Looks well made, but...

I can't justify spending $7 when there are already several free applications for the GMAT available for free. If it was priced cheaper (ie. $1.99/$2.99) I might be interested. Most serious students already have study material in the form of books, tutors, etc. and use their iPhones to study on the go, so they probably don't want to spend $7 on something that they might not get a whole lot of use from. Not to mention the test costs $250 :eek:. You should provide some promo codes to get the reviews rolling and get people to offer input via testimonials. I'm sure your application is great, but for now I'll continue to use Veritas Prep.
 
Critical Reasoning Problem

Hi Kenz,

We're sure after using our GMAT app, specially after reading the Lesson on "Critical Reasoning" and after taking the related Practice Tests you will be able to find the flaw within your own statement's logic.

MBA is not just a degree, it's also a mindset ! And if you worry too much about spending $7 for your future, maybe GMAT should be the least of your concerns!

Just give it a shot, it's worth the ROI (Return On Investment)

Cheers ! :cool:
 
I stand by that statement.

I stand by that statement. There are too many cheap and useless apps out there. The good ones are rare and more expensive (it takes time and dedication to come up with a good app). For free apps you usually get what you paid for. And good marketing is about telling the truth, not just painting a good picture.

Cheers.
