Pay money and still have a limit?
A monthly test limit is honestly absurd and greedy.
Have to pay to work with this app?
Shouldn’t have to pay.
I paid!
I tried the monthly and was flooded with adds. I paid for the Quizlet plus on my computer and it didn’t register on my app.

Why isn’t it free anymore
I don’t understand how they’re charging to use their platform when it used to be free. Not only that, they’re getting money from others people work. I make my own sets, other people make their own sets, yet quizlet doesn’t make their own sets to study, so why are you charging money on other people’s work? Such a greedy thing to do.
Terrible
User interface seems to have been intentionally designed to be as unintuitive and distracting as possible.
Fix the image issue already!!!
Iam so frustrated with quizlet- others have being complaining about the same exact thing. Why am I paying premium monthly membership to use a feature that isn’t working!!! Why does quizlet keep shrinking images?! They should actually make the images bigger. This app is garbage. Get rid of the bs additions, the AI generator and just fix the stupid image issues that we’ve been complaining about for years!!!
Wrong answers
It gives me wrong answers
Subscriber
Created by other users. No direct test or quizzes to the ftce exams. Just random push pull study options.
Cant install app
I can install other apps but some reason this 1 wont install
Sucks.
Free version is so limited that it’s going to be the downfall of this app. Students already have enough going on to want to pay to study. Bring back old quizlet.
Latest update is horrible
It won’t let me scan documents to create flashcards sets anymore. It loads all the words into one celll. Very stupid update.
Horrible.
Everything was going good until it started tweaking out. The stupid app will mix up your terms and definitions and when you flip them and I’ll flip them back. It glitches and does not let you click, restart flashcards. The app genuinely just sucks in every way I thought that it was good at first since it made stunning easier, which is the only good part except that it makes you mad and frustrated when it stops working. and it stops working every three seconds this app is horrible. Do not buy and definitely do not pay for it.
One test
I only could take the practice test once and then it wanted me to play money for unlimited and it was 9.80 for one month I would not get this if you are trying to study for a test and you do not want to use money.
Paid service prevents use
Questions and flash cards stopped loading entirely for me after 20 or so cards in- realised it was paywalled.
Annoying organization
Anytime I want something it’s always like u need Quizlet + and I sometimes need to study something but don’t have the money to get Quizlet +
Build it first
I didn’t realize I had to create everything. I would have done that first before downloading the app. It’s a template not a source of information. That should be mentioned
Helpful sometimes
There is no way to flag a flashcard as incorrect. Studying for my notary public exam, several flashcards were just wrong. Spreading bad information hurts the platform and I would expect the platform to have a way to correct this.
Corporate Greed
Greedy little app that used to be free, they now have ads AND ask for a subscription.
Ads
Ads every 5 seconds and all over my screen. Didn’t used to be like this actually pissing me off.
FIX THIS APP
i love quizlet don't get me wrong but the app is SO overwhelming and there is so much going on like it's so busy and the text is at like 4000 size like chill make it smaller
GREEDY ADS
15 second adds every 10 cards and 5 pop ups every screen. Ridiculous genuinely the greediest app I’ve seen
Price
Why for students for a certain time have to pay such a expensive amout it should be cheaper and afford to pay and also with coupons
Disappointed
Has really gone downhill and lost the basic sense of principles that made people want to use this study app. Looking for alternatives.
Been a user since 2016
Features that used to be freely available are now locked behind a paywall. Disappointing and frustrating
I feel betrayed
Quizlet has always been an incredible free learning tool and something i have heavily relied on for many years. i bought the premium plan when it first came out because the additional features were a good bonus. i am now in a place where i only use it for finals studying because the cost of premium is only worth it then. without spending money this app is next to useless for studying and many features are stuck behind a paywall. Overall i’m just really disappointed with how much money corrupted this once amazing app.
Liked the older version better
Why did they add ADS it’s really frustrating every time I get taken to a different site and it distracts me and makes me lose my focus. How do you expect me to study efficiently with all of these pop-ups?
SUCKS DO NOT GET
It makes you watch ads and pay for almost anything
This free trial is not cool
I’ve used this my whole life never had to do this WHATS up with this I should be able to help my education without having to pay
Useless unless you have the money
Only effective if you are willing to buy the subscription.
New Update SUcks
Whatever this new update for the iPad is sucks! I hate how terms and definitions are stacked onto one card now instead of two different columns. Also, in flashcard mode I can’t even use the arrows on my Magic Keyboard anymore as a way to swipe. Unnecessary updates have made this app way worse.
