### 1/5 — My life is ruined!

*2024-11-06, version 5.1*

Horrendous…….now Examplify needs ios16 to even work. Very inconsiderate of the poor common folk.

### 1/5 — Customer support non existent

*2024-09-18, version 5.1*

This app deleted a quiz I was going to take and now I cannot.

### 1/5 — Horrible experience, horrible customer service

*2024-09-18, version 5.1*

The app uploaded my answer file as “corrupt” so it cost me both my grade in MED SCHOOL, and a long time on the phone with customer service who just read the same things I was sent in email. Additionally they had to look up answers for every question I sent and were incredibly hard to understand. It cost me several hours on the phone over 3-4 days just to make no progress. I would not wish this level of service on my worst enemy. HORRIBLE, AVOID AT ALL COST.

### 1/5 — App does not show all schools

*2024-07-18, version 5.1*

My school is not available on the iPad version, only the desktop version. Such a silly problem, and should be extremely easy to fix, yet apparently this issue dates back nearly a decade.

### 1/5 — Dumbest app I’ve ever used

*2024-05-23, version 5.1*

It works ok on an iPad, but I could not enter the app using a laptop. Told me that it couldn’t work on a device with arms processors, but my laptop doesn’t have that and I could never open the app on my computer.

### 1/5 — Do not download

*2024-05-22, version 5.1*

This app got me kicked out of school

### 1/5 — Messed up my quiz time

*2024-02-08, version 5.0*

Super ridiculous.

### 1/5 — So many issues

*2024-02-05, version 5.0*

I had so much trouble talking exams for school and I could not even log in on other devices to fix the issue. My university accommodated but it was still an inconvenience.

### 1/5 — This app is not supporting the latest apple os

*2023-10-11, version 5.0*

This app has failed to support iOS 17 and is worthless on new apple devices. This is a neglectful approach to take with a software required by many schools.

### 2/5 — iPad Crashes

*2023-10-10, version 5.0*

Every time I try to take an exam on this app, the app crashes and I need to restart my iPad every time.

### 2/5 — Needs a fix for free answer questions on Secure Exams

*2023-10-09, version 5.0*

I have just recently started using examplify on my iPad and found it great for the first few exams I took. However I took my first “type in your answer” question last week and it caused the app to crash instantly as soon as I tapped the box. I had to get the resume code from my instructor and had issues even putting that in. Not only that, when the app crashes, it no longer will remove the assessment mode lock down so you need to force restart your ipad to get the wifi back on so you can upload. Overall not a great app for fill in the blank, no other issues Ive found yet.

### 1/5 — Dog water

*2023-08-22, version 4.9*

Idrk, I haven’t actually used the app but it seems like dog water.

### 1/5 — Glitch/Crash

*2023-06-25, version 4.9*

The app glitched out and froze my entire iPad during an exam. Then, after restarting my iPad, I can no longer open up the app without it crashing. I hope this gets fixed fast

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-06-02, version 4.9*

>:(

### 1/5 — Schools need to stop using this app

*2023-04-19, version 4.9*

If I could give this a zero I would. This app is so bad for taking test on. Schools need to find a better a seriously. Is so hard to make a test. Can’t make math test on here.

### 1/5 — Nonstop problems

*2023-04-08, version 4.9*

Exams not populating, I have to reset my password every single exam, having to constantly work with my professor to reload the exams on exam day, cutting into my exam time. Do not recommend if you are a school look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — I can't believe schools pay to use this service

*2023-04-03, version 4.9*

I have never seen a website struggle so hard to accomplish a successful login. It's a game of random chance trying to get anything to work. Sometimes it works for no reason and most of the time you'll have to try again another day just to get on the website to read your score. I can only imagine this started as a prank on higher education and then administrations actually started paying for it.  God have mercy on your soul if you're forced to use it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worst program ever, give me my student money back

*2025-12-12, version 5.4.1*

This program is the worst thing ever, and who ever designed it failed  everything. No upload option after exam has been taken, IT about as helpful as a wet noodle. Please university do not use this program and demand your funds back. They have scammed you.

### 1/5 — Almost didn’t get into MEDICAL school because of Examplify

*2025-11-14, version 5.4.1*

This is the only app I ever write review for, but I will give my feedback.

This app glitched and randomized my answers for most important exam that was determining my whole life, getting into medical school.

Thanks to faculty member I was able to do whole exam ON PAPER again and still pass.

