Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 69 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers found the app and website irritating and horrible, often describing them as garbage and useless for learning or revision. People frequently encountered issues with the platform's functionality, such as problems restarting modules, skipping questions without explanation, and achievements not registering. Reviewers also criticized the learning content, noting that videos were long, unhelpful, and boring, and slides were unclear or did not relate to the questions. The system was often perceived as manipulative, marking correct answers as wrong and lacking explanations for incorrect responses, leading to frustration and a sense of wasted time. Conversely, a small portion of people felt the platform was useful for tracking progress and encouraging learning, particularly for home education. Some reviewers appreciated its ease of use, clear questions, and the ability for children to work independently, highlighting its potential as a supplementary learning tool.

It's a horrible website. The questions constantly bounce back and forth from "Which is correct" to "Which is incorrect" and it becomes extremely annoying. Also, there has been a lot of questions that... See more

I use Century at home to support my family and at work

I use Century at home to support my daughter's learning and also as a teaching tool in my role as a special needs tutor.

Century is so user friendly, so full of resources and has so many different subject options that I am never lost for a focus area to work on.

My daughter has the core areas of learning for KS3 clearly outlined and progressively mapped out. She is able to choose her session activities and return to them whenever she wants to.

The app tracks progress, provides a motivating review of her learning and gives pointers as to where she needs to go next. She has found the stretch comments most helpful in taking her learning to the next level.

With my students who I tutor, I am able to signpost them to learning which will reinforce concepts, review prior learning and revisit older learning to make sure we remain on track.

An excellent package for motivated, independent learning.

Great resource for schools

Great resource for schools, teachers and student have lots of practice, lessons examples and visuals to help students fully understand the skills and pass the nuggets! Century has been particularly good for my students with learning difficulties
I recommend for schools, learning companies, homeschoolers and tutors.

The app only teaches basic things. I do appreciate that they have removed the "unlock" mechanic since that was quite bad. However the website is very poorly optimmized. Even on my 3000 dollar PC it runs very badly. The "AI" feture does not work for me and it reccomends things I do not need. I personaly use just the Courses since you can choose the things you want. Honestly I would Give it 2.5 out 5 stars however that here is not an option.

Dear Stepan,

Sorry to hear about your experiences, however I will be able to help with these.

Glad to hear you appreciate the new reveal feature which allows you to see the correct answer if you have got one incorrect.

In regards to the performance of the platform please do see our technical specifications here (https://help.century.tech/support/solutions/articles/44001915920-technical-requirements) which shows device and browser recommendations.

In regards to the AI, CENTURY will recommend nuggets based on diagnostics and nuggets you have done previously. The AI will look to see areas where you might have scored lower in a topic and provide you with nuggets to build your knowledge. It will also look to stretch you where you may have done well, taking you to some more complex topic areas.

If you have any questions at all, please do email us at help@century.tech, or register for a webinar too where you can speak to one of our team.

Best wishes
Team CENTURY

Outstanding and easy to understand resources

Great resources broken down in a systematic and methodical way which helped my daughter pass her GCSEs. Before I purchased the license for Century Tech she was really struggling with just books, but the videos on Century Tech explained even the most complex of scientific concepts in a way anyone could understand. Excellent resource I would highly recommend

i love how it is so easy to use. Century tech is great for learning subjects without any unnecessary distractions as well as problems and it is also very affordable if you’re on a tight budget but your child still needs help with school.

The platform is good for my girls for refresher but it’s difficult to found your way around to change your child’s level and class. I’m not sure if my child is learning the right coursework for her age and class, especially when you don’t have the school curriculum.
I really wish levels are age and class specific so that my girls can learn in advance of class.

Very easy to navigate around the site and set up parental membership. You can track your children’s progress and what they struggle on. Very good for the money and ideal for homeschooling your child as schools use it also.

Well structured resources

We have used this package for more than a year. I found this program helpful as it covers the National Curriculum, which I needed. I want to know what my child is studying at school -Century enabled me to understand what is asked at her level. You can manually choose the topic you want to revise and also check separately on the parent's account how long your child spent on completing the subject and how many attempts.
