Ratings and reviews

I had to come back and update my review. This used to be a great solution, however, in recent months it has gotten significantly worse and is trailing noticeably behind the competition. I had high hopes for this one but now have concerns Answers are frequently wrong. Information is very often incorrect. Context is quickly lost, features advertised as working rarely work and often break in the middle of working.

I absolutely love it! I often research a given topic from several resources and end up back at Perplexity for my answer. I have been surprised by the number of times Perplexity has provided me with more detailed and accurate answers than, let's say, ChatGPT. As for the actual design of the app; it could use some tweaking. I use it to obtain the correct answer. I am confident that is what I get through the app.

I pay for Perplexity. Yet the majority of the time when I click on the app and type something, there is no response or it says "retry". Likewise, the Discovery tab is often just a scrolling black screen. I presume they're overloaded, because when it works it's great. EDIT: I've switched to using the progressive web app (i.e. Chrome three dot menu, then "Add to Home Screen"). It works much better than this app.
