How it played out

Retrospective analysisAugust 6, 2026

The average iOS rating rose by +1.32 stars since the release of the latest update, driven by positive reception of the updated study handbook and new video preparation tools. However, a subset of users reports critical post-update issues, including an inability to launch the app and ads that cannot be dismissed during practice tests.
