NLMoney hungry swines It sucks, the ads make my laptop lag like every couple of minutes and these money hungry swines think I want to pay for this mediocre bs 'study tool'.

SETerrible Terrible. Even with an excellent network connection and a powerful PC, You will still experience significant lag. The site freezes at times, you get kicked out occasionally, and glitches are a common occurrence. Additionally, it includes ads, which is understandable for a free "learning" tool, but in 7 out of 10 cases, the ads can be highly inappropriate for kids and students. Some valuable features have been either removed or hidden, such as the writing mode, making it hard to locate. Previously free features have now transitioned into "premium" features that require payment. To make matters worse, the built-in voices sound horrendous and are unintelligible in certain cases. Quizlet also used to be better.

GBThey don’t do any quality control I found wrong items on some of the decks, so I looked for a way to report it, but there isn’t a way. They state, “Most of the content on Quizlet was created by students and teachers for personal use. Because of this, you may come across some typos or errors. If you notice that a set you want to study has errors, you can make your own copy and edit it before studying the material. We understand that this isn't the ideal solution because it doesn't let people know about mistakes in their sets or prevent others from studying material with errors. Our team takes content quality seriously…” If they took it seriously, they’d fix errors instead of allowing thousands of people to be misguided. Don’t give money to a company who obviously doesn’t care.

GBThey are liars right from the start They are liars right from the start. I was looking for a solution to a problem in a textbook that I'm trying to figure out. I find the book and the problem in their site. When I click on the problem I wanted to see, it told me to "create a free account to see the answers." Well, since they explicitly said "free account," I figured sure, I'll sign up and get spam for the answer (as you know anyone asking for your email plans to automatically takes it upon themselves to put you on spam lists these days). After I sign up, have to verify my email, *THEN* they immediately send me to a page telling me I have to sign up for a "free trial," then pay monthly for a subscription!!! Why would anyone in their right mind sign up with trickery like that?! They DID NOT state "free trial," they clearly stated "free account." I have no idea why any of you would've signed up for a site with deceptive practices like that. Sites like this really need to be removed from Google...

GBIt’s working, but I won’t renew If you’re looking for a fairly user friendly flashcard app (with a good interface) then this will *perhaps* achieve what you want. It serves my purposes well (I just need to go over content regularly without faffing with a thousand settings a la Anki) That all being said, for what should be a mature app it lacks basic features. Many of the gamification features (badges/achievements) just flat out don’t work - i.e. they don’t count things. Large sets are extremely difficult to use because there is no way to break them into smaller sections -- I’ve forgotten anything I’ve learned after 1000 other cards! The search function is borderline useless; there seems to be "events" occurring, but I can’t locate them. Would I recommend it? No. But, at the same time, £35 is acceptable and I’ve got my moneys worth, but won’t be renewing at the end (or for my next course!).
