### 1/5 — Get a bad grade

*2023-11-05, version 1.2.2*

This apps helps students cheat but it’s so badly done that students will still get a bad grade if they use the content in this app. The essays have inaccurate plot summaries and are badly written.

### 1/5 — Leftist Indoctrination

*2021-01-05, version 1.2.2*

Here is a sample of the leftist review of the movie Jaws. Complete wackos

The Critique of Capitalism 
The most pervasive theme running through Jaws is its indictment of capitalist ideology. The villain of the movie, after all, is not the shark but the Mayor of Amity Island, whose decision to keep the beaches open is not just tragic but tragically political. It is entirely a political decision that places the interests of the island’s business owners ahead of the safety of its consumers. The fear of losing precious profits from the 4th of July holiday crowd ultimately winds up biting the Mayor on his behind and, ironically, costing him far more than if he had simply done the right thing.
Gender Roles
Make no mistake about it: Jaws does far more than merely suggest that protection and security of the population is a man’s man’s job. Martin Brody is the Sheriff and his deputy is a man who seems underqualified for the job at the very least. When it comes time to catch the shark and kill the shark and save the day, there is a ratio of three men to zero woman among those charged with the task. As indicated, the Mayor’s job is to protect the island’s revenue stream. Mrs. Brody is a supportive and clearly intelligent woman, but serves the primary purpose of domestic affairs. Mrs. Taft, the councilwoman with the glasses, is shrill and visibly blanches at the mere sound of nails scraping across a chalkboard. Those nails, by contrast, can be found on the ultimate symbol of masculinity: Quint, the gruff, tough survivor of one of the most horrific Naval disaster in history and a man whose shop is adorned with the bones of his victories over the perfect predator.

### 3/5 — Great but one thing

*2020-05-20, version 1.2.2*

I had this app for over a year now and it helps when I need a summary but I prefer not to buy the subscription but it is the only way I get all the content I need but I don’t wanna pay for it so I do recommend it if you are willing to pay money

### 3/5 — HELP

*2019-10-05, version 1.2.2*

Can you please add the book “And The Mountains Echoed” by the 12th I really need it and I will up my review to a 5 star afterwards please and thanks

### 1/5 — This is useless

*2019-08-08, version 1.2.2*

I downloaded the app thinking it was going to help but it has some books and it does nothing, only has summaries, if you want more features you must subscribe and pay every month 
To sum up : Don't Download It its crap

### 1/5 — When I open Quiz It will automatically closes so please solve my issue

*2019-06-05, version 1.2.2*

When I open Quiz It will automatically closes so please solve my issue

### 5/5 — It’s great but

*2019-05-02, version 1.2.2*

The app is great don’t get me wrong but it doesn’t have every book/film we need which is ok because of all the stuff there is will be for seniors and juniors not freshman and below

### 1/5 — A horrible app that’s thirsty for money

*2019-01-13, version 1.2.2*

This app is horrible because you would have to pay for the chapters to get the answers. It’s better off searching the questions/answers for free on google

### 5/5 — OMG OMG

*2018-08-19, version 1.2.2*

Literally I procrastinated SO MUCH for this essay I had due. LEMME TELL YOU. Biggest.life.saver.ever. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND. It’s literally 11:41, my essay was due at 11:30, AND I GOT IT IN THANKS TO THIS APP. Literally I can’t right now, this app saved my frikin life, it was a godsend. GET THIS APP RIGHT NOW. If I could give it 204729 more stars I REALLY WOULD

### 4/5 — Awesome app but....

*2017-12-23, version 1.2.1*

I got a new device and now cannot access my subscription.  Also, the more advanced features are an at website purchase and separate from the yearly subscription for the app.
