7Sage LSAT

[This is only a review of the app itself, not the course. The course is good.] An app verging on actively bad. Why is it so hard to get to any page I want using the sidebar? If I’m using the 7sage app on my phone, I’m (personally) likely using it for either the Course videos / lessons or the Drills section. Why is “Discussions,” a section most users likely use occasionally at most, at the very top? Why is there still an option for Logic Games taking up real estate when it’s gone from the exam now? Why is “Course,” the thing I’m primarily paying for, at the very bottom (and underneath “Course Review” at that)? In my opinion, “Course” and “Problem Sets” (Drills) should be towards the top, perhaps followed by the various PT-related categories, Discussion, with Course Review at the bottom. Additionally, I understand why it’s the easiest option to do so, but it’s an undeniable turn off that the app basically feels like the website shrunk down to an iPhone. It doesn’t feel app-like or intuitive at all. It doesn’t make me want to use the app; it makes me wish I had a computer instead. Tldr; app UI/UX needs a huge touch up. Though I wrote more regarding the sidebar, this might be the more important issue, though the harder one to fix. It’s not a 1 or 0 star because the app functions (doesn’t crash often, isn’t insanely laggy, etc.), but I wish it were an app that I looked forward to using instead of one I dreaded. (Once again, website is fine, service is good—I’m only talking about the app itself.)

I am a first generation college student and law school applicant. With little guidance I decided to purchase a kaplan LSAT prep book before taking my first test in January . When I received my first score back I was beyond devastated. I didn’t believe that I could get anything higher and wanted to give up. I decided to take the test again this June and decided that I needed different prep material. I paid for a subscription for 7sage (sadly, I didn’t know there was an option for a $1 enrollment for fee waiver applicants until after I paid for it). I was able to increase my score by 10 points. I might’ve not received the highest score but I am able to have a chance of getting into law school which is exactly what I needed.

Minor bug I found since I have the contrast mode on so the website is black — videos put into full-screen mode revert back to white backgrounds and black text. I think what would take this app to the next level is allowing offline viewing of the videos (maybe a similar setup to Netflix’s app that allows users to download episodes to their device up to however much storage available). Out of habit I go to the website via Safari on my iPad. Especially since the test is going digital, I think it would help make things a lot more accessible for tablet users like me who rely on WiFi for internet access, which I don’t always have when I’m trying to study outside of home. Otherwise, I don’t see much benefit/difference between using the app over the website. Maybe this could be a feature for just Ultimate+ students, give people more incentive to sign up for the most comprehensive package?
