Ratings and reviews

App does not work as intended. When using the Qbank, the app will freeze and will end the session prematurely. For previous sessions, when you select to retake either the entire question set or the incorrect questions, it brings you to the page to start a new session. You spend more time trying to figure out the app than you do actually doing questions.

The new app doesn't do anything meaningful to enhance the overall experience of using pastest. The older app had smoother transitions and scrolling and better readability, and a more appealing design. This one feels jittery, with scrolling or swiping causing the frame rate to drop noticeably, and even completely bug out sometimes. The text is too small for no reason and the settings don't have accessibility features. Don't really understand the decision to release an unnecessary & unpolished app

poorly developed app and stressful to use. contents are great but app needs work. I find it hard to continue from where I stop. also, when reviewing completed test it sometimes restart the test again or restart the questions from beginning. I find this upsetting and frustrating 😪
