The overall app seems good though. ### 2/5 — Fix issue *2024-07-26, version 1.38* I’ve been a user of the app for quite some time. However, the app seemed to stop working. I deleted and installed it again, but there is an issue with the register/sign-in option. It keeps loading and never goes through. Then, it shows a message with an error on it. Is this app disabled? ### 1/5 — I can’t register *2024-06-30, version 1.38* While registering, after I write my phone number and press continue it starts loading but it never ends. I tried to register a few times and it just gets stuck after the phone number part.(there is nothing wrong with my internet connection) ### 1/5 — Good Idea - But Utterly Useless *2024-05-16, version 1.38* The idea is fantastic - I would love to be able to scan notes or a text book and get useful flashcards. However, the AI is so underdeveloped that I am quite surprised they even released it. Let me give you some examples of what Kado creates. To test the app, I uploaded some pages from a basic biology textbook explaining cell membranes. 19 out of the 21 flashcards generated with Kado were utterly useless or, even worse, false. For example, one card asked “What organ circulates the body” with the answer being “Blood plasma”. Blood plasma is not an organ. Indeed, blood is not an organ. Another flash card asked “What is the main organ that is involved in diffusion?” with the answer being “Kidney Left”. There are many organs involved in diffusion - sure the left kidney is one, but so is the right kidney, the intestines, and many others! There were several questions that focused on memorizing section numbers rather than content. For example, one card asked “What section discusses the diffusion across cell membranes” with the answer being “C5.1”. There were four of these cards in a set of 21. Examples were completely misunderstood by the AI. The textbook included an example to illustrate how diffusion works. It explained that by dipping one end of a paper towel in water, you can watch the water travel up the adjacent dry part of the paper towel via diffusion. However, the AI created this question: “What is the next step in diffusion” with the answer “take another piece of paper toweling and screw at [sic] up tightly into a ball”. As you can see, Kado ranges from hilariously bad to dangerously untruthful. ### 4/5 — good app- few changes *2023-11-29, version 1.38* ok so this app is rly helpful. great idea generally good execution. only thing-obviously the flashcards are generated by ai. this means the answers to the question sometimes dont make sense. this would be rly easy to fix if u just allow users to chnage the flashcard answers. Also, a keyword option would be helpful too. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2023-11-25, version 1.38* I struggle to type in any username, if I do, it always says, "This username is already taken", like what the hell. Please fix this problem. ### 1/5 — no code *2023-10-07, version 1.38* cannot get into the app it’s supposed to send a code to my phone haven’t received one yet! ### 1/5 — 1 star rating from me *2023-09-26, version 1.38* When I use pictures of my notes, it creates gibberish for some words, and doesn’t pick up the actual notes. I will use printed papers and still nothing. And it only creates either a few or a bunch of flash cards. I would rather right them down then get stuff that doesn’t help ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-09-24, version 1.38* Let’s make this short, I signed up and did the whole logging in process only to have to restart my phone 3 times and the camera function still not working DONT waste your time on this ### 1/5 — Could use improvements. *2023-09-19, version 1.38* Not the best app for flash cards i know. especially since it’s ai, it’s reallllyyy bad in my opinion. or maybe it’s because i used “Tagalog” for the auto generated flash cards? but it would be perfect if you could also make your own custom flash cards. ### 4/5 — Confused *2023-09-10, version 1.38* Ive just downloaded this to help with gcse revision. It works well up until i need to “select a subject”. I write the name of the subject, choose the colour but it doesnt let me scroll down and click the orange button at the bottom of the screen. ### 2/5 — slow *2023-08-24, version 1.38* so I was looking forward to this app but guess not. I love the concept but the app is very slow and I cannot upload pictures or click pictures bcz it is not opening. Please fix this ### 1/5 — Crap *2023-06-22* I couldn’t save anything ### 1/5 — UNSUNSTALLED *2023-05-29, version 1.38* Why does it need my phone number and email is fine too and my age and why does it need my microphone? Horrible ### 1/5 — For your own sake, don’t get the app. *2023-04-27, version 1.38* So, lets get straight to the point. I downloaded this app to study, and when I took a picture of my notes (very clear and organized, mind you) The text came out all wonky and a majority