It was much better than other apps I’ve used and definitely more appealing and fun. But unfortunately you only get one free question a day and I cannot get premium as I cannot afford it. Other than that it is a great app. ### 5/5 — Great app only one problem *2026-08-07, version 2.0.61* Love this app so much only problem is I don’t have premium I really wish I could afford it ### 5/5 — Ótimo, indico. *2026-08-05* Sensacional, desde o início até o momento. Instalei à pouco tempo, embora não seja tão popular, tem um ensino bem interessante. **Developer response:** Olá Erivan_Silva, muito obrigada pelo seu feedback gentil. Esperamos que nosso aplicativo te ajude a melhorar suas notas 💙 ### 4/5 — More a level options *2026-08-02, version 2.0.61* Simplestudy is a great revision app, i used it all throughout my mocks and gcse and it helped me tremendously, but as i am going into year 12 i do wish simplestudy had more a level exam board options such as wjec specifically as they are not widley accomadated with other apps and simplestudy has been my faviourte and most useful revision rescource ### 5/5 — Great but has some limits *2026-08-01* I found this really helpful in aiding my early revision during my summer holidays, especially for psychology as I had no clue about it due to not doing psychology for my GCSEs. I found the lessons very helpful due to its format of precise small chunks of information. However my own fault of lacking enough money to buy premium of this app has not helped me at all. Oh dear, I can already see the vision of my grades in a level going sky high, but this is only if I get 1 year of simply study premium for free. So please developers. Could a poor little thing like me please get premium for free?.. I’m terribly sorry for this. Good day ;) AY! —> Update: Huge thanks to Phillip and the SimpleStudy team for the incredible support! After leaving my original review, The co founder and the SimpleStudy team reached out to me and gifted me a full year of the ultimate plan. The bite sized lesson we’re already a lifesaver for tackling A level psychology especially due to not having done GCSE psychology, but now I can study completely stress free. Best app and support team on the App Store hands down. Many thanks, Jayson **Developer response:** Hey there, thank you so much for your review! We're really glad that our app is aiding with your studies, so we're super happy to hear it's making a difference in your psychology studies! And about the premium not being affordable to you, don't worry, we've got you covered! If you'd be open to it, email our support team at hello@simplestudy.com, mentioning your account email address or UID, and we'll make sure to upgrade your account to an Ultimate Plan access for an entire year so you can study without worries 🙂 - Phillip, co-founder ### 5/5 — OMG great but I can’t afford it *2026-07-30, version 2.0.61* I downloaded this app to help me for my GCSEs and it has been quite useful especially the different features. However I feel like I can’t get much out of it because of financial reasons and I think that premium gives you a lot more advantage. Def recommend .its gonna help you a lot . Edit : thnxxx to the great and kind team. ### 5/5 — Game-changer *2026-07-30* I only downloaded this app recently, but I’m already so impressed! I’d been struggling with where to start revision and how to remember everything, and this app gave me the boost I didn’t know I needed. The notes are concise, well-organised, and focus on what’s actually needed for GCSEs. I also love the theme and layout—it’s clean, easy to use, and makes revision feel much less overwhelming. The quizzes are really helpful too. My personal favourite is the questions by topic section because it helps properly assess what I actually know in a timed setting. The only downside really is that the daily limit is reached quite quickly and I can’t really pay for premium. But if you can pay for premium you should 100% go for it because this is a game changer app. Thank you so much for creating this app—it’s definitely going to be one of my most-used apps this year, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone revising for GCSEs! (I think there was a glitch with my last review which was under the name Estcivpbknlnlmpydues so I wrote it again.) **Developer response:** Hey there, we're genuinely so glad SimpleStudy has helped you get started with your GCSE revision and that you're enjoying the notes, quizzes, and Questions by Topic features. We also get the daily limit concerns you mentioned, especially if you're a student on a tight budget. If you'd be open to it, please email us at hello@simplestudy.com, and we'll upgrade your account to a full year of premium for free so you can make the most of your revision. Thank you so much for your continued support 🙏 - Phillip, co-founder of the app ### 5/5 — 📚 *2026-07-29* está me ajudando bastante , recomendo! **Developer response:** Olá, whymarii! Muito obrigado por todo o apoio. Ficamos felizes em saber que nosso aplicativo ajuda nos seus estudos. Fique à vontade para nos indicar aos seus amigos e colegas de classe! 🙂 ### 1/5 — Bought an unlimited plan but could not access *2026-07-25* I recently joined simply study and bought an ultimate plan so i could access more resources, however i did not receive anything and was still charged. Very unhappy with the service althought i thought the app was useful **Developer response:** Hi there, we're very sorry to hear you're having some issues with your premium access! It sounds like you might've logged into the wrong account. Please email us at hello@simplestudy.com, and we'll make sure the team investigates and fixes this issue immediately 🙏 ### 3/5 — Bom *2026-07-23* Achei um bom app, a estrutura, as formas de estudo, a opção “lição de casa” é ótima. Só gostaria que o feedback fosse mais realista. Vestibular não é fácil, o app pode instigar a se esforçar mais e deixar o aluno lidar com a frustração se não estiver a altura. Podem fazer ranking real igual ao Duolingo, com divisões, nível de xp, e se não atingir um bom nível não passa para a próxima fase. **Developer response:** Olá, aninhalu_jh! Muito obrigada pelo seu feedback construtivo. Isso realmente nos ajuda a entender os pontos que precisamos melhorar. Vamos considerar suas sugestões e tentar implementar um sistema de classificação, além de tornar nossa avaliação mais realista. Se tiver outras ideias de como podemos melhorar o aplicativo, por favor, envie um e-mail para hello@simplstudy.com 🙂 ## Frequently asked questions about SimpleStudy ### What does SimpleStudy do?
