Too confusing.
Sigh... Let’s get this straight. Going into Squirrly, I was expecting an intuitive, polished interface that played nice with Oxygen Builder. I thought I’d be greeted by a smart AI assistant that would take me by the hand and guide me through SEO optimization. Something that would clearly tell me what keywords to target, give me an honest assessment of my content, and hand over a prioritized, actionable task list that I could implement without headaches.
Instead, I got a clunky, disorganized mess. The interface is chaotic, features feel slapped together without any rhyme or reason, and after slogging through five painful hours trying to make sense of it, I couldn’t stomach it anymore. Navigating this thing feels like being stuck in quicksand—every action requires clicking through at least three different menus to find what you’re looking for. It’s maddeningly slow, frustrating, and frankly not worth the time.
And let’s not ignore the English on this platform—if you can even call it that. “Do a research”? Seriously? Who thought that was acceptable? The broken language only adds to the confusion and makes an already terrible experience even worse. It’s clear this wasn’t crafted by a native speaker, and it shows.
I’m honestly baffled at how Squirrly has so many positive reviews. Are we using the same product? Or is this just some marketing smoke-and-mirrors act? Whatever it is, I’m out.
Refund requested.
Best of luck to them—they’re gonna need it.
