It simply says, “There was an error while generating the answer.” Pls look into thisss its rllyyy annoyingg ### 3/5 — Problema de carregamento *2026-06-10* O aplicativo é ótimo e com várias funcionalidade, mas está deixando a desejar em relação a velocidade de carregamento: mesmo com a internet boa, o aplicativo demora muito pra carregar e até para abrir a parte inicial, melhorem isso, por favor **Developer response:** Obrigado pelo seu feedback.

Porém ainda acho que deveriam ter mais formas de organizar o aplicativo, eu pago a versão premium e não funciona no off-line, sempre dá erro, essa tem que ser uma melhoria pra ontem! Todos os flashcards precisam estar disponíveis off-line mesmo sem baixar, todos os outros apps de flashcards eles funcionam off, e quando paguei, eu achei que seria instantâneo e iria funcionar, porém a ferramenta não funciona. **Developer response:** Agradecemos seu feedback. Lamentamos os problemas que você está enfrentando com a versão offline. Nossa equipe de suporte pode ajudar a resolver isso. Envie um e-mail para support@studysmarter.de. Quanto à organização, vamos considerar suas sugestões para futuras atualizações. Tenha um ótimo dia!

But overall it is a good app ### 4/5 — Good app *2026-04-21, version 16.6.1* Good app its just a shame that i got use the explain button with out paying ### 3/5 — Why the change *2026-03-06, version 16.0.1* It’s a great app and it does work to help me study, but I hate the fact that you guys just making it cost more and we’re not allowed to use the explain button anymore which to me is very greedy. I love the app until you guys changed it cause why are you trying to make a college to pay? ### 3/5 — Muitas instabilidades na plataforma *2026-02-03* O aplicativo em si é muito bom, muito bem funcional e intuitivo, o problema são as instabilidades da plataforma. Adquiri o plano premium e já fazem algumas semanas que o App mistura idiomas entre os flashcards (português, inglês e francês), e também comete vários erros gramaticais. Além disso, forneço comandos para os flashcards e o oposto é feito (peço pra gerar no formato pergunta e resposta, mas ele gera como questão de múltipla escolha). E pra completar, já fazem alguns dias que o App não abre no meu celular, a tela fica completamente branca e só consigo acessar por um computador grande. Estou há alguns dias solicitando suporte mas é difícil encontrar um retorno ou contato válido. Espero que possam resolver meu problema, porque não posso de forma alguma perder meus decks de estudo e continuar sem poder estudar apesar de ter pago caro no plano premium. **Developer response:** Agradecemos seu feedback. Sentimos muito pelos problemas que você encontrou. Nossa equipe de suporte ficaria feliz em ajudar. Por favor, envie um e-mail para support@studysmarter.de e resolveremos isso o mais rápido possível. Tenha um ótimo dia!

