Ratings and reviews

One of the worst apps on playstore right now, can't begin tests on the desktop according to the allocated time slots, constant problems of login in and even just navigate of the app makes no sense (should even be in use if the app has so many problems)

*Urgent* Is the app meant to alert users when it is time to upload their documents during test taking. I just finished writing an exam however I DID NOT get any sound alert that the uploading period had started. Yes I TESTED the sound before starting.

The idea behind the app is great. Being able to write at home has been better for my anxiety and stress levels so that I don't have a problem with. The problem, is the app itself! It is very distracting because if the action completed is blurred, then you have to do it again. This takes time away from actually writing the exam. And when the app wants to see the exam script, it is 10 minutes into the exam so the page is blank. It doesn't make sense and is very frustrating.

What’s new
