Hello!! I have this app a five star rating because not only has it helped me to read things I found interest in, it had helped a bit on my problem for scrolling on social media. Another great thing is that when I’m finished I can talk about or brag about the things I’ve learned to my family or friends 🥳

Another Cool Premise Ruined By AI…

I love fun facts and learning new trivia, so I was initially very excited about this app. Although, I did find it was sometimes difficult to come across topics that I didn’t already know about. Which I assume would be an issue for anyone that’s a trivia buff, as well. I also found that the AI generator used had a difficult time articulating certain topics. I have an interest in philosophy and could not find a single prompt that explained in detail any school of thought, it would read more as “this thing exists,” which is pretty obvious. But I wanted to know WHY it exists, how it influences things, an explanation on WHAT it is, even.The absolute worst AI offenses were in the crime category, though. Several times the prompt title would reference a crime or case and the year it occurred. Then upon starting the lesson, you’d read (apparently no more than 350 words) about how no results could be found for that prompt, thus it didn’t exist—completely wasting one of your three lessons allowed each day if you’re freemium.The worst lesson I’ve read, I just experienced; It was an AI generated prompt that detailed returns on crimes against a family of four in the 90’s. There were apparently about 12 results found, and then you read through how it “reasoned” which crime it should expand upon, how it excluded certain crimes (“not in the 90’s”, or “victims not a family of four”,) and that it should all be summarized within 350 words.I’ll be deleting the app. I don’t want to read AI slop scraped from the internet that clearly isn’t verified or reviewed by a human being for accuracy. And I find it especially atrocious that the developer thinks you should pay for an app when they use AI to churn out “lessons” that may or may not be factual.

Bad quizzes + weak lessons

Many quiz questions are wrong. For example, one quiz question asks which topic wasn’t mentioned in the article, and all choices were mentioned so the question had no correct answer. The app says the right answer is radio telescopes, but that topic is clearly mentioned in the article. This is just one example, but I noticed that over 70% of the quiz questions have some mistake in them. And the articles all seem to be AI generated. I don’t know for sure but it seems obvious from the way the articles are written. But with better prompts I can generate better articles myself. It would be nicer if the articles had some human touch to them. I gave it more than 1 star because the app seems to be very well designed with a very good UI. But the content itself is weak (I picked the 5 minute lessons which have the longest articles)

Hi JBadzerThanks a lot for your detailed feedback!We do use AI to draft content, but every article is reviewed by us. Still, we agree they can feel more human, and we’re already working on that.Thanks for the kind words about the UI, content quality is our top priority, and your feedback helps us improve fast!

Read a 1-star review that questioned why not just scroll Wikipedia? Because I agonize over what to read or what to choose. And waste more time going down weird rabbit holes. And it’s overwhelming to wade through. I like this app because very interesting, cool content is immediately ready at my fingertips. I like the simple, cute design - pleasing to the eye. This app allows me to “zone out” in a more meaningful, less anxiety ridden way. Don’t feel like I am going down a mindless rabbit hole that feels gross to come out of. Been looking for a simple way to chill out and still do something cool. The content is AMAZING. Would absolutely love to work for you! Would be so fun to come up with bit sized, interesting content. Much rather spend my time learning than playing candy crush. Thank you for this app.
