### 3/5 — Great Content but Poor Tech

*2022-08-05, version 5.2.3*

The content is great but the app interface and navigation is outdated. Mind tools, Pls update!

### 4/5 — Pretty good, could be better

*2020-04-06, version 5.2.3*

I would love to be able to login with Face ID. Also, I added a few things to my learning plan a few days ago that are no longer there. Pretty good app overall though

### 3/5 — Tbh i thought those guys below were bots

*2018-07-01, version 4.9.4*

thought those guys below were bots, the ones who rated 5 star but this app is no joke idk how more people havent gotten it. I’ve been using it for like, an hour but it’s h*ckin amazing. (Nah but fr it’s amazing) anyway yeah this is what i’ve been looking for.

### 5/5 — Only app I've ever bothered to review

*2017-07-15, version 3.0*

Fantastic content available in the free version. User friendly. Easily understandable. One of the rare apps I didn't delete after an hour.

### 3/5 — A concern.

*2015-11-21, version 2.61*

Why are there two Mind Tools app? One saying DX, and this one. 

Also, when I click on a link within the app it tells me "You don't currently have access to this resource."

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-10-03, version 2.61*

I started reading and using this app and suggested it to my boss. Her and I both use it every day.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-08-31, version 2.61*

This app was really helpful in teaching business skills. I'm surprise no one before me has rated this app. 
If you don't have this app you're missing out.

### 2/5 — Great info but...

*2014-06-09, version 2.5*

I love this app. But...The problem is the new entries won't load from their servers. Apparently the bug fix made more bug fixes.

### 4/5 — Amazing app, but keeps crashing?!

*2013-07-15, version 2.1*

Which is really annoying. And the only thing keeping me from giving it a 5-star rating!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Information and Design

*2013-03-02, version 1.02*

One reviewer said something to the effect of, "It's just text." ...um, yes, it is. Knowledge is power. People pay thousands of dollars to learn business concepts in the classroom...this is free information! The topics in this app are neatly organized, relevant to any business professional, and, most importantly, distilled down to the most critical key points. Within 5 minutes of downloading this app I already had several great ideas of new things I would like to implement at work. Love it.

### 1/5 — Wish I read the reviews first...

*2020-01-30, version 5.2.3*

Wow! I’m a relatively new user and I’m ashamed to admit I’ve paid for this pathetic excuse of an app for a few months despite continuing to encounter tech issues with their website and now their app. I don’t understand how Mind Tools can charge people $20 per month for such HORRIBLE systems! I’ll sadly be cancelling my subscription- while I find the content so valuable, I’m tired of dealing with the terrible systems to try to find the content I’m looking for. I’d like to know what the developers actually spend your time doing because it’s evident optimizing your website and app are not priorities as there are comments dating back to at least March 2019 (almost a year ago) noting this app is essentially useless yet that hasn’t seemed to change anything as my experience today was the same as others have shared. Guys, you can pay a company to optimize your stuff btw- I think you charge enough from your customers to bring in experts if you need support. I had to continuously re-log into the app any time I navigated out of it to do anything else on my phone. None of the topics I had saved we’re showing in my account. Seriously, what am I paying $20/month for?? DO BETTER!!! I’m tired of people not working for things anymore. 

Potential new users BEWARE!!! Not worth the money until they have a tech makeover.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-10-15, version 5.2.1*

The app just opens and then a loading screen spins perpetually forever. You can’t click on anything or do anything. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading and powering off and back on, nothing works.

### 1/5 — Keeps loading

*2019-10-11, version 5.2.1*

App keeps loading

### 1/5 — Unusable on iPhone

*2019-03-11, version 5.0.10*

This app requires you to sign into your Apple ID account EACH and EVERY TIME you use it. 

If I could give it zero, I would. 

HONESTLY I want my money back. This is like using a computer in the 90’s...

Imagine opening up and app, but it forces you to re-validate yourself with APPLE! each time you use it. 

There is sImply NOT ENOUGH TIME IN THE WORLD to deal with that Kind of BS. 

I used it three times and stopped. I just gave up. I want my Money back because The app is unusable. Sorry. But it is. 

No other app in the App Store makes you do that. Not one. This is draconian thinking and ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE interface. 

Booooooooooo.

### 1/5 — Terribly hard to renew or subscribe if you’re in the US

*2018-11-23, version 5.0.10*

I have subscribed to Mind Tools for several yeasts but each time it is near impossible to subscribe or renew.  For a company that provides excellent self improvement, perhaps it would be beneficial to improve your subscription process.

### 1/5 — Many of links r not real workable

*2018-11-01, version 5.0.10*

Thanks

### 1/5 — Less frequent updates

*2018-02-11, version 4.5.2*

The huge value that the app add is ruined by the down time of the apps when iOS releases updates

### 1/5 — Do much management nonsense-speak right on my phone!

*2015-06-21, version 2.61*

This is sure to appeal to management wannabes. Long strings of cliches and buzzwords fly off the screen. It's like someone shrunk down a whole trunkful of motivational posters into a handy app. And they're just giving it away!  FOR FREE!!!

### 1/5 — Crashes!!!

*2013-06-04, version 2.1*

It opens to beautiful scenery...then Home Screen.  Nothing!  Please restore to version that actually worked!  I have a paid membership and was excited to find this on the App Store, but I can't use it.

### 2/5 — It’s just ok

*2018-10-20, version 5.0.5*

Half of the time the app doesn’t work. Links and pages don’t open up.

### 5/5 — Plethora of Useful Info In One Place!

*2021-09-02, version 5.2.3*

This is so helpful if you utilize it. I was surprised at how much info it actually provides for free!

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2021-07-17, version 5.2.3*

Finding Mind Tools was the best thing that’s happened to me in a while.  Even though I’m in the latter stages of my career, I’m still to make myself better.  I believe this is the tool that will help me do that.

### 5/5 — I LOVE this resource

*2021-07-01, version 5.2.3*

This is a one stop shop for everything you need to know to be a better, more confident and more effective leader. God bless the folks who contribute to the excellence of Mindtools.

### 5/5 — Amazing Idea☺️💡

*2019-01-25, version 5.0.10*

May I ask what made you come up with this app?

### 5/5 — Smooth

Learning level is pure

### 5/5 — A must try with real actionable data

game changing in my career

### 5/5 — Great Business Supporter , I wish to join you.

*2018-10-26, version 5.0.10*

Really it is a very rich place to have your sufficient knowledge.

### 5/5 — Fantastic content

*2017-08-20, version 3.0*

I've recently signed up as a paid member. The breadth of quality content is amazing. The challenge is knowing what to process! I've taken to skimming and bookmarking but MindTools are going to keep me going for a long time. Wish I had discovered it earlier.
