Great/Functional

Great app...with a busy life this app provides an efficient way to read more books in a short of time! It is easy to find 15 mins a day to read, to learn more and to enjoy it!!! Definitely recommend it ;)

Great idea / poor execution (but fixable)

The idea / concept is great. Provide summaries either written or audio on well known books that people want to read. Works well as a substitute for reading if you are happy with a very light version or as a good precursor so you have awareness of the concepts as you are reading the book itself.

BUT, the app itself is unusable. It tries to prompt me to repurchase a subscription every time I try to read a note (even when I’m signed in) and I have not been able to successfully read a note on the app yet. I am able to use the mobile website to read them but that is not a desirable way to access the content.

I would not have written a negative review regarding this except for what I consider the biggest flaw of the entire service. There is no way to contact support or provide feedback based on user experience. The developer needs to find a way to let people notify them of bugs so they can develop fixes for the issues and improve the UX.

Fraud

I liked the idea of this app when I came across it on an Instagram ad, but was charged $69 for absolutely no reason. I would consider redownloading, but there was absolutely no reason that I should have been billed, because I hadn’t even used the app yet when I noticed I was billed.

I accept that I may have made a simple mistake, but my interpretation was that this app is scamming people out of money by getting them to download it without the consumer truly knowing what they’re getting. This is obviously deceptive ethics, which is why I am willing to give the app creators the benefit of the doubt, but I really need a refund because I didn’t consent to payment.

Give me a refund!!!!
