Such a great app

Love the app came across it and thought I’d try it out and I love the way it breaks down the reading into manageable chunks and the fun facts or did you know. Really helps someone like me with dyslexia.

The only thing I’d wish the app had was a reference list or clear sources for us to do additional research or fact check as there’s no real proof of where the information is sourced from. And would be great to dive deeper so if that could be added that’d be even better!

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.

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.

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.

Good app concept, but cannot verify articles and they often include grammatical mishaps!

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

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. We’re steadily reviewing and improving the articles, including grammar, clarity, and accuracy, but working through the full library takes time. Articles that have already been reviewed now show the date of their latest update.

Wonderful to learn

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!

Great App Idea, Poorly Executed

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.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. Nerdish is not intended to read like an academic paper — our goal is to make established knowledge concise, approachable, and entertaining without losing accuracy. Articles are created by our editorial team, often with several people contributing, and are based on sources such as published research, Britannica, museum archives, and other reputable references. We’re constantly working to improve the quality, so thank you for pointing out where we can do better.

Great App!

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.

Uneducated education

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.

Overall a great aid for learning!

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

Thank you! We’re really happy the app gives you a better way to learn something interesting. We actually started building the app years ago, before AI became such a big part of everyday tools. Today, we do use AI along with other technology to help manage and keep our library of articles fresh and relevant across many categories. We’re glad to have you reading with us!

Love it!

Personally I am a nerd and this information packed app is just perfect for passing idle time instead of doom scrolling through hours. It helps me improve my knowledge. Definitely something for me

Thank you! We’re glad the app feels useful and easy to fit into small moments. Happy to hear it helps you keep learning something new.

Suggestion!

I love this app, I am constantly learning new things every day and it has a wide variety of topics to choose from. However, a feature that I believe would better this app is adding comprehension questions after you are finished reading your article. Overall, though, this app has been amazing otherwise and I can’t wait to see how it advances in the future!

Thank you for the lovely note! We’re happy the app has become part of your daily routine. You’re not the first to ask for a better way to check understanding, and we’re already reworking how follow-up questions and quizzes fit into the experience.

Written by AI?

The first article I read is full of mistakes and contradictions…

Not able to delete

I have been trying to delete the app since I got it. I have emailed Nerdish twice, but still unable to cancel it.
As you seem to be replying to the reviews on here.
Please don’t charge me, I really don’t want your app and I am in the free trial period

Hi! You can delete the app the same way you normally remove applications from your device. Just press and hold the app icon for a moment, then select the “Remove App” option (it’s usually the last one in the list). Unfortunately, we don’t have the ability to remove the app from your phone remotely, so this needs to be done using your device’s standard functionality. Hope this helps!

Danke für deine nette Rezension! 🙏 Solches Feedback motiviert uns sehr. Schön, dass du Nerdish genießt!

It’s nice, but too many incorrect “facts”

This app is great for some topics I’ll give it that, but as someone who’s taken many courses on various subjects, some things are simply incorrect. For instance, I was reading one subject they had called “What did our ancestors eat?” And not only did they use the standard image of evolution (which has been proven to not be accurate at all) but they also stated that women mostly gathered and men hunted (while still gathering). While this is a very common misconception, it was actually very 50 50 on who hunted and who gathered. In fact, the reason why we were lead to believe this was because of archeologists back in I believe the 1900’s, who had such sexist ideals they simply imagined that it was the women who gathered and do all of the meal preparations while the men went out and hunted for meat. This has since been proven to be incorrect. Anyways, my point is that this app needs to get its facts straight. There’s still a great deal to learn from it, but you should have some aloud in each subject in order to see what’s true or not.

Thanks for the detailed feedback and for pointing out the specific lesson. We’ll review that topic to make sure it reflects the current state of knowledge in this area. We’re also looking into adding sources, but it’s something that will take time to implement properly.
