Every feature is paywalled now
Every feature is paywalled now - they've slowly over the years put every feature behind yet another paywall - disgusting and unethical thing to do in the middle of people's exams.
Look to other apps, the content here isn't even useful any more.

Horrible - Run Away From This Scam!!!
Horrible. This is a scam. They give you the "free" trial. They don't let you now you'll be put on auto-renewal once the free trial is over. After the free trial I forgot about it as we didn't like the product. Then I find out my card was charged. Okay. I gave them that as I didn't cancel in time. But next year I am charged AGAIN because of the auto-renewal I DIDN'T sign up for. That's what a scam company does. Stay away. Horrible product. Useless. Expensive. Dishonest.

They put a paywall
They put a paywall. One of the number one rules to business is don't make something that was once free a paid feature. It is ridiculous.

Quizlet's reputation is in tatters due to their greed
I was an avid user of this app for my Spanish vocabulary practice since 2017. The paywall they implemented in 2022 has put me off from using it.
Imagine if YouTube suddenly said you needed to pay for YouTube Premium to be able to watch videos on the site. This is basically what Quizlet have done, where the most useful features on their site that were free for years, now require a paid Premium membership.
I can afford it, but it's the principle that make me unhappy and unwilling to use Quizlet anymore. Principle being, many people can't afford to pay, particularly young students who are a core audience who uses Quizlet.
Instead of forcing a paywall for most of their features, it would have been a far better business decision to place more ads in the free version whilst retaining all the features, and promoting the paid version as the ad-free version. This would have enabled Quizlet to keep far more of their users (many users have stopped using since the paywall as they don't want to pay for all the features), provided increased ad revenue, retained the reputation of the company, and still encouraged many to consider paying for the ad free version. Awful move from Quizlet to block features behind a paywall, and the reviews on here reflect this! Reputation down the drain, users leaving in droves.

Severe case of paywall.
Severe case of paywall.
I used to use quizlet less than a year ago and it was a good toold for learning. Unfortunately, it has locked much of the essential learning tools behind a subscription making it useless unless you pay...

Was een levensredder, is nu de reden van m’n rode rekening
Quizlet was een echte levensredder en om vlak eerlijk te zijn ook de enige reden dat ik afgestudeerd ben. Nu ik verder studeer heb ik Quizlet nog steeds nodig maar no way dat ik zal betalen voor een quizlet die ik zelf heb samengesteld. Een bakker betaalt toch ook niet voor z’n brood? De flashcards zijn gratis, maar alle nuttige dingen zijn betalend geworden wat me absoluut irriteert. Maak de basis terug gratis maar laat ons dat betalen voor extra opties?
Ik ben pittig teleurgesteld in Quizlet. Als iemand een alternatief kent, hmu!
Update: knowt.io werkt exact als quizlet!! Kusjes, medestudent :)
