User Reviews for Brilliant: Learn interactively

College Quality Courses

This app is amazing. I downloaded it originally when I was looking for resources to brush up on physics. Since then, I decided to enroll in a math class at my local community college—Brilliant made learning so easy that my confidence has skyrocketed and I started daydreaming about earning a STEM degree.Of course, I used Brilliant to study for my math placement test, and after only working through half of the algebra and trig courses I tested in to Pre-Calc! I haven’t taken a math class since high school, ten years ago! I’m still using Brilliant on the topics I find difficult, the easy step by step process is so good at breaking down complex problems and helping you understand.I’m so excited to keep using this app for a variety of subjects. Thank you so much to the team that built this app and creates its content! This is modern digital learning at its best!

Great for learning small issues though…

I’ve used this to learn pre-calc through calc and that intuition it gives you is amazing. I can’t say I love the style but I’ve gotten used to how the problems are worded. For example, some of their equations used very technical formulas and coming from school to this is a whole different style. Give it a few days though and you can figure it out pretty easy along with some YT videos to help you. One problem I run into a lot is the screen seems to freeze I used to just close the app and it’d work but now I’ve been stuck after force resetting my phone and deleting the app. If this issue gets fixed I’d say easy 5 but the fact I’m stuck without any help from their website or the app making it disfunctional is a bit annoying. Hope to see this fixed and glad to have a learning tool at a somewhat reasonable price (premium)

I enjoy it enough to conquer my fears of math (mental abuse towards humans)

I have been using it for the past 5 or so months I believe. I saw people advertise for it for awhile, some who were even an nasa engineer (mark rober shout out to him). I love the characters and the design for this app, but I feel like there could be a few changes. Personally, I like having notifications because it helps me stay on track a lot. This app does have notifications but they are addressing my league. This helps because I can stay on track with it and continue getting my streak. But that’s the thing, they don’t remind you of your streak but just your league. This also doesn’t help because you have to pay for the app and sometimes I forget and sometimes it feels like I’m wasting money. Solution for this? Either make a widget or do what Duolingo does to remind you of your streak. All regards though this app is very well devolved and thought out, just more notifications please!

Fallacies Discovered in First Two Minutes

App claimed the International Space Station (ISS) is ‘weightless.’ This is a slightly erroneous term but usually a forgivable mistake, if uttered by a layperson. However, as this is an educational app, I believe it should be held to higher standards and user proper rhetoric. Honestly, I am greatly disappointed because I was excited to learn some new trivia! It is a great injustice that this app is propagating slightly skewed information. I would find it a better exercise to fully explain the idea rather than hastily throw out a common misnomer, which even further normalizes this incorrect sentiment. Knowing that people who are not already well-verses in physics would probably not recognize this mistake makes it an even more egregious error!I am fed up with the educational system opting out of truly explaining difficult subjects. There is this trend of substituting them with slightly incorrect, water-downed, and much easier to explain versions of the true problem statement. The responsibility should lie within the institution to face this challenges comprehensively, so that we can build a model for the general public that cohesively explains such difficult subject matter.

Rip-off

First off, this app doesn’t actually teach you, it’s a series of gotcha questions that may be beneficial if you already have knowledge of the subjects and just want a review, but there are no lessons, this is a prime example of a minimum viable product with an expensive subscription. Now, after barely using the app due to dissatisfaction with the “learning” possibilities, I’m slapped with $100 charge for another year right as the holidays are coming up, and I don’t have an extra $100 lying around to spend on myself. There was no warning that my subscription renewal was coming, or how much it was going to be. (I bought the first year on a sale for $60 last year) As far as I know, there is no way of getting that back. When I cancelled the subscription in the app, I had to endure 5 huge screens of scrolling where the company either pathetically begged me to stay, or threatened me with a higher price if I ever dared come back. They must not get many people coming back if they treat them with this vindictive manner on the way out the door. After that, I’m not motivated to go to their customer support and try to get my money back, because the one thing they have taught me is that I won’t get anywhere with that.

54 years old & having fun improving my brain functions

I decided to conquer my fears of inadequacy and stay open to this app, and even in one week I can see how it’s paying off. About six months ago, I tried it but was quickly intimidated and even uninstalled the app. This time, however, I’m staying open and not judging myself when I get incorrect answers. (Although once I did judged the app developers for an “incorrect” answer of mine, but while writing a feedback to them for why their answer and explanation to their answer were incorrect, I realized why their answer was right and what I had missed in my own deductive training to have tracked the incorrect conclusion. LOL.) I do get a nice little dopamine hit though when I see that “Correct!” after hitting “submit.” The program presents in a way that is really encouraging to just get in there and work my mind in new ways. I noticed I feel better and more organized in my thinking when I start my day with about 20+ minutes of these kinds of brain exercises in the morning. So I have my coffee and breakfast while working through some problems in a relaxed way. I’m looking forward to trying other courses/programs after I finish the Logic one.

Helpful but seriously limited

For most of my incorrect answers I try to learn and understand what I did wrong. For some parts the explanations are helpful but wording is so skewed that’s it’s a problem to understand without taking time longer than the initial question.Then I found a lot of questions are open ended or hides important information that makes solving the question a logical guessing game. Example pertaining to a probability question “guess how much money would be made on average per game” the question however does not tell you how many games will be played leading the player to come with an random guess which will lead them to a wrong answer.If the app is built for the purpose of learning or a wide range of learning levels the questions and explanations should reflect that. Instead of assuming everyone intelligence level will pick on the smallest details and understand what they already didn’t understand to begin with.

Amazing App! One Request

Hello. I just downloaded your app and did part of one of the courses. I love this idea! I’ve always had a hard time understanding things like math and science, but I believe I’ll start understanding thing a lot more! I heard about this service from Mark Rober, a YouTuber that you sponsored in his latest video and I immediately downloaded this to try it. I have only one request to make, could you please bring Dark Mode to the app? I’m visually impaired and having Dark Mode would help me not strain as hard to read the text in your app. I read best with white text on black and I have an extremely hard time reading black text on white. Thank you for making this incredible app! I can’t wait to learn and understand more in the coming days, weeks, and months!

Totally different way of learning—fun, intuitive, challenging but not intimidating

I’ve only been using Brilliant a week, but it’s so much more interesting and engaging and fun than similar learning apps. The experience is like a combination of doing mini- courses with puzzle and game apps. I *never* learned math this way—it would have changed the whole experience for me! (I’m almost sixty years old and doing this mostly for fun, though I’m hoping it might help me with some novice level coding I’m also learning.) The interface is also very attractive and clean. My only suggestion: offer two levels of explanation. There were a few questions where the explanation was so brief, it was kind of puzzle itself. I understand you want to keep things brief—that’s good. That’s why I suggest two levels of explanation: first button says “Show explanation.” But then another button appears at the bottom that says, maybe, “ Need more detailed explanation?” for us beginners. But this is a minor critique. I’m really enjoying it. Highly recommend!

Amazing learning tool

This tool is amazing for self-taught learners and students that want to enhance their critical thinking or mathematical ability, and supplement their academic course work. It’s amazing a resource like this available. The learning content is great people that designed the course work really put thought into every problem. Most problems are fun challenging and interesting. There should be more apps like this. ^^^ This is automatically generated response of developers praising themselves and I agree it is a very well made and interesting app for anyone looking to exercise their mind and delve into interesting puzzles and problems and I agree with all the praise given by the developers to themselves in the autogenerated review but I would like for them leave some of the praising up to the user of the app. Amazing work this app is a great supplement to learning and the designers of the app are amazing.