Helped me get b enter grades ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-26* Omg best app ever. I have been searching for a free study app for soo long , it’s so easy to use and the ai is also so helpful . I got 20/20using this app , can confirm it works . I am using this for my final exams now ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-25, version 15.7.1* Very good at giving premium features for no cost and overall would highly recommend ### 5/5 — Lapp a révolutionné mes révisions ! *2026-01-24* 😍 Des supers outils, surtout hyper pratique de pouvoir l’utiliser à la fois sur smartphone et ordi pour par exemple faire les flash fards en cours sur ordi et réviser autre part. ‼️Deux choses par contre assez frustrantes : Le fait que la suppression de dossiers soit trop facile, j’ai confondu 2 fois un sous dossier avec le dossier où je réunis tout et j’ai perdu beaucoup de travail, maintenant je suis hyper méfiante. Il faudrait avoir une façon de les récupérer. Ensuite l ia est encore peu efficace voir contre productive, pr exemple quand je met un maximum de flashcards elle en fait au contraire très peu. Il y a des consignes oubliées. Sinon ; J’adore, merci ! ### 5/5 — AMAZINGGGG *2026-01-22, version 15.7.1* This is a amazing app get it it helps me so much ### 5/5 — REALLY GOOD ⭐️⭐️ *2026-01-19, version 15.7.0* I find this app is so much better than all these things like gizmo and quizlet because it makes flashcards for you so you are spending more time learning than making. And it hasn’t got stuff like 3 lives which means you have such an advantage of learning more and can use the time just whenever you have some spare time !!! TOTALLY RECOMMEND ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Why studysmarter is the best! *2026-01-19, version 15.7.0* THE BEST STUDYING APP EVER ABSOLUTELY AMAZING MAINTAINED MY GOOD GRADES !! 10/10!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-12, version 17.1.0* It robbed £50 out my account and I can’t get it back. I used this app once for my GCSEs and it’s been deleted for over 2 months since and it still took money despite me cancelling my subscription. ### 1/5 — Made up questions with incorrect answers *2026-04-13, version 16.5.0* I used this app for taekwondo revision. I wanted it to test me on my theory questions and uploaded the English and Korean terms. The app then decided to make its own questions up which were incorrect. It also had a lot of free text questions which it would randomly decide I had got incorrect. The app also kept talking about poomsae and other terms from world taekwondo (a different sport!!) and not what I had uploaded ### 1/5 — USELESS *2026-04-07, version 16.4.0* Didn’t help at all ### 1/5 — Lento *2026-01-21, version 15.7.1* Se demora demasiado en cargar la ficha de estudio. Lo desintalaré ### 1/5 — p *2026-01-05, version 15.5.0* desgraciados de mrd, me cobraron por una membresia que ni habia elegido y todavia la más cara, ni si quiera hacen buenos flashcards una eme de app y se aprovechan todavia, la peor mrd ### 1/5 — USO EN MACBOOK *2025-10-17, version 14.19.0* No se puedo usar o no es compatible con MacBook Air pro ??? Lo cual me parece recontra negativo , porque no es compatible ? ### 1/5 — Find a different app *2025-10-14, version 14.19.0* Everything is behind a paywall. You can’t access anything without a subscription and you can only make two flashcard sets in free mode. It would be better to find a different app ### 1/5 — Issues when reviewing *2025-09-05, version 14.12.1* It shows i have to review 11 flashcards, when i review them it get stuck and shows that i have to still review 11 cards, doesnt matter how many times i do it, it doesnt change. I already tried restarting the app, logging in and logging out, restarting the phone and it still wont work, not even in other devices like in my ipad. Please, it is impossible to keep using the app. ### 1/5 — Too many Ads with new update *2025-08-08, version 14.7.0* The new update means there are adds with a timer which I can’t coming up after every learnset… this means sitting and waiting every 3 cards…. Please change! ### 1/5 — Pago *2025-06-04* A descrição informa que é gratuito e não tem propaganda, mas para iOS é pago e com propaganda **Developer response:** Agradecemos seu feedback. Entendemos sua preocupação sobre a propaganda. Para manter nosso app acessível gratuitamente, decidimos incluir anúncios, que são cuidadosamente selecionados. Vamos considerar seu retorno para melhorias futuras. Tenha um ótimo dia!

It’s a great way to test the things I’ve studied with my own notes. The study program option is awesome. Greatly recommend this ### 5/5 — Worth the money! *2026-06-05, version 16.14.0* Absolutely incredible, you can just upload a pdf and it can literally teach you the contents very good ### 5/5 — Used this to study for 5 years *2026-05-12* I absolutely love this app, it does everything you want from making flashcards from your own notes (good for uni) to making your own, can do a test of your knowledge as well, you rate the flashcards from don’t know to expert know and it then can make sure you’re studying the ones you need to more than the ones you’re more confident on! it also gives you revision times if you put in when your exams are! i absolutely love it and have used it since gcse’s and now in uni so i definitely recommend **Developer response:** Thank you for your wonderful feedback!

I’m in university now still using this app. Its enabled me to achieve my highest potential. Simply make your own flashcards and test yourself anywhere, at any time! 💗 ### 5/5 — 10/10 app *2026-04-17, version 16.6.1* An excellent app 🤩 10/10 ### 5/5 — T *2026-04-13, version 16.5.0* Thank you ### 5/5 — Couldn’t do school without *2026-04-03* I’m going to be 100% real here, I’ve been using Vaia since day 1 of university. It’s helped me maintain a 4.0 GPA. Even though it’s one of many flashcard applications it’s UI is tidy and clean, and it’s super easy to use and understand. It has some other features as well that are super helpful. With what it offers, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend. **Developer response:** Thank you for your wonderful review!

It would be super helpful if there was a way to put flashcards sets in folders, so the front page is more organized. I also wish there was a way to duplicate a flashcard (it takes a lot of time to remake multiple choice flashcards) Anyways, I love love love this app. Thank you!! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you love our app and it’s helping you in nursing school. Your feature suggestions regarding folders and duplicating flashcards are noted for future updates.
