My favourite revision source and a few improvements
I love the lessons - they're great for understanding content. I don't use the practical lessons that much for sciences but would love if you guys could make your own videos for these too. For maths I like the past paper questions by topic section the most and would love more videos in the lessons. Overall, I prefer lessons that have a video attached instead of just notes as they make the content easier to understand.

Thanks for the lovely review! Brilliant to hear you're getting so much from the lessons and finding them helpful for understanding the content.
Your suggestions about adding videos to the practical science lessons and more maths lesson videos make a lot of sense - videos definitely make complex topics easier to grasp than just reading through notes. We're looking to expand the number of videos we have so keep your eyes peeled :)

Overall very good site
Really good site for revising sciences it covers all the content needed and uses all the essential key words examiners are looking for. Great compact notes, however, sometimes it would be nice if the notes would be more detailed on certain topics.

i love the website
i love the website, however it would be so much more ideal if it was an app and if it covered a lot more focused things by creating a 20min video for example which covers the whole of the specification topic. it would be understandable if it is only accessible with people that have a subscription, i would gladly pay more for that.

Cheers for the feedback! An app is definitely on our radar :) . I'll also raise the longer form video idea internally - 20min deep-dive videos covering whole spec topics sounds like it could be v valuable. Thanks for being willing to support that kind of content too!

I love cognito because the videos are so simple, they cover what you need to know and don't have a lot of extra information. The quizzes are great as they give you a quick recap of what's in the video. I do have cognito plus because I use it so much but think that you should be able to do more without paying.

Thanks for the feedback and for being a Plus subscriber! Really glad the simple videos and quizzes are working well for you. We completely understand wanting more access without paying. We're a small team working hard to make the best possible revision platform, and unfortunately running it comes with some pretty extensive costs from writing questions to building features. Our pro offering is how we can do this.
That said, all our videos are still completely free to watch and we're doing our best to make sure there's loads of useful stuff available without needing Pro.

Great to hear the site helped you get to an 8/9 in Physics - that’s a big jump. Glad you’ve found both the free and Pro versions useful, especially for GCSE sciences. Good luck with the rest of your exams!
I LOVE THIS APP!!
I LOVE THIS APP!!! It has saved my science grades it really makes me feel confident about science ! I have bought premium for the GCSE period and it is so worth it ! I recommend this website to everyone. However there are a few things with the maths section the videos don't match up to tasks but apart from that its amazing

We’re really glad Cognito's helped you feel more confident in science and that Pro has been worth it during GCSEs. Thanks also for the heads-up about the maths videos not matching the tasks - we’ll look into that. Really appreciate the recommendation!
Cognito saved my exams
Cognito is a fantastic revision website, it makes the revision and learning really enjoyable. I find the quizzes and practice questions really useful and if I get stuck the videos always help me to understand. without cognito my sciences and maths wouldn't be anywhere as good as they are now
