But all in all the app was really helpful. ### 4/5 — Review *2018-10-06, version 3.20180228* I am quite pleased with it but there are two things bothering me about this. 1. All there is to do are cards. Think of another way to teach us, I mean, come on! It gets a bit boring just swiping through!!! 2. I have to pay to learn other types of mythology. That’s not on. If you can take the time to change these problems I will of course show it to my friends (and I have a lot of friends) and I will be very happy!! Please write back informing me on your progress. From your already happy but could be happier app player, Stephanie! ### 4/5 — Brilliant. *2017-12-02, version 3.20171005* Absolutely brilliant. The app is fantastic. It really does help me learn new things about what I want to learn and what I need to learn. Brainscape is such a reliable app. Though, I wish that a lot of the decks of cards didn't have prices but I completely understand why they do. I think it would make more people happy if the creators lowered the prices or just made some of them free. Only just a few don't cost anything but they are the things I don't need. Again, I understand why they put the prices up, but I don't think the creators had to put prices on most of the decks. ### 3/5 — Extremely limited yet easy to use *2016-01-19, version 2.20141028* The app looks great and is really easy to navigate, but the only pre-loaded topic is Greek mythology and its Roman cognates. There's only 2 other topics and they both cost money. I've played around with the app for 5 minutes, and now I'm about to delete it. ### 4/5 — Useful flash ards *2015-09-09, version 2.20141028* Looks good so far. Clean and accurate. Could use some illustrations. ### 4/5 — Classical allusions lost on you? *2015-04-28, version 2.20120926* Greek gods get mixed up? This helps get them sorted! Flash card approach works to cement them in memory. ### 3/5 — Crashing :( *2015-04-15, version 2.20141028* This app looks great, but it keeps crashing before I get beyond opening a set. It's a shame, because it looks like one of the better apps out there. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2015-04-01, version 2.20141028* Very good app! ### 4/5 — Ehh *2014-09-03, version 2.20140122* Not very good unless u pay money for it ### 5/5 — Mytholgy *2014-06-29, version 2.20140122* This is soooo awesome first review yay yaasssss boo yassss ### 5/5 — Amazing Study Tool!!!!!! *2014-01-21, version 2.20131104* Tells you everything about Greek myths and deities and gods and is totally worth getting! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Just expensive flash cards *2019-01-14* Terrible app. Nickels and dimes it’s users for flash cards. If you have $20 and what faster results than just looking this info up for free online, knock yourself out. Really disappointed in the modern culture of having to pay for basic information. Use Wikipedia and Mythology websites. They’re free. ### 1/5 — Horrible experience *2018-09-03, version 3.20180228* Purchased the full App and it charged me but didn’t unlock all decks ### 1/5 — Hestia not an Olympian!! *2015-05-17, version 2.20141028* According to this app Hestia is an Olympian!! This is not true she gave up her spot as an Olympian to Dionysus a son of Zeus. She tends the hearth in the hearth of mount Olympus!! I don't trust this app with my studies and I'm eleven and can point out a lot of incorrect information in this app! ### 1/5 — Completely dreadful *2015-02-28, version 2.20141028* WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE EMAIL OR FACEBOOK IT IS RUBBISH ### 1/5 — Why *2014-11-15, version 2.20141028* This game wanted to know all of my child's info ### 1/5 — Pretty Bad! *2013-04-13* Why isn't there a picture of the FAMILY TREE of all the Greek/Roman gods/titans? That would have helped a lot! In fact, there are NO PICTURES of the gods or their symbols at all in this app! Its well known the human brain recognizes/processes PICTURES much better than a list of rote words. These so called "learning researchers" should have known this as well. I suspect their theories in learning new material is flawed. ### 2/5 — You have to pay *2023-10-24, version 3.20180228* I wanted an app in order for me to learn about Norse mythology however on the free version if you want to learn anything besides Greek Mythology ( so if that’s what you want it’s fine). I also makes you put in your details before you even start with the app. I feel like that’s a good feature but have it optional in order to sync your data and not mandatory in order to use the app. ### 2/5 — Like the app; pretty petty methods of encouraging usage *2018-07-26* A cute puppy dies every day I don’t study; seriously? Do a brainstorming session and come up with pithy yet less teenage memes to drive use. ### 2/5 — To much info *2016-01-10, version 2.20141028* They asked for to much info and it's ridiculous. I really wanted to play but to much info. ### 2/5 — Alright-ish *2013-11-25, version 2.20131104* I loved the idea of this app, so I downloaded it and was so exited. Imagine my disappointment, when I found out the only mythology topic I wanted to study was locked. I could purchase the full thing, but I'm not really one to spend my money on apps. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP!!!! *2021-03-29* This app is amazing! I spend an hour everyday on it !! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-03-04, version 3.20180228* I love this app it’s a simple way to learn Greek gods and about other Greek mythology I love this app ### 5/5 — This is great *2019-12-29* I really think this is a great app to study all sorts of mythology ### 5/5 — Brainscape Mythology *2019-12-08* This app is a very helpful study guide whether you are studying for school or just learning for fun. I really liked how it fought me the basics for Greek mythology so I can read up on stories without questions about what things are. I also plan to teach this stuff to my friends and bring them to this app. ### 5/5 — Review *2019-11-14, version 3.20180228* This app is so amazing! I have to learn about all types of mythology and it’s helping me more than anything, I can easily pull out my phone and use it wherever I go and I love that.because of this app my kids lit quiz team might be able to go to New Zealand!!! ### 5/5 — Great for studying *2019-05-05* If you’re looking for them to tell you the information beforehand, look somewhere else. If you’re looking for something to help you remember and study mythology, this is for you. ### 5/5 — So good *2018-07-20, version 3.20180228* I have learned so much!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — WOW *2017-01-06* I love it, it helped me so much 😍 ### 5/5 — TOTALLY AWESOME APP!!!! *2016-12-28* I think this is the best study app ever because it is the ONLY app which has taught me something! I also absolutely DESPISE studying, and I think a lot of people do to. But this app makes it way more fun than regular flash cards! Although you do have to pay for a lot of stuff and it is a lot of money, every one must be reminded that IT WAS YOUR OWN DECISION TO BUY IT!!!!!!! THEY DID NOT FORCE YOU!!!!!!! I have a tip for everyone who has the app or doesn't: don't waste your money on an app! I mean, apps are stupid games on a stupid device. Why should you buy stuff that you probably won't use for a lifetime? The people who make the apps can just go and earn there own money out in the streets or in a proper job. Anyway, great app!!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2015-04-24* Really well done. I love the beautiful, easy-to-use design and colors and such I love the tips and notifications And I love the idea that you can suggest an edit, which makes it so that the app is in constant improvement I have only tried the student mode yet, and I'm currently using it for fun and curiosity to learn about the Greco-roman mythology The way of teaching is really effective and unique; using flashcards and repetition depending on the level of each user, which makes it much more fun and easy to memorize and learn It's like one of my hobbies to use this app now I am looking forward to the other mythology lessons after I am done with Greco-roman mythology, and who knows, it's so good that I might just buy brainscape's other lessons varying from languages to history to all different kinds of things I need help with It is really worth it Keep it up! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
