  1. 5/5Good support

    Edit 2/22: The developer has been very responsive in trying to resolve the issues. I've also discovered that some of the issues I experienced were related to an ongoing ChatGPT issue with referencing uploaded documents, as I've seen similar errors when interfacing ChatGPT directly. Original: I was very drawn in by the description of this app, but I've found that in use it doesn't seem to do what it has promised. It does not pull from any of the documents I've added, and continuously gives me responses telling me that it, in fact, cannot reference uploaded documents. Considering that this seems to be the point of the app, this is super disappointing. Tags are super buggy, and I can only add them using my iPhone, not the Mac or the Vision Pro apps. Not that they seem to do anything. Chats are not persistent if you hit reload, so you just lose everything that's been generated.

  2. 5/5Amazing

    I started using this app for grad school and it has seriously changed how I study. I have ADHD and usually get overwhelmed trying to keep track of everything I read, especially for technical subjects. Chunk helps me slow down and actually think through what I am reading. It lets me focus on the important stuff without getting distracted or lost. It feels like it was made by someone who actually gets how hard reading can be when your brain is bouncing all over the place. I use it pretty much every day now. It is simple, clean, and really useful. If you do a lot of reading or research and struggle to stay organized or focused, this is worth trying.

  3. 2/5Not finding information within your own documents

    I’m not sure what to truly think about this app. It’s a great concept, allowing you to store your notes and documents within the app. The idea is that you will be able to find specific information by chatting with the built-in AI. In concept, the app is designed to give you information specific to your notes per your request or query while also supplementing it with any relevant information based on its online search. So in concept, you would be able to cheery your notes well being supported by additional online information. But this is where it fails. Anytime I’ve asked for specific information which is very clearly found within the documents I uploaded to the app, it returns a response, stating nothing is found within my notes or documents that matches my query.

  4. 5/5So helpful!

    I’ve been using the app to organize my class notes and it’s been so helpful! I use the chat feature to give it some basic instructions on what I want and it’s able to take my mess of notes and create outlines that are helping me understand the concepts better. It’s really like having your own assistant! I’m sure I haven’t even realized all the other ways I can use it.

  5. 2/5Ehh it’s tough to import information in

    I should have never subscribed but alas here we are. The good: - clean UI - nice MacOS counterpart - built in LLMs do work The bad: - it is very hard to get information into this app on iOS. With respect to each productivity app I’ve used, I always import 10 or so random stock related files (in different formats) to see how the app handles the uploads. Well, unfortunately, the only information i was successfully able to import was an Apple note and a URL. Had no luck with PDFs, .jpegs, sharing from X, sharing from email, sharing from files or from photos. …..and that’s when i gave up interest because if you can’t easily import and export information into an PKM or second brain app, then it serves no purpose. See HyNote….it is hands down the best all encompassing productivity tool on the market - across any device or platform - but it’s harddddd to get information into it for processing (and out of it for incorporation into a larger note system). Recall is probably the second best tool but it just doesn’t have a great iOS UI and doesn’t have a macOS app.
