Icarus is a study app built for students who want to learn more and scroll less. Start free with class-based review, quick practice questions, and tools that help turn distracted phone checks into study time. When you open a blocked app, Icarus can ask you a few questions first, so the time you were about to lose becomes progress. Icarus is designed for high school, college, and grad students who need a better way to review for real classes, exams, AP tests, finals, and dense coursework. • Free class review: Start studying without uploading anything. • Study before you scroll: Answer questions before opening distracting apps. • Break Mode: Stay sharp over Thanksgiving break, winter break, spring break, summer break, and time away from school with Trivia, Geography, and Chess. • Scholar: Upload notes, slides, PDFs, handwritten materials, and past tests to generate custom review questions from your own class content. • Friends: Add classmates, follow each other's progress, and stay motivated together. • Daily Quests: Hit study goals each day and track your progress. • Topic mastery: See what is sticking and what needs another pass. • Progress tracking: Follow streaks, accuracy, and study consistency over time. Why Icarus? • Icarus helps you study at the moment you usually get distracted. • Icarus makes review short, repeatable, and easier to fit into your day. • Icarus starts free, because students should be able to learn before they ever have to pay. • Icarus helps you stay consistent with friends, streaks, quests, and progress you can actually see. • Icarus Scholar is there when you want more personal AI tools for your own materials. Scholar includes custom AI-generated review from your notes, lecture slides, PDFs, handwritten materials, and past tests, with 0.5 GB of storage for study materials. Your uploaded materials are used only to generate your study content. You decide which apps are locked and when. If you choose to purchase Scholar, payment will be charged to your Apple account. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account may be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings after purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Icarus at 100% against Trackwme's 61%. Icarus also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Trackwme's advantage is ratings volume (366 vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trackwme sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Icarus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Icarus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trackwme has 366 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Trackwme's written reviews are positive against 100% of Icarus's.
Trackwme ships an update every 9 days, Icarus weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
