### 2/5 — AI Usage

*2026-08-16, version 4.1.86*

I had this app for about 2 weeks and I loved it a lot. But then I realized that they use AI and some of the facts are wrong. I'm super disappointed because I love the concept of the app. Maybe if this gets fixed and Nerdish becomes credible I'll redownload it.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-15, version 4.1.86*

Can’t read anything without an ad. Either that or you pay for a subscription.

### 1/5 — AI Usage

*2026-08-11, version 4.1.81*

If you’re not looking for it or thinking about it, you will miss that they use AI, OR it might even be marketed to you that they are AI free, as it was for me. I don’t specifically blame Nerdish for that marketing because I heard about it from someone else promoting them. I started reading an article and immediately got this feeling that they were using AI, and sure enough, if you go into Settings and FAQ, they say that they have a team of real human editors, but they admit that they use AI with the excuse that “most modern companies do.” I do appreciate the upfront honesty about it, but this is no excuse!!! AI is untrustworthy in its sources and information. There are other reviews even complaining about inaccurate information. Even if they’re not using it for “aiding in” writing the articles (which I doubt), AI data centers are putting our planet at HIGH risk of destruction and ruin, not to mention all of the jobs that AI is taking from artists. Please Nerdish, if you read this, I beg you to reconsider. I love the concept of this app. I really wish I could bring myself to enjoy it, but as a human who highly values art, intelligence, our planet, and HUMAN made connections and knowledge… I just can’t.

### 5/5 — Nerdish : General Knowledge Application

*2026-08-11, version 4.1.81*

Learn Something New Every Day

### 3/5 — Good app concept, but cannot verify articles and they often include grammatical mishaps!

*2026-07-31, version 4.1.71*

I’ve been enjoying this app so far, it’s a nice way to do some light reading and learn things here and there instead of scrolling. However, it irritates me that there are no references or source material linked in the articles. Plus, I keep on reading quite obvious grammatical mistakes in these articles which makes that even harder to ignore, and makes me question the validity of what I’m reading (also just makes for a worse reading experience). Hopefully this is at least proof that the articles aren’t written by ai lol

### 5/5 — Wonderful to learn

*2026-07-22*

This app is a real treasure ! It’s easy to use it, the informations are not too hard to understand so it makes it accessible for everyone. It has also a big variety of topics and even if you don’t take a premium subscription you can totally learn things just fine. To keep your brain from rotting during vacation and gain culture it’s perfect!

**Developer response:** Thank you! We’re happy you like the app, and we really appreciate your support.

### 2/5 — Great App Idea, Poorly Executed

*2026-07-19, version 4.1.58*

I love the idea behind this app, but ended up deleting the app after reading one article. This was due to the poor writing style and citations.

When downloading Nerdish I was looking for reads that would be approachable while still intellectual. What was read lacked scholastic level writing. Keywords/citations were misspelled, the citation format was inconsistent, no rhetorical awareness, etc. 

If I am going to an app for knowledge, articles should be written by an author that is an academic, professional, or expert in the subject matter.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-07-17, version 4.1.58*

This app is a great way to replace doomscrolling and gain a heightened understanding in one’s interests, possibly even help as study material for students or just to provide background insight.

### 2/5 — Uneducated education

*2026-06-19, version 4.1.52*

Apparently limited number of articles. Consistently poor writing eroded my faith in the quality of the information, although I did enjoy learning from a few articles. I bought a three month subscription but canceled after less than two weeks.

### 5/5 — Overall a great aid for learning!

*2026-06-07, version 4.1.50*

I often find myself doomscrolling when i have nothing better going on, instead of doing that i now read on this app. I find it highly entertaining and an excellent outlet for learning. One question though is this app ai programmed? Thankyou
