doesn't work on kindle
It would have been great if this app works on Kindle. I keep wondering in my mind why the makers didn't do - that of all things. now, I am forced to buy an iPad in order to use the app

Most Frustrating Experience
I created an extensive number of flashcards with the intention of sharing with my peers, but this site blocked me from being able to do so. You essentially cannot share ANYTHING unless you have upgraded to Pro version (not cheap). I am so frustrated by the design of this website and that it makes it seem as if you can share what you have created but you cannot. Don't bother if you have any intention of helping anyone other than yourself.

Study Blue makes me Blue
Too much money. Does it have to cost 85 dollars to get a good grade. What a shame.

Over Hyped and Inhibits Collaboration
StudyBlue is a horrible study tool in my experience. It's fine, I guess, if you just want to make your own flash cards, but there are half a dozen other flash card apps that a friendlier and just as easy to use. The biggest problem with StudyBlue is the horrendous price tag associated to any sort of collaborative course work. This prevents the kind of collaboration that is necessary to check your flash cards for factual errors or even simple typos and it cuts off students who are unable to afford the high cost of this service.
Again, there are a dozen other effective study apps out there, StudyBlue is way over rated, and it does not provide sufficient incentive for users to stay with the program or contribute to the library of resources. This combined with the before mentioned lack of collaboration means that StudyBlue has very little to offer to the user, for a very high price tag.

BEWARE! StudyBlue is a "semesterly" SUBSCRIPTION that is NON REFUNDABLE
BEWARE! StudyBlue is a "semesterly" SUBSCRIPTION, you will be charged twice per year unless you cancel your subscription.
And it's NON REFUNDABLE!--They will NOT issue refunds.
Also, it is way TOO expensive for what it is. C'mon, really?! $60 each semester?!
As if textbooks aren't already a big enough ripoff. Now this. UGH.

Not worth the hassle...
Didn't work like they promised because its not updated fast enough and not relevant to this years term. Biggest issue is that try to cancel, I mean really try to cancel and you will be frustrated beyond your imagination. Bad company policies and bad to deal with..

This is a horrible app...don't bother downloading it. Although if you have a lot of time to waste go ahead...

A big let down
I can't tell you how many times I have had something ridiculous go wrong on this app, and on their website. Sometimes you get kicked off the website midstudy because there are too many people on. That's happened at least three times DURING THE SUMMER! I can't imagine what would account for such high volume of usage during those months. Then on multiple devices the spacebar wouldn't work for about three days! What am I supposed to do with that? I liked StudyBlue when I first got it and if they were more consistent I'd probably continue to use their services. But I can say that after this exam I'm going to find a different service for my studying needs.

HORRIBLE COMPANY!
Company Misleads their customers on textbook material. The claim to have study material related to the book you need but they don't. Its generalized information and has no relationship to the book whatsoever
