See what you need for a 2:1. Track your grades and deadlines, calculate the marks needed for your degree goal, and turn lecture transcripts into notes, flashcards and quizzes. UniTracks connects your progress with your revision, so you know where you stand and what to work on next. TURN TRANSCRIPTS INTO REVISION Paste or import an authorised lecture transcript to create structured study notes, flashcards and practice quizzes. Revisit your material by module, practise recall and see feedback on your answers. WRITE AND ANNOTATE ON IPAD Use Apple Pencil on a supported iPad to write module notes and annotate imported PDFs with UniTracks Pro. Export presentation slides as a PDF before importing.

These allowances do not reset monthly. UniTracks Pro unlocks manual flashcard creation, Ask, Apple Pencil writing and PDF annotation on supported iPads, and further AI generation within one shared monthly Study AI allowance. Pro does not include unlimited AI. Your saved study material remains available after Pro expires; restricted authoring and Ask still require Pro. AI generation needs an internet connection.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UoL Library at none against UniTracks's 1. UoL Library also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.5). UniTracks's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
