Sider: AI Chat & DeepSeek-R1 17+

This is how it should be.

Easy review. If I was designing a site that would make using multiple AI products from different companies in a simple format, easy to read screens, very little learning needed required to get started and at the same cost/mo as some of these products individually, this is how it would function. If you’re learning to use GPTs in particular, you really need to give this a shot.

Don’t misunderstand, I DO love this app

I gave it a 4 because theres more to be done. However, Im a teacher and I loooove this app! But what kinda throws me for a loop is that sometimes it reminds me its just an ai assistant and cant do this or that. But if I ask the question again the next day, it works. And sometimes it gives false information. It solved a math problem wrong and when i replied to the chat and said thats incorrect, it apologized to me and gave me the correct answer. Another situation was when i asked it to create a rubric for me, sometimes it creates the rubric and will draw the boxes and everything, and sometimes it doesnt. But if i keep asking it to create the rubric, over and over, eventually it will make all the boxes. After three tries it typically does. But this uses up my queries. Im a paid member so i have a lot but still. So, the ai bot will mess u up and sometimes you may need to go fact check the stuff or repeat stuff all in all…that does kinda defeat the purpose of using it. But I believe in the functionality still. I have hope that these are glitches that will be worked out because it is indeed technology and not 100 percent. There’s probably a lot of kinks that have to constantly be addressed, so its a work in progress. It has helped me as a teacher tremendously! I have more good experiences than bad ones. I would love to be able to use it as a side bar on my phone and tablet the way I can on my PC. That would be awesomeness!

Credits can’t be used on a browser

First, the In-App purchases listed are confusing and inaccurate. I wanted a basic 1 month plan for 9.99 that I could use on my desktop browser but after downloading the app the only option was the pocket plan. I figured the slightly higher price was b/c I would be able to access
credits from the phone, but no. The pocket credits are not accessible from the browser. Also if you try to change plans from the browser, you can’t. The only option is to upgrade to the unlimited plan for $299. I contacted the developer the same day to ask for a refund or to have my account switched to a basic plan, but after waiting for a response, the answer was what i just said—upgrade to the unlimited plan. So I had to request a refund via Apple. The prices listed in the In-App purchases on the App Store should be accurate and to the extent there are limits on the transferability of credits, that should be clearly stated—not buried in the fine print. Sider has some good products that I want to use, but this was not one of them and dealing with customer service was service was of no help, at all.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re truly sorry for the confusion and frustration you’ve encountered. We understand how important it is for pricing and plan details to be clear and accurate, and we sincerely apologize for any misleading information regarding the In-App purchases.

To clarify, the Pocket Plan is designed specifically for mobile use due to cost considerations, which is why its credits are not transferable to the desktop browser. If you require access across both mobile and desktop platforms, we recommend exploring our plans that support full cross-platform usage. Your feedback about the pricing and the lack of clarity in the App Store listing is incredibly valuable, and we’ll work on making this information more transparent to avoid similar issues in the future.

We’re also sorry to hear that your experience with customer service didn’t meet your expectations. That’s not the level of support we aim to provide, and we’ll review this internally to ensure better assistance moving forward.

If you’re still experiencing problems, please contact us via email at care+ios@sider.ai. We’d love the opportunity to make things right.
