Quizlet: Digital flashcards and online study tools Reviews 633

I just bought it and am trying to complete one set of flashcards I made for my law class. It consisted of 70 cards. It wont even let me get through it without spending more money and upgrading. Ridiculous
On top of that, its not like I reached my daily limit for flashcards- I REACHED MY MONTHLY LIMIT in 20 minutes.

Not worth the money, and closing an account is extremely difficult. I closed my account in November after my final exam, but they continued to charge my card even after the account was deleted. I had to close my debit card as a result to stop the billing on the DELETED account. Rip Off.

My daughter enjoyed using Quizlet for her UK GCSEs, but then way after they finished we found they had auto-renewed her subscription, which she no longer uses. I've been in touch with Quizlet and they insist she asked for auto-renew, which she would not have done. I thought it was now illegal to put auto-renew on someone (and a child at that), but after several interactions this awful company has sent a 'final' message, stating the matter is closed. Well just eff off Quizlet, and now I will take this up with the UK's consumer association. Shame on you

Quizlet is a money grabbing company, not a study tool, if you attempt to use it as a study tool you will be very quickly brought to reality through the fact they limit practice tests, learning, and overall retention just so that you buy their most expensive plan, it is truly pathetic, a tool that claims to help, but stabs you in the back when you start improving unless you spend even more money.

I contacted Quizlet support twice with a very simple need: I just would like app not stopping me from learning.

They really threw "rate-limiting" errors while I was adding new words using UI.

Support then tells me my behavior is “abnormal usage” and that I should stop studying for an hour.

No bots. No scripts. Just copy-paste and motivation.

A learning platform that rate-limits learning and tells students to “take a break” instead of fixing backend limitations is absurd.

Deeply frustrating.
Completely discouraging.
Unacceptable for a paid educational product.

I was not able to study at all! I had a huge Spanish test the next day and thought I was going to be able to study the 225 flash cards, but was only able to study 15 before it cut me off to tell me I had to start a 7 “free day” trial!

Keeps asking me to sign in.

Screw off, I'm not giving you anything

Your own blur feature doesn't even work, just copy it and paste it somewhere else to see the words clearly.

Quizlet is a money-hungry and useless website.
I had heard that it was great for memorization, but I was told wrong. Almost everything costs money, and all of the good features that actually help you learn are blocked by a paywall. If you use the free version, you only have access to a flashcard set that has ads in the middle of it, which really disrupts my study flow. Not to mention, the website is not made for video ads. I have to sit at my screen for 2-3 minutes just for a 30 second ad to load, and more than half of the time, it crashes and I lose my progress on the set, or it just freezes and I have to close the tab. I’ve migrated to a different website called StudyKit, which is way better than Quizlet, and it has similar features that don’t cost money. If you’re considering visiting the Quizlet website/downloading the app, I’m telling you, don’t waste your time. It’s such a shame that an app that has potential had to be thrown down into the gutter.

Big daddy quizlet made love in front of me and cancled my pregnancy

If I could rate this app a zero I would. In my opinion It shouldn't cost money to study you should just be able to do it for free. I hope this business fails all together. Screw you Quizlet!!!!!!!!!!

I remember when resources like this used to be free and accessible, but now all anyone wants is your money. I can't get through five flashcards before being hit with an ad. There is no integrity to be found here.

Too many ads, importing can be very difficult, and sometimes it automatically formats or types things I did not. This is a terrible resource.

Lost my draft I spent 2 hours on because of a glitch now i have to do it again

Suposed to be a 7 day free trial, but just found out 1 day after signing up for my daughter to try it out, it's billed me $12.99 for a month and now have to waste my life trying to get refunds. A bit dishonest to say 7 day free trial and then take the money immediately!

Quizlet has added ads and is so cheap nowadays

Love the flashcards, brought me through several exams and customer sevrice is also great :)

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 and minigames too. I studied for tests using Quizlet and I got good grades. Today, its full of ads and it demands a subscription to use in any meaningful capacity, as if its somehow better than any of its alternatives. Corporate greed ruined Quizlet, and its depressing

I can't even login to Quizlet with a password only. Instead I am sent a 'magic link' to my personal email address. The link only works on the current machine. Therefore if I use a public computer to attempt to login to Quizlet I have to also login to my personal email on the public computer. Which I will never do. If I click the magic link on my phone it logs me in on my phone and not the public computer. So short sighted. What a joke.

can't study terms and get into a flow state before an add pops up, can't learn a study set past the first go through (and if the set is big enough it won't even let you get through it all), horrible horrible site that sold out for nothing. Good Luck rotting away as AI and better apps take over (only reason I'm on here myself is because this is the only place my teacher has her study sets).

too many ads , with military propaganda even.
