Useless

Doesn’t give me anything. Says it’s generating and then tells me my next one will be ready tomorrow. I haven’t gotten an actual briefing in days. I PAID for this. What a scam. Do NOT pay for the subscription, they’re just stealing your money.

Response from developer

We’re so sorry for your experience, that was on us and not the intent. First, we’ve fixed the problem that prevented you from getting your daily briefings. Second, we have no interest in charging you for something you couldn’t use, send us an email to support@bananaintelligence.ai and we’ll get you a refund!

Should be a 14 day trial!

***amended review ***
Nate was very professional answered my concerns with the app. Wish him the best and looking forward to him fixing the bugs and making it great. Moved me from a 1⭐️ to a 3⭐️⭐️⭐️ due to his response ***

So want my $ back, the news is slanted only using CNN, NPR view points, the financials are from the previous day- so not that helpful, and SPORTS had it for 2 weeks now and no mention of any sports had the Masters and opening day of MLB and NO mention. Good idea and horrible execution, would love to get my refund and delete app.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! We’re taking it seriously and sorry your experience didn’t match the good start to the day we wanted. First, working on updates that increase news coverage and fix some of those kinks. Second, send us an email at support@bananaintelligence.ai, happy to help with the refund. Not here to trap you, here to build some value. Thanks and stay tuned!

Time Saver

Consumable, clean way to get what I need to start the day

Helped me remember my friend’s birthday

This morning podcast saved my life! It was my besties birthday and I remembered and texted her because of DayStart.

This is my new habit requirement and best way to start my day.

How I start my day

This is a cool, simple app. I used to listen to the NYT Headlines podcast, now I listen to DayStart. It’s a personalized snapshot of my day: weather, calendar, stocks, news, and I do a Christian quote at the end.

Would love to be able to share custom notes or integrate with Reminders 🙏
