These articles are so interesting and well written. I am a READER…I love to read and I love to learn. And still, these bite size articles give me something that has been unattainable to me since I was in primary school. They almost give that passage you have to scan on the yearly standardized tests to answer multiple choice questions, but without the pressure, in style and length. AND the info it’s giving is full manuscript with all the fat cut out (or only the fat, I love the juicy fat) for a quick read. Want to wow your trivia team? Want to know a little about everything? Looking for a spark to love life again and feel less doomed here on Earth?!?!? (No, really!) It’s reigniting my love for learning at the base level, and giving me comfort about the nature of humanity on a deeper level (like, why did I just cry reading an article about the printing press?!?!?). This Earth is amazing, humans are actually so neat, history is so vast and interesting, thanks for the reminder Nerdish.

This app really helped me

Mess it up with you guys
Now I could spend this entire review just telling you how I think it’s so cool but I’m gonna tell you my favorite saying that really works with this app if you’re tired of the same old thing then stop doing the same old thing. This app really showed me new things and it didn’t keep me held back on the same topic because I didn’t get it absolutely perfect. It makes sure that you remember things the definition of insanity is to repeatedly do the same thing and expect a different outcome so stop doing the same thing and try something new.

Developer Response

It’s nice, but too many incorrect “facts”
Feb 28

Sunpool the rain/seawing
This app is great for some topics I’ll give it that, but as someone who’s taken many courses on various subjects, some things are simply incorrect. For instance, I was reading one subject they had called “What did our ancestors eat?” And not only did they use the standard image of evolution (which has been proven to not be accurate at all) but they also stated that women mostly gathered and men hunted (while still gathering). While this is a very common misconception, it was actually very 50 50 on who hunted and who gathered. In fact, the reason why we were lead to believe this was because of archeologists back in I believe the 1900’s, who had such sexist ideals they simply imagined that it was the women who gathered and do all of the meal preparations while the men went out and hunted for meat. This has since been proven to be incorrect. Anyways, my point is that this app needs to get its facts straight. There’s still a great deal to learn from it, but you should have some aloud in each subject in order to see what’s true or not.

Thanks for the detailed feedback and for pointing out the specific lesson. We’ll review that topic to make sure it reflects the current state of knowledge in this area. We’re also looking into adding sources, but it’s something that will take time to implement properly.

Great idea, articles could use better editing

This is a great idea - spending 10 minutes or so learning some interesting new things is a better way to start the morning than scrolling through social media! The editing is lacking for a lot of articles though, and I don’t know how many writers you have, but some of them are not good - amateurish writing, poor grammar, etc. I realize it has to be a lot of work putting out new content daily, but I’d just as soon work my way through the existing articles and wait for better written material. But overall, the material is very interesting, and I learn a little something new every day! Suggestion: add a “needs proofreading“ button.
