Gizmo: AI Flashcards 4+

I absolutely love Gizmo! I’m an AP student and it seriously helps me with the conceptual side of AP Chem. The AI tutor guides you step by step through any concept just like with Feynmann technique. I specifically love how Gizmo has active recall studying, which is proven to help you retain information way better than notes or re-reading powerpoints. It is also extremely easy to upload any class notes, ppts, or documente and have Gizmo create a deck for you. Absolute must for any AP Chem student!

I got this app as I am a stem major in college and figured it would help especially during finals. I eventually decided to pay for the full app because you only get so many imports and like I said I am a stem major so I need to import graphs and experiments. The AI works amazingly and I haven’t had any issues with anything being saved. Ex) I was writing down notes from my phone to computer onto the app and my computer completely shut off, but when it came back on the notes I wrote (and didn’t save) we’re still there ready to be submitted. The only thing that the devs probably didn’t think about is you earn coins through xp when completing lessons. When you are using the app free, you can use these coins to get more hints or hearts. When you pay for the full app you get infinite hearts and hints so coins just build up. So it would be cool if you added fun customization that we can add to our profile.

Okay, so the app is fine, but it could use some help. I’ve been using the app to study and it’s just recently stoped functioning. What I mean by that is that when I import the cards by taking a photo of them, it just won’t load, and not this isn’t an internet problem. A thing I also dislike is that you only get ten chances (ten hearts) and if you lose all of them you simply just can’t continue unless you have a subscription. The point of learning is to get something wrong no matter if you get everything wrong. You focus of the things you fail on and improve. That is learning, not stressing if you lose all then hearts. However I do understand that the creators need income and stuff like that, but I do think they could resolve this problem and make better out of it. The app is okay overall 3/5.
