The summaries are decent, although most appear to be written by a grade-schooler (poor or no editing, typos, then/than they’re/their misuse, missing punctuation…). The app is hard to navigate. You get a notification about a great summary, then can’t find it a day later (e.g. “Why meditation works” ). And GOD! Enough with the stupid […]

Interesting app with lots of potential. Feature request: Please allow users to cap daily notifications at 1, 2, etc. I’m getting way too many notifications, and it’s so aggravating that I disabled all notifications. I typically get three notifications per day, all of the same type – ideas for self-improvement. It’s not like I’m getting […]

This app is amazing. It’s wonderful for self-developmental learning. There are occasional grammatical errors, but they are not distracting. It keeps me from endlessly scrolling through social media, which is reason enough to download! It’s fantastic, but the subscription plan is unappealing. I have so many saved ideas, especially as one of the early users, […]

I used to have this before it became such a heavy pay to learn model. Even then, most of the topics were very dry with a vague glimpse at an idea with little substance. I decided to try it again and am repeatedly smacked in the face with subscription ads. I am becoming increasingly frustrated […]

I enjoy the variety of articles offered; all based in knowledge and learning but they aren’t heavy, they are light and can go as deep as you want to take it… for example- if you want more, you can click on the original article and go to the piece and read the source. Or you […]

Maybe I’m blind but is there even a free option anymore? Or do the developers intentionally make it so difficult to find that after 5+ consecutive minutes of searching one screen I still can’t find it? Because I thought this app at least had a free option, only to have 2 different subscription options boxes […]

This app used to be free, any content I’m interested in saving to read again later I now have to pay for? That’s kind of ridiculous and most of the content I’m interested in I’d have to pay for as well. Not only is this price gouging, from all accounts in my experience, there’s no […]

Uninstalled after just one day. Limitations on content? No thanks, I’ll just stick to finding interesting information myself. Immediate, intrusive, and annoying ads basically begging you to subscribe (in the form of “here’s a discount!”). Again, no thanks – I’m not stupid, I’m just bored and was hoping this could fill the time. If your […]

I had this on my phone for months and just got around to checking it out. Before I can even see inside the app, it’s ready to sign me on for a subscription. I don’t use free trials because they can be shady. There are times when you have to email customer service to cancel […]

It’s a decent app, but the free features are neutered and it constantly nags you to upgrade to a paid subscription, which is way overpriced. They run the same gimmick as Udemy courses, regularly offering deep discounts on their overpriced subscription with a “limited time offer” which they will repeatedly offer to you. Uninstalled it […]

The content and UI of the app are really cool and veeery smooth! Lots of brain-tingling ideas floating around in there and I’m very excited to read them! I got a year subscription at a black Friday discount price, not sure if I would have paid the regular monthly or full year prices, but I’m […]

Doesn’t keep track of what you’ve read. There seems to be no history. I was reading something one time, came back to the app and couldn’t even find what I was reading again. I started a journey and when I came back to the app, it said I’d completed much more than I actually had. […]

A great idea, but the range of content was a bit narrower than I’d like. Also wasn’t a fan of the constant ads, as they defeat the purpose of short, focused reading sessions. The monetization in general I found intrusive and off-putting, which was the reason I ended up uninstalling the app. As a rule […]

I like this app as a concept, though I have a few immediate issues with it. The push for premium is constant and overwhelming. Advertisements for premium are unavoidable and consistent. The achievements you “earn” remove you from what you’re reading and force you to either start from the beginning of the book/article or simply […]

tl;dr: you pay money for someone’s word vomit recollection instead of reading the actual book I like the idea of the app, but it seems like too much of a cash grab. The push to go pro and pay a subscription is insane, they limit all aspects of the app without it. The app is […]

I would appreciate a free version trial, one that doesn’t require a card #. I think it was intentionally because even though you have a reminder 2 days prior to the end of the trial(which is a very nice offering) period, a lot can be forgotten in 2 days, and I’m sure many fail to […]

Deepstash constantly asking you to sign up for a subscription while using a free account is extremely annoying and makes me not want to use the app at all. Here is some advice, you should advertise your subscription service ONCE. Not every time I log on. I haven’t even figured out if the app is […]

Deepstash is a good concept. The app is a good distraction from “doom scrolling”, however, you get more benefit and a better understanding putting more time and effort reading the books it recommends, than reading flip cards written by random people. The streak notification, though it means good intentions, it annoyingly pops up in the […]

Predatory. Do not use this app without canceling it right away! you’ll still be able to use it to continue trying it out, but set it up so you won’t be charged again. I had big hope for the app to help me learn and get off other apps, but it stalled and was hard […]

I just subscribed to 3 months of this seemingly cool app, the issue is now its impossible for me to log in to my account. at no point during the set up was i prompted to create a password so i cant directly log in, i use the link they send to my email and […]
