I have spoken. (The mandalorian). Anybody who thinks this is good plays to much Roblox and thinks Minecraft is a “baby game” ### 4/5 — One thing missing *2026-08-14, version 1.14.4* It’s super useful but needs more practice exams because it feels repetitive ### 1/5 — Inconsistent *2026-08-13, version 1.14.4* Offline randomly for no reason. ### 1/5 — decimals DON’T WORK *2026-08-11, version 1.14.3* So, I have to practice for a third time because my mom wants me to retake the SAT yet again. One problem? PUTTING IN PERIODS DOESN’T WORK. In that way, what could’ve gotten me a 1300+ ends up getting screwed over because this app doesn’t like to accept PERIODS OF ALL THINGS! Fix the app, because I refuse to have to take the SAT for a FOURTH TIME because the developers can’t fix this stupid bug. ### 2/5 — Bug *2026-08-10, version 1.14.3* I took a practice SAT exam yesterday and was shocked to find out that it would not let me add a decimal on the maths section. The answer I had was also too long to put in fraction form. I am working on an iPad. My SAT exam is in less than two weeks, and if this issue isn’t fixed until then I don’t know what I will do. I’m super stressed out about this, please help. ### 1/5 — Straight cheeks *2026-08-09, version 1.14.3* I h8 collegboard ### 1/5 — AP exams and SAT *2026-08-05, version 1.14.3* This app is against the wellbeing of the students who are required to use it. It will give a person a headache. It is a shame that Collegeboard and Bluebook charge you to sign up for exams. Sure, they offer financial aid, but it still seems unethical to charge a large sum of money from students and students’ families. It surely can’t be very expensive to create the exams, since they even sometimes reuse questions, and it also shouldn’t be too costly to pay the people who grade the exams. Of course, they have to pay them some money, but charging $80 for an AP exam and $70 for SAT seems like way too much. Bah humbug. ### 1/5 — Netanyahu’s favorite app! *2026-08-02, version 1.14.3* Be sure to get an HIV test after using this app. I do not recommend using this app. This is your sign to give up on your dreams and pour concrete. ### 2/5 — Fix iPad “.” Input error *2026-07-28, version 1.14.3* Persistent ipad error which won’t let me enter “.” Into my answer space. Annoying error, even more annoying that it seems to be a known error, not life ruining but definitely ruined some practice sessions. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dont Get *2026-08-20, version 1.14.4* I HATE THE SAT I hate AP CHEM I hate everything about this app ### 1/5 — Inhumane *2026-08-20, version 1.14.4* This app caused me distress panic and a whole lot of sadness I would never wish this on my worst enemy. This is a punishment suited for the final ring of hell. ### 1/5 — Garbage total garbage *2026-08-19, version 1.14.4* If I can give 0 stars I would give you 0. By this latest update, you expect me to buy a new Mac? Why is this not backward compatible? This is such a crime. ### 1/5 — Updates, Crashes, and More! *2026-08-19, version 1.14.4* It always updates at the worst time (in the middle of practice tests). It always crashes at the worst times (during AP Euro and an SAT). It does everything wrong. Also college board sucks. ### 1/5 — Why? *2026-08-18, version 1.14.4* The entire system is poorly made and evokes a primal fear into any student who has ever used it. I don’t think there is a single person who would willingly use this. ### 1/5 — I never wanna see another number again *2026-08-18, version 1.14.4* or letter ### 1/5 — 🗑️👎👎 *2026-08-18, version 1.14.4* I had a really disappointing experience with the Bluebook app. It was frustrating to use, felt unreliable, and made something that should have been straightforward much more stressful. The interface could be more intuitive, and the app needs better stability and clearer guidance when something goes wrong. For an app students are expected to depend on for important testing, I expected a much smoother and more dependable experience. ### 1/5 — Ruined my life *2026-08-18, version 1.14.4* I was a better person before Bluebook. I had light in my eyes and I could go about my life worry free. That was until bluebook exams came into my life. Now, when I look in the mirror, I look like I went to three wars consecutively. Someone please sue this app and the company behind it. ### 1/5 — Mac compatibility *2026-08-18, version 1.14.4* I find it completely outrageous that Bluebook is no longer compatible on my device. My laptop is a 2017 Macbook pro which was able to run Bluebook perfectly 2 months ago during my AP testing, but now as I prepare for my SAT I've learned that my laptop is no longer compatible. I just paid a ton of money to fix its screen that I broke to last me one more year, I might as well have put it towards a new Mac if I would've known one of the most important softwares no longer can be run on a perfectluy good mac that does not need to be replaced. ### 1/5 — Recent update broke the app *2026-08-17, version 1.14.4* The update last Thursday (August 13, 2026) broke the app on my computer. When opened, Bluebook insists that I need to update in order to use it, but the app store shows that it *did* update four days ago. Good job, College Board. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Don’t know why the bad score *2026-08-19, version 1.14.4* I’ve never had a problem with this app and it seems to be all the bad ratings are from years ago. ### 5/5 — 🚨⚠️2027 BLUEBOOK REVIEW ⚠️ 🚨 *2026-08-18, version 1.14.4* Honestly, the app isn’t even close to as awful as these dudes say it is. It is literally just for taking the test I think these people just gotta learn to study and do well. ### 5/5 — Definitely 5 stars! *2026-08-16, version 1.14.4* I hated writing essays on paper. This app saved me. ### 5/5 — Pay sites spamming 1-star reviews *2026-08-15, version 1.14.4* This app works perfectly, my daughter is using it now to get ready for the SAT. You’re seeing reviews by pay sites that want you to use their app instead of the much better free one. Don’t fall for it. ### 5/5 — sat *2026-08-15, version 1.14.4* i got 1500 ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2026-08-14, version 1.14.4* It’s a helpful app, the practice SATs are great resources. For some reason a ton of the negative responses are negative, which is weird. ### 5/5 — LIFE IS A SIMULATION *2026-07-20, version 1.14.3* BLUEBOOK WAS MADE ONLY FOR ITS PURE INTENTION TO AMUSE GOD. THE MOMENT GOD DOES NOT FIND OUR PAIN AMUSING HE WILL END OUR LIVES. WE SHALL COUNT OUR DAYS TOGETHER. ### 5/5 — Guys it’s not that bad *2026-07-09, version 1.14.3* guys it’s not that bad ### 5/5 — The actual program is great! *2026-06-06, version 1.14.2* Normally, people who are giving bad reviews for this app are doing it because they were mad with their test, not the actual app itself, which is very unfair for the program. ### 5/5 — Ace SAT!! *2026-05-11, version 1.14.2* This app is great! I am using it to help me ace and prepare for my SAT. Please don’t listen to all the haters that are spamming one star reviews! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
