### 1/5 — Great Info -10 Interface

*2024-02-22*

Information and professors etc are great. Show explanation in the moment in MBes. Wonderful. The actual use of the app - terrible. The integration into iPhone - HORRIBLE. the actual memory of where you left off to pick up. Garbage. They need to re do the whole app. Make it more aesthetic while they’re at it. More iPhone friendly. Able to play when iPhone locked like so many basic features lacking. I told them this 3 years ago and still nothing has changed. But BARBRI is just as awful so missed superiority opportunity Kap.

### 2/5 — Not very reliable and very disappointing

*2024-02-06*

So I am using this Kaplan program for bar review but the app is very glitchy when it comes to taking or using the QBank and I always get turned around try to play any audio that I download. 

For the QBank- When you download your multiple choice quizzes it locks up and kicks you out when you are done with the quiz. Or if you manage to download them once you finish and sync it does not sync or update that you have completed them. It is extremely frustrating because you end up having to go online to do the quiz again since you have taken it but it doesn’t update or glitches. So either way, if it glitches it throws you out when you finish the quiz and doesn’t save your effort. Or if you manage to finish without a problem and close it well it screws up the sync and you end up doing the quiz twice to clear it from your tasks. 

For the audio sync it is just not that user friendly. You have to find the day you want every time and go to the video and download but you can’t find your downloaded files quickly or access them easily without hunting. Then if you manage to download the audio it doesn’t keep track of what you have downloaded and watched or not. You have to keep track somehow on your own which is a bit of a pain when you are on the go and trying to use drive time to listen. 

The iPad version is the same. Very disappointing.

**Developer response:** Hi, Callie! Thanks for reaching out & letting us know about the issues you've encountered within the Kaplan Bar Review app and your concerns. We're sorry to hear that you've been experiencing issues with your app and we'd love to help you get this resolved! When you get an opportunity, please reach out to us at kaplansocial@kaplan.com.

### 5/5 — Awesome On-the-Go Study Platform

*2022-12-23, version 8.2*

This app makes it easy to maximize studying during the “gray time” between events (traffic, air travel, waiting rooms, etc.).  The content is easy to navigate and accessible on my phone; all I need are headphones and I have what I need to stay on too of my studies. The access to the quizzes are amazing and extremely helpful. The only critique I have is the associated documents on Adobe Digital Editions app are difficult to navigate on an iPhone. Still, since this is a Kaplan App review, that is information that does not lower my 5-star rating.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for reaching out! We’re so glad you found the Kaplan Bar Review app helpful. As we take all student feedback seriously, we'd appreciate any other feedback you have about our app. When you get an opportunity, please reach out to us at nxtsocial@kaplan.com.

### 3/5 — Consistent performance issues

*2022-06-18, version 8.2*

I love the app and the only problems are with syncing your tasks and unexpected crashes where it just disappears. Otherwise this would literally be a PERFECT application.

### 3/5 — Help this app

*2022-05-29, version 8.2*

To much freezing, volume goes out, give me trouble signing in. When it works it’s great but who needs to be frustrated while trying to study. Also it would be nice if you could split the screen while using an iPad. Great way to take notes while in live classes. This opinion reflects the app not Kaplan review. I’m loving Kaplan’s methods.

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2022-03-29, version 8.2*

The app doesn’t sync well with desktop. My videos often crash. I can’t control the speed within the app like I can’t via desktop. The app automatically signs me out! I absolutely hate the app!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2022-03-12, version 8.2*

Has made it really easy for me to transition between my iPad and iPhone and computer.  I just keep going with my modules and it keeps track.  Glad I have this app for on the go study vibes

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2021-07-28, version 8.2*

Keeps crashing on both the iPad and iPhone after four minutes of play. Great material provided I could actually watch it.

### 1/5 — Sync problems

*2020-09-19, version 8.0*

If you finish a quiz on the app and then log into the computer version, the system overwrites you’re results (i.e. erases) and there is no way to recover them. This happens even if you don’t open up the quiz on the computer. This means that you can’t analyze your results. Also, you can’t start a quiz on the app unless you’ve started it first on the computer and then suspended it.

### 4/5 — Would be perfect with a few tweeks!

*2020-08-27, version 8.0*

During my studies I have really enjoyed having access to the mobile app! The reason I gave it 4 stars was for two reasons. First, it would be awesome to be able to start quizzes on the app. I’ve noticed I have to start the quiz on the desktop site in order to do a quiz on the mobile app. I have also noticed if I pause the quiz I’m taking on the mobile app, my answers do not get saved. 
Second, after starting my final study plan, I saw that I do not have access to it on the mobile app which is a total bummer. 
Other than that it is pretty user friendly and a great resource when I need to do some studying but can’t take my laptop with me.
