If this was added, this application for learning would be perfect 🤩 ### 3/5 — Go back to the old days💔 *2026-09-03, version 10.4.3* I used brilliant to study for my state test and I could do as many lessons as I could in a day but now it’s only once a day and I wanted to use it to study for my test🥲 but it’s still a great app maybe just a little money hungry now ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-09-03, version 10.4.2* If I've chosen to be on the free plan let me be ### 2/5 — Lots of issues. *2026-09-03, version 10.4.2* It really has good information but it’s very expensive considering how many bugs it has. It’s almost like a beta test sometimes. And after just a few lessons, it starts freezing up because it overheats my phone. I’ve never seen any other app do that. ### 2/5 — Would love to use *2026-09-02, version 10.4.2* Cannot give a real review due to not giving me the ability to create an account. I’ve tried Facebook, Google and Apple login. None work. Not my internet, or phone. Other apps and websites work. ### 3/5 — expensive but lessons are 7/10 at best *2026-09-01, version 10.4.2* you need plan and it is expensive it is about 300$ a year for premium and you need it for doing more than 2 lessons a day. if you are willing to pay it’s a pretty good app. ### 3/5 — sooo glitchy *2026-09-01, version 10.4.2* brilliant is a good learning device but it crashes out a LOT and whenever you submit your final answer it sais reload which destroys all of your hard work. ### 5/5 — Best coding and maths game *2026-08-30, version 10.4.2* This was amazing it helped so well I totally recommend this game it’s like your own personal helper ### 5/5 — 진짜 꿀잼 *2026-08-30* 진짜 개꿀잼 요새 게임 접고 이것만 하는중 ### 2/5 — Truly false advertising *2026-08-29, version 10.4.2* The app is overall. However, as I was going through a lesson, I was advertised to that if I subscribed for a premium membership, I would be offered access to tutoring. I paid for a subscription and upon clicking the tutoring button was informed that tutoring will be coming soon… I believe Apple should address this type of false advertising to maintain the App Store’s high standards. ### 4/5 — Great app! But horrible at the same time *2026-08-29, version 10.4.2* Great app! Don’t get me wrong. The only issue is that it gets the phone HOT! Like VERY hot, it also gets laggy VERY quickly because of its heat. I think it just has poor optimization or something. For reference, I’m using an IPhone 15 pro! ### 4/5 — PREMUIM *2026-08-29, version 10.4.2* Okay it has a helper person that you click and it is engaging but there are technechal issues sometimes with logging in and the tools ### 3/5 — Paywall a day. *2026-08-28, version 10.4.1* Could probably just hire a human tutor and pay less for more learning. Otherwise it’s marginally better than going on Facebook and following Socratic based courses. Please tell me you have multimedia capacity if you actually pay money for this, it can’t possibly just all be cartoon models. ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-08-28, version 10.4.1* Amazing so fun to learn new things! The little green tutor is amazing and very easy to work with can help you and walk you through any problem and is truly brilliant ### 4/5 — Brilliant is quiet brilliant *2026-08-27, version 10.4.1* I really love this app, it’s amazing for learning and can be really addictive for a learning app, the only problem I find is that it tries to create dopamine which instead of making you want to learn more makes you more distracted but it’s good in every other way (also it costs money which is minus the other half-star) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Gen Ai *2026-08-31, version 10.4.2* Get rid of the llm “tutor” and we can talk. ### 1/5 — THEY DONT PROVIDE REFUNDS *2026-08-31, version 10.4.2* This company did not send me an email letting me know my account was going to be renewed in advance. I received an email the day after I was charged saying my subscription was renewed. I contacted them that same day a day after the subscription was renewed and I was told they don’t offer refunds. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-30, version 10.4.2* the app is pretty cool. but not having a monthly option for premium is very weird. This app is not worth 200 dollars out of pocket ### 1/5 — didn’t send signup email extremely frustrating *2026-08-29, version 10.4.2* Failed at being brilliant ### 1/5 — Old free plan was way better *2026-08-25, version 10.4.1* Used to be so good, but now everything is paid except for just 2 lessons a and as a student it sucks ### 1/5 — Make it free *2026-08-24, version 10.4.1* Should not cost money for education ### 1/5 — Subscription scam *2026-08-19, version 10.4.0* Only a front for surprising you with a non refundable rebill. No warning, no preauthorization. ### 1/5 — App Crashed *2026-08-19, version 10.4.0* Be careful when you get an offer for a 7-day free trial. The app crashed and charged me for the whole year without even letting me try it first. When I contacted support — both the app’s and Apple’s — no one was willing to give me a refund, even though it wasn’t my fault. I lost $200. I don’t want anyone else to go through the same thing, because unfortunately, no one wants to offer a solution for something you didn’t even get to try. ### 1/5 — Absolute scam! *2026-08-17, version 10.4.0* I had a free trial for this app that I downloaded through the App Store. I canceled through the App Store (subscriptions page on my iPhone) as well before the trial period had run out but then found out I was charged the full year fee 264$! As it turns out, you have to cancel through the app and they absolutely will not refund so be careful!! ### 1/5 — Pls free is mid but make premium free! *2026-08-13, version 10.4.0* Boring like its in the title? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 👍👍👍Best thing ever *2026-09-04, version 10.4.3* I’m going to be the smartest guy in school thanks to this app ### 5/5 — Great learning tool *2026-09-04, version 10.4.3* I have only been on this app for about 5 days and it is awesome, i suggest premium because it’s not that expensive and it helps a ton. It’s just overall great, I would highly recommend this app for kids or teenagers who want to be excelled in their learning journey. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-09-03, version 10.4.2* Good for helping people who want to make games ### 5/5 — It’s a need to tutor *2026-09-03, version 10.4.2* Brilliant is the best app ever for learning anything math related! I recommend getting premium too!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-09-03, version 10.4.2* It made learning fun ### 5/5 — Tittle *2026-09-02, version 10.4.2* This is fun and so much better than IXL ### 5/5 — it was great *2026-09-02, version 10.4.2* great but asked me to rate it in-app and when i pressed it; it did nothing. 😂 ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-09-01, version 10.4.2* You need to make one for college students in sciences! (Biology, Organic Chemistry, etc)!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-31, version 10.4.2* Even the free tier is really helpful and fun ### 5/5 — My Daily Routine *2026-08-30, version 10.4.2* I retired in May 2025 and started using Brilliant every day shortly afterwards. I feel like it keeps me sharp and teaches me new skills. The bite size lessons can be finished quickly if I’m busy that day and can be stacked on each other if I have plenty of time. I’m very satisfied. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
