We all know how it is to struggle with homework and how textbook solutions and homework explanations can be of utmost help. In this article, we’ll review once renowned homework assistant Slader that has become a part of Quizlet as Quizlet Explanations and discuss how you can benefit from the change. The Slader App—How It WasSlader old websiteSlader used to offer homework help to students for free. It literally contained millions of solutions for nearly 3 million problems. Students could search by ISBN to find the book they needed and the solutions by chapter, section, and exercise number. The most popular Slader was among STEM subject learners (Slader math, Slader calculus, Slader geometry, etc.), but Slader homework answers by other subjects such as literature and foreign languages were also extremely popular.

No surprise that the Slader free version was extremely popular, especially among high school students, as according to various reviews, it offered quite a lot: “95% of answers to the Stewart Calculus problems are available on Slader.”—Reddit “Slader had almost every single educational book’s questions being answered by students and experts around the world for free.”—Reddit “I’m genuinely concerned for the future without slader… it was such a useful tool for checking homework answers and working through problems that I had no idea how to start. I definitely would not have got an A in statistics without the practice I got via slader.”—Reddit What Happened to Slader?Slader joined QuizletSo what happened to Slader and why are we describing it in the past tense? The thing is that last year, Slader was acquired by Quizlet. Here is the official note for the Slader Quizlet acquisition that resulted in Quizlet Explanations: “Quizlet is joining forces with Slader to become the one-stop destination for all of your studying needs.” The acquisition of the Slader app and platform with all its detailed explanations of textbook concepts and practice problems made students on Reddit very upset. However, there is nothing to be done about it. So, let’s see what Quizlet Slader now has to offer. What Is Quizlet?Quizlet was founded in 2005 and has been most popular for its Review flashcards and study tools. Nowadays, it has 60+ million monthly active users across 130 countries.
