Basically useless. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t function properly *2024-10-01* Allows you to study the flash cards, watch the on demands, and take exams, but the study manual doesn’t work and there’s no easy access to get to the quiz section (you have to go into “My scores” to get access and even then it’s buggy sometimes). Using the official website is a better idea for getting the full experience. It’s okay on the go if your connection is strong and want to go over the flash cards or video but don’t expect to be able to read the study manual. ### 2/5 — The Study Manual won’t load! *2023-10-17* There’s no access to the study manual, it just takes me to a loading screen. ### 2/5 — You cannot do Exams via the mobile app for some reason. really limits it’s functionality on the go *2023-08-10* me reason. really limits it’s functionality on the go ### 1/5 — Cannot Open Exam *2022-06-12* I am able to download and login to the app, without issue. However, when I go to take my exam the app immediately closes. This is extremely inconvenient. ### 1/5 — Offline *2022-02-09, version 11* Should add offline feature so you can practice flash cards etc. when not in cellular range. ### 1/5 — test exams and flash cards stopped working *2021-09-17, version 10* completely useless app. better off studying without it, spare yourself the frustration. won’t let me access flash cards or exams & keeps kicking me out of app requiring a new login. how hard can this be stc… ### 1/5 — Non working features *2021-04-23, version 10* The app provides the basics. Can’t see or get crunch time facts or overall section grades. If you want an app to use that can get you the basics, it’s ok. If you want an app that can help you learn what chapters you need to work on or look at crunch time info, then I’d give it 0/5. Could be so much better and they could make a huge impact. They need to hire someone to help manage their IT program and apps! ### 1/5 — Love the program, hate the app *2021-04-17, version 10* When taking final exams through the iPhone app, you can’t hit next to proceed through the questions. You have to exit then go back in between each question. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Flash Cards Broken - Please Fix *2021-04-04, version 10* Apple IPhone - IOS 14.4. Can’t see answers to flash cards. Get a blank screen when flipping cards over. Please fix ### 1/5 — App does not work *2021-03-29* Flash cards for SIE and series 57 don’t really work. First time leaving a review for an app because it’s the first time in years I have had an app completely fail at its intended purpose ### 4/5 — Good app that does the job, but updates are need *2021-03-28, version 10* Flashcards have recently started not working. You get a glitch when flipping the cards and only shows blank white screen when flipping. Best way to fix temporarily is resetting iPhone and then reopening the app, that fixes it temporarily for recent session, but next time you’ll have to reset phone again to get flashcards to work. Updates are needed and hopefully will be coming soon! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-10-04, version 11.1* Can’t view tests ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-09-10* I cannot download and study the material. It’s constantly buffering. ### 1/5 — Customer support is the worst *2024-08-08* In the line for over an hour for one question. If you are looking for customer support go somewhere else. Really no excuse to have to wait a few hours for one question ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-07-26, version 11.1* The study manual will never load. ### 1/5 — No access past log in *2024-04-19* App crashes whenever you try to access the course ### 1/5 — Study manual will not load *2023-12-04, version 11.1* Manuals will not load and exams crash. Contacted company and there is no solution in future. ### 1/5 — key feature does not work *2023-10-19* Exam Center does not work on the app. all the other sections will open, but not the practice tests ### 1/5 — Needs downloads and audio only *2023-06-26* The apps need to offer download option and audio only training. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2022-12-07* Unable to open the content. ### 1/5 — Series 65 *2022-07-11* Material is redundant. Does not apply to the actual exam . Unable to print out the test exams. This used to be the be the premier study guide and material . Acess to the web site now expires in 6 months vs a year as before . Always used them never ever again. Useless. Don’t buy ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helped me pass the 52 *2025-04-20* Was able to use this to study for the 52 and I passed it in three weeks time. ### 5/5 — Great study material *2023-09-15* A truly good program for passing your exam. It provides all the information needed to pass - and the on-demands help teach the important concepts. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Helpful Study Tool *2022-10-08* The app works well and allows me to access all the resources I need to study. Really appreciate the mini-player feature for lectures. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2022-03-27* I used STC to prep for the SIE, Series 6, and Series 63 and passed each exam on the first try. This program definitely prepares you to pass an exam. I highly recommend using this program for your test preparation! ### 5/5 — Passed my Series 24 exam *2022-03-25* The app works well the diagnostics and tests are really good. I can’t really complain because I just passed my test the one thing I couldn’t really get to work was the exams on the mobile app. But it’s fine cause I was really found the flash cards useful on the app. I wish I was able to download the flashcards onto the app and not need an Internet connection it made it a little difficult to use the flashcards while on the subway. Would still recommend! The crunch time sheet was super helpful make sure you use that as well. ### 5/5 — New app and updated features *2022-02-18* This is a great improvement. I am able to see everything I have and can access on my computer at work. ### 5/5 — Passed my Series 7 *2022-02-18* Great content. Easy to navigate. Thanks STC. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2020-02-01, version 10* I love the app. Works great for me! ### 5/5 — Great study tool *2018-01-18, version 3.2* I like the exams by topic Easy to study on the run Great job I passed my 7 ### 5/5 — Study Anywhere! *2017-11-22, version 3.1* I am on the go all the time and find it hard to fit studying in. This app goes with me everywhere and allows me to fill downtime with study time. I bought the flash cards to increase my chances of retaining the learning, and I would recommend them to everyone! I go through the flash cards and take a by topic test and do very well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
