### 3/5 — Dark mode

*2026-05-01, version 5.2.7*

Can set her a dark mode?

### 2/5 — Not available in Canada

*2024-01-26, version 5.2.6*

I need this for my human anatomy and physiology class but it’s not available where I am. How can I get it?

### 2/5 — Confusing Log in

*2024-01-21, version 5.2.6*

As a college student, I use Canvas for all assignments. I tried logging into my Canvas account (like the website said) and it still won’t let me in. How do I know if my school uses this program? We use Canvas and it says it supported. Maybe I’m just doing something wrong, but until it’s cleared up I don’t think I will be using this program.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2023-10-28, version 5.2.5*

Was good when I first got it, but then it doesn’t work, tells me I’ve reviewed everything and to wait til tomorrow which doesn’t come. 

Contacted customer support and they said just use the website, super inconvenient.

### 3/5 — App stop working

*2023-10-23, version 5.2.2*

The app was working perfectly fine until just recently now when I click the assignment the entire app closes and goes to my Home Screen

### 4/5 — Love it!!!

*2023-02-23, version 5.2.1*

I absolutely love using the app because it helps me study on the go. Just make sure to meet your deadlines on time!! You need to finish before the deadline because of how many reviews there are. It requires you to take a break which is needed. I would give it a 5 if everything was perfect. My only issue is the text-to-speech feature. Occasionally i have to look away or need help pronouncing a word. Only issue is it either pronounces really funny or really fast and it just sounds all jumbled up. Kind of like a robot for reference. Overall its an amazing app. Tbh i would give it a 4.5 if i could.

### 3/5 — great visual appearance but annoying UI

*2022-07-10, version 5.1.3*

Learning algorithm is great but the submit button often leads to wrong answers because its hitbox is way to small. Often one taps on submit but it presses the answer underneath too and it gets submitted. That is annoying because it irritates the learning algorithm way too much

### 4/5 — Some answers for the RHIT is wrong

*2022-07-09, version 5.1.3*

Some of the answers are wrong. Reach out to somebody 3 times.. nothing has been changed

### 4/5 — Review

*2021-12-13, version 5.0.95*

It’s great except for one thing. I use the text to speech quite a lot but sometimes it won’t work. For example, it will not allow the word to be spoken or it will say a bunch of gibberish. This is very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Too long

*2021-05-21, version 5.0.87*

Takes WAY too long to finish assignments I’ve spent everyday this week and still only at 81% completion. Also the mandatory breaks are way too long also you can only do the review once a day and have to wait so long to review again. I get you need repetitiveness and study breaks but this is too overboard

### 4/5 — Contradictory

*2021-04-05, version 5.0.86*

Take a break it says but I can jump into another chapter... hmmm

### 2/5 — I LOVED this app until...

*2021-03-26, version 5.0.86*

I was using this app to work on the Mastery portion of homework. I liked doing it on my phone because it made it quick and easy. I never ran into any problems for the first four weeks of school UNTIL last week when my app decided to randomly crash every time I click on the chapter I am wanting to review. Now every time I go to a chapter, BAM, app crashes. Even deleted the app and reinstalled it hoping that would fix the issue but still nothing. Such a bummer. It was an awesome app while it lasted. Keeping 2 stars just because this was a really great app and I hope developers can fix this issue.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — WORST APP OF MY LIFE

*2025-06-16, version 5.2.7*

I downloaded this app for my course statistics 101. Ever since I opened this app, my brain cells have depleted and I’ve been tormented. I haven’t been able to sleep because I’ve been constantly thinking about this ridiculous app and my assignments. One of the worst things I’ve experienced was the breaks that it forces me to take. After 20% completion on an assignment it makes me take an 8 hour break. Ridiculous. Never touching this again.

