Very poor functionality

Can’t take quizzes on the app??? Text in the readings doesn’t always size properly to phone. Answers to some of the quizzes often glitches in and out on screen. Cannot reorder the calendar to plan out your week, it automatically reorders every Monday whether you like it or not, though this is not specific to the app. Need to add +- 10 sec buttons to videos. Should be able to remember your place in videos if you leave. Downloading videos takes a long time, and you can only select one at a time.

Doesn’t work

The content won’t load. It just freeze when you try to pull up a page.

Features on Webpage, Not even on App

I was going to use the app to listen to the CFA level 1 audio, but that seems to be not even an option. Now I have to manually lig in through my phone to get to it.

Along with other features missing this is grave oversight.

Minimal functionality

Can’t access any study materials. Basically no value in this app other then the study calendar

Useless support

The app is so antiquated, every transition is slow, video download takes forever and stops the moment you change the screen. Support is useless, telling me I should use their website instead of their app. Ridiculous.

App content doesn’t load.

Was really hoping to be able to study on the go with the app but the content for the reading materials do not load. Quite disappointing as this was a key feature why I signed up for Kaplan CAIA!

Frequent freezes & cumbersome navigation

App freezes a lot, especially when trying to use downloaded videos (eg while traveling)

The app is super slow and none of my readings will load.

I click a button and the app freeze for 5 to 10 seconds for any action happens. My required readings will never load. This is all after opening and closing the app multiple times messing around with the VPN’s installing reinstalling, etc. Better to just use the online system with which I’ve had no issues. They say this app is in development, but a lot of these reviews are six years old and it still doesn’t work.

App Unusable

Great course and so is the content. However, the app is virtually unusable. Doesn’t load the content and often just glitches out. Wish it was better.

Audio notes

CFA level 1 audio notes are not available

Laggy; takes forever to load

I’d have to refresh and try at least 5 times to get the text to load. Highly inconvenient when the whole point of a phone app is to streamline your ability to receive the information straight away. Not ideal for studying.

App is Not Running Well

Two Stars because the Q Bank is working, while everything else is not.

No CC in video lessons on the App

Why are there NO CLOSED CAPTIONS in the video lessons on the App if they are available on the website?

App is horrible !!

App is extremely slow. Most of the time, it does not render page. It does not show me the past completed activities either !!

Very poor UI

You can only download 1 video at a time and you cannot cue the downloads!

The written material is not accessible offline

Useless app

Does not even have flashcard

App is not seamless and does not even offer flashcard function for those who purchased it

Terrible user experience

Videos cannot be rewound or fast forwarded.

When rotating between horizontal and vertical viewing, the video cuts out

Inconsistent navigation pathways

Doesn’t Work - Not Worth the $$$

Probably the worst user experience app I have had. Unfortunately courses are priced at $1000+ and app keeps crashing, restarting, freezing. On typical study day I spend 1 hour trouble shooting and 1.5 hour studying — which is very unfortunate.

Can’t even read the books

How hard is it to display a pdf of the book and contents? It’s 2024 nearly

Could you please fix an issue?

Qbank problems do not show tables and graphs.
