Invasive

I didn’t even finish installing the app. It asked to many irrelevant, privacy-invading questions. I just want to learn. It doesn’t need to know “why” by probing my personal information. If you do this, you give it away FOR FREE, then they charge you AGAIN.

So, I rarely write reviews, cause who really cares, right? But, I need to give a solid nod to this app and its team. I’m floored by how great this app is.
As a middle aged, unmedicated ADHD person with boundless curiosity but very little attention span, this app is actually working!!! I’m engaged!! And exploring topics so far beyond my daily life it’s laughable; but it’s working!! I’m on a 15 day streak and am retaining the info (both things are very rare for me when unmedicated). Might seem small to you, but it’s huge for me 😊 Thank you Imprint 💜
They’re book teasers…

This started out real fun. Until I got two lessons in to the course on storytelling and it abruptly ended with a CTA to buy the book. Funny that the premise of the app is to learn in bite sized pieces but, at least in this specific course, you can only get a brief intro in that format and then you either have to buy the book or abandon the topic.
Summary quizzes are gone???

There used to be summary quizzes in Imprint. Not the quiz inside of a lesson but a random selection of lessons that had been completed. I found this really useful way of recapping and remembering what I have learnt. It anchored and encouraged me to come back to Imprint as a challenge. Now is just feels a little too cozy.
Overpriced entry level education

Overpriced entry level education, spent one minute in their program before losing interest because I already knew the material. Waste of time and money.
An app probably made by consultants. Scam.

I hate this app so much. Did a free trial and forgot to cancel. So I figure I should try to get into the app since it charged me $100+ for the year. The lessons are basically ChatGPT in what they think is an aesthetically pleasing layout. Seriously go ask ChatGPT to summarize one of the books on here and it’ll give you a better response. They’re not forming any insights, they’re copying what the books say. The “quizzes” are middle school questions that you only need to remember the exact phrasing of a sentence two slides ago. Fill in the blanks with two synonyms that could both work, but one’s “wrong” because they didn’t actually put any thought into this and just doing the bare minimum. I coming up on a year and I feel as though thyme could be upwards of 1000 book summaries on this app, but they’re hovering at around 120. Given the content going into these summaries, personally I feel as though I could churn out one a day if this was my full time job. Meanwhile they’ve added probably less than 20 in a year. If this app actually gave insights that aren’t available in a google search, and it included wayyyyy more books, it might be a good idea. Until then it’s a cash grab and a language model in app form that’s charging way more than most others which are free and better.

I should not have to provide passwords of my google gmail or social media. This is asked for after the payment info is collected. Then the screen freezes at provide password. Bank informed
Good but too much money

Good but too expensive so I am probably only using free trial

The format of little quizzes at short intervals with scores and awards and streaks is all very effective at keeping someone like myself focused and motivated. I only just got the app and have only tried to philosophy classes so far. Maybe that's just not appropriate material to learn through an app, but it's way too basic and easy and oversimplified. I wish there was more genuinely challenging material because I might actually remember and retain the information when it's presented in this format.
The Worst

Dumbest app ever. Ask us a bunch of invasive questions then offers the most remedial elementary school level information dragged out with a lot of unnecessary verbose verbiage then cuts off your lesson until the next day. I will never make the mistake of using another Google app again.
