Was Good Now Bad
I was so intrigued by Wiser. I saw many advertisements on TikTok about the many articles, videos, and podcasts you could discover through the app. When I first downloaded it, that’s exactly what I did. It was easy to use and a great app to use.
In the last few days that has changed. Every time I load the app, it comes up with an error that it can’t load the lists/posts picked for me. Then, I click on other tabs and they leave me with a blank screen. Nothing works anymore. It was a great app and I enjoyed it very much. However, now it sits on my home screen completely unusable. I hope this gets fixed soon.Amazing concept but could use some improvements
First of all, I want to start off by saying that the overall concept of Wiser is phenomenal. I have always desired to have a space where I can create curations/boards/lists of articles and videos I have read/watched that I want to save. I use the app daily for finding and discovering new articles, essays, and videos. HOWEVER, I have a lot of ideas of how the app can be improved for users. First of all, the Trending Now lists should be updated daily. Additionally, I notice the list features a lot of users I already follow. I’d like to discover more of other people’s lists so I can follow and find other users. Secondly, again, “The Latest” list should also be updated daily. I want to find and discover new lists and so seeing the same lists for over a week can be frustrating. Thirdly, I’d like to see more tags/topics/niches added. I’d like to see categories like anthropology, world events, more niche science topics like astronomy, geology, etc… What I really want out of this app is to discover more knowledge and to learn more. If there could also be a way to link more academic papers/research to the website it’d be fantastic. I also want to be able to see new and fresh trending articles/podcasts/videos that are updated daily and not just the Wiser Editorial curations. The concept of this app is wonderful and I feel passionate about it even though I am just a single user on the platform. I utilize it daily and would love to provide more feedback on it. I hope to see more improvements in future.Instagram for Intellectuals!
This feels like social media for smart people :) The classic user experience, without the classic toxicity and superficial content that comes with it.
Imagine Instagram, but you’re sharing podcasts and articles, instead of pictures of your lunch. And you’re not finding models with attractive bodies, you’re finding thinkers with attractive ideas.Developer Response
