soooo imagine sitting in your room texting your friend (who you have ap world history with) and she says "are you ready for our test tomorrow in world?" suddenly, INSTANT. PANIC. MODE. your known to be a procrastinator and you kept pushing off doing the work that now, you have 1 night to learn a whole unit worth of content. well, this happened to me and i hopped onto tik tok and search "ap study apps" and Gizmo came up on my feed. I downloaded the app and found a deck for ap world. this app made it super easy for me to learn a whole units worth of content and to actually understand it too instead of just memorizing it. i strongly recommend getting this if you are a procrastinator like me😉

I can't lie, when I use Gizmo to study it's extremely helpful. I'm able to easily recall what I've learned from this app on my test. But ever since I've used the app I've noticed certain lags and the app simply crashing. Recently, I've been working on making a deck for my permit test coming up and it's been extremely glitchy. At first it was just the app sometimes resetting when I spent a bit too long on a different app (looking at what answer to right for the card). Now it will go to a never-ending loading screen, go back to the homepage, crash, or just not let me add the question after going to the homepage causing me to restart the app. Also, the app is based on ai (as stated in the title) I'm not a fan of ai but I can't deny it was helpful this previous school year. Especially when I didn't feel like typing the cards myself. But it's the only time I use ai. I might delete the app because of the ai usage but the app itself is extremely helpful and the design is nice.

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.
