DO NOT PAY FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION. I did a 3-month subscription because I enjoyed the free trial. I deleted my account before the end of the subscription period and I'm still being charged. Now I'm out $30 and don't have access to what I paid for. McGraw Hill remains unmatched as the worst 'education' company in the country.
Some bugs with logging into my account when I open the app or use the desktop version. But overall it has helped me so much with studying! I like all the different features it has from summary to flashcards to practice exams.
Just not user friendly, overly complex. After logging in several times, and having to readd my book to the shelf twice, it still doesn't seem to match up. I'm going to have to dig into the app to understand how to get it working now.
I was able to use it for a class over summer semester and it worked really well. Now it constantly freezes, crashes, and when I can get it to work momentarily, the navigation through the app is confusing and not user-friendly.
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.
Literally cannot sign in. Tap sign in. Yes I have an account. Put in email. Put in verification code. I try to access something. and the process repeats all over again. Absolutely ridiculous and idiotic that a massive. textbook/education company cannot have a functional app. No i will not reach out. Countless others have complained about this issue read their complaints.
I downloaded it today because of a promotional email. I opened the app. It asked for an email to send a code to. Once I put in the code I received, it crashed. My phone acknowledged there was a bug, and gave a clear cache suggestion. I cleared the cache, and reopened the app. It still crashes. I was excited for this app.
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!
I love this app! Last semester I got overwhelmed and had to withdraw from my classes. This semester I've taken the same classes and used the Sharpen app, and my biology exam score went from a 68% last semester to a 85% this semester. Thank God for this app. It makes studying fun and rewarding. I really do wish there were more subjects though. I'm also taking an Astronomy class and we use a McGraw Hill book. There is nothing to help me study Astronomy and I can't find an alternative app.
You have to get rid of that STUPID question mark that's at the top right corner of each question in a practice quiz. It opens a banner and blocks the text in a lot of questions and I just can't see! Like... What a ridiculous feature, and I'm paying money for it?! Are you kidding?! And the question mark doesn't even work! You press it and nothing happens! A banner just pops out when a new question starts, and you sit there waiting for it to go away-- Who designed this?! It's so infuriating!!!
