### 4/5 — Full application not released after purchase.

*2021-10-25*

Even after purchasing full app I was unable to access the locked portion of study material on my I-pad.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2020-02-22*

Es una aplicación bastante completa, los retos que deben resolverse, están analizados exhaustivamente, hasta las jugadas débiles o malas son verificadas demostrando el error. La recomiendo comprar completa. Es una lástima que por el asedio de las medidas económicas del gobierno de Trump no podamos comprarla en Venezuela.
