Pretty Useless
Overall, for the cost of a Barbri subscription you’d think at the minimum the app would load videos, or not require you to login each time you want to use the app. I would not recommend.
Sick
Can log in, won’t let me do anything without
Infinite sign in page loop
The app is buggy. It has an infinite sign-in page. There is no notice of wrong password or anything. Sign-in with google also doesn’t work.
Clunky app
Keeps logging me out. Doesn’t play downloaded clips if there’s no internet
Just stick to computer version if at all
I got this for mpre prep. You would think app developers would have the competence to seamlessly integrate AirPlay and audio encoding right? Right? Wrong! I like to watch videos on the big screen while following along with my iPad or laptop. Won’t even work right on laptop or pc. Not to mention the videos do not even follow the order of any of their textbooks. Not to mention further that this app is basically a shortcut to another app called Bookshelf, which glitches out when launched through this app. The only thing worthwhile with Barbri is Adaptibar, and only because it was developed by someone else before Barbri bought it out, and it’s only a matter of time before they screw that up too.

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
