes 1/9/2026 v15.5.0
I cancelled my subscription in February 2025 and didn't have premium access afterward, yet I was charged €69.99 months later. I contacted support, instead of refunding the unauthorized charge, they suddenly reactivated premium access without my consent and refused the refund. This is a recurrent illegal behavior from their side: affected users: file a complaint with European Consumer Centre! > Edit after response: Vaia response is a bot. I've exchanged 5 emails with the support with no solution

★★★★★ Gabriela Castillo 4/17/2026 v16.6.0
I've had this app for a while came back to it and all of a sudden things that were free that put it above other apps were suddenly behind a paywall now it's just another app
★★★★★ Tavo Mano 2/27/2026
This app used to be very useful for me, especially the 'test' option. However, with the promotion of the AI assistant feature (which cannot be turned off), this app has become a huge hassle for me. The test option for generating 'short answers' had vanished, and now the AI algorithm is making every question from scratch, creating and formulating new questions. This feature has not been of help, but frustrating, especially because the AI talks nonsense all the time when generating content.
★★★★★ Sali 2/3/2026 v15.8.0
if they Included Scottish education levels and school years that would be helpful :) edit: this app was my go to before all the unhelpful AI additions. will be deleting and going old school now because I feel the app has just downgraded with its updates
★★★★★ Eric Demel 1/31/2026
looks good but doesn't work well. lots of unnecessary fluff and way too expensive for what it is
★★★★★ ana mihaela 1/25/2026 v15.7.1
i thought it would save me time by doing flash cards for me, but they are so bad. Some parts of the lesson are skipped entirely, while for the rest, the answers are bs and i had to remade them. It's waaay better if you just make your falsh cards yourself instead of relying on this app.
★★★★★ Samantha Gail Roque 1/14/2026 v15.6.0
I downloaded the flashcards for offline use, yet the app doesn't open when there isn't Wi-fi. 🤦🤦🤦