### 1/5 — TEACHERS AND PROFESSORS STOP USING THIS APP

*2024-09-26, version 5.2.6*

I’m so sick and tired of this stupid app. Some of us don’t have time to keep coming back multiple days in a row to do ONE assignment. I should be able to just get it done when I can. The fact that I have to sit here and wait 5 hours between each break and each break only gives me like 2-5 questions to review out of 30 SO I HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER 5 HOURS TO REVIEW 2-5 MORE AND EVEN WHEN GETTING THEM RIGHT STILL DOESNT GIVE ME MUCH PROGRESSION OR LET ME FINISH MY ASSIGNMENT IS REDICULOUS! I can’t check my app and continue an assignment every 5 hours. I have other responsibilities like a job, other classes, and chores.

### 1/5 — Interface on the web is malfunctional

*2024-07-11, version 5.2.6*

I couldnt create a new file on laptop or pc.

### 1/5 — App isn’t working

*2023-11-07, version 5.2.5*

It won’t let me work on any new chapters! I get a message saying I have started and reviewed everything, which is not true! This is unfortunate, because the app made it much easier to get studying done while taking care of my baby.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2023-09-28, version 5.2.2*

Crashes constantly on iOS 17

### 1/5 — Please do something

*2023-09-27, version 5.2.2*

Stopped working after last iOS update :(

### 1/5 — The time breaks

*2023-03-15, version 5.2.2*

This is a “refresher” class. It’s online. If I don’t want to break I shouldn’t be forced to. I’ve worked in the med field before. I don’t need or want these breaks and it’s consuming my time. I want it removed or optional. Why is it mandatory??

### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync?

*2023-01-16, version 5.1.18*

Overly complicated and doesn’t sync with the website. Your students will hate it and it will make them hate you.

### 1/5 — Good In concept terrible in execution

*2022-11-01, version 5.1.12*

Some people have kids and full time jobs. Not being able to complete the assignment in a couple days is terrible. I’ve been doing them every day at the suggested time and the module will go up by less than 5% sometimes. The time required to get 100% on a module is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Cerego is ruining my school experience

*2021-09-12, version 5.0.92*

It does not account for different learners.

I spent 6+ hours speaking to Cengage support until I finally received a copy of the manuals and watched every tutorial for how it was set up to actually understand how it’s formulated.

Number 1. The program itself while it seemed cool at first is a disaster. Tuesday I did 30 problems, all correct. It said to take a break but before I downloaded the app, I have no idea how long, based on what my professor told me it was 24 hours. I did not get another chance to log in until Friday. 30 questions all correct. This brought me to 81%

Number 2. No one seems to understand the actual reset time. 2PM Friday… It said I had to wait 2 days to try concepts again. I was told at maximum it would be 24 hours leading me to see no reason why I couldn’t complete this Saturday. Hours of support later… I let it go because Sunday is the due day, I would have still had time to do it before it was due at 11:55 PM.

Number 3. 2 days apparently doesn’t actually mean 2 days. I downloaded the app specifically to watch the countdown and be alerted so I could be sure to complete my work on time, and now I’m seeing that I will not be able to work on concepts again until 1:30AM Monday. Thanks for making my professor hate me because I constantly have to explain these inconsistencies.

Number 4. I was told I’d be able to complete this in 15-20 minutes over 2-3 days. Fine. But I already have a problem with anyone assuming I’m cramming because I work on one class at a time until completion… assigning one class each day throughout the week. I will mix up the information and will not absorb things the same way if I attempt to switch my concentration multiple times.

That is exactly why I chose online classes and handpicked ones in a way I could organize

Number 5. This program also doesn’t account for people who are disabled. I *have* to work the way I work because my mind and body will crash at a certain point. I need to have days designated to be sick. I’m already sick and on harsh medications, and I can only fight through it for so long. 

Number 6. The lack of specific consistency means I can’t accurately plan anything in my life. The algorithm is based on performance, so if one section I do great, it could force 2 days breaks or if another section I struggled with.. who knows? It’s unpredictable. It’s supposed to help, but it isn’t helpful, it’s literally making my favorite class that I feel confident in, absolutely miserable.

Number 7. The studies done to validating this algorithm are questionable.
