Tutor Me Section needs improvement .. It keeps glitching on crucial assignments
I decided to get this app because of the Tutor Me section. When it comes to study apps, I feel like StudyFetch’s biggest advantage is the Tutor Me feature plus its AI integration. Nevertheless, Sparky is having some trouble when it comes to the Tutor Me section, as it keeps repeating previous lessons from different notes instead of responding to what I am currently asking.
Sometimes, rather than replying to me, Sparky starts dictating its coding format and then comes back to tell me that it was having a glitch. Other times, I have to cancel my study session because it’s not responding at all.
I hope the app developers can spend more time fixing the Tutor Me section because, so far, that’s the app’s strongest feature and something you wouldn’t see in many other study apps.

Horrible experience after this update
I’ve had studyfetch for about a year now, and before this update I thought it was really helpful. I pay for a premium subscription so I feel like for everything I pay all the features should at least work? But ever since this update the app has been lagging so much, it’s impossible to find materials you uploaded, and the live lecture feature is a joke. It used to work so well before and now the audio to text is EXTREMELY delayed, so if you click stop recording it will stop transcribing like the last 40 minutes of your lecture. This new update is actually atrocious I’m o disappointed

Good customer service, developing app
Customer service was very responsive and helpful, 5/5 on that. The actual app experience was lacking… It would consistently pull outside resources in to “supplement” your material you gave it, even though I directed it not to. Evidently, the LLM forgets everything you tell it each chat (and probably during the session, in my experience) so you can’t actually train it to customize to your learning needs. Also, it randomly started giving me quiz questions in another language…?

Very wonderful
AI Clunky and No Active Recall
AI based tools are not very visual or accurate. The diagrams and figures often overwritten or clunky. Additionally, the app prioritizes quizzes, test and AI generated flash cards which do not actually “teach material”. Additionally, the app publicizes the ability to talk to Sparke to work through concepts or if building Lectures; however, I do see that as an option within my Study Plan and I pay for the premium subscription. As a medical student, I have 2 weeks between exams, I tried this out for about 3/4 days and it has not helped in preparing or saving me time on learning or preparing materials.

Response from developer
Hello, are you on the latest version of the application? Look for the icon of the dog Sparky in the purple circle for chatting. He is literally everywhere on the mobile application and is on every mode on the web version as well. As far as modes of study, the tool doesn't necessarily favor one mode over another. It suggests modes based on what has succeeded for other users among other things, but you can always choose any mode you like to study, or turn an existing material or mode into another with a click of a button. Reach out to us at support@studyfetch.com and we can get you best practices from other med students who have used the software to great success. Thanks!
