iPhone LSAT Apps

I purchased the Watermelon Express one and it didn't help me one bit! Wishing there was a good one out there too!!!

I tried the EduPath LSAT app, and thought it was actually really effective ( I know the guy who founded it.)  They use actual licensed LSAT questions, and i think you can buy up to 6 full tests.  If you try it, just make sure you follow the directions so that you know how to use it.  The app requires that you rotate the phone to move from question to passage to answer, etc.   My friend explained that they set it up that way intentionally, so that students would get used to anticipating answers before seeing the answer choices or creating a sketch before looking at the individual  logic  questions.  However, it seems like he's gotten feedback from people who've tried to jump right in without using the demo and gotten frustrated.

I just got an iphone this weekend and downloaded the EduPath app. While the app is free, it looks like you have to purchase a majority of the content to use within. Since I have a ton of material with the prep course I'm taking, I doubt I'll use this much. Plus, I noticed in the description that they use "primarily" real LSAT questions...I don't want to mess with any made-up questions.

Hi,

Two months ago we released LSAT ToolKit iPhone/iPod/iPad App and if somebody tried it, it would be very helpful to hear your thoughts... critique is welcome!

Best,

So, a gmat website has released an LSAT app? What's the supposed advantage/benefits?

I don't have an iPhone, so I can't even look at it. Bummer that it's iPhone exclusive, and not a webapp, too.

I would say the same developers have released the app. Our GMAT ToolKit app is #1 GMAT prep app in the AppStore, so we've decided to use our experience and solutions to create an app for LSAT (Actually 3/4 of LSAT is close to GMAT: RC (RC) and LR (CR)).
it has basically four things:
- 100 officially licensed LSAT questions + in-app purchases up to 6000 (Tests 1-60)
- a well-polished (at least we do our best to make it as good as possible) interface (history, statistics etc).
- questions/information from top tier test prep companies (Manhattan LSAT (Atlas LSAT) so far).
- regular changes on the base of user feedback. It's pretty often when somebody asks us to add additional functionality and he or she gets it in 2-3 weeks. Actually, that's why I'm looking for feedback.

I'll check it out, but let me say that I'm somewhat skeptical about transferring GMAT strategies to the LSAT (transferring LSAT to GMAT is ok). LSAT questions are better made and of generally higher difficulty than GMAT questions, so while they look similar, the strategies don't translate exactly in that direction.

Agree about questions. That's why we use only licensed LSAC questions and some from Manhattan LSAT (former Atlas LSAT). No home-made questions or questions from unreliable sources.
Our GMAT experience are rather reflected in UI and I don't expect there is a big difference. At the same time, I guess we can improve UI in AR section (I believe there should be the better way to draw diagrams on-the-go).

Wouldn't you say that using non-real LSAT questions pretty much makes them "home-made"? The only non-home-made questions would be the ones that LSAC puts out.

That's a valid point. Plus, no offense to Atlas, but they are only a few years old, and the offspring of a GMAT company now owned by Kaplan. I don't know much about their actual techniques, but they aren't one of the elite companies imho. Again, no offense meant to them--they might be good and I just don't know it yet.

I just wanted to say that we, GMAT guys, didn't make LSAT questions, nothing more.
