On the website it works. ### 3/5 — Missing word definitions and unintuitive interface *2024-09-25* 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. ### 3/5 — Great but accessibility issues *2024-07-17* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 3/5 — App keep on crashing *2024-04-06* I have surfed the app only little bit i haven’t explored more After watching lesson and if we go back to switch next lesson means the app crashes I dont know what’s happening there And another thing when entering into lessons for the first time it says no lessons currently for few seconds after that me lessons are loading I can understand that u are fetching the videos after the api call gets success but until that u have to show loading or progress bar or message like getting ur lessons. If u say like that it will be more relevant **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We just released an app update that fixes the crash you mention and adds your suggestion of a loading indicator when the app is fetching videos. Happy studying! ### 4/5 — 1.5 playback speed feature request *2023-05-21, version 5.5.1* Thank you for the app! It is really helpful! The only thing I miss is the possibility of watching videos with a 1.5-playback speed. The videos are too slow, and I’d prefer to save time by watching them quicker. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Freezing *2022-11-08, version 5.5.1* This app is constantly freezing. The only way to fix the issue is to close the app completely, therefore losing my previous questions answered. ### 4/5 — Good app but room for improvement *2022-10-14, version 5.5.1* Great app for studying on the go but the videos should have the option to watch it in double speed like the desktop version. ### 4/5 — Taking notes on the phone should be available as well *2022-09-23* Magoosh is definitely a great platform to do your preps for GRE, I’d appreciate if they add the take notes feature on the phone as well! ### 2/5 — More detail *2022-08-01, version 5.5.1* So far no detailed info regarding equations just generalized info I already know ### 5/5 — Simple! Efficient! *2022-02-09* The simple style of the lectures makes me feel the test easier. Thanks for the good functions! ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-12-27, version 5.5.1* This app is extremely helpful in studying for the GRE. The videos provide detailed explanations of concepts that are covered in the GRE. Totally a lifesaver!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic resource - wish I had found it sooner! *2021-12-26* This app was the best resource for preparing for the GRE - I wish I had found it months earlier and not just the week before my test! I got the app simply for the practice questions that I could do from anywhere but was amazed by the amount of extra value included - from the explanation videos for EVERY practice question, to the very detailed and very helpful video lessons, I was impressed at the quality and how helpful they all were! I used to be a high school teacher and I was both impressed by the quality of the lessons, and by how much I learned - even about concepts I used to teach! The videos on strategies for solving particular types of word problems and approaching the unique question types on the GRE were really really helpful! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Playback speed does not work *2025-03-07, version 6.2.1* The playback speed does not work!!! ### 1/5 — Slow *2024-09-18* The app doesn’t work on IOS. There are many glitches and the app hangs a lot which makes it near impossible to use effectively. ### 1/5 — Expensive *2024-07-18* Expensive ### 1/5 — Lacking lot of features *2023-06-04* It doesn’t have dashboard support as available on the website version that makes it irrelevant to use . We have to go back to website to do custom practise and for watching lessons or as for daily planned videos . Please update it . ### 1/5 — I am not even able to pause a video!? *2023-02-15* This app is pretty useless to me. ### 1/5 — Videos won’t play. Keeps crashing *2022-06-28, version 5.5.1* Using the app on my iPhone XS max. Videos won’t play or play late. Touch doesn’t work sometimes and sometimes the app crashes ### 1/5 — Waste *2022-03-05, version 5.5.1* It’s is not intuitive, basically watch videos and move on, no practice to see if you master the skill. Basically a GRE text prep book with videos. ### 1/5 — I am unable to read articles and watch videos *2021-08-27, version 5.5.1* I would love to use this app as expected to use, but I am unable to read articles and watch videos, hindering my learning. ### 1/5 — Bugs! *2019-04-16* I upgraded to premium, recently, but can't play any of the videos. Tapping the play button returns no response. Kindly fix it! ### 2/5 — Can't use question section *2023-04-08, version 5.5.1* Questions won't load when I enter the sections, both verbal and math. Please fix. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I can’t believe it’s free *2024-04-14, version 6.1.2* It is everything I could ask for. It’s like I have my own private teacher. ### 5/5 — Good value *2024-03-06, version 6.1.0* This is a good value GRE Program with excellent customer service support! ### 5/5 — Free & great! *2023-09-11, version 5.5.1* Just what I need to do this GRE prep! So far the only annoying commercial bit is asking me if I ‘know the word magoosh’ over & over in vocab practice. But this is VERY nice content to get for free with only a little bit of needling. Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Feedback *2023-08-19* Amazing ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Love Magoosh! App is great *2022-11-23, version 5.5.1* I find the app very useful and accessible. Video tutorials are in small chunks which make them easy to fit into my busy schedule. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2022-08-13, version 5.5.1* Love it. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Content for Free *2022-03-31* This is an incredibly useful tool, especially considering that it is free. The app itself is a bit buggy, and pausing a video and playing it again removes any video speed increase you may have assigned in the settings. Still, I am thrilled that I found this app, and I plan to purchase more materials from Magoosh because I have enjoyed these free materials so much. ### 5/5 — Amazing Review Material *2022-03-24* I finished my Bachelor degree 25 years ago. This app was a wonderful refresher of the stuff I already knew but had forgotten. The videos were short and to the point. I could watch a few at a time or a lot at a time, depending on my schedule. The tips and tricks were VERY helpful. I haven’t taken the GRE yet, but I scored well on the practice test I took. I feel well prepared because of the app. ### 5/5 — Best GRE study resource! and it’s free! *2022-03-08, version 5.5.1* Get this app!! Magoosh was the only resource I used to study for my GRE. I can’t believe it’s free! The practice questions, writing section videos, and vocab builder were super helpful. I scored very well on my first GRE attempt and don’t have to retake it… thanks Magoosh! ### 5/5 — Great site *2022-02-10, version 5.5.1* Test questions and solutions are awesome. Videos are very helpful and extensive --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
