*2020-05-07, version 10.2.2*

This app has revolutionized my strategy in studying for the GRE. Before hand I was simply reading the GRE study book, but felt like I wasn’t actually learning much... just reviewing. Being able to take practice questions and receiving feedback as to how to better analyze the questions and apply my logic has helped increase my confidence tenfold.

This app is awesome. One of the best on the market because it has several practice tests. I enjoy using this app since it’s user friendly and tailored specifically for individual test takers. I definitely recommend students to download this app now, don’t wait last minute.

### 1/5 — Must log in to use

*2026-06-25, version 13.0.0*

You must create an account. Give an email. The. Log in in order to use the app. It may as well be just a web site.

### 1/5 — Data Collection :(

*2025-01-06, version 11.0.3*

requires a bunch of data (phone and email both required)
phone verification/number field didn’t work.

recommend the developers make onboarding a bit more smooth, had to delete due to not being able to get some fields working.

### 1/5 — Please fix this

*2024-07-24, version 10.3.1*

Doesn’t let me sign in

### 1/5 — Crashes on ios15

*2022-02-06, version 10.3.0*

Cannot even open app. Crashes within 1 second.

### 1/5 — Questions don’t load after a good amount of use

*2020-06-05, version 10.2.2*

After doing a good number of practice questions in the verbal reasoning section the app was no longer able to consistently load questions. Instead, the spinning wheel animation takes over when it is directed to load them, and it does not load new questions. I have switched wi-fi networks, tried it in different areas of my house, tried the LTE connection, and uninstalled-reinstalled the app several times in an attempt to fix the problem if it is fixable on my side. It has not done so. Uninstalling and reinstalling sets progress back by a few questions; answering these questions causes the problem to come back. Based on this I now suspect that the problem is with the app itself, or whatever it is connecting to in order to retrieve the questions if the app is pulling them from some non-local storage. Though this started in the verbal section once it began it also showed up in the math section. This problem is massive, and makes the app quite literally unusable. 

There also does not be a way of resetting one’s progress, which is unfortunate. I had a run of questions where, due to my own tiredness at time of use and some of the design aesthetic of the app, I only marked one answer on questions that need two answers. This is obviously my fault, but nevertheless I don’t necessarily think it is indicative of what my performance will be on the actual test and see that count against me and drag my projected score down on the app is disheartening and demotivating. Especially when I can’t fix the problem by answering more questions because the questions won’t load.

### 1/5 — Does not work on my iPad

*2019-12-15, version 10.2.2*

I downloaded it and it is just blank.

### 1/5 — requires a login in order to use

*2019-04-14, version 9.0.0*

this app requires you to login to a site in order to use the app

### 1/5 — Cant use it

*2018-05-31*

I’m not exactly sure what the problem is, but I’ve deleted and downloaded multiple times. The app just simply refuses to create an account. I’ve tried logging through FB, through google, using personal email, school email, job email. I’ve tried doing it on my iPad, and on a friends’ phone/iPad, and it just wont create an account. It keeps saying it cant detect internet (after loading for about 2 solid minutes) but I have a full connection on all devices.

### 3/5 — Mostly great

*2020-07-26, version 10.2.2*

Great review but kinda chunky interface
