Customers also found the website and app to be laggy, buggy, and difficult to navigate, with some experiencing crashes and loss of progress.

What a fall from Grace 10 years ago, I remember when Quizlet was my saving grace in middle and high school. There were no ads, it was free and easy to use, and there were some really fun feautures... See more

Absolutely awful. Having to pay for a flashcard website is a joke. There's a ton of other websites that you can use that allow you to share, export, or combine study guides with ease. I can also go bu... See more

I think the fact they put every single feature other than flashcards behind a paywall ridiculous. The whole site used to be free and almost every student I knew used it. To still call yourself a websi... See more

Quizlet could be great but presently is not.

I've spent many hours, first creating several personal decks in Quizlet, then trying to move forward with spaced repetition. Alas with no success. I assumed that it is possible to use spaced repetition as the descriptive text on the web site is littered with statement extolling the benefits.

However I have found other users that are unable to find the benefits of spaced repetition within Quizlet. I have come to the conclusion it has GONE!

That’s pretty poor behaviour by the company.

My other adventures have fortunately proved useful - Anki Pro is looking good. But do avoid ordinary Anki. It’s full of bugs and great complexity, and is run by volunteers who will likely have insufficient time to invest in the product.

I paid for Plus and spent eyears…

I paid for Plus and spent years setting up an elaborate set of flashcards to support a class. It is now almost useless to me- I cannot edit it, I cannot scroll through it, and my students cannot access it without paying for an account. This is really disappointing and I regret spending all my time building something intricate on a terrible, throttled, unscrupulous platform like this. Shame on you, Quizlet- you are ruining your brand equity!

how far they fall

This used to be a great website whos first priority was to support students. It was created by a 15 year old studying for their French test, who wanted other students to be able to benefit from it as he did, free of charge. Even when QuizletPlus was introduced, the free version was still making a massive impact in educating students of all socioeconomic backgrounds. Now, not only are many of the learning modes restricted to those without a paid membership, but the main "learn" feature is now limited to 5 rounds, after which you can never use it again. That's right - Quizlet is blatantly stopping students from being able to learn. It's truly shameful to see the executives violate and dishonor the very founding goals of Quizlet to further their own financial gain.

For the many students who are also frustrated at the recent immoral changes to the Quizlet website - Knowt.io is a seamless FREE alternative.

I like quizlet on the desktop

I like quizlet on the desktop, but tablets for school are getting more and more common. I was very excited to be able to write out my flashcards instead of typing, but I didn't know that you cant create multiple choice answers on the app when you can on the desktop. It is very important that I make multiple choice answers for my notes so I really hope they can fix this for the app.

Come on, Quizlet...

Quizlet used to be so much better. There are WAAAYYY too many ads & pop ups, I certainly do not need to be bothered by all of these ads while I'm studying, it takes away from learning and it's so distracting. it's just disappointing..

Crap Website, Money Grabbing A-Holes

Quizlet is a piece of crap. The navigation is so hard, even a 10 year old couldn't understand how to use it!

7 day free trial is rubbish - it makes you pay for a month first. I tried complaining to support and they were extremely rude and said 'Too bad'. They are just money grabbing A-holes!

Due to this abomination of a website, I got 40% of my science test incorrect, due to the fact that it marked all questions in the ONE FREE TEST correct.

Unless you want to fail your exams, do not use this crap website - TrustPilot is heaps better for studying!

Never again will I waste my money on crap revision...
