I love the diverse courses they give and that they provide explanations. It’s also nice that they work quick to improve bugs or add new features, for example the dark mode which I love!

Got Scammed out of 117 euro!

Singed up to the site used it about 3 times and forgot about it because its such a bad site, then got a 1 year subscription taken from my bank 30 days later.

Emailed then twice they didn't even reply that was 1 week ago.

Stay away!

Great education tool on learning complex concepts in simple ways but most importantly the customer care is up there with the best

I’ve had a really positive experience with Brilliant. The platform makes learning feel engaging and interactive. It breaks complex concepts down into bites and guides you towards solutions step by step. It's a wonderful approach which nicely blends teaching and exploration. The technical support is also great and responsive.

I LOVE this app, It has made my maths understanding skills so much better especially with its hands on learning experience. I just feel like they should ass a scroll down arrow on the corner of the screen for Web-app users but other than that, its amazing <3

I like it, I have been using it a while and have seen my maths skills improve massively, I also like the logic problems and am excited to try the other courses. The price is steep but reflects the quality of the content. Thank you to Sandy for fixing my account problems.

Great site and app

it takes a puzzle solving approach to teach math and science in an intuitive way

wish they would add more science courses though (Chemistry, Biology, other Physics branches)

I originally signed up with this app and it was only meant to be for a year then without any notification whatsoever they charged me $187 for a renewal...i tried to get a refund but they said it wasn't possible so im stuck with it for another year....they should at least give notification but there was NOTHING...they just go ahead and steal money from your account...needless to say im very peed off about it what can i do! ?NOTHING just stuck with a useless app that i wont even use...😱😩😬👎

Excellent experience with Brilliant; thanks to them, you can approach programming, mathematics, and science in general, in an engaging and constructive way. Following an issue caused by a mistake on my part, I had the opportunity to see how responsive and attentive their team is.

I wish they were more clear on their websites. The "help" sections are unclear, and just when you think you can call them to rectify incorrect payment processing you're hit with "email us at -" its the worst method of any sort of refund. Not to mention the payment system in general is horrible. I signed up for the FREE trial, yk under that monthly basis etc. Didn't enjoy, wasn't my kind of topics (or lack thereof I guess), and so I most definitely cancelled my subscription (in the free trial phase). WEEKS or so later I'm seeing a charge for $184 AUD and its just so frustrating to see this kind of charge (WITHOUT any email confirmation or rather just notification), just silently enter my bank account. I've yet to hear anything back from the company and if I manage to get a response AND a refund from the company I am more than happy to change my views and I guess review on the company. Its just a shame that I have to reach out to THIRD PARTY sites just to refund unwilling payments because the site itself wont allow direct communication.

The app itself is fun and engaging, but beware of their billing practices. During the trial period they flood you with emails, making it easy to miss the premium billing notification. When I was charged and requested a refund within 10 days, well within the EU's 14-day legal withdrawal period, they refused. They even tried to argue the withdrawal period started at the trial start date, not the payment date. After three attempts to resolve this, I had to initiate a chargeback through my bank. Great product, terrible company.

I have been using Brilliant as a premium user for some five years now, and I have found it very helpful. In general it has helped me learn and practice new skills, but also understand everyday technology better. I really like their courses on technologies. They are well explained, well crafted, and digestable. I also appreciate that the app and its design has been evolving with the years. The Koji mascot, the battery charges for streaks, the unified design language, and clear course structures make it pleasant and fun to learn and keep learning. The recently added dark mode is a very welcome upgrade, too. Another thing that impresses me is how easy it is to submit a ticket when I find a bug or an error. Equally impressive is how fast some tickets are answered with solutions. All in all, a great app at a fair price to learn and stay sharp.

Great app and great support

Fantastic support fixed a small lroblem right away.

I think the team clearly wants to improve the client/user experience.

I also had the "unexpected charge" issue (after I deleted my account), and Brilliant support was quick to resolve it.

Overall, the quick response and common-sense resolution compensated for my initial frustration and turned it into a positive experience.

(P. S. I deleted my account not because I have a problem with the app/quality, but because I am lazy and decided at least not to throw money away on unused subscriptions.)

Thought I'd cancelled the trial period but
got charged. No option for a refund.

I had a really great experience using this tool. What made it even better is that the team listens to user feedback and makes the program more user-friendly. I’m happy to see developers bringing ideas to life and keeping features effective. This tool truly deserves more recognition and a higher rating.

Very kind support,
Good communication,
Friendly staff.
For I am not so long busy with the app, I am giving only 4 stars.
They should be nice in future as they are in these days.
It's very refreshing.

Love the app for accessible learning. Cancelling the renewal subscription because I cant afford it right now was not super straight forward but they replied within a day of me emailing them about it and sorted it out asap.
