Hey Dalyce,
I checked the entire Spanish course, and the word "pensar" (or any of its conjugates) just ain't there. I mean, for the entire course! Maybe just an oversight. In lesson 3:03, Sonia introduces "creer", but says it means "to think", but essentially her only explanation is that you need to have "que" so that it's "to think that...". In lesson 3:16, the conjugations for "creer" are shown, but again there is explanation about its meaning of believing, or of thinking something is true, vs using mental acivity.
If you look up "think" in their little dictionary, it only shows entries based on "creer".

Hi Dalyce, Thanks for your comment, you're right that the verb "pensar" is very common and that's something we could improve in new versions by including it into the program. For now it's not accepted since the program only accepts words and phrases that are taught in the program, yet you're right that its meaning is very similar to "creer", as both majorly mean "to think".
If you want to be more specific: Creer is closer to To believe, and Pensar closer to To ponder