of it was practically gibberish, illegible nonsense. I understand you can go in and correct any errors it made, but thats a way more tedious and annoying process and it would be WAY faster to simply go to your local dollar tree, pick up some flashcards, and get to writing. Seriously, not even exaggerating. Do NOT waste your time with this. It’d be way more efficient to do it yourself, rather than using this app. ### 1/5 — 1 star rating from me *2023-04-20* When I use pictures of my notes, it creates gibberish for some words, and doesn’t pick up the actual notes, and asks questions that won’t even help me, I do no recommend ### 2/5 — Cool technology, but unhelpful *2023-04-18, version 1.38* The first thing I used this app for was studying for a science test. It seemed great at first and the first question was what carries energy but not matter? The answer: a wave. That was great but the next five question were all about if I am on a raft what would my friend do? Dive. If my friend cannonballs what happens? Wave. What kind of day would you imagine floating on a raft? A warm summer day. It just didnt make sense. For the record there was an example of floating on a raft and my friend jumps in my notes, but only one to two sentences while the app left out the actual important stuff. One other thing that could be better is the app doesnt allow you to delete or edit flashcards. So while there might be some helpful ones I am stuck trying to figure out if my friend did a cannonball or a dive. This app is a great idea and the use of AI is incredible but it is not helpful and makes me frustrated. And now I am writing this review while I am supposed to be studying for my test tomorrow :( ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-03-05, version 1.38* I saw a recommendation on Pinterest and it was a lie dot get it waist of your money s total trash I want a refund ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-02-15, version 1.38* Even the registration fails every single time ### 1/5 — Sucks *2025-09-11, version 1.38* Legit just downloaded tried to register and the phone number won't work I tried mine my sisters and my dad's nothing works ### 1/5 — So many errors *2025-09-09, version 1.38* I couldn’t even register for the app without an error.

But then it signed me out and I tried to sign back it but it won’t let me. This app has a lot of work to do. Keep working on it and this app will be perfect but for right now it’s not close to perfect… ### 1/5 — super bad *2024-10-03, version 1.38* I can't even register ### 1/5 — Fix the app…. *2024-09-03, version 1.38* I’m not a Karen or anything btw but this app is bad don’t get it, I genuinely thought it will help me cs it’s a genius idea but lots of bugs and issues that need to be fixed, do not recommend ### 1/5 — Error *2024-08-27, version 1.38* It loaded forever and showed an error message whenever I entered my phone number. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — roblox *2024-11-13, version 1.38* its okay, works ### 5/5 — Great App!! *2024-04-17, version 1.38* this wonderful app is amazing! in 5 minuits, i already laernt so much! i thought this app wouldn't work out but i thought wrong!! try it out. ### 5/5 — Flash cards *2023-03-04, version 1.38* This app is so amazing!!! Whoever made this app TYSM!!! This app has saved me before midterms and by helping my study smarter not harder! I really recommend getting this app if you struggle studying! ### 5/5 — My review *2022-10-02, version 1.38* I gotta say at first when I was recommended this app by a friend I thought it wouldn’t be great but after i tried it, it was better then expected. 1. Their ai is surprisingly great at making notes from the pictures but sometimes makes spelling mistakes 2. The flash cards they make are really helpful ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-09-12, version 1.37* Love the app does what is say. But it needs to be better at reading handwriting. ### 5/5 — Veer niceeee *2022-09-06, version 1.37* The best study app ever ### 5/5 — Great micro learning tool *2022-07-30, version 1.35* I have always been a fan of flashcards and microlearning in general. Nowadays, no one wants to study by reading long pages of information that can be shorten in a small bite. Once you try learning by flashcards, especially with Kado, you will never go back to any other method. ### 5/5 — The concept is great. *2022-07-20, version 1.35* Feature request 1. Be able to edit the flash cards . 2. Better recognition of text . 3. Spaced repetition. 4. Be able to make and edit own flash card . ### 5/5 — Wow *2022-07-04, version 1.35* Woah. Search feature is almost magical. ### 5/5 — AMAZING SO HELPFUL 💗💗💗 *2022-04-25, version 1.2* this is honestly the best app i’ve ever used i have tried loads of apps like this but none of them seem to help me this has been so helpful and incredible i defiantly recommend that u download this 🦋🦋🦋 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
