Some improvements for mobile version would be great
I have gone through the Kaplan books a couple of times and lost motivation, so I signed up to StaySharp thinking it will boost it. Which, it has, though lots more room for improvement. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances I am solely working from my mobile phone. I read that the website is sufficient on mobile which I disagree with. I'm studying ACCA, and when it got to AA section B questions in the audit, or any assessment points in fact, turning my mobile landscape is not enough. It is still too big, and doesn't fit the entire screen in and there is no sideways scroll button which means the assessments can be useless as I cannot even read the scenarios. I know an app is in the making, but would like it to have been launched already.
Despite there being lots of lectures, the majority are up to 5 mins long and will tell you, you have to read the book. So, I'm questioning myself, how much I am really gaining from this at the price point it is at.
Also, please would it be possible to be able to magnify videos, because diagrams etc. . . Can be too small to read at times.

Hi Guest,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback — we appreciate it.
We’re really pleased to hear that StaySharp has helped reignite your motivation, especially after working through the Kaplan books multiple times. That’s exactly the kind of support we aim to provide
We’re sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve experienced when studying solely on your mobile phone. While our platform is accessible via mobile browsers, you’re absolutely right that some assessment content, particularly scenario‑based questions such as ACCA AA Section B, can be challenging to view on smaller screens. We would always strongly recommend using a laptop/desktop/tablet - the screen size of a mobile isn't big enough, specifically for questions as you have identified.... the mobile works well for a video/quick recap but not the best way to use the platform as primary study mode. The real exams are on a laptop/desktop so we always encourage students to practice on this - is there a way you could use a laptop/desktop to enhance your study preparation?
Where appropriate, our videos are broken down into bitesize chunks to make the content more digestible, so the videos will be based around working through the workbook/questions so the tutor will talk around the notes
We appreciate your honest feedback. It helps us continue refining StaySharp to better support students in real‑world study situations. If you’d like to discuss your experience further, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team directly via live chat - the team are live weekdays from 9-5:30pm UK time
Thanks

Its just tutor reading the book and not delivering the corr concor logic behind the topic. For me atleast i did not make any sense and gets hard to retain and understand the subject matter.

Hi Usman
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review - we appreciate it.
For the accountancy subjects, you are correct in that an expert tutor will walk through the notes and worked examples explaining how things work and showing how to work the questions - this is part of our educational methodology so essentially students will have their workbooks/notes and watch the videos whilst working through the same material and examples
For some subjects, where it is maybe more technical, there isn't always lots of talking around the subject as it is more technical whereas some of the less technical sessions allow for more discussion around the topic
Hope this helps and please do reach out if you need any help or support via live chat - the team are live from 9-530pm weekdays
Thanks

I've been trying to self study with other methods and this one is key and keeps me pushing forward everytime. I appreciate the platform and how up to date the content is each year. I truly appreciate Stay Sharp in my Accounting Journey

AAT Level 2
I've been using Stay Sharp for AAT level 2 for a month. I think the concept is great, however, it's basically them reading from their coursebook out loud with intonations and markings on the book :D I I basically finished with the first unit ITBK and believe the best way to save money and not feel stressed about studying faster, is to buy the physical books from them or elsewhere, self study, and subscribe to Stay Sharp at the end just to download mock exam tests and work through their assessment steps, which I think are good.

Hi Asta
Thanks for leaving us a review - we appreciate it
The tutors do work through the online workbook and chat through the concepts and worked examples, but they will also add in hints and tips, exam focus and real life application to enrich the sessions. ITBK is a very theoretical paper so you will find it is more of the tutor explaining the key concepts and working through examples to help explain the concepts
Glad you are finding the step assessments and mocks useful - these are essential. Exam question practice is the key to passing AAT exams
Good luck with the studying
Thanks

I took the 7-day free trial thing
I took the 7-day free trial thing, and i logged in, and i have to say, that what i wanted to take, the aat accounting course, it is extremely lame looking, there is nothimg useful or teaching-like on the page. The materials are just scanned pages with no key for reviews, and it does not offer comprehensive studying to become sure and confident in your future job.

Hi there
Thanks for leaving a review.
I'm sorry to hear you didn't find our platform and learning content worked for you
Would you mind reaching out to the team and we can chat to you more as would like to see what you were using and gather more detailed feedback
Each of the AAT papers comprises of online work book, exam practice kits, lots of videos, practice and apply questions and step assessments - there is huge amount of content to support - we have thousands of learners and have never had this feedback before so keen to understand more
We appreciate our platform and content may not work for everyone, hence we offer a free 7-day trial. Please ensure you cancel your subscription within the 7 days so no payments are taken
Thanks

I am an employer looking for ease of use for the two people we have hired. Whilst I have only been using StaySharp for less than one week, it would appear that everything is in one place. That's all I need and less work for me.

If you're considering studying CIPD, I'd highly recommend StaySharp!
I've been studying for my CIPD Level 5 with StaySharp for the past year, and I can't recommend them highly enough. The course content is really clear, well-structured, and easy to follow, which makes a huge difference when balancing studying with a busy schedule.
A special mention has to go to Toni, who has been absolutely fantastic! She's always quick to respond, takes the time to fully resolve any queries, and consistently goes above and beyond to provide support.

Makes it easy to study at your own pace.
I wanted a way to study the ACCA online in order to study at my own pace. I found StaySharp to have great videos which I can view and digest.
I purchased paper copies of the books as well and found the combination of the online content and physical book to work for me.
