Now, every time I open the app I can’t proceed to do any questions at all. I’m stuck in a blank screen with the buttons on the side. I haven’t gotten a response in the span of a few days but hopefully this gets resolved. ### 4/5 — Dolphin SAT *2026-06-25, version 1.1.5* This app took my money whenever I downloaded. ### 4/5 — Instagram but SAT *2026-06-10, version 1.1.5* This is perfect for just raw practicing. It has a social media feel to it because you just keep scrolling question after question. Your progress also gets automatically recorded, so you don’t even need to take a diagnostic from time to time. I don’t think at the moment this app will boost you up to 1500, but if you’re on the go and itching to practice, instead of scrolling through reels, scroll through practice problems instead! ### 5/5 — EPIC *2026-06-06, version 1.1.5* It made me feel more prepared for my test. I definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — BEAUTIFUL *2026-06-06, version 1.1.5* helped me SO much with the SAT like honestly life saving ### 5/5 — busy student who can't finish sat prep *2026-06-06, version 1.1.5* i'm quite a busy student and between finishing school work and doing extracurriculars, i usually don't have time to practice for the SAT. i'm glad dolphin is available because without it, i don't think i'd ever pactice for the sat. ### 5/5 — Good Prep! *2026-06-06, version 1.1.5* I just started using this app a couple of weeks before the June SAT. It’s very helpful in both explanations and exposure. I’ve seen new words, questions, and ideas presented in the app. They also have targeted practice, which is really useful for someone who doesn’t know where to start after the first practice test. Overall, I totally recommend! ### 5/5 — Very good and helpful *2026-06-05, version 1.1.5* Rw score didn’t budge but math score went from 750 to 790. Thank you 😊 ### 5/5 — Best Free SAT Resource *2026-06-05, version 1.1.5* Bro the best free resource I used so far, love that’s it’s easy to access and on my phone! ### 5/5 — Great resource! *2026-06-04, version 1.1.5* This is a completely free app which is rare in these days and has a wide variety of practice questions that closely mimic the test. It has been great in helping me understand and learn concepts. I’m excited to try its ACT prep as well! ### 5/5 — Super helpful *2026-06-03, version 1.1.4* Good variety of questions and the ability to tailor to your specific weak points is great ### 5/5 — goated app *2026-06-03, version 1.1.4* keep this free please. high school students can't afford most SAT prep materials, so free study tools like Dolphin are a blessing for us🥺 ### 5/5 — This app is great *2026-06-01, version 1.1.4* Not only does this app help you prep for the SAT and ACT. It is FREE! They provide all the tools you need like the SAT and their problems are challenging are specific to what you need help with. This app also gives you a study plan to help you reach your desired score. This helps significantly bring my score up. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-06-01, version 1.1.4* Extremely helpful, effective, and free! ### 5/5 — THE BEST *2026-06-01, version 1.1.4* Best SAT study app ever boosted my score 100 points and that’s with only studying for 2 days! ### 5/5 — Love love love! *2026-06-01, version 1.1.4* Love how it helps put you on the right track for free! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — technical difficulties *2026-08-14, version 1.1.6* I was pressing buttons , it kept saying it was unable to send codes to my phone , press question answers, or just be on the app period. Fix this. ### 1/5 — CREEPY NOTIFICATIONS. BE CAREFUL. *2026-06-08, version 1.1.5* I got a notification at 12am saying “I’m outside. open the app. let me in” EXTREMELY CREEPY. why send weird messages out to users like this especially at late times? such a weird thing to say.. especially if it’s just a “study reminder”.. please be careful downloading this app, i’m worried it has access to your information!! my heart sunk when i read it! ### 1/5 — Functionality of app *2026-04-11* App doesn’t work well. Lots of glitches, parts that don’t work. Examples: Question will ask function of underlined sentence and nothing is underlined. No tips on how to answer. Only able to read first line of answer choice. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-04-08* It is very obvious that this is an ai slop app. Not a single bit of actual work was put into this by a person. Questions are written by Ai and are written wrong not making sense and when they are they give a wrong answer majority of the time. Then if you actually do get the question wrong and try to learn why, it gives you an explanation for a completely different thing. 30% of the time I do a math question and get it wrong, it then gives me an explanation to a language arts question? **Developer response:** Hey Randy, I feel the frustration, I really do. I want to assure you that we have poured in so much time in this project and that we are dedicated to solving the problems of learning, including making Dolphin feel smoother. We have made a lot of new changes, addressing the question errors, making the explanations correct, and full reduction in bugs. Would mean a lot if you gave us another chance! -Daniel ### 1/5 — app functionality *2026-04-06* i heard good things about this app from my friends and decided to download it. It had good SAT questions but the functionality of the app was horrible. it would make my phone freeze several times and in the beginning, it was very hard trying to find the practice questions. **Developer response:** hey, really sorry about the freezing and the confusing navigation early on, that's not the experience we want. we've been heads down fixing performance and a proper update is rolling out this week. thanks for sticking with it and for the honest feedback, seriously means a lot. also, big things coming soon: vocab, a full redesign, and custom feeds where you pick any topic anytime 👀 ### 1/5 — Functionality of app *2026-03-16* App doesn’t work well. Lots of glitches, parts that don’t work. Examples: Question will ask function of underlined sentence and nothing is underlined. No tips on how to answer. Only able to read first line of answer choice. ### 1/5 — Refuses my sign in *2026-03-15* No matter what username or phone number I try the sign up process denies my entry saying it’s already taken even the suggestions are invalid at the end. **Developer response:** Hi there, we're really sorry about the signup issues you ran into. We've addressed this in our latest update, we would love for you to give us another try! ### 2/5 — Login issues *2026-05-22, version 1.1.4* I was really excited to use this app, but every time I try to make an account, it says my username or phone number is taken. When I try to log in, my phone number isn't registered, and I've tried over 10 usernames, so I don't know what the issue is. ### 2/5 — Good, but reading is difficult *2026-05-06, version 1.1.4* I really like this app, super helpful. But, there is this huge problem of reading the questions. In graph and data interpretation problems, a common issue I had was not being able to scroll down and read the question. Another issue I found was that the text would be the same color as the background and be difficult to read. Overall, it’s good when you can actually use it ### 2/5 — Technical Issues *2026-03-11* It’s a good app and I want to use it but I can’t. It says to swipe up to go to next question, yet it doesn’t let me. Sometimes it changes it to day or night and then when i intentionally try to change it to day or night it doesn’t work. I can’t go to new questions ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to get obsessed with, allows you to see your own stats as a “video game character”, good. *2026-08-18, version 1.1.6* I’m a nerd, and this app works.
