What do you like best?
It's pretty simple and easy to use. I like it because compared to other "serious" tests, the ISIP only takes around 20-30 minutes to do.
The nostalgia and art style is a plus, too.
What do you dislike?
Gosh, when you're older, it just gets plain obnoxious. The childish, kid-friendly tones are extremely overbearing when used at any higher grade above elementary school.
I remember that we constantly broke the school-supplied headphones and had to sit in the hall to do it. Very, very sore bottoms after that. The tests themselves are also... rather repetitive. I don't remember exactly what the questions were, but I always knew that they were basically the same. It got to the point where I didn't even need to know the context behind the question, and I just answered it because it became a habit. I would've also appreciated a timer, and page counter for the comprehension test, because I had to manually time myself from 30 seconds into a minute.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For anyone else considering Istation, use it! It's very easy and simple to use. In the future, you'll look back at this application and recall your memories of using it so much back in elementary... In the modern-day, it has multiple interfaces, I would personally pick the one with the least distractions and cleanest GUI, but it's up to your preference.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Uhm, a ton, specifically we used this application for English class. We were solving math questions and assignments, and we as a class grudged through assignments after assignments like supersoldiers. The benefits, obviously, were bragging rights and better education.
