### 1/5 — Useless app, dont buy

*2026-01-15*

Don't buy, no updates since 2 years

### 1/5 — My file isn’t uploading into the app

*2025-08-10*

I didn’t even get to try the app cuz it wouldn’t even accept my file into the system. Overall a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2024-08-13*

DO NOT DOWNLOAD, ITS VIRUS !!Please do not download this app , starts cutting 5 dollars monthly without even a subscription and there is no way to cancel subscription.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-05-09*

Doesn’t upload any files

### 3/5 — Unable to login to an account created on desktop

*2024-03-03*

This is a cool platform on a laptop, but the app is too simple and doesn’t allow you an “account login” button on the main screen. The iOS version is a waste.

### 1/5 — Dommage

*2024-02-29*

Pas de français

### 2/5 — Inaccurate reading of PDF

*2024-02-01*

Struggles with reading pdf information that is obviously in the PDF.

### 3/5 — Amazing

*2023-11-21*

So far it seems to be seamless in my research project.

### 3/5 — Its cool that it is trained from the data you give it but...

*2023-11-06*

there's definitely some room for improvement because it can't understand images (or integrate with DALL-E 2) yet and there should be no reason for this bot to answer a question incorrectly when it has all the material you train it on... For every 10 questions; only 7 came back as a correct response as if someone were controlling it...

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-11-06*

Super helpful
