Wont get pass the log in
This app has high hopes. As the ACT official program, I am disappointed. I was hoping to be able to study and keep track of my progress, but cant even make it past the log in. 🤷♀️
Can’t log in
I can’t log in with my act log in so I’m becoming concerned this app is illegitimate. Don’t download, just go to act site and register there, they have test prep stuff
Act App
I love how I can’t even use this app , like no matter what I do I cannot get past the log in stage. Like I KNOW my information but it still tells me invalid information. I have an account with act and everything I’ve done taken the test before but yet I can’t even use the app to study so 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

Bad learning
I don’t think I learned anything at all! My math score was an 18 when I started studying in January and now it’s a 19...
Can’t log in
I can’t even log in... please help 😭😭😭
This app is great
You need to practice a good amount but it really pays off it is official and better than all the other options out there
Pure unadulterated pain and suffering
The farther and farther you get in this app the more you want to ball up into fetal on the ground and just cry. I honest to god can’t tell if I’m actually learning anything and getting smarter, or if the app is just slowly killing off all of my dumber brain cells via. Methodical torture. But other than that great app! Wish it kept progress when switching from computer to the app though, I often have to redo section questions simply because it hasn’t saved properly.

Great but Glitchy
I love that there is an app for the prep so I don’t have to continually log onto the website. However, I am starting to think that logging on to the website is a lesser price to pay than constantly refreshing and closing out the app. The app frequently freezes and the page gets wonky. I don’t lose my place though, which is nice.

How do I sign up?
I don’t know how to sign up. There aren’t any instructions or a button too sign up.. please help.
Helpful but occasionally buggy
This is a helpful app for preparing for the ACT. There are hundreds of practice questions and two practice tests.
If you enter a incorrect question on a practice question, there is a detailed explanation of the correct answer.
The app also includes games as well as flashcards, although I never played the games.
This is likely the best app for ACT practice. My only complaint is that lately when I have been trying to use it, the app will not load. I go on the app and log in, but it does not load. I have restarted my iPad mini several times. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times, but it still will not work.
When I click "Click here if you are having trouble loading" the screen turns white. It is possible that the issue is with my internet connection or with my device, but I would still appreciate if there was a way to directly contact ACT about this issue.
Although I have access to ACT Online Prep on a desktop computer. I hope that the ACT will address this problem in the near future.

Won’t let me log in.
Great on desktop but won’t let me log in on mobile or app.
ACT Itself
The act review says at the start that the test is designed for everyone to succeed. Tell me why I am in the top 35% of my class but fail everything and have to scream because you ask me questions that only people majoring in the field will know.
Unable to use if you made an account using Google+
Sadly if you signed up to take the ACT using your Google+ acct, you won’t be able to do anything with this app. It tells you your email isn’t registered.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOWNLOADING
If you’re looking for something to teach you about the criteria that may be on the ACT this app is not for you.!!
5 Point Increase!
ACT deserves to be thanked for this thorough prep resource. I am so pleased with the almost 2,500 practice questions, 2 full-length practice tests, and lessons. The program also includes games, flashcards, and more, but time did not suffice for me to even be able to use it all. The best part is that this is all official material! It is absolutely worth every penny.
I went through all except 143 of the practice questions and all of the tests before my second ACT, and my score rose from 31 to 36 composite on that second test.
On the tech side, this app could use a few tweaks. I would have really appreciated being able to enlarge the font or blow out the screen at least. It was rather hard on my eyes. Also, I would’ve liked being able to hide the level of difficulty of each practice question while solving it. Knowing that a question was “expert” vs. “easy” only sharpened my nerves, not my brain.
Because of its terrific content, this app still deserves 5 stars, however. I recommend it strongly!!

Convenient app
I can log in on the go or on my computer with no problem. I’m also learning things on subjects I thought I knew well that I didn’t know before. 10/10 recommend for people who do not like the typical ‘do practice tests until you get it’ ACT prep work you’d find elsewhere.
Daily goals are too high!
I'm stressed out enough about this test as is, but the daily knowledge goals are making things even worse! My goal for today was 376 points, and each task I do only raises my knowledge points a little bit! If I try to meet that goal, it'll take me ALL DAY! There's no way I'm doing that! The knowledge points system seriously needs to be fixed! 😡

Doesn’t do anything
I tried logging into my account. All the app did was link me to Safari to log on and study there instead.
If all it does is act as a portal, then this isn’t a very useful app.

Best app for act prep
Are you scouring all over for the right ACT prep course for you? You've come to the right place.
The great thing about this program is that not only is it by the makers of the actual ACT, you also get to study at your own pace. Instead of buying countless prep books and doing these unauthorized and not true-to-level practice tests (for example PR is tailored to lower end scorers to get an average scores while Barron is tailored to more advanced students) this one is as real as you'll get. And not to mention the cost-it's only $40 for the program. That's the equivalent of 2 prep books (boohoo) or you could get 1/30 of a tutoring course. Talk about value.
My personal experience: I got this app about 2 months prior to my test date, and practiced a little every day. In the end I only completed 22% of the total course, but I was still well prepared for my test. I ended up with a 36 composite first try.
All in all, definitely get this program if you want to do well in the ACT. All the people complaining are technologically inept and don't realize that you have to have an ACT account linked with the program in order to use the app. I personally prefer the desktop version but this app is great for on the go sessions.
