Ratings and reviews

The app doesn't let you choose topics to study. It gives you random things to pick from. The videos often crash and when I refresh I can't navigate back to it. It plays something else. Also, I've had the program since 2021 and haven't seen a single update in that time. Should have gone with Becker or Gleim.

You can only study flash cards and watch videos, and you don't even get to pick the videos. What's the point in a study app that doesn't allow you to study the way you best learn. You can't even do quizzes which personally make the app useless

While this app finally brings Surgent out of the web browser experience, it falls woefully short of being any sort of useful. It only offers you the ability to see flash cards, lectures, and definitions and doesn't let you work MCQs or see any detail on progress at a section level, only at the overall exam level. It feels more like Surgent created this just to say they have an app, but it's practicality fails. I gave it two stars due to presentation which is at least clean and simple.
