Really fun App for understanding things

I have been trying to understand some things on my own, but it always felt boring to me. So I recently tried to find an app to solve this problem, and I found this app that was the perfect thing I needed. :)

Best app to ever exist!

Many, many times I haven't been prepared for a test the day before and late at night right before bed I use Thea and I have used the smart study and the study guide sums everything up very nicely and I honestly can’t find anything wrong with this app!

Absolutely Broken

Thea has genuinely solved my greatest issue, studying is boring. I have always despised studying, I have managed to avoid it for long enough without needing it, but I reached a course where I truly did need to study. Lo and behold, Thea comes in, and genuinely saves my life. An hour of using it a day seven days prior to the exam, BOOM easy A. Genuinely so great for memorizing material.

Option of Thea

It’s a very useful studying tool but do note that you should also use other resources to help you study including Thea

Might as well use Quizlet now

That’s what made it better than Quizlet in the first place the fact that it was free and unlimited. I genuinely enjoyed using it as a uni student, but now it’s just another subscription to pay for at that point, you might as well stick to Quizlet 🤷🏻‍♀️

Subscription Model SUCKS

It used to be completely free and now you have to pay 12 dollars per month. It doesn’t even give you explanations for the other options. Should at least have a one-time purchase business model instead of this stupid money-grabbing scheme

The best

Great app has helped me a lot with college and now getting me through nursing school. Put so many friends on it , literally the best study app

Might as well use Quizlet now

Used to be amazing when it was actually free and unlimited. Ever since they added the new paid tier they started capping everything on free accounts. It was great until they did that, but hitting daily limits is just annoying. Moving back to Quizlet.

Response from developer

We hear you 💛 and we appreciate you being part of Thea. Thea is still free — Thea+ is simply an optional premium upgrade. Our goal has always been to keep a strong free version available to everyone. You should still be able to use flashcards and study guides for free. We've worked hard to keep the free version as accessible as possible, so the limits you're seeing are designed to be modest while still allowing students to use Thea at no cost. If you'd be open to sharing more about your experience, please reach out to support@thea.study, we'd love to help. We're always working to make both the free and premium experiences better. 📚✨

Yet Another App Adding Microtransactions

I have seen this exact same thing happen to other apps time and time again. This app used to be incredible! It was completely free and very helpful. However, it recently changed to include microtransactions and subscription services and including significantly less free features. This same thing happened with many great free to use apps, like Replit, slowly adding more and more payments so much so that eventually you need them to use the app at all. Just a few months ago, I would have given this app 5 stars, but these changes have changed my rating. I’m disappointed that this app is going down this road. Thank you for your time.

It was great before we had to wait 2h for questions now there using it to gain money instead of helping

Aplicativo está se estragando

Era meu App favorito de estudos sempre usava ele , depois que começou essas coisas de pagar estragou o aplicativo totalmente,com um valor absurdo também , tem limite de perguntas agora tem que esperar para responder, não posso mais olhar as perguntas antigas que eu respondia os resumos estão muito menos completos e com símbolos que não existem , estou muito chateada pelo caminho que esse aplicativo está tomando

Really Helpful

This is an amazing app! Though my small attention span can get bored. If these developers are willing to, I would recommend adding sound effects for the games that can be toggled on or off. A speaking tool would also be really great if these developers are interested to improve their app even more.

Disappointing now, what happened?

This app used to be so helpful but now they got greedy and want you to pay to continue using their free study tools. The Smart study now only gives you a couple questions before locking you out and making you wait 2 hours to use it again. I am extremely disappointed in this change to the app.

Se tornou pago

Eu usava esse aplicativo há um ano e meio, já indiquei pra todo mundo que conheço porque gosto realmente, acho que ele ajuda muito p pessoal que está estudando. Mas infelizmente agora a fama subiu pra cabeça e eles estão cobrando, colocando o tempo de espera enorme de uma hora e meia pra poder voltar a conseguir estudar, isso é um absurdo, poxa um aplicativo tão bom se tornar isso é decepcionante. Minha vontade é de simplesmente desinstalar ele, eu não vou pagar esse preço. Parabéns, vocês tornaram esse aplicativo uma bosta

Excellent

Very useful and easy to use

Bin zufrieden😊

Thea hilft mir vor allem für lernaufwendige Fächer vorbereitet zu sein. Ich benutze diese App vorallem für Bio und Pädagogik. Thea ist sehr leicht zu bedienen und erstellt Lernsets mit meinen eigenen Notizen sehr zuverlässig.⭐️

Response from developer

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! 💛 We’re so glad Thea is helping you prepare for subjects like biology and education using your own notes. We love hearing that you find it easy to use and reliable! 📚⭐

Ai costs money now?!

In the beginning, when Thea didn’t have a time limit to studying before you had to pay to continue, it was a perfect 5 stars. I was so disappointed when I found out I wasn’t able to continue studying until 2 hours later considering the fact that this entire app is controlled by artificial intelligence. Terrible update will be telling my school board who I recommend this app for our students to stop using this immediately. And $14 dollars a month is crazy.
