I am a night owl in which we work during the night. I’m having problems with accessing the Lessons from the progress page individually. If you understand, I want to go over everything from scratch — the beginning more or less. And it won’t let me access the lesson on my iPad further than 3. Please fix this ASAP. ### 2/5 — Overpriced *2026-02-08, version 1.22.14* Expect to pay a minimum of $20-$50/month, otherwise the entire app is inaccessible (besides the time during their 7-day trial). ### 5/5 — Best SAT Prep hands down *2026-01-23* I’ve used a couple apps trying to find what works as I had a lot of time to my SAT and this one is the BEST. Most other ones have issues with questions and planning out the study - here I saw the best quality. All topics, questions, personalized to you and your score goal. Went from 1270 to consistent 1580/1590 just using this app - def recommend 12/10 **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We love to see our students making great progress. ### 4/5 — Diagnostic errors *2026-01-19, version 1.21.7* The diagnostic had a problem about practice hours vs therapy hours which lists the incorrect answer as correct. Although this app is very good for getting an idea about where I am, I’m afraid that it will mislead me on the real test. ### 1/5 — Already subscribed but app is saying no subscription *2025-12-14, version 1.20.2* The subscription already appears on my apple account but app is not recognizing I already paid for the subscription. Please fix this issue on my account ### 1/5 — Paywall at its worse *2025-12-11, version 1.20.1* I downloaded the app, filled in the info and saw that they wanted me to do a quick test to see my weak points. Understandable since they wanted to be as precise as possible but when I went to click it… a pay wall. Minor set back, I go to do practice problems… another pay wall. EVERY SINGLE thing I clicked lead me to the subscription page. DO NOT GET THIS APP!!!! ### 1/5 — This app SUCKS 😭😡 *2025-12-05, version 1.20.1* Your app is impressively horrible! Your little AI tutor got 3 wrong answers within 20 minutes of me talking to her, one of which was calculating pi. That’s not hard. A 6th grader could do that. Your app is so expensive and so low quality. You are going to destroy some poor child’s dream of going to a top-tier university with your app. I would just take it down. I saw that you responded to someone who was complaining about this same issue and you said that it had already been fixed. That was months ago. It seems the same to me. If you are taking the SAT at any point, downloading this app is about the worst thing you could do for yourself. In summary, DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!! THIS APP SUCKS!!! ### 1/5 — Really. *2025-11-23, version 1.20.1* You literally can’t do anything to help you with the SAT if you don’t pay, taking the SAT is already expensive enough ### 1/5 — It should be free. *2025-11-21, version 1.20.1* I’d be fine if it like $5 a month MAXIMUM. This is a Million Dollar company! You don’t need more money. I need to save as much as I can for college and every little bit counts. Good concept, but charging this much shows you only care about the money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Must do a trial. *2026-08-28, version 1.28.6* I cant access any of the factors to help without doing the free trial. I’m just trying to study for my upcoming SAT. ### 1/5 — Refund *2026-07-31, version 1.27.14* I canceled it the day of and it is still charging. Did not remind me to cancel either ### 1/5 — You need money *2026-05-27, version 1.26.6* Im sure the app is great but you can't do anything unless you pay which us upsetting knowing this test is for highschoolers who probably dont even have a job. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-05-22, version 1.26.6* You can’t do anything with a payment. Literally not a single question ### 1/5 — $$ required *2026-04-01, version 1.24.7* Having to pay for this is actually dumb ### 1/5 — Pay or delete 💀 *2026-03-15, version 1.23.9* I can’t do a single thing in this app without it making me pay money; there are way better free alternative options than this(no joke) ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-03-07, version 1.23.9* Literally impossible to use until you pay them. That’s kind of messed up. ### 1/5 — Money *2026-02-27, version 1.23.9* I’m sure this app would help me study for my sat, if I could actually use it. Instead everything on this app is locked behind paying for “smart school pro”. How is that “pro” if it’s just literally everything? Genuinely a waste of storage if, like me, you can’t afford to spend money for the bare minimum. ### 1/5 — Paid for subscription but not able to use it *2026-02-23, version 1.23.9* I bought a six months subscription but every time that I try to use it, it ask me to get a subscription again. I already contacted support with no response. Please help or refund my money. ### 1/5 — You have to pay $20 for everything. *2026-01-15, version 1.21.4* I tried this out thinking it would be good for practice, but no. It was a lie, you have to pay at least $20-$500 for every thing even a lesson. This was a joke..!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It is really fun *2026-07-26, version 1.27.14* Everything is very fun, and I really enjoyed when you got a question wrong, you could find out why. This app is a really great way to boost your SAT score. It even lets you set a goal, and there are personalized modules! Overall, I really recommend this app. 😀😀😀 ### 5/5 — Mmas *2026-05-20, version 1.26.6* Frankly speaking a really helpful app. The chatbot works well and helps explain me the content. Really recommend it. Tried many others and this has both good content and really intuitive design. Really liked it ### 5/5 — Amazing resource! *2026-05-19, version 1.26.6* This site is incredible. WORK SMART, NOT HARD ❤️. I love the setup and way that it pinpoints your weakest areas to maximize scores and understanding. Awesome tutoring guidance, video support, and practice that adjusts to your needs and time constraints. ### 5/5 — Best questions anywhere *2026-05-18, version 1.26.6* Was preparing for a May Sat sess and looking for a resource with good questions. All of them were awful or totally not sat-like. This app had the same ones as on SAT and even the practice looks like blue book ### 5/5 — Amazing personalization *2026-05-13, version 1.25.13* This program helps students get down to the detail THEY need. Best personalization I’ve ever experienced. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-05-13, version 1.25.13* This app is great. It helped me a ton before my May SAT. ### 5/5 — Good for additional practice *2026-02-20, version 1.23.9* I've been using this app as an additional practice to my school prep and for the practice tests. Very helpful. ### 5/5 — Helpful app, quality content *2026-02-18, version 1.22.14* Was looking for sth real like in a bluebook to prepare for my sat. I’m not a bad student but I really needed to make sure I did everything well. The app gave me confidence I’m well prepared and I actually was ### 5/5 — Pretty lit *2026-02-11, version 1.22.14* I be learning and shi feelin hella studious and intellectual on foenem ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-02-04, version 1.22.14* I just started using it and I already have improved a lot and keep leveling up on my math skills. I haven’t really been practicing the reading and writing part but the parts of have started are helpful. I’ve already learned some new words too and I believe I will do well on the SAT! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
