In conclusion, No ### 2/5 — For Students Only *2025-02-10, version 1.1.7* I’d hoped to have easy access to the digital teacher’s edition for Reveal Math from my phone. However, when I sign into my teacher account through this app, I can only access the student workbooks. All other teacher resources are unavailable as well. Unfortunately, this app appears to be for student use only. ### 3/5 — It is very confusing *2024-10-03, version 1.1.4* I tried to do the e book at safari but it didn’t work so I got this and at first it didn’t work either so teachers , find a different app. On the bright side, the digital book looks and feels amazing. ### 2/5 — CLASS *2024-03-24, version 1.1.3* It doesn’t show the class that I need it shows all of them expect my Florida course 3. ### 3/5 — Face ID login issues *2024-01-23, version 1.1.3* Just know if you have the wrong login details or want to switch accounts, just know that you WILL be softlocked out of the app. I’ve tried to login to view my textbooks only for it to completely softlock me out as my account login was incorrect. I couldn’t login in nor type anything in as Face ID went haywire trying to login me ### 1/5 — At least make it work *2022-08-25, version 1.0.3* Apple stylus doesn’t work. Feels extremely broken. Can’t save notes Better off using the website than this terrible port. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2022-08-18, version 1.0.3* This app stinks. ### 1/5 — Problem w app *2022-08-18, version 1.0.3* This is a very bad app because Mr.Caudil doesn’t like it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — GARBAGE *2026-03-14, version 1.1.14* Most stressful app ever ### 1/5 — Books *2025-12-10, version 1.1.14* Bro the books are older than my grandparents mind changing them put more effort maybe cause right know they look ewwww ### 1/5 — Very bad app *2025-07-21, version 1.1.11* SO STRESSFUL AND ANNOYING ### 1/5 — no *2024-10-04, version 1.1.4* I linked my google account on my chromebook but i can’t log in using google on my phone 😭 ### 1/5 — Review of portal *2023-09-03, version 1.1.1* Difficult to figure out/understand. ### 1/5 — We love andrew Tate *2023-01-05, version 1.0.16* Homework is bad Andrew Tate is my hero ### 1/5 — Pointless *2022-09-14, version 1.0.14* There is literally nothing on this app. Zero resources. Why does it exist? Why did I waste my time downloading this when there aren’t any, literally ANY, tools? ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2022-09-08, version 1.0.14* This claim of, “4.6 average rating in the App Store and over 725,000 downloads and counting” on their Higher Ed tab seems fictional at best. I have three classes that require McGraw Hill Connect and their books, none of which are available through this application. I wouldn’t recommend this application. I’m also confused about their intentions as they’re delivering a low quality paid product. ### 1/5 — Won’t load properly *2022-09-06, version 1.0.14* I have downloaded the RWC and it opens fine. I can turn the page from the cover to the second page. When I turn the page the third time the app closes. This happens in every piece of literature I download. ### 1/5 — . *2022-08-26, version 1.0.3* This is a great app :) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GREAT APP BUT…. *2026-01-07* It teaches you a lot, and gets you ready for state tests and also for NWEA exams, but it also sometimes can get a bit stressful when you get the question wrong, also can you add more videos about the topic and not about a slightly different topic ### 5/5 — BEST MATH APP 🧮 *2025-05-04* Help me score higher in MAP testing from a 84 percentile to a 91 percentile ### 5/5 — Holy moly this was sigma *2024-04-26, version 1.1.3* Holy moly this was skibidi sigma Ohio ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2023-08-30, version 1.1.1* So amazing!!! ### 5/5 — Helps… To a limit *2023-02-02, version 1.0.16* This helps for homework that I do each day, but sometimes this app can get a bit wonky with the bugs. I get that this app was released a few months ago, but please fix the bugs. ### 5/5 — Cool *2022-11-07, version 1.0.15* Amazing ### 5/5 — 🙈 *2022-08-18, version 1.0.3* This app helped me to learn Algebra great app! ### 4/5 — THIS IS AMAZIN’ *2025-01-23, version 1.1.7* I love how this is so secure from people and public,it’s so easy and hard to get in at the same time!
