  1. [R1] Khan Academy 1/5 · US Needs more work: Videos sometimes do not play, app crashes frequently and lessons also very frequently have incorrect solutions and glitches requiring you to restart the lesson. Typing using the in-app keyboard is also very finnicky, creating and logging into accounts do not work well, and things taught in the videos aren't in the lessons after.
  2. [R63] Quizlet 3/5 · US Pay to use: This app used to be mostly free but to even finish learning a card set you have to pay for it. I get you want to make more money but to not even let someone finish a set is shameful. As someone who’s used Quizlet for over 6 years, the paying for EVERYTHING is ridiculous.
  3. [R81] Quizlet 3/5 · US Pay for everything: You have to pay for what people actually need to help study and what works.
  4. [R10] Khan Academy 1/5 · US Fix this!: I had an account for a couple months and I made 5 accounts because of this problem!when I'm signing in my account it's saying "you password or username is incorrect" even though i know it is! Looks like I have to make another 2 accounts.
  5. [R62] Quizlet 5/5 · US CCMA-RN: I have used Quizlet for years. I love the ease of studying on the go no matter where I am.
  6. [R66] Quizlet 3/5 · US Okay - could be less clunky: I like the app generally, and have found it useful . I like how the free responsequizzes do not need to be exactly worded to match the original answer, it has some sort of AI to see if they’re close. However, editing sets is clunky. If there’s a card I want to edit in a large set, I can’t just hold down on the card while it’s on my screen- I need to go to “Edit Set” wh
  7. [R39] Khan Academy 1/5 · US THIS IS A NON WORKING APP: Since update i cannot access anything because the app keeps taking the user out of the app into online content. Defeating the whole purpose of this app. It no longer works efficiently. Want donations Khan Academy?? You need to revamp and fix this app. No longer user friendly. Sad. Deleting app.
  8. [R61] Quizlet 1/5 · US deleted study set: They deleted my study set and refuse to work with me at all to recover the study set or explain why it was deleted. I spent hours creating this study set to prepare for my college exam.
  9. [R109] Quizlet 1/5 · US 309 deleted flashcards; 3 hours of work gone: They deleted all of my flashcards after I tried to use the ai to add more
  10. [R56] Khan Academy 5/5 · US Khan academy: It’s an awesome educational app. It has very descriptive videos and it’s free no ads no pop-ups for “ get your subscription”. If you’re looking for an educational app, I recommend this.
  11. [R88] Quizlet 1/5 · US Have to pay to work with this app?: Shouldn’t have to pay.
