Ratings and reviews

This is very smooth, very intuitive, and very thorough. I use this for basic personal research and to answer complex questions about obscure topics. For example, "Please recommend footwear: I need durability to feed livestock and clean out barn stalls, I need to be insulated against at least 300 volts, I need easy cleaning and a professional appearance so I can quickly spray them with a hose before wearing them to church, and they need to be lightweight." It doesn't matter how weird or specific.

This app, and the people behind it, are excellent. But I'm deleting it, for 2 reasons: the only Pro feature I need is no ads, but that's not an option; its unusual, annoying login process: instead of e-mail/password, it's e-mail/one-time code e-mailed to you. Since I can't always access my e-mail, I can't always use the app. I've asked for a one-time 'ad-free' fee, and plan to ask for alternate methods of receiving your code, e.g., text or phone call. I'll reinstall if these changes are made.

Suddenly major changes to Pro version with no warning or annoucement. They dropped their Pro price from $20 to $17, but then limited "Deep Research" down to 20 a month from 200! Limit the number of uploaded files pdfs from 10 to 5, and uploads and file retention from 30 to 7 days before autodeletion. Also conversation retention is limited to 7 days too! If you want those features back its $167/month!
