At all. Avoid wasting your time and money with this app. ### 1/5 — Not worth the download *2026-06-10, version 1.2.6* Ngl listen to the other one star reviews ### 1/5 — Absolute scam. *2026-05-07, version 1.2.5* It might look all fancy before downloading it, but this app is just a fake. They don’t teach you anything useful and basically say the same thing over and over just in a different way. Plus the fake reviews, which I unfortunately fell for the first time. Do not get this app unless you’re willing to waste time and money doing absolutely nothing of importance. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-04-27, version 1.2.5* Literally can’t get past the first ad because after watching it, another immediately pops up and won’t exit even after it finishes. ### 1/5 — It’s a scam *2026-03-01, version 1.2.4* Paid for it. I needed something to practice on my phone when away from my desktop. Asked me to download links that came back as red flags for phishing. If you’re trying to get into hacking you definitely need to be aware of suspicious links. Did a little research, there’s no real reviews or feedback from this app. I recommend tryhackme as an alternative if you have a desktop or laptop. ### 1/5 — I NEEDED HELP *2026-02-25, version 1.2.4* I needed to find out what the password was to my old phone and this app did not help at all DO NOT GET THIS HORRIBLE HORRID HORRIFIC APP ### 1/5 — Doesn‘t work *2026-02-14, version 1.2.4* Just white screen after „continue“. That’s it. ### 1/5 — Absolute scam. *2026-02-01, version 1.2.4* It might look all fancy before downloading it, but this app is just a fake. They don’t teach you anything useful and basically say the same thing over and over just in a different way. Do not get this app unless you’re willing to waste time and money doing absolutely nothing of importance. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2025-12-24, version 1.2.3* It just doesnt work ### 1/5 — Total gimmick *2025-12-03* You will learn next to nothing from this app - whoever wrote it clearly knows how to drive traffic by exploiting the App Store and generating phony reviews - sadly they won’t even be teaching you the most basic scammy skills with their faux-app. It’s as if someone wrote an app to teach you about trees and each module consisted of a learning page that tells you ‘trees are green’ followed by a multiple choice pop quiz that asks ‘what color are trees generally?’ I immediately demanded a refund upon delving into the “advanced” lessons. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New *2026-08-16, version 1.2.6* Love the ease of going through the lessons😄 ### 5/5 — Vary help fool *2026-08-13, version 1.2.6* I have been running through the test so fast ### 5/5 — Get it *2026-08-10, version 1.2.6* Definitely really good is actually teaching me ### 5/5 — Smooth Operating *2026-08-08, version 1.2.6* I’m brand new to the app but the few lessons I’ve done so far have been really simple, easy to follow along with and very helpful. I feel like I’m going to learn a lot from this app, I’m really excited. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2026-08-07, version 1.2.6* Easy to follow along. Keeps its simple and to the point. Lessons are in small increments so as to not discourage you from lengthy sessions of information intake. Helps with focus and engagement. I like it. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-06, version 1.2.6* Super new to this but this app is making it approachable ### 5/5 — Buena app *2026-08-04, version 1.2.6* Es excelente ### 5/5 — wonderful *2026-08-03, version 1.2.6* great price for what you get very worth it ### 5/5 — Happy *2026-07-31, version 1.2.6* Good ### 5/5 — Rebel *2026-07-31, version 1.2.6* Nice program --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
