I had almost paid for lifetime version. The trial made me realise that I couldn't understand the accent in most of the audio books, and there were no options to choose a different accent (unlike SoBrief). Video summary were primitive. Those you suggest on youtube were better (it's disheartening that you don't offer their ad free version to your paid subscribers). Hope you would do something about it.

12/14/23 Great app. Love how responsive the customer service is and the intuitiveness of the app. Update: 4/29/25 I REALLY miss the Longshot options. It allowed a certain level of control, as I often listened to the storyshots, then read the full book. This current system isn't what I signed up for when I became a lifetime member. I'm a bit saddened by the direction this app has taken. For that, I'll be updating to 3 stars

    This app shines with its rich content. It gathers information from public platforms and pairs it with relevant videos and audios related to the book. The affordability stands out when placed next to other similar apps. Quality remains high, matching or even surpassing many others by linking to useful public domain videos on YouTube.

    I bought a lifetime subscription and regret it. Most of the material consists of self-help books that don't interest me at all. The content sounds like it came from YouTube and other free sources. Really disappointing. Update: I appreciate the refund. The user interface looks good, just not my cup of tea when it comes to content. Cheers.

    At first, it felt great. The content was engaging and insightful. Lately, though, it seems like they've shifted to using Google Notebook's LLM to summarize books. It feels less personal and more like a routine podcast. I could easily replicate that on my own. The AI misses the nuances and key themes of some captivating books. We didn't invest extra for this service; it feels like just running a book through readily available AI tools. Disappointing, really.

    So far, everything has been going well. I enjoy using the app, but there's one feature that would make it even better. I’d love for the app to run in the background. Sometimes I listen to a story and then I need to check an email or a message. When I do that, the story stops playing, and I miss part of it. It would be fantastic if I could keep listening while checking my messages. Please consider this update. Thank you!

    This app shines for learning. The user interface is fantastic, and the quality is top-notch. Adding more books would create an impressive collection. The Read, Listen, Watch feature feels so thoughtfully crafted. A big thanks for this experience!

    This app is amazing. The summaries are fantastic. I found one aspect a bit off. Some books have TED talks instead of proper summaries. They introduce the book well but didn't meet my expectations. Other than that, I loved everything else. The UX/UI shines and makes navigation simple. Thanks for creating this app. I truly appreciate it!

    The summaries are fantastic. The app is super user-friendly. You can read the summary, listen to it, and even watch related content. The premium cost is affordable compared to other apps. If you have a few bucks, it's worth it!

    The price is fantastic! This app offers a treasure trove of incredible books, including fresh releases. Voting for new titles adds to the excitement. The infographics are stunning. I got lifetime access for just $25. Incredible deal! A couple of things could use some tweaking. The "free full audio book" link directs users to Amazon/Audible, which isn’t truly free. Some long shots come off as podcast episodes. A bit more quality control would make a big difference. Some felt like second-rate options just to fill space.

    The app impresses with its summaries in Indian languages. That’s a huge plus! However, there's an issue when you click on search and type "it didn't." The app crashes instantly. Also, the selection of books could be better. Compared to other apps that offer summaries, this one falls short. Users can request books, but there’s no follow-up. A voting system for users to pick which books to add each month would be brilliant. It would keep everyone engaged and make the app even better!

    This app offers a fantastic variety of content. Adding Chromecast capability would make it more convenient to stream audio to Google Home speakers, especially while working from home. Also, adjusting the audio levels for each book would really enhance the listening experience since some are louder than others. Thanks for considering these suggestions!
