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 charged me a 2nd year and then… They charged me a 2nd year and then would not refund though I had cancelled the service before it renewed. I do not know how it became "uncancelled."

GBMagic notes blacklist sensitive… Magic notes blacklist sensitive language. Fails to generate and does not return a specific error message. Unusable for historical information. Contacted support; they took a week to respond and were clueless and unhelpful. The website frequently fails to load fully, or takes an excessive amount of time to load.

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.

GBBasically functional Basically functional. Good translation function for languages. But it is so messy and un-user friendly. The whole screen is covered in things you don't need, constant pop-ups and other rubbish. I would pay for a clean version that had less functionality and just did flashcards properly, but the upgrade seems to give you even more stuff you don't want.
