Nibble: Your Bite of Knowledge 12+

Downloaded and subscribed to try to have a bit more of a productive time when idly scrolling in my phone/killing time.

One thing that bothered me is that the lessons are kinda broken down into different pages, each page with a few sections that advance via “continue” buttons or occasionally a quiz question. This makes sense if you’re sitting down and plowing straight through one.

Where my gripe comes up is that if you put your phone down for a second and let the app go idle, it will give you a kinda “Welcome back” screen for the lesson you’re on. However when you click “continue”, it will automatically advance you to the next page in the lesson, even if you haven’t scrolled down and read all the sections of the previous page. You can go back to scroll through them but if you were in the middle section of a page or at the last know you have to click through the continue/questions to get back to where you left off each and every time. I set my phone down towards the end of the last section of the last page, and when j clicked continue on the idle screen it took me to the “lesson over” page.

Otherwise app seems fine so far but in the setting of a football game where there’s commercial breaks and other distractions frequently, it becomes a more annoying feature that it kinda automatically advances you through the lesson.

I recently had the opportunity to explore the Nibble application, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. After dedicating a considerable amount of time completing a setup test, I was met with a surprise subscription requirement. This ranged from $10 to an astonishing $60. What's more frustrating is the inability to bypass this subscription prompt. There's no option to simply close it and proceed to use the app freely. This approach feels misleading. If an app requires payment or subscription, it's only fair for users to be informed beforehand, not after they've invested time and effort. This kind of business practice, where developers entice users into a subscription model with the hope they forget to unsubscribe, feels predatory. While I understand the need for monetization, transparency is key. Luring users under the pretense of a free experience only to hit them with unexpected costs is not a practice I can endorse. Many users, including myself, appreciate straightforwardness. If there's a cost associated, state it upfront. Don't make users jump through hoops only to hit them with hidden fees. It's about respecting the user's time and choices. I'm giving this app a single star, but if the option were available, I'd rate it negative five stars. Such practices should not be normalized in a society that values transparency and respect. Developers should prioritize providing value to users, not just extracting value from them.

I downloaded this app from the advertisements on social media—advertisements featuring lessons on biology, which is a primary interest of mine. Not only are there no lessons on biology, there are none on any field of science. I understand that the application is still in its early stages, and that the developers will likely add more subjects of education as the interest in the app increases, but the advertising was misleading, and therefore immensely disappointing.

Another issue that I had besides the very limited course availability was the subscription model. Generally, these kinds of apps have limited free content before you are prompted to subscribe to a yearly fee for additional access. This app has none of that; you are not even able to try out the app without signing up for a subscription, which was very disappointing. I believe that this app would have more success if it was not promoted as free to use, when that is so evidently not the case.

Overall, I believe it is a very interesting and useful concept that has been poorly executed. Instead of immediately prompting the user to subscribe, the developers should offer a free variety of lessons to hook the user on the app. I would love to try this in the future if it is made more accessible and the variety of subjects is increased! :)
