What it is

Pros and cons

- Covers 20+ subjects
- Study plans and mock exams for revision
- Long-time users say a redesign removed popular community features
- Pro pricing isn't clearly published
- Few independent reviews
How it scores
Capped for lack of independent reviews; a capable free revision app but mobile-only and less focused on step-by-step homework help.
