LEAGUE AND FRIENDS
If you want, pick a nickname and join the weekly league: points for reading minutes and finished books, a leaderboard with your friends, and badges. With the profile, your progress is saved and comes back with you if you change phones. No chat. It's optional, it doesn't ask for an e-mail or password, and you can delete your profile inside the app at any time.

INVITE A FRIEND
Every book has an "Invite a friend" button. Your friend uses your code and you both get 3 days of Premium; you can collect up to 30 days in total. It's free: nothing is charged.

HOW ACCESS WORKS
Free: 2 complete summaries, with no time limit and no sign-up, plus today's free book.
Premium: the whole catalog, with no ads. Yearly and monthly plans; the price is shown in your local currency before you subscribe. Before subscribing, the screen shows what you will be charged and how to cancel. Cancel anytime in your App Store account. Billing is always done by Apple.

Sometimes we hand out promotional gift codes that are free (never sold) and unlock a few courtesy days of the same content. Redeem them under "Resgatar código" (Redeem code) inside the app.

PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION
15 minutos Premium Annual (1 year) and 15 minutos Premium Monthly (1 month). The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, in Settings > Subscriptions.
