Manhattan Prep GRE Practice Reviews

I recently paid for a subscription but it’s now giving me the free trial version, even though I paid. I’ve tried to call their number numerous times and no ones answers. I’ve even written on their ‘send us a message’ section on the website. Have to resort to leaving a review in hopes someone gets back to me!

I paid for the monthly subscription and checked to be sure. I have restored it a few times and still can’t access the ‘locked’ content. I can’t find the in app support. Why is there no way to contact support from ManhattanPrepGREPractice ?! I’m paying for content I can’t use.

I’m very interested in my quantitative speed. I’ve taken 0 non quantitative questions and the average time on the main progress screen doesn’t match the average time on the quantitative progress screen. Ironically I could do the math myself, but I can’t drill down into the details for all quantitative questions to see the timings for all categories, which seems like a bug. Otherwise seems to work pretty well.

Content wise ManhattanPrepGREPractice is great. Questions, explanations, and review functionalities are awesome (you’ll of course have to do the 3 day free trial then pay $20 to make it worth the content), but ManhattanPrepGREPractice almost without fail glitches and loads blank questions that make you have to keep going back and reentering to get it to load. It doesn’t lose your progress, but it makes reviewing and taking practice tests impractical due to how frustrating and time consuming it is. Fix all the UI glitches and it’ll be a great experience, I’m sure!

I really want to love ManhattanPrepGREPractice. In terms of the practice questions and the ease of making studying a daily habit, it’s absolutely wonderful. I find myself reaching for ManhattanPrepGREPractice frequently, since my phone is always with me and physical GRE prep books are heavy and harder to navigate.

Unfortunately, the software glitches in ManhattanPrepGREPractice make it virtually unusable. As others have mentioned, it frequently loads blank questions, or the question you’re working on randomly disappears — forcing you to reload the screen and lose your progress.

Even worse, answer explanations that contain charts or formulae do not render properly. Several times I’ve seen blank charts that go off to the right side of the screen ad infinitum. You can scroll to the right to your heart’s content, but you’ll never actually see the answer explanation that the chart is supposed to contain.

An app that costs $15/month should not contain these kinds of bugs — especially a learning app. More than once, these glitches have prevented me from learning from my mistakes and improving. It’s extremely frustrating.

This is basic stuff that any app developer team should be able to fix. I’ve tried reporting these bugs, but there’s no option to do that in ManhattanPrepGREPractice . So I guess all I can do is leave a negative App Store review.

ManhattanPrepGREPractice is very well done, but I feel like the study materials were definitely lacking.

I was getting consistent right answers on the questions and doing them fast by the time exam day was close. But then I got to the exam and the questions on the second quantitative section were so much harder than even the most difficult questions on ManhattanPrepGREPractice .

I scored 155 in the quantitative (because I didn’t finish - I was really thrown off by the hard problems) and 157 on verbal. I’m not the best reader so I guess the verbal score was decent, but 155 on quant was wild. For some context, I have a bachelor’s in applied mathematics.

I definitely don’t think the prep pack is completely to blame but I’m very disappointed that my performance on the practice questions was not at all indicative of what my performance on the exam would have been. The questions were just really easy compared to actual test day.

So long story short, this is a great resource but I would definitely supplement it with other more difficult study kits.

I can’t seem to turn off auto renewal, after a failed attempt to find my account settings. What should I do?

Note for developers: Text Completion questions that you get wrong have an extremely bright, red background and you can’t clearly read incorrect answer choices because the font is light gray. Please use a different tone of red for incorrect answer choices. It is remarkably unpleasant to try to read answer choices with the red background.

Good content but the software isn't always functioning properly. It will get stuck out of frame and then you cannot move on because the button needed for continuing cannot be selected.

For the iPad version, would be helpful if ManhattanPrepGREPractice was compatible with the Split View so that I could keep my notes all in one place.

Pretty good app. Would be five stars if I could see all the solutions on my iPad Mini. Often they are garbled and indecipherable.

Of note, it should be made clearer upfront that the questions are the same as those offered in the '5lb' book. It would also be great to be able to access the advanced vocabulary here in addition to the 'essential' 500. Parts of speech should also be listed on the front of the vocab 'flashcards'. Otherwise, no complaints!

I just started using ManhattanPrepGREPractice but so far I'm in love with the way the answers are explained and how the topics are sectioned. Also love the daily plan!!

I paid for the year subscription but everything is still locked and I keep getting prompted to pay.

ManhattanPrepGREPractice is super useful! You can study anywhere. It is very friendly and the mini dashboard is motivating.

The only missing thing is to know and to be able to pick the difficulty of the questions.

Large number of practice questions. Simple layout. Had an issue with ManhattanPrepGREPractice and the subscription but their great customer service team sorted it out quickly. Highly recommend.

Effect the actual test, if they do it is fun and helpful

Works smoothly

I like ManhattanPrepGREPractice very much! Questions are organized by subject. Answer explanations are very simple and elegant. I like the step by step approach whereas other GRE apps seem to overcomplicate things. The interface is also uncluttered unlike some apps that bombard you with ads.

In my attempt to succeed at the GRE way higher than previously, I saw someone suggest ManhattanPrepGREPractice and it’s proving to be my biggest boon. For $8.99 monthly, it’s the most complete, testing and rewarding material I have used.
