2024-12-08	Andrea	It's been about 10 days that this app doesn't work for me at all. I think since the last system update of my phone. I have a Samsung Flip z 3. Please fix EDIT: Reinstalling works, however, I need to uninstall and reinstall this app every week or so. It constantly stops working and that seems to be the only solution. It is very inconvenient, it'd be great if it was fixed. EDIT 2: It's a year later and I still constantly need to reinstall this app, pretty annoying....
2024-07-19	Bryce Whalen	I've tried a few of these aggregators to keep up on topics of interest with good information delivered to me. Refind is by far the best one so far. The topics from which to choose are interesting and varied. The sources have seemed good and the information presented well. I'll keep digging in and see if I feel the same in the future. If so, I'll have no reason to edit this original review!
2023-02-19	Thisbe Kwon	I've only been using this app for a few days but it's really exceeded my expectations so far, even without any upgrades/in-app purchases. I appreciate the system of categories, tags, and focus areas (and things you want to avoid), and ability to save articles for later, and am really impressed by the visual data that's already being created based on my interactions with the articles they've found for me. Definitely worth a download to see if you like it, imo.
2022-10-26	Charity Simcox	Refind is an app that pulls together short articles for you to read in the areas of your interests. When you sign up for this free service you choose the different themes that you like, for example: History, science, astronomy, psychology, politics, economics, and many, many more. Then after you choose from the manyà topics that they have, you get to choose how many articles you want to read in one day (under 7) is the free version. Most articles only take 3 to 10 minutes to read.
2022-09-12	Andrew Mullen	I like Refind very much and it has taught me amazing things that I had never heard of, things I wasn't interested in, or so I thought! this app looks at the internet and pics 7 stories related to categories you pick. sounds kind of boring, however they are so good at finding things of interest, that refund even though it only has seven stories picked out for you, you can learn an amazingly diverse amount of things here. 😁
2022-08-25	Brisha Roxberry	Refind has been a useful and informative app. It adheres to your interests and supplies you with articles and material to excite your mind and wish to learn more about. There are dozens of topics to choose from and they do a great job at delivering the right daily reads for you. This app allows me to explore a world of curiosity, creativity and innovation! Further, the app is free of bugs or errors. Thanks Refind for allowing me to continue to grow.
2022-07-01	Nicole P	I'm loving Refind so far! It's so hard to find articles worth my time with all of the other noise on the Internet. I get distracted, and oftentimes will catch myself looking at articles or watching videos that i wouldn't have otherwise sought out. This tool is fixing that problem! Definitely enjoying it so far (and being able to have as little as 5 recommendations prevents me from feeling overwhelmed and avoiding opening the app). Can't wait to see what else is recommended for me!
2022-04-07	Jen G.	While I'm not a pro user and therefore don't have certain features unlocked, I can say without a doubt that this app has kept me interested in a variety of subjects such as writing, mind matters, and more. The app, thanks to its creator(s), has a truly personal feel rather than taking the more corporate "satisfy every consumer with a generic palette" route. And while the customizable notifications/updates setting is nothing new, something about this app feels less intrusive and overbearing.
2022-03-06	Aaron Casey	I honestly love this app. So much customizability and how well it learns your preferences. You can access all of the topics and keywords they've identified that you're interested in (down to the decimal value) and then adjust that value (e.g. I want some climate change-related articles, but don't fill my feed with them!). You can also message the founder very easily, and he's very responsive to feedback. Love it, this app's going places.
2022-02-22	B J	Fantastic app! Great for finding things really worth reading. With premium, you get access to curated series for really diving into a topic, I recently read one all about Web3, with a new article sent to my email every morning. You can follow people you are following from Twitter, and that helps to surface articles and topics that interest you as well. I had used this a few years ago and deleted it, but coming back now, the recommendations are more sophisticated with higher signal to noise now.
