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 🙂 ### 4/5 — Really helpful *2026-07-19, version 2.0.59* I found this app really helpful for revision. I just wish there was no in app purchases and premium as I believe studying should be free and having access to materials to gain better grades should also be free other than having to pay to get better use out of the app overall it’s a really good app. I found it extremely helpful despite having to pay for better use but the free version which I have is really good as well as I said anyway hope this helped guys go enjoy this app to help revise and study ### 5/5 — logic error, i believe *2026-07-02* EDITED, REREAD! app keeps saying that ive reached the daily limit when i havent even done a lesson🫩 This is consistent. When it works it is good, but its only worked like twice, so 2 stars. EDIT: Due to a very quick developer response I have changed my review. It seems very obvious that the developers care about tthe app, and put a lot into it, hence a very effective response and solution. The app actually works now, and I can study without the bug👍 **Developer response:** Hey, thanks for letting us know. Very sorry about the issue! If you'd be open to it, email us at hello@simplestudy.com mentioning the issue with the daily limits you've been experiencing, and we'll make sure the team investigates it. We'll also upgrade your account to an Ultimate Plan premium access for a year, so you don't have to worry about the daily limits in the first place :) - Phillip, co-founder ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-06-24, version 2.0.53* Love love love this app it’s so good guys. The questions by topic section is so helpful cause it times you and marks your answers for you. It also has lots of notes which are spec specific and saves me loads of time compared to writing them out. I rlly recommenddddd ### 5/5 — Amazing app to an extent *2026-06-23, version 2.0.53* I absolutely love this app, the way its laid out is so pleasing and I found it really helpful for my GCSEs! However, I really wish I’d be able to use it more, having only one free question a day is so frustrating :( I cannot afford a premium subscription which is a real shame as I feel it would be so beneficial alongside my A-levels. That is my only criticism but I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see good grades! ### 4/5 — Download now *2026-06-09* I got a freaking distinction from this😭❤️ **Developer response:** Thank you sooo much for your review!!! Congrats on getting a distinction, we're super proud of you 🤩💙 ### 4/5 — Amazing and rlly helpful but get premium if you want actual progress *2026-06-09, version 2.0.49* I acc really love this app, it helps me revise for my exams so efficiently and I love the quiz that you get at the end of each topic, it really helps me get the info inside my head, however, since I can’t afford premium 😭, there are so many limits and I jst kinda end up crashing into the same problems, so if you can afford premium, get it- its so worth it ### 5/5 — Best app for revision *2026-06-08, version 2.0.49* If you’re fed up of sparx maths this is definitely for you! ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-06-08* Really awesome! ### 2/5 — Too much paid only content *2026-06-03, version 2.0.49* I feel like I can’t do anything without paying and would love if there was more options that are free as I can only do one lesson a day and sometimes it doesn’t even let me do that it’s almost impossible to use without payment ### 3/5 — It’s good but *2026-06-01, version 2.0.49* The daily limit pisses me off I only used it for 6 minutes and it’s so heavy on money. ### 5/5 — The app *2026-06-01, version 2.0.49* It literally telling me I can’t go in and I’ve paid, this app is really good buh I hate scams ### 2/5 — 🥲 *2026-06-01* tá todo bugado,o aplicativo consta que tá errado,porém a resposta está correta. **Developer response:** Olá tayhzv, muito obrigado pelo seu feedback. Lamentamos muito saber que você está tendo problemas com nossos quizzes, que estão indicando que suas respostas corretas estão erradas. Isso definitivamente não deveria acontecer com ninguém que usa nosso aplicativo! Por favor, envie um e-mail para hello@simplestudy.com e investigaremos o problema para corrigi-lo imediatamente. - Phillip, cofundador do aplicativo ### 5/5 — Great App!!! *2026-05-28, version 2.0.49* I have only just started learning with this app but i think it is really helpful and its just like a classroom on my phone. It breaks things down and the regular quiz sessions are great fot helping me memorise things! Overall a great app! Fingers crossed exams go well! ### 5/5 — Overall great app! *2026-05-28, version 2.0.49* this is an amazing app that’s really helped me study with my GCSEs. I’ve really recommend it to anyone else who would want to study more easily. The only thing that when I use a free options for revising it can be a bit limiting because I don’t have the ultimate premium but overall I would still really recommend to my classmates if they need help with their revision ### 5/5 — Better than expected