Ratings and Reviews
I’ve been using Perplexity for a couple of years. It’s a true time saver and excellent source finder
I work on grant applications, proposals, and community outreach projects daily. Perplexity helps me identify sources of information to help me support objectives and ensure deliverables can be met. Excellent support and quick responses on their discord forum. I had been considering the pro version of Chat GPT months ago, but decided to move to Perplexity 100% of my time to make sure my final submissions could be traced back to precise sources. Chat GPT and other platforms are questionable at times and require additional research to double check information, data, numbers, etc. With this platform, those sources are incorporated into results, saving me 5 to 30 minutes of additional research time here and there. I can dive deeper when needed without having to figure out terminology or key words/key phrases as Perplexity provides this information to me when requested. It’s a major time saver and provides precise annotation. Response time in pro is FAST and well worth the cost. Also a plus to be able to use different AI models so I can compare information as it is processed. No complaints.
Great AI Search App, Needs Text Size Customization
The Perplexity app for macOS is a fantastic AI-powered search tool that delivers quick, accurate answers. The native desktop experience feels smooth and integrates well with the Mac ecosystem. I particularly appreciate how it keeps my search history synced across devices.
However, one important feature is missing: the ability to adjust text size. The current fixed font size isn't ideal for all users, especially those who prefer larger text for better readability or those working on larger displays. Adding text size customization options would greatly improve accessibility and user experience.
Despite this limitation, the app remains a valuable research and learning tool. Would love to see font size controls added in a future update.
Feels Beta. Not Ready for Prime Time…
I’m an avid user of Perplexity. I’ve well over a thousand uses, custom prompts set up, and have been using it daily for over a year. Emphaticaly so. I’ve been looking forward to this Desktop version, and while testing on an m2 MacBook Air with 16gb of ram in great health (As reported by Clean My Mac) this app crashes when trying to use some of the keyboard shortcuts. This was the main hope for the app, that it would have the ability to call up Perplexity with a keystroke, and begin speaking my request. But instead it fails repeatedly. It may be worth noting that the setup process was also flawed, in that trying to sign in via Google, it was struggling. Lastly, and most concerningly, the pro voice feature which give you 5 tries to test it (Not really enough, and they need to do better there..) cut me off after one word which, ok, try again right? Well, each time it cut me off, and each time it counted as one of the “free” tries. So like I said. This feels way more like a Beta product and does not in any way shape or form feel like it is ready for Prime Time. Im glad I’m not paying for this. And if you are, just know what you’re getting into.
