Not worth the cost given few courses will be relevant
Edit:
The AI support tool frequently results in a blank white screen and the only solution is to force close the app. When that happens you lose the conversation either the AI tool and your progress on the exercise it was part of.
Original:
Individual (short) courses and lessons are (mostly but not always) well-designed. If you could purchase individual courses, a bunch of them might really be worth it.
But, for a subscription service, especially if paying annually, you’ll be paying a collection of courses out of which only a couple will be relevant.
For a primary school kid struggling with basic arithmetic, there are a couple of decent courses. Nothing else will be relevant for years.
For a high schooler struggling with algebra, there’ll be a course or two that might help (probably requiring a bit of support).
For a school student doing as expected or better, there won’t be much of relevance at all. It mostly makes abstract concepts seem concrete by using visual representations - if you can handle the abstract, the app offers little.
For an adults and young adults interested in a specialist topic or two, you might find something interesting. For example, you might get a popular science style overview of how Search Engines work or about Quantum Computing. But, there won’t be much else of value.
Maybe if you have a month off school or work and you subscribe just for a month to year through a few courses, it might be good value.

Thanks for the feedback. We’ll pass along your concerns about the range and depth of courses. If the AI tutor shows a blank screen again, please shake your device to submit a bug report so we can take a closer look.
Great app with niggling issues
The design concept and execution of exercises with in the app are generally excellent as well as intuitive, encouraging the user to stick to lessons and progress with knowledge building. Review would be 5 stars, however the interface has persistent niggling issues in some areas such as function buttons needed to answer exercise questions being drawn partially or completely off-screen which prevents completion of the exercise question. Having said that, the development team has provided a very accessible bug reporting system embedded in each exercise so users can easily flag issues such as that described above.

We’re glad you’re enjoying the design and progression of the lessons! We appreciate you flagging the interface issues, and it’s great to hear the built-in bug reporting makes them easy to share. Our team will keep working to improve the experience. Happy learning!
Better than a game!
This is like a challenge game that you actually learn something!
Great Learning App
I love the app. It flows and functions well. Wish the standard learning rate was 4 lessons rather than 2 concerning there are so many lessons. I believe this would help keep others using the app rather than realizing it will take them a huge expected amount of time to complete the learning path and just quit the app. Unless of course you just pay premium but rather not add to the subscription and expense list honestly

Learning lots
