Videos don’t play
Videos play for first 30 seconds then decide to stop. Will not work under any circumstance. Avoid this app at all cost.
Terrible
This is quite literally one of the worst apps I’ve ever downloaded.
Can’t log in
With the amount I paid for bar prep, I would like to be able to log in on my phone. This is disappointing
Garbage
Absolute garbage, for $3000 course they cant even build a functioning app.
Incredibly disappointing
This is truly one of the worst apps I have ever used on an iPhone. I am quite surprised at how terrible the features and functions are considering the significant cost of bar prep. The app is incredibly slow, constantly crashes, has trouble performing any of the offline downloads, and much more. I will be letting my firm know that they should not be using barbri for bar prep if it purports to have mobile technology and resources that does not function in even the most basic ways.

Horrendous App
Using BarBri’s app—especially on an iPad—will cause you immense frustration and many wasted hours as you prepare for this difficult exam.
My tip 1: each time you try to begin a lecture video, it will freeze. Exit the app completely. Log back in. It will then freeze a second time as you again attempt to watch the lecture video. Exit the app again, re-log in, and it should play with sporadic success from that point forward.
My tip 2: do not attempt to answer the multiple choice questions on this app.

Still can’t login
Even after the update, the app still says it cannot find my username or Student ID. I copied the username straight from the website, still no go. Can’t even recover my password because the app does not recognize my user ID. Website works just fine on my laptop, but the app is useless. I learn best by listening like a podcast while I drive or do some other physical task, so this is really hindering my studying. Very disappointed, especially after how much they charged for this program.

Always something going wrong
For the past few days logging in has been a nightmare. Half the day the app works and then the next time I open it I can’t log in.
Great Idea Horrible Execution
This app is completely nonfunctional. I lost a full day of studying because I took my iPad instead of my laptop with me. I’m so frustrated.
Disgustingly bad
This app doesn’t deserve a single star. Haven’t seen something this non functional in years
Terrible App
App functionality is clearly not a priority for BABRI given that I am experiencing the same issues as users did last year. Frequent crashes. Issues with displaying videos in landscape mode (will get audio but often picture migrates off screen). Crucially, you cannot count on being able to download videos for offline watching. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Worst part is I have the most trouble downloading MBE course lectures—maybe 1/3 will download, the rest do not respond when downloads are attempted. It’s especially bad given how many times this summer Barbri has gone offline itself, so you can’t try to account for those service outages. If you were planning on using an iPad for offline viewing, don’t pick Barbri.

Unacceptable
Unacceptable for a company to charge these kinds of prices to have a totally broken app in 2022. Total waste of money and I really regret using Barbri for my prep.
Stressful
There are comedian podcasters with better platforms than what BarBri is putting out with this App. Functionality is so limited and buggy. It is insulting considering what BarBri charges, insane considering this is 2022, and stressful when the last thing we all need right now is for our bar prep app to add stress to our lives.

Practically unusable
The quizzes don’t function. Occasionally I can download a video, but I don’t rely on it. For a company that charges an exorbitant amount of money for its services, I’d expect a functional app.
Does not work
The app will not download videos. Until that is fixed, it is useless for my purposes. Happy to update my rating if this ever changes. I find it very disappointing such an expensive service has such bad tech.
Awful
Awful layout super buggy. Will never let you download more than one video at a time
Doesn’t recognize my username and password
I can’t log in to this app using my Barbri credentials. Why even offer a mobile app?
I’d love to use it, but I can’t even login
I’m not sure what update you guys made to fix a login issue, but it doesn’t seem to work because I can’t login
Barbri iPad App is the worst app I’ve ever used
I prefer watching the lecture videos on my iPad because the Barbri overheats my MacBook. The issue is that the iPad app is one of, if not, the worst iOS apps I’ve ever used. The lectures only play for 10 seconds and then stop. I have to keep logging in and out or deleting and installing the app to make the videos even playable. Consider using a different bar prep course if you plan on utilizing mobile devices. I had to use Themis for a law school course and hardly had any issues with its app. It’s already a week into bar prep and I’ve already had countless issues with the Barbri app.

Extremely frustrating
The app does not work and is extremely frustrating to deal with in the middle of bar prep. Constantly glitching and crashing.
