Nunca me abrió la app.
Doesn’t care about learning
This is a waste of time and money. None of the system actually checks if you understand the subject matter. It’s simply shallow and gamified.
It is so good
I love it brilliant is too good, I am a child that can’t concentrate and it helps me concentrate and help me excel in my subjects.
Misled into Yearly Subscription
It’s a shame because I find app to be a quite a robust experience, I’m just very disappointed with how I was misled to signing up for a yearly subscription, it is in my opinion disgusting and just plainly simple nasty the way they present the information as to make you think that you just signed up for a monthly subscription, and little you know a charge for $140 is sent to your bank account. I am incredibly angry that garbage companies like this one get away with this kind of stuff.
Don’t like the AI review
The original explanations were fine. Then they switched to the AI explanation. The interface is terrible and it’s hard to scroll. It also doesn’t have visuals in the explanations. I haven’t figured out how to turn the AI assist off and go back to the regular explanations. Updates should improve the user experience. This feature does not.
Cmon guys.
It was nearly perfect, it’s free (there is an optional premium) but only two lessons per day on an app BUILT FOR LEARNING is ridiculous. I can see maybe five free lessons per day. (And that is including the three question warmups that cost keys) or, you get rid of the key system and go to a life system like of Duolingo or other free learning services.
I wish the non pay option would let you learn more
This is a really good app for learning, but needs a subscription and without one you can barely do any lessons. It only lets you do 2 lessons a day. Which is not a lot. The ads are also kinda goofy. This would be a 5 star because I love learning apps but since you have to pay I would not use this app. I know that they need to make money but the free version should let you do more lessons. So overall this is a good app if you have money sitting in the bank, but if not downloading this is a waste of time.
