It was back in November that I first discovered and subsequently wrote about theHeadway app.
Continuing my thirst for knowledge, Ive now installed theUptime app.
Uptime summarizes not only books but also courses, documentaries, and podcasts.
Im all for learning things quickly, but not at the cost of retaining knowledge.
Read on to find out if it served up a positive experience or left me wanting more.
One of the best things about Uptimes hacks is that they contain mixed media.
Uptime claims this delivers unique insight you cant get anywhere else.
I also know that others might do a better job of summarizing content than the creators themselves.
Despite that, the level of quality is high.
I particularly like how each hack centers around three insights.
This provides the necessary structure to ground learning and help with memory recall.
Along with excellently curated insights, each hack also includes a Take action section.
I found this essential for taking the knowledge I was absorbing and putting it into practice within my life.
This was an incredibly straightforward and easy-to-achieve action that has helped me cement the practice in reality.
One of my favorite features within the app is the spark cards.
This tool lets you save specific insights from a hack and store them on a board.
By curating these boards, I was able to refer back to them later.
When I read a physical book, I always underline key sections and quotes that I want to remember.
Spark cards are the digital equivalent of this and I found them very helpful indeed.
Uptime is available for free, although youll only get access to one daily hack.
Its worse than that, though, because Uptime chooses the hack for you.
Not being able to decide my study option made the whole experience pretty pointless, in my opinion.
Opting for premium is, therefore, verging on essential.
Overall, users can pick from over 8,000 titles, with the library being added to all the time.
The privilege costs $29.99/29.99 per year or $3.99/3.99 if youd prefer to pay monthly.
you could also take advantage of a one-week free trial before deciding.
you could download the Uptime app oniOSorAndroid.
