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.

Awesome for all platforms and now on Mac!

I have been using Perplexity for quite some time on my iPhone and web-based. This is an awesome app and it has replaced my normal search functionality apps. I use it daily and love that this is now available as a Mac app and have it open all the time. I haven’t run across any bugs yet, but I am confident in the team’s ability to resolve them promptly as they arise. I still use Gemini Pro and ChatGPT for more creative, philosophical, and esoteric queries, but this is definitely my go to.
