### 3/5 — Usually fine but atm….

*2022-05-10, version 4.4.14*

Nothing seems to be showing on the app. Only the collection page shows, and even this when selecting a module, none of the lessons appear. Attempted to restart but to no avail.

### 3/5 — Amazing study aid but really buggy

*2020-11-28, version 2.1.5.1*

I use this app every day for study and revision – the questions are varied and I like the spaced repetition. However, sometimes there’s only one answer option shown, or the question feedback doesn’t match the answers, or the answers are just plain wrong (usually two questions have their answers switched). Also, the notifications that the spaced learning quiz is ready do not correlate with when it actually is ready. Please fix this!

### 2/5 — Bptc student

*2020-02-09, version 2.1.3*

This app is good but could be better. The downfall is that the information is limited. Therefore, it isn’t great for revision. This app has potential. If it adds all module information and exam questions for every topic, then it would make revision easier.

### 4/5 — Fix Practice Quiz

*2019-11-09*

Please practice quiz option on the iPhone.  When you answer it doesn’t tell you if you got the answer correct or incorrect.  The feature works on the desktop app.

### 2/5 — It doesn’t work

*2018-12-04*

So my whenever I open the app I click the explore tab to find some quizzes but whenever I try to type key words and stuff like that I get stuck on the screen then if force kicks me out of the app, so I uninstalled it then reinstalled it so see if I would help and it didn’t. But I really like the idea of this app so I’m hoping this will get fixed.

### 2/5 — Promising but lacking

*2018-02-03*

The interface of this app is really nice and mostly user friendly. However I am noticing a lot of glitches in terms of trying to add quizzes for studying (after clicking on "study" it turns blue and then immediately defaults back to gray). I've also tried generating a random quiz set from a playlist and it doesn't even let me scroll through to select how many questions I'd like. All in all, a really thoughtful app but it still has some ways to go.

### 1/5 — Nope!

*2017-02-01*

Won't sign in with Facebook nor will it probably transfer over 300+ questions I created on My CQs.... garbage...

### 5/5 — Very good

*2017-01-17, version 1.0.1*

Great app with good functionality. My students find this very helpful. Useful for university students and those studying for entrance exams (MCATS etc.) I would recommend this highly

### 5/5 — A game changing learning tool

*2017-01-17, version 1.0.1*

This app is the perfect companion to Synap's great online resource I'd MCQ questions. The ability to keep being retested to reinforce the subject is a fabulous innovation, as well as the quality of the OUP and other banks of questions.

I wish I had had this from GCSE all the way through medical school and the membership.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2017-01-06, version 1.0.0*

It is a really great app to have expecially if you take biology and chemistry and any other sciences leaning towards a career in medicine

### 1/5 — I want my time back!

*2020-09-16*

I spent an hour working on inputting questions.  I tried to save them and they disappeared.  I don’t expect anybody to deliver a product of this caliber and not get compensated, but it would have been prudent to warn users in advance. I’d would have bought your services. But not anymore.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2020-07-22, version 2.1.4*

I was loving this app as I had the materials on the go wherever I went. However, whenever I click on anything in the app now, it just crashes.

### 1/5 — Incredibly infested with bugs and unreliable

*2019-12-23, version 2.1.3*

Questions get frequently lost or don’t load at all. On numerous occasions, personally created question libraries don’t safe and are deleted without any method to recover lost data. Random error messages appear without any explanation of what is happening. No easy accessible support website or technical information. If you want something reliable and be confident that what you create is save, then don’t use this app.

### 1/5 — To expensive to not work

*2019-06-02*

This app should be free. The people that make the quizzes aren’t charging money, but it’s not like we can get to those quizzes. If it was a free website, I would understand the glitches, but to be a subscription service, I expect a functioning service

### 1/5 — Quizzes you make don’t show up

*2018-11-14*

Made 3 quizzes and none show up on my home page.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2018-10-22, version 1.4.3*

App get permanently stuff when trying to sync offline library
Crashes repeatedly
Keep getting “Session token expired”
Please fix ASAP

### 1/5 — very misleading

*2018-05-03*

the copy here gives the impression of a vast and growing library of ready made materials to peruse. the oxford materials for medical students are advanced as just one great example of the type of content available. however it turns out that’s actually he only content available. this may be useful for making your own quizzes but frankly i’m not sure how much utility the app adds to that over what you can do with not ecards if any. a possible learning tool but far from being a content delivery service. i felt misled and deleted immediately.

### 1/5 — Unusable and broken.

*2018-03-28*

Couldn’t load any questions by a publisher. Total waste of my time.

### 1/5 — Amazing when it's working

*2017-06-01, version 1.2.0*

Half of the time, the app is not working and there website is nether

### 1/5 — It doesn't work

*2017-04-16, version 1.2.0*

Yesterday I thought that this app was amazing but now, I change my mind 'cause when I try to edit my own quiz, the app crashes out. 😔

I thought it was wonderful but wasn't. 

Please, fix it. 

Thanks.

### 5/5 — Crashes frequently

*2018-03-13*

Plz fix the app from crashing when I try to change status of my quiz to private

### 5/5 — Major help for the mrcp!

*2017-11-11, version 1.4.0*

I used it for my mrcp in India ,very good!

### 5/5 — Excellent revision tool!

*2017-11-04, version 1.4.0*

If you would like to learn on the go and not be stuck reading at your desk, this is the perfect app for you! The spaced repetition features and excellent content from Oxford set it apart from other quiz-based apps. I found the reminders for questions to be very helpful and when it got nearer to my exams, I was so pleased to see an improvement in my scores!

### 5/5 — Love it. Wish I'd started earlier!

*2017-11-03, version 1.4.0*

Synap helped me so much with my last set of exams! Really wish I'd started using it earlier. It makes revision (which can be quite boring and dull) more fun and enjoyable. I find it useful how you can test yourself as it allows you to see which areas you know well and which you need to spend more time on. Highly recommend!!

### 5/5 — Got me through Uni stress-free

*2017-10-04, version 1.3.0*

Great app. Helped me focus and plan my revision. I never felt stressed or pressured during my final year exams. I would recommend Synap to anyone going through exams - especially Medicine and Economics

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2017-09-27, version 1.2.0*

This is an amazing tool for studying any topic. 

It is useful and friendly.

By the way, could you consider to replace app’s name?, i think that the name “synap” is not easy to related with questions for the users.

Thanks.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2017-03-26, version 1.2.0*

Really easy to use and full of great materials. Helping me loads in my revision!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-01-25*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Perfect revision app!

*2017-01-20, version 1.0.1*

This is the ideal revision app, especially with the spaced repetition features! Nice and easy to use with a wealth of content to choose from.

### 5/5 — Bugs fixed!

*2017-01-18, version 1.0.1*

Amazing now, thank you! Love the app, tons of great questions, perfect for revision.
