Knowable - Smart Audio 12+

I downloaded knowable because they’re funded by the best (a16z) and their courses seemed to focus on topics I could get behind. Real topics I struggle with, that can be tackled within a reasonable timeframe... (who wants to think about their paralyzing fear of public speaking for more than a few hours, ami rite?!?). For the nominal cost, the quality of the content of the courses, the authenticity of the teachers, and the fact that I can listen on the go have me truly hooked. Not to mention I can start, stop, dive into all of them or one at a time because a membership unlocks access to all the knowable courses!!! Perfect for my ADHD brain and my sometimes scattered interests in learning new topics. Great app for someone with a desire to learn <3 thanks knowable for feeding my brain this quarantine.

This app and content are fantastic ways to really maximize your time when you can listen to something on the go or need hands-free. I’ve listened while driving, running, walking the dog, giving baby a bottle, putting away dishes, brushing teeth, you get the idea. Specifically, the courses are helpful to get legit advice and education on bigger topics where you want some level of authority and expertise—and these deliver. In the world of so much free content we live in, I appreciate and don’t mind paying for this expertise. I’m ready for more topics I want to learn about!

The courses themselves are good and I’m glad that this app exists, it’s smart to have educational courses that exist in audio since these days it’s getting harder to devote time to taking online video classes! However, there are a lot of online seminars which I’d like to join but they’re on Clubhouse which is not open for registration yet. The app doesn’t give any invite to the service, so if you don’t already have a clubhouse account then you can’t really take advantage of the live seminars which is a real shame! Why restrict such a major feature to a service which the majority of users will not be able to access? Stupid. When clubhouse does open access for new accounts I’ll try the feature out and update this review!
