$1k iPhone App replaces College Classes  

Posted by Anonymous in , ,

A new iPhone app called BarMax has now put BarBri in a scare. Both programs are designed to help law students prepare and study for the bar exam, the only difference is BarBri is a series of classes and BarMax is simply an iPhone application.

Since the development of BarMax, BarBri has posted fliers on college campuses promoting the two new "enhancements" that the application now offers. An enormous hint that BarBri is scared is their change in "return" policy. Before, if students didn't pass the bar exam and needed more help they would be charged a very large fee. Now, if they don't pass they are allowed to retake the course free of charge.

BarBri has held this policy solid for over a decade and now within 3 weeks of BarMax going public they have crumpled to the floor and given in. Fighting for the top spot will now be a challenge for real-life programs when everything is available on a cell phone for less money. For more information click here.

I think this is a great idea. Barbri was monopolizing this program. Although this is bad for Barbri, it's good to have competitors come in and make pricing more reasonable for people, especially students. Having it be accessible through phone applications was very innovative. If they offered this program online that would draw in more customers too.

Although this seems good for the students by lowing price for increased value, I do not think that it is a good idea to put an application out to help study for the Bar exam. At least as far as I am concerned, if I were taking an exam such as this, studying via iPhone sounds crazy. I think this is an arena that needs a competitor such as an abridged class, not a tech. solution. There are some things technology should not claim to make easier or solve.
