Getting started

What is OmniStudy?

OmniStudy is an AI revision app for UK GCSE and A-Level students. You answer exam-style and real past-paper questions, and the AI marks them against mark-scheme criteria in seconds with feedback on how to improve. It also includes flashcards, quizzes, revision games, knowledge organisers, a study planner with exam countdowns, and an AI tutor. It works in English and Welsh.

Is OmniStudy free?

Yes. The free plan includes one full subject with AI marking, flashcards, quizzes, games, past-paper practice and the study planner. Premium (£4.99 a month) covers up to 5 subjects and adds the AI tutor and knowledge organisers. Pro (£9.99 a month) covers unlimited subjects.

Which exam boards does OmniStudy cover?

AQA, OCR, Edexcel and WJEC/CBAC at GCSE and A-Level, with topic lists matched to each board’s specification. Other boards, including CIE and IB, can be added as custom boards.

Do I need to install anything?

No. OmniStudy runs in the browser at omnistudy.co.uk on any phone, tablet or computer. There is also an iOS app on the App Store.

Does OmniStudy work in Welsh?

Yes. The whole app is bilingual. Switch to Cymraeg and the interface, study materials, marking feedback and AI tutor all work in Welsh, including Welsh-medium WJEC/CBAC subjects.

AI marking and study

How does the AI marking work?

You type your answer to an exam-style or past-paper question. The AI marks it against mark-scheme criteria, shows which points you earned and which you missed, and tells you what to add to score higher next time. In Maths you earn method marks for correct working, following UK exam conventions.

How accurate is the AI marking?

Marking follows exam-board-style mark schemes and is designed as a practice tool. It is very useful for spotting missing mark-scheme points, but for official assessments always defer to your teacher’s marking. AI content can contain errors and should be checked against your specification.

Does OmniStudy predict my grade?

OmniStudy estimates a grade from your practice performance to help you find weak areas. Predictions are estimates only and do not guarantee any exam result.

Can I practise real past papers?

Yes. Past papers are split into individual questions with mark schemes, so you can work through a paper question by question, get each answer marked, and stop and resume across devices.

Parents

How does the parent portal work?

Your child generates a one-time code in their OmniStudy settings and shares it with you. You enter it in your own free parent account, and you can then see their study time, progress per subject, and strengths and gaps. Their typed answers and AI tutor conversations stay private to them.

Do parents have to pay?

No. Parent accounts are free. Subscriptions apply to the student account, and the free student plan includes a full subject with AI marking.

Teachers and schools

What does the teacher portal do?

Teachers create classes, set homework including real past papers, and see live analytics: mastery per student and topic, real study time, and flags for students whose progress is slipping. Answers are marked automatically against the mark scheme as students submit.

What does Teacher Pro cost?

Teacher Pro is £9.99 a month. It covers multiple classes with 30 seats each, across up to 3 different subjects, and every student in your classes gets Pro included while they are a member.

How do schools roll OmniStudy out?

Through school codes. Teachers and students redeem a code and are provisioned automatically with the right subjects, boards and access. No MIS integration or CSV imports are needed to get started. Contact us to set up codes for your school.

Accounts, data and billing

Do I need an account?

You can use OmniStudy without one: a local profile is created on your device. An optional free cloud account backs up your progress and syncs it across devices.

What happens to my data?

By default your study data is stored locally on your device. If you create a cloud account, your profile and progress sync to secure cloud storage. Study content is processed by our AI provider to generate materials and marking; no name or email is included in those requests, and we never sell personal information. See our privacy policy for full details.

How do I cancel a subscription?

Web subscriptions are managed through the app’s settings via Stripe. iOS subscriptions are managed through your App Store account. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and your progress is kept even if you downgrade.

How do I delete my account?

In the app, open Settings and use Delete Account in the Cloud Account section to permanently remove your cloud data, or Factory Reset to wipe local data from your device.
