This app is brilliant, see what I did there

On a more serious note this app is amazing to learn a new skill and you don’t have to buy premium it is completely optional

Pls free is mid but make premium free!

Boring like its in the title?

Truly brilliant!

For learning, Brilliant just works.

Could you add Java coding?

I like the app, but I would currently like to learn Java! Thanks :)

Stupid

Takes you through this whole scene before asking for data before letting you learn. Locked up slop

Stupid

The app keeps crashing and imposes a limit to the messages/questions I can ask when I need additional explanation of a concept

5 minutes of “Learning”

I seriously didn’t get to use the app for more than 10 total minutes between signing up and the ads and the “learning” and I am out of free learning for the day? Hilarious.

Very good but expensive

Lots to go at and well designed but expensive

Great for learning new things and being ahead!

Ok, so I got this app in hopes to be ahead in my classes, and oh my gosh this was way better than my expectations. This app makes learning math actually fun, I feel engaged and accomplished after I do something correctly! As someone who used to hate math, this app completely changed my point of view. I will say, while doing the variable courses, the blocks and shapes were confusing at first. Because they are so simple, I couldn’t tell what operation it wanted me to do, as the blocks represent numbers and variables. The blocks don’t really indicate what I was really meant to do in other words. It also placed me on lessons I already knew much about, and it kinda annoys me how I have to review old material for ages just to learn new things. I think maybe adding a test system to skip ahead or perhaps improving the beginning “trial” to be more thorough and accurate would solve this issue. Maybe taking inspo from the IXL arena could be very beneficial to new users. Other than that, I love this app,and hope to use this often in the future!

Response from developer

We love hearing that Brilliant has changed the way you feel about math! It’s especially great to know you’re feeling engaged and accomplished as you learn. We also appreciate your detailed feedback about the variable blocks and finding the right starting level. We’ll share your suggestions for clearer visuals and better ways to move past familiar material with our team. Happy learning!

Awesome App, However..

I think the app is amazing! I’m an incoming college freshman for my unis spring semester and honestly i think this a brilliant way to retain high school skill throughout free time. however, i think that 1 lesson per day kind of effects how some keep consistency with lessons. maybe, per lesson you do you can develop more keys for more lessons! personally, like doing multiple lessons per day and i know people who are just like me! i think if we figure out a way to do more than just one lesson per day this apps sales/downloads would increase TREMENDOUSLY! overall, very smart app. I love it but it could use some fixings.

Good resource, but…

The app automatically increases my volume and I think that is unnecessary. Otherwise it’s a good learning resource.

Love this app

This makes it so easy to study for school, highly recommend as a learning app

It’s a real and useful tools for my boy

Can not find a better sentence to describe but it is the most ever powerful AI learning app for children!

Train the Brain

I wasn’t sure how I would’ve felt trying just another app to keep my mind sharp, but I thoroughly enjoy using it. I feel it could be worth it in price (more than but I’ll afford what I can 😅)

Easy to understand

Excellent teaching

Blah

It’s goo

White screen

Screen just goes blank and must be shut down when progressing or even trying to log in.

Accessibility Barrier: Misleading Visual Puzzle Rules

The visual fraction puzzles are an accessibility nightmare for neurodivergent learners. Asking someone to "Color 1/2 of the shape" on a grid composed of unequal block sizes without explicit instructions forces users to guess whether to count boxes or calculate area. Neurodivergent people who process visual layout literally are left struggling. You need to provide proper instructions or visual grid overlays to fix this. Please respond with how your team plans to address this accessibility barrier.

dyslexic

If you have a hard time doing math or your dyslexic this app helps a lot and you can find the things you need to work on

Spotty Assistance

Sometimes the tutor bot writes nonsense in the chat box and it's infuriating. Also the way it teaches is odd? I get the importance of learning different ways to do things however hard to learn when the box isnt working.
