Videos speed
The app has the same content as the website and both are instantly synchronized but the speed of the videos on the app cannot be changed (I can select another number but it does not change the speed). On the website it works.
Playback speed does not work
The playback speed does not work!!!
Missing word definitions and unintuitive interface
The app is OK overall; however, it could be significantly improved with a few UI/UX changes.
1. Some of the verbal questions offered definitions for the words, but others do not. It would be great if all such questions defined the vocabulary words in the answer choices.
2. I clicked the linked definition of a word which sent me to an Internet dictionary. I then could not return to the app without restarting it, thereby losing my place in the questions. There should be an obvious way to return back to the app from the online dictionary.
3. Similar to the above, there is an exit button where there would typically be a back button. Pressing this button will send you back to the main app homepage rather than the previous screen. I think such a button should be in a different location and should have a Home icon rather than an X icon to prevent accidental exits from the study questions.
4. I’ve yet to figure out how to review flagged or previously missed questions; I think there might be a filter for it but I think it could be more obvious.
5. After hitting submit on a long verbal question, I shouldn’t have to scroll all the way down to see the results. I’ve already read the text at that point, so hiring submit should just load the answers without changing the viewpoint of the text and available answer choices.
Regarding content, some of the questions have absurdly long answers. I’m unclear how we’re supposed to answer such questions in any reasonable amount of time.

Great but accessibility issues
I have to start testing for the GRE in about a month and paid for premium access to this content. It’s very thorough and comes with excellent strategies for the numerous types of questions.
My only complaint is that this app lacks accessibility features that is not fair to those of us with disabilities. I am lucky enough to not be deaf, but I do have an audio processing disorder so I struggle to understand what is being said without captions or by reading lips. Most of the videos are useless to me because there are absolutely no captions available.
Luckily a handful of videos show the narrators thought processes via drawing on the screen or detailed notes. But I feel like I am missing out severely on important strategies that I paid a LOT of money to get access to.
It’s honestly not fair and if I didn’t have such a short window of time to prep for this exam, I’d demand a refund but I need access to the practice exams and questions.

Response from developer
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and sorry for your experience. We do provide captions! Just tap on "Profile" on the bottom menu bar and you will see a number of Video settings. Toggle "Closed Captions" on and you'll be good to go.
