### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-10-20*

I have used this app since late 2021, and I love it! The developer continues to make upgrades that improve the functionality, but the basic tried and true format has stayed consistent all these years. The long term learning has really helped me. It is with the Pro purchase, but that’s a one-time purchase. I also believe most of the app’s quirks have been ironed out over the years, and I haven’t had any issues for a long time. Thank you for your time Paul Caubet!

### 5/5 — Using this app for over 4 years, it’s definitely THE best!

*2026-01-27, version 3.8.0*

I’ve been using OutLearn for 4 years now, through my 2 years of GCSE’s, AS Level and now in my final year of A-Levels :) It 100% is the best app I’ve used for revising and the ChatGPT generated flashcards are a life saver! With using OutLearn I got 5 A/A*s and 4 B’s at GCSE, and a B in A-Level Biology. < which shows how much it helps!

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2026-01-03, version 3.7.1*

This is the only app I use for flashcards and I love it. The creator is very kind to make it free and the different modes of learning are very useful. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Best Flashcard Option

*2025-08-10, version 3.6.0*

Honestly the best free option for spaced repetition. This app alone got me through Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology, and Medical Terminology. Never going back to Quizlet

### 1/5 — Great app, but bugs and non-existent tech support

*2025-05-30*

Compared to other spaced repetition apps on the App Store, the one time fee for a pro version rather than a subscription was very enticing. Overall the mobile and desktop features of the app are well designed, and I was initially very satisfied with the purchase. I particularly enjoy the aesthetic of OutLearn over the other spaces repetition apps that I have used in the past.  

That being said: recently I have been experiencing some issues during card creation and review that make the app difficult to use on mobile. I reached out to the support contact in the app with my issues twice, and both times I got a return message that suggests the support email is non-existent or not set up correctly.

Hoping that the developer can resolve the tech support issues, as I really do enjoy the app and would love to give a higher rating. However, not being able to report issues I am experiencing is a big turn off and making me regret my purchase.

### 5/5 — Quizlet if they weren’t greedy and actually cared about there users

*2025-03-06*

I used to use Quizlet learn to help me study until they locked it behind a paywall. I found this app and I’ve been getting 90s-100s on every test since I installed it. The flashcards system it has is great especially the binge mode. I’m also using long-term for my finals and AP tests coming up. Premium version is also a one time payment thats well worth the buy. This app without a doubt saved my school year and I would highly recommend it for anyone who doesn’t wanna get ripped off by quizlet.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-02-12, version 3.5.0*

This is a great free alternative to Quizlet. I love the learn options and the app is easy to navigate. This app is so much easier to understand than Quizlet

### 5/5 — Very Efficient

*2025-01-03, version 3.5.0*

For a free studying app I find this to be very useful in terms of learning new languages. The only problem I have is some simple bug glitches on mobile such as scrolling when making cards. Amazing app if you want to study or take test using made flashcards for free.

### 4/5 — Great, minor bugs

*2024-12-13*

I use this as an alternative to quizlet. I use it for biology and anatomy. Honestly, the fifteen dollars pro option is definitely worth it because it is not a subscription, just a one time purchase. However, some minor bugs make it a little harder to use. Overall, it’s way better than quizzlet, especially with the pro features. Also very customizable! I’m never using quizlet again (sorry, quizlrt!)

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks so much for your review! Feel free to email me any bugs you are encountering and I’ll fix them asap :)

### 3/5 — Good but some bugs

*2024-12-08, version 3.5.0*

whenever I use this on my ipad to make decks, if i try to scroll up it starts insta scrolling all the way to the top which is really really annoying
otherwise good app 
sucks that the price changed though
