Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 69 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers found the app and website irritating and horrible, often describing them as garbage and useless for learning or revision. People frequently encountered issues with the platform's functionality, such as problems restarting modules, skipping questions without explanation, and achievements not registering. Reviewers also criticized the learning content, noting that videos were long, unhelpful, and boring, and slides were unclear or did not relate to the questions. The system was often perceived as manipulative, marking correct answers as wrong and lacking explanations for incorrect responses, leading to frustration and a sense of wasted time. Conversely, a small portion of people felt the platform was useful for tracking progress and encouraging learning, particularly for home education. Some reviewers appreciated its ease of use, clear questions, and the ability for children to work independently, highlighting its potential as a supplementary learning tool.

It's a horrible website. The questions constantly bounce back and forth from "Which is correct" to "Which is incorrect" and it becomes extremely annoying. Also, there has been a lot of questions that... See more

Great learning platform

Great learning platform. My son has been using it for about 18 months and the modules have certainly contributed to his good marks at school. The modules are arranged in bite-size chunks and are sufficiently short to ensure pupils do not get bored and the range of course, particularly for the English GCSE, is excellent. Likewise, the flexibility in the platform to combine courses of different levels (in our case KS3 and GCSE) for the same pupil is really helpful. There are errors in some places but no more than any other learning platform (we use 3 at the moment) and is in our experience one of the most accessible and enjoyable ways to learn. Would definitely recommend.

Century-Tech is truly an asset thank you

We have been working with Century Tech couple of years now and it is absolutely amazing for my primary child. The topics are all relevant and very useful. I am very grateful for the support provided. The tech team has been fantastic too, I may not remember all who have helped with my recent tech issue but initially Diogo and now Troy has been working hard to make our learning experience better ::)

Horrible.

Honestly I think this website could be improved.
Here are some of the times it might be frustrating or it might be just comepletely wrong:
-when you dont know if you should use a capital letter or not
-when there could be multiple choice there isnt
Really the only good thing about this is that you have a 'i dont know' option.

This website is really bad

This website is really bad. The resources used to build this website could've been used to do anything else and it would be much more well spent. The questions on this website are so bad it amazes me, it's just a waste of time and an attempt from the government to brainwash people into becoming comeplety brain-dead.

Okay ,but a huge room for improvement

Horrible app,
The first problem is the key system which doesn’t allow students to learn from our mistakes.The second problem is that this app has a few errors in terms of correct answers as I have rechecked these errors and I’ve found that there are errors in century for correct answers especially in physics.Some nuggets also need better explanations if students get an answer wrong.

Excellent Online learning programme

Century Tech has been helpful and relevant to the children who are using IGCSE syllabus for learning. It is also helpful for parents to follow up the children's learning. So far it is one of the best and affordable online learning. Well done and keep it up!

Very Good!

I'd ignore some of the negative reviews here. I'm using Century to home educate my daughter. It's teaching her very well and I'm learning again! The short nuggets are perfect and stop boredom. The app makes sure you understand something by going over lessons again. I like that it sets the work to her ability. I think it's great, couldn't be without it.

Horrible app, do not waste your money.

The app has so many mistakes in it. they use incorrect grammar, spellings, and say that you got the question wrong when really you got it right. Do not use this app. Awful.

The ridiculous "key method" makes it so you can only see the correct answer three times each day. In my opinion, and in a lot of people's opinions, knowing the correct answer if you get a question wrong is helpful and you can learn from your mistakes.

The fact that they actually have a "report a mistake" button on the actual app says a lot.

If you get a question wrong the little message at the bottom of the screen telling you that you got it wrong is so condescending and just makes you feel bad about yourself for getting the question wrong.

Finally, if you get a question wrong, you cannot try again. If you make a mistake, you cannot try again.

Horrible app, do not waste your money.

Hi Jennifer,

Thank you for your review, we have passed this onto our team!

With research carried out in partnership with UCL and our cognitive neuroscientist, they discovered that information is learned with messages that guide the learner and provides prompts rather than providing the correct answer, which is what we have built into our platform.

Students are then encouraged to try the nugget again, revisit the learning material and then re-attempt. However we have our Reveals feature where students can find out the correct answers up to three times per hour.

We will pass on the feedback regarding the messages, and we do apologise that CENTURY didn't work for you. Thank you for taking the time to send feedback, we really appreciate it.

Many thanks,
CENTURY

No easy way to CANCEL

The reason for a 1 star is the fact that they go out of their way to make it hard to unsubscribe. There is no 'cancel subscription' button, it is a lot easier to cancel your bank card and get a new one! Their help page talks about cancelling but no instructions on how to cancel. AVOID

Full of potential and problems.

Century tech is plagued with all kinds of terrible and decisions that I can't comprehend. there is an option toi restart a nugget, but only after finishing it. This means if you are asked to get a minimum score, i hope you like repeatedly mashing the "i don't know" and "next question" buttons to get a retry. how's about the fect reveal tokens don't even work? or that there is no way to search specific nuggets,but instead do what century says. this is utterly stupid because you will just end up learning a bunch of random knowledge you're not supposed to know all because you can't search for the specific exercises you need. this app is garbage and the worst thing is that it had potential, but the most basic problems usually taken for granted make it next to unusable.

Very good learning resource covering maths english and science.

I recently signed up to the free course that were made available to children affected by the school closures relating to covid19. My children aged 7-8-9 years old soon took to the software and really enjoyed the video lessons and has quickly become part of their routine. They wake up and log in themselves for a couple of hours of maths grammar and science.
