They fixed the crashing issues! I haven't had a single problem since my last review! They have tons of titles, not just McGrawHill, but from other sites like OpenStaxs as well! Tons of helpful content! I love this app! It has helped with studying and even breaks things down in a way textbooks don't, expands on areas that need it and really offers so much! I definitely recommend giving this app a try!

The app simply isn't functional. I reached out to let them know before and after the most recent update that there were and continue to be issues and received no reply. The idea of this app is great but it just doesn't work, as the current code is written. EDIT: I sent the feedback through the app and to Simon Allen. I've already offered my feedback through multiple channels and your are clearly aware of the technical issues of the product. You have a non functional product.

I have been using Sharpen for a couple months now and today when I went into the app I had to sign in again this has happened another time but I didn't have any problems however this time after I signed back in all my progress was lost. The courses I was doing are still there but everything else is gone. The app seems to be going through a lot of updates and apparently now I have to pay to answer more than 5 questions? I will still be trying to use Sharpen because I like the content.

App is not functional. Does not let you search for your textbook. Once you scroll through the list and find your textbook, it does not let you add it to your shelf. The first time I tried to add my textbook to my shelf, I got logged out of the app and had to start all over. Second time, nothing happened. I pressed the button again. Still nothing. Great idea in concept, but it doesn't work. Maybe pay your employees more so they put out functional products.

It's a great premise, however, I'm finding a number of errors between the content and my accounting textbook, and what is displayed on the screen may not match up with what is being said in the video, as in the content mismatch is contradictory to one another. 2/5 because I find the app helpful for studying--its easy and accessible. The glaring "but" is that for such a large education company, these are simple errors that shouldn't have been overlooked.

I downloaded this not because I'm in college and studying, but because I have a passion for learning. Getting to the point, this app is not the right one for me. Why would I pay to watch videos that summarize a textbook? I already have multiple textbooks that I found at places like Goodwill or other stores like that. And even if I didn't like reading/had no other access, why would I waste my sparse money as a college student? It'd be better spent on food, rent, anything I need, or even to save!
