Great concept flawed execution

Great app idea I use it to study but major issues like can’t copy paste in feed and it no longer allows podcasts to be uploaded as study subjects

Kostenpflichtig 🫰

Gute Idee, schlecht umgesetzt. Die wichtigsten sozialen Mediaplatformen sind kostenlos. Siehe Wikipedia, aber auch YT, Insta, Twitch, you name it. Warum muss man Geld verlangen? Macht keinen Sinn hier für etwas zu bezahlen, wenn ich das Ganze wo anders kostenlos bekomme. Absolut Daumen runter. 👎

Für das was geboten wird sind die Kosten angemessen. Die Antworten zu Softwaredesign Fragen sind besser und hilfreicher als bei PerplexityAI und Le Chat, jeweils Pro, jetzt zwei Monate getestet. Eine Tablet Version wäre noch fein, da angenehmer u zu tippen als auf den iPhone.

Great idea - app is wonky/full of errors

I like the idea and used it for three days, it partially helped me.
What made me cancel the subscription: Feeds generated were all very similar to each other. The feeds did not reflect the tasks and content I ask for, sometimes it was far from filling the feed with the right content.
Feed creation was bugged/did not execute.

Paywall

How about showing at least a feed with a few posts instead of asking for credit card right away? Let the user see the value of the product first!

Edit:

What I mean‘t was like 5-10 personal posts BEFORE even asking for a payment method.

Response from developer

Hi MatinM01, we offer a free three day trial? You can cancel this trial anytime or just start subscribe for a week for the former price of a Döner (3 Euro). Since all content ist generated for you it wouldn't make sense to show you generic posts.

Preis zu teuer

Sehr gute Idee aber leider zu teuer. Man merkt das der Entwickler komplett auf Geld aus ist.

Response from developer

Hi Mädel cord, wir haben selber hohe KI Kosten, weil der Content auf dich generiert wird. Trotzdem sind wir mit 10 Euro im Monat (oder 3 Euro in der Woche) günstiger als jeder andere Anbieter. Werbung wäre nicht ausreichend um das zu finanzieren, weil wir die besten Modelle benutzen, damit es wenig Halluzination gibt.

Erstaunlich effektiv und macht süchtig. Empfehlenswert

War am Anfang sehr skeptisch ob man so lernen kann, aber es ist erstaunlich wirkungsvoll und macht schon sehr süchtig

Im Endeffekt bekommst du einen Feed zu deinem Thema erstellt voller Memes, Bilder, Diagramme etc.

Dann sind in dem Feed selber auch noch multiple Choice & Feynman Aufgaben drin.

Ich habe selber am Meisten dadurch gelernt dass ich Sachen hochlade und dann den Threads folge oder selber kommentiere.

Edit: Der Discover tab ist ziemlich cool geworden jetzt braucht es noch Videos und vllt so einen newsflash oder so Datenschnittstellen. Wo man sich anmeldet.

Bessere Erklärungen als meine Lehrer

Die App erklärt einfach Themen verständlicher. Kein Fachchinesisch, keine endlosen Texte.. einfach kurz, klar und irgendwie so das man’s wirklich checkt.

Woah! Easy there with the payment info

It looked like I was underway with the onboarding screens and all the “let’s go” buttons, only to come to a screaming halt where the app pre-selects a monthly subscription for a “free trial”. There is a name for this kind of approach to signing people up. “But you have 3 days to cancel”, they say? Studies show people more often forget, and opting out is not the same as opting in. Shame, cos it would’ve been worth a try, if not for such tactics.

Not unique enough

Cool idea but the content looks like it was ripped straight from my LinkedIn feed. Honestly, my LinkedIn feed is better for this stuff, and I really dislike LinkedIn

Seems useful but no risk free trial

Makes you pay money to use it beyond 5 minutes. Give me a risk free trial without taking my info first. Thats how every AI tool works and I can replicate these core functions in any free ai tool.

Hilfreich beim lernen

Schon wahnsinn was mit KI so alles möglich ist

Response from developer

Hi yoloo31, danke für das Feedback! Laptop Version kommt!

Update required

But I just bought the app and opened it?

Great in theory, kind of stupid in execution

One of my topics selected was “energy management” and the AI feed was about electricity. lol

Subscription only

Such amazing potential.
I would rather buy it or have it free with ads.
Never-subscriber.

Do not recommend

Devs claim it costs “a few dollars a month per user” for them to operate the app, yet they charge users $14/month. So they “can’t offer for free” but they certainly aren’t offering “at-cost” either, clearly some significant overhead as well. Was this app developed by coders who know what they are doing or was it “vibe-coded”? Why should we, the users, finance your laziness?

Why should I choose to pay for “AI-based learning” when I could pay for Udemy or MasterClass?

You’d be better off doomscrolling Wikipedia.

UPDATE
“Devs” (if you can even call them that) are highly argumentative for people with no demonstrable expertise in any field, would give zero stars if it were an option.

Response from developer

You are free to choose either Masterclass or Udemy. We are communicating everywhere that this is a subscription based app and our yearly or monthly plans are cheaper per month than our weekly ones. We are using the latest models so yeah we don't have some "crazy" overhead. GenAI is that expensive.

Not Free

I'm tired of the free app bait and switch pay for subscription game.

Entirely behind paywall.

The developers seemingly think that asking for your card details - even when accessing the trial - is appropriate or reasonable. Can’t test the app before giving sensitive information, which is shady.

Also, upwards of £60 for a yearly membership? Taking the piss.

Kind of strange

Admittedly I haven’t gotten too far into it yet, but I find the layout of the “social media” styling to be odd. I was hoping to just scroll through interesting topics etc. but having it framed as if people are posting things is an odd choice. We know they aren’t real, so it’s not quite the same delving into the replies of AI chat bots pretending to discuss a topic so you get more info about it.

I guess I was hoping for more instagram style reels and then you can click in to get the information. It is sort of that but faking a social media with usernames and replies etc. I’m not sure is for me.
