I bought Bearly because I read about it from a newsletter I like. After paying for a year and trying to use it for a few months, I can say it's really worthless. The UX/UI is terrible. I wanted to like it, but it doesn't have any sort of killer app. It tries to do a lot of things, but does none of them well. I hope they can redesign and find some value. They just need to understand that no one wants an app that does 30 things badly. They just need an app that does 1 thing well.
This software is terribly invasive to the point where I would personally consider it MALWARE.
- It starts any time you turn on your computer.
- It has no button to EXIT the app, anywhere. It overrides the window rendering so that there's no "X" button,
- It has no setting to disable the "run on startup".
Why would a developer do this? Do they think we'll use the app more? Terribly invasive, do not recommend.
okay- it's pretty sweet and in a nice enough UI wrapper. I can't help but compare it to TypingMind which has a one time purpose. I'm trying to understand what it does better / differently than GPTPlus, etc.-- but it's a good product and definitely worth exploring.
I really enjoy using bearly. It's fun, fast and easy to use. Covers many different cases, offers a lot for free and shows a clear upgrade path. Great product!
I'm relatively new to using AI for my productivity use cases, but was using Bearly AI free for about a month. It's a great tool and I upgraded to Pro for the higher word count benefits and additional use cases. Glad to see in a tweet update they will be rolling out GPT4 for Bearly soon as well. Let's go! :)
I could not get it to run Windows 11. I installed the program and tried to launch the application, but I got an error message that the application was already running. It also wanted access to a port through my Windows Defender firewall. I tried to uninstall it - and the port access remained in my firewall. I need to manually delete the port access myself.
