Best!🤯

The best app ever, really cool and intriguing history of people and places and unknown things. I like this app.👌

Response from developer

Thank you, that's great to hear! Glad you're enjoying our stories. There's plenty more to discover.

AI Usage

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.

Scam

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

Response from developer

This isn't a scam, and the accusation is simply false. Nerdish is free — you can read without paying a cent. The ads are exactly what keeps it free. A subscription is entirely optional: it removes ads and adds extras like audio and sync. There's nothing hidden and nothing deceptive here — free reading is available to everyone.

AI Usage

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.

Response from developer

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. To be clear: our articles are written by our human team, not by AI. We do use AI in some internal processes, and we prefer to be upfront about that. If you noticed any facts that looked wrong, please send them our way and we'll check them. We're sorry it's not the right fit right now, and you're always welcome back.
