Miles takes the notes. You pay attention. Start Class Mode when the lecture begins. Miles puts on his headphones, keeps track of what your professor says, and keeps the distracting apps you choose locked until class ends. Calls always get through. When class is over, Miles hands you your notes: • A clear summary of the lecture • Key notes with when each topic was discussed • Exam mentions and important callouts • Key terms and to-dos LOST FOR A MINUTE? Tap "I'm lost" and Miles catches you up on the last few minutes. Have a question but don't want to raise your hand? Ask Miles during class. He answers using what your professor has said so far, without leaving Class Mode. STUDY MODE Studying on your own? Miles locks the same apps while you study. The mic stays off. • A timer (25, 50 or 90 minutes, or until you stop) or Pomodoro rounds with breaks • Your apps unlock by themselves for each break and when the session ends • Studying for a class? Its notes are one tap away • See your focus time for the week, in class and studying, and a streak that counts both MADE FOR REAL SCHEDULES • Add your classes from a screenshot of your schedule • Get a heads-up before class: "Physics starts in 5 minutes. Ready to focus?" • Choose how strict Miles is, in class and while you study: from no way out to a few emergency unlocks YOUR NOTES ARE YOURS Review your summaries, key notes and transcripts anytime.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Miles at 5.0 against Wick's 4.2. Miles also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). Wick's advantage is ratings volume (74 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
