### 1/5 — I can’t even open the app

*2025-09-26*

It keeps saying it requires internet connection on first launch even though I do have connection. I can’t even try this app because IT WON’T OPEN

### 1/5 — Badly needs updating....

*2019-08-21*

As soon as I downloaded the app, it crashed and doesn’t open. I have a brand new iOS phone so this app needs updating. The last update appears to have been 3 YEARS ago. Technology changes constantly so I don’t understand why McGraw-Hill wouldn’t realize they need to update the apps. They advertise the app with the updated purchased books as a perk but the app won’t load!!! Very disappointing!!!

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2019-04-20*

This app would be so helpful but it won’t even open and is sooooo glitchy.

### 1/5 — Can’t even review the app because it won’t open

*2019-04-19*

Right after downloading this app, the app loaded a mc-grawhill education logo then after 1 second it proceeded to crash, displaying a black screen and exiting me out onto the home screen. I have tried tapping on the app again but the same things happens, even after restarting my phone. The app has some bugs/glitches as it won’t even let me into app or stay on it  for more than 2 seconds. Considering this was suppose to enhance my 5 steps to a 5 review book which I actually spent money on, I’m disappointed the company can’t update their app to better complement their purchased review books. Makes me feel like I did not get my full money’s worth

### 1/5 — won’t even open

*2019-03-24*

part of the reason why i chose this review book for ap euro was because of the app...and now the app won’t even open. i feel like i’ve been played 😔

### 1/5 — useless

*2019-03-06*

I hate to be harsh, but it is useless. The app will not even open and only glitches every time. The prep books are great! but I don’t recommend getting this app.

### 1/5 — Zero Stars

*2018-12-19*

Has not been updated in two years. Please update, as this was very useful for planning my test.

### 1/5 — AP Bio

*2018-12-17*

I downloaded the app to help with my AP Biology class. It doesn’t even have it. Very dissatisfied

### 1/5 — AP Student

*2018-12-05*

App won’t allow me to open it even with tech support. Very glitchy!

### 1/5 — Can't even set a start date

*2017-08-05*

Set study date is stuck at November 17
2017. If I try to go to September 1st 2017, it doesn't allow me to, as if the app thinks that's going back in time. Unless it's fixed, I won't be purchasing these books with my budget and having our kids use this app!
