Which version should I get - the Web/Mobile version or the Desktop version?
If you are planning to go through mock exams when you do not have access to your desktop/laptop, use the web version because you can use it on your mobile. It is perfect for studying during your commute.
If you prefer to study at your home/office where you have access to your machine, use the desktop version because it has several powerful features, such as customized tests, Leitner mode, and offine access, which are not present in the web version. Further, desktop license does not expire.
Content: The content is the same on both. Same questions, same tests.
Validity: Desktop license does not expire but Web Access expires after the purchased validity period (usually 6 months or 1 year).
