Review of Qwen App
Categories:
The Qwen app uses four-direction swipe gestures. On the left are chat history and agents, and on the right is the agent marketplace. When the swipe trajectory on the screen is not straight up and down, but rather like a left-falling stroke (丿) or right-falling stroke, the side content will be triggered. To return to the chat interface, you don’t swipe the screen, but perform a back gesture, sliding in from the screen edge to return. If the directions get mixed up, the app will freeze. The Qwen app is the only app on the market that cannot continue answering in the background. I sent the same question to multiple AI tools, and Qwen was the only app that interrupted its response 100% of the time. My unfamiliarity with the app is not the main reason I don’t primarily use Qwen. As for the Qwen model, when I used it in the first half of 2025, for about half a month to a month, it felt quite good. After that, the Qwen model became very dumb. Now I only go back to check its performance when Qwen runs ads again. At the beginning of 2026, I still think its model lacks competitiveness.
