1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Paywall. I loved Knowt because of their free services, and had an active SAT plan through the app, which I really enjoyed. It was simple & easy to use. But TWO DAYS BEFORE THE TEST, Knowt PUT UP A PAYWALL. And not a cheap one either, a $150 purchase. For a feature I already had a set plan on. So, I do not recommend, especially if you’re trying to find a free alternative to quizlet.

   Ai call. The ai call is bad it keeps relating itself and not answering my questions

3. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Scam. Another subscription fee service that sneaks charges in. Supposed to be easy to cancel like it is to sign up, but my teen had a hard time doing so and don’t you know, ended up with a surprise 59.99 charge on his account for which we can’t get ahold of anyone in support to dispute

4. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Run from this App!!!!!. This app is completely dishonest. It is not a helpful tool for studying. The company is completely shady. They will get your payment information and start charging you $20 a week. There is no way to contact anyone about what happened or how to get it fixed. Just do not use it.

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   DOESNT SHOW TABLES. DATA IS MISSING ON ENGLISH MODULE IT DOESNT EVEN SHOW THE TABLES HOW R WE SUPPOSED TO STUDY AND WHEN SOMETHING IS UNDERLINED IT DOESNT UBDERLINE THE WUESTION JUST SAYS UNDERLINE ALSO WHY ARE U MAKING US PAY FOR AI

6. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Slow and Ad Heavy. Last year my state banned any apps that sell your information in schools. Due to this I lost access to my favorite study site for my French class. This is the site it was replaced with. Knowt is horrible I would never recommend it to anyone the continuous ads that disrupt learning is aggravating and such a huge turn away for this site. Although I understand they make most of their money this way it’s not just that I have an issue with; the speed of the site is horrendous I have never had such an issue loading a flashcard set in my life once again disrupting study flow. Not to mention in the learn section which I use a lot to practice spelling it continuously jumps multiple cards ahead in the middle of typing. Do not waste your time with this site it is poorly put together and actually one of the most frustrating sites I’ve ever had to work with. You’d be better off doing everything by hand.

7. ★★★★★account bans or deletion without explanation

   SCAMMER. The app kept blocking me from accessing other feature and offered me a free 3-day trial, which made me click “purchase”. However, the app withdrew $150 away from my bank account right after I had purchased, even though it’s supposed to do so after 3 days counting from the day I purchased the trial. Plus, the features didn’t help that much because the question bank kept repeating same type of concept even though I chose to review all units. I’m not satisfied with the money they took away from my account as well as the quality. The customer service is also bad when I informed them about the issue. They told me that I had purchased it in April (which is not true because I purchased it on May 11), so it’s explanatory that $150 was withdrawn. I tried to explain it to them, but they seemed to ignore my issue and never replied back up to now.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   :/. On social media right now, this app is advertised as a free and effective way to study for your exams with unlimited tools. It is not unlimited. The questions are also way easier than how they will be on the exam so you shouldn’t really be using this to study for the MCQs. I don’t know what’s the point of advertising yourself as a free study tool when you have to pay for more AI slop.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Helpful but what is going on?. I purchased the weekly subscription for Knowt for $10.61, and it was supposed to last a full week. I canceled it only so it wouldn’t auto-renew, but now I’ve lost access after just a couple of days and it’s asking me to purchase again. Are they trying to scam me, I am just a student and trying to suffer from AP test.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Scammers. they scammed me out of my money

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    💔. doesn’t give free ap tests like it says it does it isn’t unlimited

12. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Used to work. It keeps updating and breaking. Very buggy. I spent $95 and as soon as final exams come up, it stops working 🥲 already contacted support and they “fix” it but can’t upload anything.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    App was good idea but poorly executed. The app is good for studying but the paid features are out of hand. I originally got the app due to the unlimited study features it advertised compared to Quizlet but I can only do like 3 practice runs for AP tests before it tried to get me to pay. Additionally it has integrated way too many ai slop features. It had great promise when it first launched but they ruined it with the excessive push for users to pay to use the app and the ai use.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ai. This is so buns now idk what happened. Every questions is just ai slop, no real sources, horrible ai generated stimulus aswell.

