  • Study options

    I believe this app to be good in helping people study just kinda sucked the options are limited I didn’t see a lot of physics or engineering related topics and as an undergraduate studying for electrical engineering I need all the help I need. Maybe the catalog will be update with time but right now nothing to helpful for me.

    Hey, we just released an app update with more titles and we'll be adding more each semester. Go to the app store to update your app and see all the new content- hopefully we have something for you! We'd love to hear more details about your experience. If you want to share or request titles, please send us a note at hello@studysharpen.com.
  • Voice in videos

    Please find a new voice to read in these videos please. This slow lazy voice is not helping me, the material is helpful but the reader makes me want to sleep.

    -I don’t know how to reply. I am using anatomy and physiology, the overview video is fine but it’s the summary one that makes me want to sleep.

    Thanks for the review! What title are you using? For videos, try speeding up the audio - you can go up to 2x speed :) We're always working to improve our app and we'd love to hear more about your experience. If you have some time, please send us a note at sharpen@mheducation.com.

  • Great app, needs more subjects

    I really like how easy this app is to use, how easy it makes studying, how helpful it is, and the overall look of the app. However, I believe that the app could use some more subjects such as mathematics (which is what I was hoping the app would have when I first downloaded) but for everything else, this is a very helpful app that I would definitely recommend! :)

    Cool person, cool review :) We're a new app and we're hard at work adding more subjects for fall semester - including math! Check back in the fall for more titles and topics
  • iPad Needs Landscape Mode

    The iPad is a huge part of student life, and we use it in landscape mode most of the time, but the app is not designed to rotate the screen so that we can use it in landscape mode. Otherwise, it is a very helpful app for quick revision and clearing some concepts while commuting or at break time.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for the feedback, glad Sharpen has been helpful for you :) We are working on addressing landscape mode in an upcoming release! If you want share more about your experience, we'd be happy to chat. Drop us a note at sharpen@mheducation.com.
  • Super easy for on the go prep

    I review quizzes and flashcards on the way to class. Great way to get in more study time when I only have a few minutes

    5-star student! Thanks for reviewing.
  • Really Helpful!

    I have to say I don’t write reviews often but this is worth the review. This app is actually REALLY helpful! I am currently taking social psychology for college and this been helping me study for exams. Also it’s free! With no annoying ads!

    Developer Response

    Love to hear this! We hope you crushed your exams!
  • False advertisement

    When I saw an ad for this app, it was showcased as if it was the perfect studying app for students. Quizzes, small paragraphs, Flashcards, sounds great! just like Quizlet, right? NO. NOWHERE did it say that it was for college students only! I was interested and excited seeing that there possibly was a new studying app that I could use. But I suppose not since all this app has to offer is study material from textbooks for college students. Thank you for being so “real” with your clientele, Sharpen.

  • Sharpen

    Extremely useful for doing test for business. This app helps with vocabulary, challenging your brain to a mini quiz with answers.

    Developer Response

    We're so glad you found Sharpen useful. Happy quizzing :)
  • Great studying tool

    I have a 8 week accelerated course for my medical terminology class, this app was introduced by my instructor, this is an awesome way to learn faster, they ask questions, about the content you read, and it’s relevant to what you’re learning in class.

    Developer Response

    Woohoo! We're so glad you found Sharpen useful for your class :)