buttttt *2026-05-27, version 2.0.49* I honestly thought this was the usual ai learning app that does nothing but track ur data but I’ve been using it for a bit and it blew me away, im not someone who usually studies but damn, minute I tested it on a subject I hated, I actually learnt a lot more than what pmt and my textbook has ever done. But as there is a good side of anything, there is the ugly. The smallest problem I have is I wish there’s more customisation options in terms of like the colour accents cause the blue will become annoying lol, I like to spice things up and Mr/Mrs developer, if the customisation is there and it’s a premium feature, I apologise and talking about features, premium is the big buttt I mentioned in the title, I only started using it but it’s not as flexible the way I thought it should be, I understand that this app is a really useful tool so I should trade good grades for money but the app is also incomplete to be at that stage, mind u this is the first time im critical about an app but Im critical because it has serious potential, serious potential to rival Duolingo in all honesty but rather not helping me engage in my revision, instead I get blocked for trying to understand a topic because of the wall called premium. The app impressed me because I expected ai slop and vibe coded nonsense but if the premium features were usable. Even for like until my alevels are done. I’ll never touch chat gpt. ### 5/5 — AMAZINGGGGGGGG!!!!!!! *2026-05-27, version 2.0.49* I ABOSLUTELY love this app so much; ever since I got premium I’ve had access to great past papers, sample answers, exam papers and they’ve been helping me so much! Thank you to the developer and all the people from Simple Study and I hope you continue you’re brilliant work! ### 4/5 — Great but… *2026-05-26, version 2.0.49* Great app. It’s really helpful and I used it to revise for my science exams. You should download because it’s good but be warned. Nearly half the stuff you need premium for so if your like me and can’t afford it there loads of restrictions. Wish I could have some of the premium features but overall its good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 🙏 ### 1/5 — Very limited *2026-05-08, version 2.0.48* This app is very limited without paying for extra. Am not happy as full access would be very helpful. ### 1/5 — restrictive and has the wrong specifications *2026-05-07, version 2.0.48* i really wanted to like this app but its way too restrictive, how can you call this a revision tool if you can only do one lesson a day? at this point you should just make the whole app paid, don’t download this app, its just a waste of time and its really difficult to find topics in the subjects section that i actually learn ### 1/5 — Restrictive *2026-05-05, version 2.0.48* The app is very restrictive unless you pay for the premium, I’m a student so it is very difficult to afford certain things like this. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Wish I could afford it *2026-04-18, version 2.0.46* I am sure this app is extremely useful for people who can afford it because there are so many good features but there is a premium bit which is understandable because the developers need money but it means I’m so límited with what I can do :( ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-03-07* I made my own quiz with notes from class the and right answer were wrong and the wrong answers were right **Developer response:** Hey Mick, thank you so much for letting us know. We're very sorry about the feature not working as expected. Please email our support at hello@simplestudy, mentioning the issue you're having, and one of our engineers will take a look at your issue immediately. We'd also be happy to upgrade you to a year of premium access for free to make it up to you for the inconvenience caused by this issue 🔥💪 ### 1/5 — SO RESTRICTIVE *2026-02-02, version 2.0.41* It is a good study app and really helpful but it is so restrictive, I’m a kid so I can’t really pay for stuff like this it would’ve been so helpful if basic lessons multiple times a day was free, why do I have to pay for multiple lessons in a day that’s ridiculous it’s the bare minimum ### 1/5 — WJEC? *2026-01-30, version 2.0.41* has no regard for wjec learners so the curriculum is off and assumes that all classes are using the same case study ### 1/5 — Always a problem *2026-01-28, version 2.0.41* Every other day theres a problem with the app making it frustrating to even revise or learn anything until they fix the whole app it might be worth even paying anything ### 1/5 — Cost and expensive *2025-12-08, version 2.0.39* Very expensive and restrictive due to being on free ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing but has limitations *2026-08-13, version 2.0.61* I found the app really helpful for my year 9 assessments and I thought it’d be quite helpful for the next two years of my gcses as I can never seem to fully pay attention in class no matter how hard I try. 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 💙 ### 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!
