User reviews

The app itself struggles; it keeps crashing.

I would watch a clip, the whole screen would freeze and then would have to rewatch or if finished with the clip I would have to close out the app and restart it.

Not useful

It gave a lot of redundant information that was no on my test of exams. While doing it I had a hard time going to where I was at in class. It gave me grades like a class, but I was not trying to use this as a class only for reference or clarification. I didn’t find it useful. Like the smartbook program lots of info that did not help.

Incredibly hard to get the account started

Redundant process and extremely frustrating! I am trying to study for a test and this app was marketed as helpful, but it’s not.

Poorly executed app

Sharpen throws their obligatory AI throughout their app, yet it is unusable to free members- and yet it is also unremovable from the home page of their app.

great practice and easy to use if you’re on your phone you might as well study
