Excellent app, easy to use. Stastical reports are provided instantly. Customer service is very good, your queries are addressed within few minutes of posting. Team is very helpful.

Excellent app - so helpful to have the links to explain wrong answers. So helpful to see the performance compared to peers too. Thanks so much.

Love this approach. Like the challenging papers and the fact it can be marked in the app immediately along with the video explanation for the corrections.
