Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 80 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the user experience, finding the website and app to be slow, confusing, and filled with disruptive ads that hinder the study flow. Customers also frequently encountered issues with the product, such as rate-limiting errors, inability to save flashcard details, and outdated or inaccurate study content. The subscription model was a major source of frustration, with many feeling that essential features were put behind a paywall and auto-renewal policies were problematic. Some people also felt that the platform's login process was inconvenient, requiring personal email access on public computers. Additionally, a few users noted that the mobile version of the platform did not work efficiently, and some found the background music distracting with no automatic off option.

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... See more

Usual scam site

Usual scam site. They hide the option to cancel the account and the helpdesk is the usual bot garbage designed to frustrate you and force you to give up.
Study questions were out of date and useless.

I had an instructor account and had been using Quizlet for about 10-years. I did find the suggested answers to be helpful when I was in a hurry, but was unaware of any copyright violations. Without warning or the chance to correct any content that was in question, they deleted my 10-year old Quizlet sets and account. This included images that I took myself and highlighted and annotated. They didn't even notify me my account was deleted. I contacted support and told me they would reset it, but then a different person replied who was incredibly rude and accusatory. Meanwhile, I still see many Quizlet sets with questions that are directly copy/pasted from the publisher. Mine were not.

I requested to have my original content with my images restored and I asked to be made aware of the content that was in violation, but they did not provide it. I had just recently paid for a new subscription and requested a refund, but did not receive a reply. Fortunately, I paid through PayPal and Paypal determined that I was in the right and refunded my money. I will not ever do business with Quizlet again. This happened around midterms in the semester and my students who relied on my Quizlet reviews sets were very upset.

I have found another similar company named Revisely does is similar to Quizlet as well as some other really cool features. I miss play Quizlet Live with my students, but I will never have anything to do Quizlet again.

only cares about student cash

Quizlet was one of my favvv websites to study for however it has become my least fav because it now has become another profiter off of students forcing them to pay so they can use some stupid flashcards. It used to be on the of best study websites and is easily one of the worst!!!!

It's trash now

Used to be excellent, but now it's trash. Completely unusable unless you pay for premium. Choked by ads, and the best features are paywalled. Used to be better than this! It's so pointless because I don't know anybody who would pay money for a Quizlet subscription

Quizlet has become a cashgrab

Quizlet has become a "cashgrab". Students have to watch ads while trying to study using the flashcard method. When I used to use this a while back, I noticed it was a bit faulty and demanded money for quizzes (which is literally their reason of existence). Now, I can't study without an ad for Canva or Adobe popping up and totally erasing my mind of previous information.

unusable unless you get quizlet plus. You literally can't use the learn feature more than a couple times per set. better rec is omnisets, got less variety and a bit buggy, but its so much better to use.

I asked for a refund since I am a student and they and I haven’t used the app at all. They have been harsh in refusing to refund me.

It is a great platform. However on paying to upgrade I realised some of the algorithms were different for the extra features. These other features simply don't work as efficiently (I know how rote-learning should work, I teach).
So, I contact them and engaged with Daniella which switches to Dani after a couple of messages. Except that Dani isn't human. In other words this company is deceiving it's customers when it comes to customer service. Shame on them but also a shame because it's a good product with flaws that could be fixed if they genuinely listened to feedback.
4 stars for the product but zero for responsible company.

I sometimes find quizlet useful for revising but the platform does not work that good on mobile. When I go to flip a flash card the page just moves around instead of letting me view the answer and it does not always track my progress which can be annoying.

No option to have no music

Hello,
Was looking to forward to use quizlet live for a Islamic group circle. Unfortunately, it has background music one has to turn the volume down to avoid it. Music is not allowed in Islam so would have appreciated an option to have an option to have no music.

I advise you to make an option to have no music. My review will change if an option is made to have no music

WAY too many adverts

I used to really like Quizlet as it was really useful for efficiently making flashcards. However, I am now getting unskippable adverts that appear in the middle of my sets while I'm revising, which is exceedingly unhelpful and annoying. The site is so slow and has become confusing as well as being absolutely loaded with ads. Not worth the time.

extreme amount of bugs

For a while I had a great experience with Quizlet, BUT it is filled with breaking bugs like; unable to save titles and important details of flash cards, leaving the user frustrated. The amount of bugs around their entire homepage has resulted in a 1-star review. It was so frustrating I came just for this sole purpose to make 1 star.
