Not good

Terribly laggy!! I have a brand new iPad and it constantly times out or lags when trying to pause.

Buggy Mess

Awful UI too

Tested and trusted

I used Barbri as a foreign trained lawyer (no LLM) and I passed on my first attempt!

please please please let us do bar prep assignments on the app

please please please let us do bar prep assignments on the app! split screen (top for assignment, bottom for text box) would be perfect

Great tool for bar prepping on the go

This tool is especially helpful for those of us who prefer to listen while multitasking I.e. cooking, cleaning, driving, etc.

I withheld one star because you do not have access to see your progress from the app, nor can you access the PSP.

You can watch the videos, I’m not sure about the other functions as of yet because I haven’t attempted. But it’s an easy way to squeeze in the required study hours while in transit.

Lacking in accessibility features

There’s no way to adjust the font size on the app, which is disappointing because the font size is very small. Please fix. Thank you.

Easy to use

I find these materials very useful

Sound cuts in and out

Sound doesn’t really work. I’ll pause the video then play it again, and the sound won’t work. Also, I don’t recommend using Barbri for bar study. I used Barbri in 2017 and passed the bar exam, but now I need it again in 2026, and it’s a completely different and sloppy product.

IL Student loves the quizzes

The quizzes at the end of the modules are excellent and helped me think through why an answer is right with just as much effort to answer why a question is wrong

App is broken

Can't even sign in without getting stuck in an infinite loop

App has issues, lots of them

I have to uninstall and reinstall the app every time I want to use the course after I haven’t used it in a few days. For some reason it completely empties out your downloads and shows no items after being logged in for a few days and logging out and back in does nothing, just gives you more errors. uninstalling it and reinstalling works but it’s very frustrating to do that then redownload the courses you already had downloaded for offline.

Inconsistent

When this app works, it’s a very useful supplement to the desktop version. However more than half the time I try to use it, I just get a blank white page that never loads. I’ve tried quitting out of the app, deleting it and re-installing it, restarting my phone - nothing works until randomly the app loads again hours later. Extremely temperamental app and unreliable when you know you need offline access to the lectures.

Doesn’t work on all iPads

The app works okay but could be better. Limited access in China.

Property Questions

Feel appropriately challenged. Really like the explanations to questions.

Needs better car play

Video stops playing when screen is turned off. Makes it hard to pause play or rewind while driving

Extremely Rudimentary

The app as a whole, and to be honest even the full browser web page, is extremely rudimentary. I cannot control the in video player sound bar. I cannot control whether the video controls stay or fade away. The app takes a very long time to load into. Once you do, the UI is unappealing, it’s counterintuitive at best, and the aspect ratio is often confused as to what it should be. Overall, this would be a really good app if it was the first ever released beta version. However this app is astonishingly primitive for how long it’s been around.

Terrible app

This app serves no purpose whatsoever.

Every time you try and download a lecture or view a handout it just comes up with an error message.

Clearly needs a lot work.

I wouldn’t bother wasting your time in downloading it.

Good for Study, But Video Player is Annoying

The app mostly preserves the functions of the online version, which is good. I appreciate that I can study even if I can’t use my computer at the time. I have two main gripes. The first, minor, is that I don’t see the amount of time I’ve spent per day when doing assignments. The second is that I can’t consistently keep the video in widescreen. Most of the time it shuts me out of widescreen halfway through the video and I can’t change it back. I’d rate the app higher if these problems were fixed.

Great content, horribly optimized app.

Self explanatory. If you know, you know.

Barbri

The has been loading the video for like five minutes straight but it has not played the video. Pls fix this issues on the app. Thanks!