Also, I see people constantly lose their grades due to app not uploading exam/quiz due to lack of WiFi. Ok, then maybe upload it once WiFi reconnects in 1 minute while iPad is still opened instead of finding out it didn’t in 3 days? 

What are all of those updates for? I need reliable app that simply works without extra bells and whistles.

Awful, just simply disgusting. I despise this product.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-09-24, version 5.4*

Horrible

### 1/5 — i dont like you

*2025-09-16, version 5.4*

i keep getting 0

### 1/5 — My school is not showing up

*2025-05-16, version 5.3*

Can you help me please my instituition id is not showing up. I tried uninstalling it and installing back. But it wont work.

### 1/5 — Thanks for nothing

*2025-04-14, version 5.3*

If you can’t stand behind your product, don’t make our lives miserable at our own expense. Can hardly do anything right. Customer service was a complete joke

### 1/5 — Is making my life miserable until graduation

*2025-02-26, version 5.3*

Wasted hours upon hours that I could’ve used to study so I don’t fail in life.

### 1/5 — Subpar

*2025-01-16, version 5.3*

Beyond being an application that the very name of invokes chills down my spine, it is a poorly built and maintained app with a plethora of bugs and issues. There have been multiple occasions where I have had to delete and redownload the app to access assessments as well as needing to constantly monitor updates. The professor view is just as poorly designed and leaves much to be desired. Any university/program that is thinking of using this app would be making a substantial error. I would highly recommend exploring other options that are programmed by someone with a frontal lobe.

### 1/5 — Recent update BROKE MY IPAD

*2024-11-12, version 5.2*

recent update crashes my iPad when trying to review test, also can’t even swipe from top right corner when out of app anymore. Everyone in my class is having the same problem please fix immediately. Even when outside of app can’t use iPad to access brightness or air plane mode.

### 1/5 — I failed my exam

*2024-11-07, version 5.2*

I failed my exam

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — I don’t Understand the Bad Reviews

*2019-10-22, version 3.8.1*

This app is supper optimized for my tablet and I even get a more smooth experience from it than my own laptop.

### 4/5 — Great, but there are missing elements

*2024-07-29, version 5.1*

It's missing elements that the desktop version has, like exam history and being able to see your scores. Really inconvenient.

### 4/5 — Issues since update

*2023-04-16, version 4.9*

I love examsoft but ever since the update, it does not work on my iPad. The app tells me that I am not in airplane mode, but I am. Please fix this!!

### 4/5 — Well designed

*2023-04-11, version 4.9*

One new update made the calculator useable! There are still QoL problems like autofilling the last answer whenever a math operator is pressed after a result, instead of giving a invalid input.
Sometimes the app crashes, which causes some undue heart attacks.

### 4/5 — Just one little thing

*2020-08-09, version 3.9.3*

I like your app. It’s simple and professional. What annoyed me is the inability to highlight MCQs . It used to work perfectly when I did my exams on pc or laptop. Fix it please ASAP before my exam comes 😢

### 4/5 — Its been good for me

*2020-04-26*

I don't know why there are so many negative reviews. As a student I've had mostly good experiences taking exams on examsoft. I started using it 2 years ago and at first there were some issues with highlighting but it has been perfect since that got fixed. My only suggestion would be to be able to download the results doc from the app and not have to go online.

### 4/5 — Please add highlighting feature and zoomed in buttons

*2018-01-24, version 3.2.0*

To the bar beside the calculator on the iPad or improve highlighting ability on iPad. Otherwise great app.

### 4/5 — Stable, but needs improvements.

*2017-09-17*

Works well, good functionality, easy to use.

Some easy fixes that would vastly improve it? Put completed assessments at the bottom, not the top. For failed assessment uploads (say, missed upload deadline) eventually have it "time out" and stop giving an error message every time. I've had to delete the app and reinstall it several times to circumvent this frustration. 

Otherwise, solid.

### 3/5 — Capitalization madness

*2020-11-23, version 4.1.1*

When free typing an answer, the App capitalizes each letter after you backspace. Drives me nuts and makes my timed writing assignments look awful and unprofessional.

### 3/5 — New Interface

*2019-02-06*

We use this app all the time at our school for Exams/Quizzes. The new interface is okay, but the old color scheme was WAY better. The new color scheme is kind of difficult to see/differentiate. 

Honestly, this app has a crazy amount of potential for being great, but they really need to invest more time/money into developing a more user-friendly interface that is simple, efficient, and functional for everyday testing use. 

It would also be incredible if the test results or file could be downloaded and imported from this app rather than go to an online link to access this. Obviously they instructor can choose to release these files or not.
