Ratings and reviews

Such a buggy app. Video player is super glitchy (video/audio starts over if you lock your screen), flash card sets don't remember your progress, swipe sensitivity on quizes is so high that I can't navigate (constantly accidentally swiping left or right when trying to scroll down; then swiping doesn't work when I actually try to swipe left or right). This is bad. Can't get lectures to play on my phone at high speed (media not available errors over and over). I don't have time for this BS.

This is an enormous step up from the old app. The user interface is significantly better and more easily navigated. Downloads don't stall, and are quick to finish. You now have the option to stream, or to download, either audio or video. Kaplan was responsive when I reported issues after some prodding, and I've edited my original review for that reason. They have corrected issues that were present in the app at launch. Still some issues, but definitely a step up from what it was.

Very buggy. Videos take a while to load. Pauses every time you accidentally change from landscape to portrait mode, even for just audio, and makes an awful notification sound every time this happens. Can't view PDF notes+video simultaneously. Often crashes. Lectures cut off long before their stated lengths. Some quizzes make you click submit response before moving to the next question, but some clicking "submit Response" immediately ends the quiz and doesn't let you attempt it again. C- effort
