Does not Work
Maybe I’m the minority on this, but I paid the subscription fee for a year. I have an Xs. From the start, the app did not function. The text on the cards needs scrolling to view the whole body, and there is no scroll capability. I tried changing the orientation, then I closed the app, restarted it. Then I deleted it, and re-downloaded it, re-signed in, same issues. I tried contacting the app developer, and could not easily find a way to contact customer support. In the end, had to have a lengthy chat process with iTunes to get my refund.

This was experience, as of 11/19. Good luck, and I hope it works for you, though other reviews also indicate efficacy issues, so do your homework.

Pure Garbage
You can’t read questions at all. Past reviews have mentioned this for sometime and the developer makes a comment regarding this but NO CHANGES. Further, compared to other sources such as designerhacks, the amount of questions are ridiculously low. PPD has 20 questions max. Don’t waste your money.

Interface not working properly
The user interface for the flash cards is awful. The full extents of the question is not visible therefore making this app useless. I have trying to figure out a way to increase the size of the flash card so I can see the rest of the question and the answer. The scroll function doesn’t work here and rotating the phone screen also doesn’t fix this problem. The support for this app is quite difficult to find and I just want a refund.

Cannot see all the text with new Apple ios update
I loved this app until the recent update to the Apple operating system. I’ve deleted and redownloaded the app and words are still cut off. I’ve looked at the cards on both my phone and ipad. No matter what orientation the screen, entire sentences are cut off. I emailed support and still have not received an answer. Because of this issue, this app is 100% worthless.
I did have a friend with an android phone look at the app and his works fine. All the text is visible. So it seems that the issue is only with Apple products.

Newest Apple Update makes this app useless!!
The new Apple operating system 13+ makes the cards unreadable! The app is a nice way to pass a few mins when you are on the go and I have a yearly subscription but this developer hasn’t updated the app in over 9 months. And unless they do something, this app may become useless. 😢

Not working on ios 13
Can’t scroll the text in the card, which makes this app useless.

1 Star and delete.

Misleading
The main problem with preparing for ARE is misleading information. There are so many resources and most of them are misleading. This app is not exception. You can’t learn the right answer if all materials answer the question differently. You won’t see the structure and underlying concepts that are at the core all questions at ARE. Instead if you grab a study material without proper evaluation and try to discern a structure and the meaning you will be very frustrated. Do yourself a favor don’t grab WHATEVER material to prepare for your ARE. Instead go to ARE 5 Community forum and read which study materials are proven by your peers and have close proximity to the questions on actual exam. This Flashcards app is a trash. Save yourself time and effort don’t install it.

Not worth the price
This app contains only about 60-80 questions for each exam. That’s no where near enough practice questions to study for an exam that has twice that amount. Not enough study material to justify $11.99 a month. Please add more content!!!

Be careful with the ‘try 3 days for free’
I touched that line when I opened the app for the first time. I thought it will give me a 3 day trial. Then it directly charged me $13+. I want a refund but seems no way to get the money back. Very back first time experience.
