Customer service is AWESOME

I had issues with my ipad not recognizing that I had upgraded to Pro. I emailed and it was fixed so quickly! This is how all customer should work.

I wish you existed 50 years ago.

I love to read. I mean, I really really love to read. Anything with print on it I will gravitate to at a moment’s notice. Problem: there is so much out there and there’s not enough time in the day to read it all. How to choose?TLDR summarizer it to the rescue. I copy and paste the article I might want to read, and TLDR gives me a summary (from 2 to 5 paragraphs depending on taste), highlights the main points, and does a question and answer section to test your knowledge. You can then export the results to another app. Added bonus: I have used it when creating text messages (must be at least 300 characters for this to work). It summarizes,clarifies and improves my messages, making me appear more articulate than I am. I am currently retired, but oh how I wish this app were available when I was still working or better yet when I was going to school all those years ago (think slide rule, rotary phones and IBM selectric typewriter). Keep up the good work.

Bad execution

Good concept, to bad the developers couldn’t execute. For example, highliting text in the Apple News app and sending it to TLDR does nothing. Copying the text and pasting in TLDR summarizes, but in a language other than English, looks like Spanish. And yes, I did confirm my language selection was set to English. Toggled it as well.

False Advertising 0/5 stars

I guess the devs don’t know the meaning of the TL in TLDR. Because apparently a 170k word text is too much for an AI model to handle. What’s even the point if it has a word limit. “We can do the TLDR of a long text, but don’t do it TOO long!!
