Please consider an option to disable the quizzes, they disrupt the flow of the learning experience, and the questions and choices are absolutely ridiculous, complete waste of time. ### 4/5 — Work centric *2026-09-01, version 32.1.0* The app is user friendly and it’s fun to sift through summaries of popular nonfiction that I’ll never read otherwise. It sucks that it turns every book no matter the topic into a self help or lesson about the corporate world. I’m on this app to disassociate. Please don’t make me think about work when I’m not trying to. A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking has zero to do with self help or the corporate world. But the summary and quiz make it feel like a LinkedIn article. I cancelled my subscription after that. ### 2/5 — Work on advertising *2026-08-31, version 32.0.1* Your advertising presents as though this is a free application. You even describe it as Tiktok, which is completely free. You get asked all of your interests. Just to hit a paywall. A subscription at that. I would actually use the app if it was free. ### 2/5 — Beware signing up for the free trial *2026-08-31, version 32.0.1* The app itself is good enough I guess. I wasn’t interested so after the Free trial, they make it completely impossible to cancel. I spent half an hour on the phone with Apple rep, trying to cancel and she couldn’t even figure it out. It’s just so incredibly poor customer service. So bad. Honestly, that alone is worth not signing up for the app. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-31, version 32.0.1* No one subscribed to this silly app. No one ever used it. They keep taking money out of your credit card and they will not refund it. Scammers. ### 4/5 — Delivers deep learning *2026-08-31, version 32.0.1* Has problems with over billing and subscription ### 4/5 — I like it! *2026-08-31, version 32.0.1* This is a really great and fun app, getting a lot of use out of it. The only problem I’m having is as soon as I signed up for it now I’m getting hundreds of junk emails every day and the number is increasing daily. Highly recommend this app, but be ready for tons and tons and tons of junk mail! ### 1/5 — Horrible company *2026-08-31, version 32.0.1* They do not reply to any emails you send them at all. Been over a month and no response from them at all. ### 1/5 — No Help or Customer Service *2026-08-31, version 32.0.1* I have never encountered an app with no “HELP” or “CUSTOMER SERVICE” contact available either in app or on the web site. They claim 3 million users because once you sign-up there is no way out. Really sucks. ### 1/5 — Subscription issues *2026-08-31, version 32.0.1* Unable to cancel ### 1/5 — A disappointment *2026-08-30, version 32.0.1* Gives you books to read. Not videos as shown in the advertising. Force you to register even before testing the app ### 1/5 — Great concept, greediest execution *2026-08-30, version 32.0.1* Was loving the app and truly believe in the idea behind it. Too bad the developers got insanely greedy including an ad after every 1 minute chapter or idea and then everytime you click a new book and so on. Hate to see the greed get in the way of a truly great concept. Pro is extremely unaffordable too and they know it as well. ### 2/5 — Not as described on the ad *2026-08-30, version 32.0.1* The app is great. I like it. However i'm giving 2 stars because it was advertised as videos but it's just text and pictures which is a big difference and at first i paid and downloaded because i thought it would be videos. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-09-02* You have to subscribe to start this app. It’s a scam. Do not install. ### 1/5 — Scammers! *2026-09-01, version 32.1.0* There’s no way to cancel on their site. I’ve emailed them,they never emailed back. I found a phone number they took my info. No call back. It sucks being scammed ### 1/5 — Worst app *2026-09-01, version 32.1.0* Why are you making it difficult to cancel the subscription hits like been in a prison you can’t come out ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-09-01, version 32.1.0* They will not let you cancel after the free trial. I had to change my account number because they keep trying to run an annual subscription. I’ve taken screenshots and have reported to the FCC and a few other choice agencies. Amazon has just settled a lawsuit for this exact reason. Let’s see where this one goes. ### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel *2026-09-01, version 32.1.0* I trialed this app for a week and although I cancelled on the app and website, it auto renewed my free trial then auto renewed and charged me. I again cancelled the subscription and the same thing happened. Even though they charged me for an annual subscription, they charged me again a month later. I called and reached their “digital assistant.” I couldn’t reach a live human. They also don’t let you know when they will be withdrawing funds. They just withdraw them. Absolutely terrible ### 1/5 — Scarce and Inadequate *2026-09-01, version 32.1.0* Very sparse selection of book summaries. I tried to cancel after 1 day. Ha! They make it intentionally difficult. I reached out to a response via email and they did not reply. ### 1/5 — Worst customer support *2026-08-31, version 32.0.1* Worst customer support. I was told to email them and quote the code Apple0941, and they assured me my message would be picked up. Guess what? It has now been 20 days, and I still haven’t received any reply. Absolutely shameful and disappointing customer service. Don’t make promises publicly if you have no intention of following up. ### 1/5 — Bait & switch *2026-08-31, version 32.0.1* This started off ok, but the subscription was expensive. I got suckered in by the discount offer but after a few weeks I noticed the content was inconsistent and the texts were poorly edited (spelling and grammar errors). Then it presented me with a quote from Peter Thiel as if he could ever be a role model. Rip-off. ### 1/5 — Deceptive billing *2026-08-31, version 32.0.1* Very deceptive billing practices. I signed up and paid for a short trial period, but found I was charged for several more time periods than I had agreed to pay. Customer service still has not corrected. ### 1/5 — Terrible Marketing *2026-08-31, version 32.0.1* Deceptive marketing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Rewind *2026-09-01, version 32.1.0* Difficult to replay or rewind when you need to. ### 5/5 — Deepstash app *2026-09-01, version 32.1.0* Very interesting ### 5/5 — Not yet *2026-09-01, version 32.1.0* Just hitting the ground. Let me see more b4 I can review it. ### 5/5 — Great so far *2026-09-01, version 32.1.0* Just signed up Let’s see if it lives up to the hype ### 5/5 — I needed this! *2026-08-31, version 32.0.1* I found it very easy to repalce instagram with this app! ### 5/5 — Updated review after a bad experience *2026-08-30, version 32.0.1* So I installed Deepsatck and signed up for pro with 7 day free trial and I got charged immediately, I was so frustrated with the experience, I reached out to the customer support after a few back and forth they told me a refund would be difficult as it was paid using App Store and I would have to reach out to Apple. They gave me an additional solution of 3 months free pro access across all their apps and I accepted it! Really happy with the customer service! Coming to the app I am someone who struggles with reading books as I have ADHD I easily get distracted and was on the hunt to a replace doom scrolling while also learning something. This app just hit the spot no room for distraction I’ve almost stopped doom scrolling in just a month I’ve learnt so much from the content inside and I have successfully applied that to my lifestyle. Will definitely continue the pro access even after the 3 month period. Thanks to Deepstash team! ### 5/5 — Impactful Learning *2026-08-30, version 32.0.1* Excellent way to quickly and effectively consume information and learn new concept with clarity. ### 5/5 — I can share what I learned *2026-08-30, version 32.0.1* I just purchased the app ,so I’m still trying to figure it . I love that I’m able to share what I’m learning with close friends or family for discussion . ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-30, version 32.0.1* I love this app because it it a great way to learn in small bite sized pieces. Replace social media with this app. ### 5/5 — Adam GF *2026-08-28, version 32.0.1* What a great product simple easy to understand information and practical tests --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