15. ★★★★★saving, exporting or sharing the result fails

    Flashcard problems. Though this app is free to study flashcards everytime i make my flashcards manually and save them, half of my definitions will disapear and its so frusturating. The phots dont save either its like playing a lucky game maybe theyll save maybe they wont.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Review. Not intuitive.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    New update makes it impossible to work. I’ve just spent an hour trying to figure out how to make a flash card set because of the new update and I still can’t figure it out. If you want to upload a picture it has to go through your files which takes a super long time to load. What happened Knowt you guys used to be so good!

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Better, Duolingo. This thing’s weird, but you have to pay if you want to get through all of it please fix this issue

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    free until it wasn’t. Knowt what happened to free features for students worldwide?? I was using the ap practice features and it was working great until a second ago and now they’re all locked behind a paywall. I can’t do any of my ap practices that used to be free because of this. I’ve been relying on knowt all through my high school years and it used to be genuinely good…

20. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Absolutely worthless. Not only does this app grossly over-use AI to function, the questions it generates are so straightforward and basic that they won't help you study for any actual exam. Some questions try to mimic historical cartoons, but it's painfully obvious that the images are AI and they are either hard to understand or completely nonsensical. The AI also makes the app very slow, which is very ironic since it's supposed to "speed up" the studying process. Download quizlet, not this slop

21. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Great when it works, devastating when it doesn’t. Twice now, on 2 separate flashcard sets, Knowt’s auto-save feature failed to work and deleted hours of work. The AI support bot can’t help restore the lost flashcards so I have to wait hours for a human agent to respond and restore them. I edit only on my iPad and don’t understand why this happens. I like Knowt’s UI much more than other flashcard apps but this unreliability is extremely frustrating and I will be switching to something else because I can’t keep wasting my time on an app I can’t trust.

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Id give this app a 0 if I could Ive spent HOURS making flashcards for the apo to delete them ALL. Horrible app. I could not recommend less.

23. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    SCAMMERS. I CLICKED ON THEIR IN APP AD FOR A FREEEEEEEEE TRIAL. I CLICK CONFIRM AND THEY CHARGED ME FOR UNTIL 2027 AND LEFT ME WITH $20 IN MY BANK UNTIL PAY DAY, WHY? I CLICKED FREE TRIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not worth it. Good features are hidden behind a pay wall and uploading pictures is a pain.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Solve gone. I don’t know what happened in this update but , the solve feature is gone !

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    THEY REMOVED SNAP AND SOLVE. for people buying this also to use snap and solve the removed it :/

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Kept charging me and bad customer service. I got a free subscription from my friend. It was a gifted Ulta which is FREE. I got charged $119 on my card and I was so confused. Like why is this happening? Then I texted the stupid AI and they didn’t even give me good advice! They told me the $119 transaction was just an ‘authorization attempt’. HELLLOO?? WHY WOULD THEY CHARGE ME SO MUCH MONEY FOR AN AUTHORIZATION ATTEMPT?? And do NOT do a subscription on safari because it will not work and all the customer service will say is ‘cancel it through the app’ ‘cancel it through the app store’. LIKE I CANT BECAUE IT WAS PURCHASED ON SAFARI. GIVEME MY MONEY BACK

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Auto paraphrase. I pay for this app and I’m tired of it paraphrasing my documents when I try to convert them into flashcards. Please make an option where it just copies the words as is. I am tired of the more important features (google doc conversions) being broken as well.

29. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Knowt Fell Off. built the whole platform off of being the free alternative to quizlet just to cave and become EXACTLY like quizlet - now theres ads on every corner im trying to do my flash cards and my entire screen gets covered by an ad and theres literally no way to get rid of it without refreshing, absolutely annoying this site fell off so bad

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Freezes. Freezes on the “leave a review” screen and no matter how many times I close and reopen the app, I can’t get any further to be able to actually use it.
