Lots of tips for every type of problem & scenario. Highly recommend!!! ### 5/5 — Great *2014-04-15, version 2.5* The app includes everything it shows for the app and is an excellent tool for act prep. ### 5/5 — Pretty Cool *2014-03-04, version 2.0* I'm a seventeen year old about to take the ACT, and I just got this app. It's very helpful with studying for the ACT already. I've learned multiple tips for taking the ACT and it's only been about twenty minutes. ### 5/5 — :) *2012-09-06, version 1.2* I got a 31!!!! ### 5/5 — Good App *2012-02-20, version 1.2* Very fast and I have an iPad2. It's as if you have an Real ACT Test Tutor. love It !! Worth $10 ### 4/5 — Excellent except for the math *2011-04-09, version 1.1* It had excellent information. It has everything you need to prepare for the ACT. The only flaw I found was that majority of the math that was used for examples and questions were completely wrong. Whoever made this definately needs to learn math again. Other than that, it had everything needed to do good. ### 4/5 — Very helpful *2010-11-17, version 0* Everything you need to get a good score. ### 5/5 — Everything you need *2010-09-06, version 0* This app is great! It is EVERYTHING you need for the ACT, from how to study, tips to use on the test, and best of all, PRACTICE ACTs! It's awesome! If you are going into the ACT, this is a MUST BUY. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — .. *2023-02-16* The stories are smudged and not clear you can’t even read the story on the reading section.. I’ve tried it on the laptop and it’s even worse .. ### 1/5 — Another “sign up with email and password” *2020-02-02, version 4.2.4* In fairness I didn’t try the app, it won’t let you in unless you give them your email and password. Password, really? **Developer response:** Thanks for your review. By creating a user account, you can keep your progress across different devices. We believe you'll like what you see if you give the app another chance! ### 1/5 — Explanations on the Questions are Terrible!!! *2018-12-01, version 4.2.4* I’m working through the math portion, alright, and I come across this question that says something like m = the number of pencils, n = the cost of those pencils, and p = also equals pencils (for some weird reason), and of course I get it wrong and the explanation made no sense. It goes on to explain that m is the denominator and that because we know that, everything but C and E are canceled even though C didn’t have a denominator of m. Not only that, but how did you even realize that m was the denominator? This question and many others were what confused the heck out of my brain, while studying for the ACT this weekend. Another question said something like (5x^2y^4(3x^3y^5 = ? When I went to answer this one, the actual correct answer was way off of what I expected. Apparently it had something to do with square rooting both parts of the problem, even though it didn’t even complete that part of the equation. I thought I just had to multiply them together, but no. This is literally one of the most confusing apps I have ever tried to use. The problems are incomplete and the explanations of the questions are horrendous. 10/10 would not recommend. ### 2/5 — FAILS at showing you a section... *2011-10-11, version 1.2* i was very excited about this app until i got to one of the sections: "Ten Dumb Mistakes That'll Mess Up You Exam" i clicked on it and my screen just went blank, there was nothing there. i was very disappointed because i couldn't find out what they put on that section... ### 3/5 — Unsubscribe *2021-05-15, version 4.2.4* Is this a reoccurring payment or is it just a one time purchase for the app? ### 3/5 — Wrong Answers *2021-01-27, version 4.2.4* The app works well to give you a sense of what you do and don’t understand but often times the answers are wrong. **Developer response:** We’re sorry you found errors in the content and would like to correct them. If you are willing to share examples, please contact feedback@hltcorp.com. ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2020-12-26, version 4.2.4* This app has a ton of glitches but it’s still better than the other ACT preps **Developer response:** We would like to help you resolve whatever glitches you’re seeing! Please contact us at support@hltcorp.com or 319-246-5271. ### 3/5 — Okay but... *2020-08-05, version 4.2.4* The app has great material but it’s impossible to use in 2020, if the developers could add an update to make it more compatible with new phones that would be amazing. As of right now, if you plan on looking at the passage twice during a question, forget being able to scroll down because it will not let you and if you tap the screen, a weird translucent banner pops up and you have to exit out of that. I love the content but it just makes questions about tables(particularly science the section) impossible if you forgot what experiment they were talking about and you made the mistake of clicking on the passage more than once. Please fix this guys😂 ### 3/5 — Science questions don’t match problems right *2019-11-28, version 4.2.4* The science questions reference texts and illustrations that don’t match the questions. Maybe you can double check that? **Developer response:** Thanks for your review, Eitan. We would be happy to correct specific errors that are brought to our attention. Please contact our Customer Success team at support@hltcorp.com to discuss your concerns. ### 4/5 — good app but has some technical problems *2021-11-19, version 4.2.4* i do not usually write reviews, but i want this issue to be corrected. before i get into the technical problem- i would like to say this app is VERY good; it has a feature for a study goal and set a test date, and the explanations are good because they tell you how to approach the problem and why the answers are wrong or right. overall very good tool. i downloaded it because i wanted something i could look over problems when i had a spare moment (school keeps me extremely busy) and it is a wonderful tool if that is what you are looking for:) the technical issue i have found is that the graphs for the science get kinda stuck? so you can look at it once fine but if you try to return to it it will not let you scroll to see it all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good app… BUT *2022-02-04, version 4.2.4* This app is fantastic for studying for the ACT! I do wish, however, that it would let you take multiple practice tests without paying for premium! ### 5/5 — Great App for the ACT *2021-02-20, version 4.2.4* I didn’t make a good score the first go around ,but now that I have some help for this test I am ready to ace it. ### 5/5 — helpful *2020-12-14, version 4.2.4* this app helped me a lot with studying my act it’s extremely easy to use and not frustrating. ### 5/5 — Really good! *2020-06-16, version 4.2.4* This app is very helpful, for a free cost.

It’s apparent that the app is designed to be interesting and engaging. It thoroughly describes your correct and/or incorrect answers with an easy to comprehend insightful description. The questions are challenging and tricky but, if you get it wrong it tells you exactly the things to watch out for on the test! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-06-19, version 4.2.4* I didn’t get a great score the first time I took my ACT, but I’m retaking it next month and this app has helped me a lot. ### 5/5 — Great *2019-06-06, version 4.2.4* Love it! ### 5/5 — Useful so far! *2016-01-03, version 2.5* I started using this app, works pretty good and gives nice explanations so far ### 5/5 — Awesome app!! *2015-08-10, version 2.5* Definetly would recommend this app. It include awesome tips. Worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Current college student *2015-03-25, version 2.5* This app tests your skills, and helps you improve in many aspects I've personally seen on the ACT/SAT. I love how it gives you a very detailed explanation to the problems at hand.
