Photograph your notes.
Know exactly what to revise in 15 minutes today.

UK secondary students from 13 up. It is built first for Years 9–11 working towards GCSEs, but it works for A-Levels and for anyone revising from their own notes.

That is the main thing it is built to do — photos of handwritten notes, not just typed pages or textbooks. Every scan goes to a review screen first, so if it misreads the subject, the topic or a flashcard, you fix it in a few taps before anything is saved. Six pages per scan, and a scan that fails does not count against your allowance.

A short summary, the key concepts from your notes, a set of flashcards and a quiz of six to twelve questions. On Plus you also get longer written questions that come back marked against a rubric.

It looks across every subject at once: flashcards due for review, topics scored as needs work, and how close your next test is. It picks about fifteen minutes’ worth and shows the reason next to each item — “review due”, “needs work”, “test soon”. You can always study something else instead.

They are sent to an AI provider to build the study pack, under a commercial agreement that forbids using them to train models. FacilStudy keeps the compressed images for 30 days after the pack is ready, then deletes them. You can delete your account and everything in it at any time from Settings, or at facilstudy.com/delete-account.

It only discusses schoolwork, and it guides with a hint before it gives an answer. Every message is checked before and after the model sees it. If a student seems to need a real person rather than a tutor, it stops and points to Childline on 0800 1111, and to 999 in an emergency. Tutor conversations are never shared with a study partner.

Only if the student invites them, and only what the student shares: streak, time studied, mastery per subject, topics that need attention and upcoming tests. Not the tutor chats, not the photos, not individual answers. The student can revoke access at any time from the app. Parents sign in at facilstudy.com/partner with a six-digit email code.

Plus is £4.99 a month and Pro is £9.99 a month, both bought through the App Store or Google Play. The student starts the purchase and the family organiser approves it — Ask to Buy on iOS, purchase approval on Google Play. The paywall in the app is written for a parent to read: what it costs, what it changes, and how to cancel. It renews automatically until cancelled in your store settings.

Yes, to start. The Free plan gives five scans a month, the study packs and quizzes they produce, and the 15-minute daily plan, with no card and no trial that expires. Plus (£4.99 a month) adds 40 scans, the exam planner, the AI tutor, marked written answers and Study Partner. Pro (£9.99 a month) has 100 scans and 400 tutor messages.

Yes, because the study pack is built from your own notes rather than a generic question bank, so it follows whatever your teacher taught for your board. It works the same for A-Levels, Scottish Nationals and Highers, and for anyone revising from notes they already have.

Those tools are excellent once you have a deck. FacilStudy removes the setup: the flashcards and quiz come from a photo of your notes, and the daily plan decides what to review across every subject, working back from your next test. You can still read every card and change any that are wrong before they are saved.
