Excelente app!!

Me encanta esta app, tiene mucha variedad de libros de todos los tópicos. Puedes establecer metas de lectura y ver los avances según el perfil. Los resúmenes son muy buenos y puedes descargar los audios para escucharlos offline.

Sondaggio invadente

Togliete il sondaggio obbligatorio per favore. L'app è inutilizzabile, ad ogni esce fuori il pop-up anche una volta fatto...

Disappointing

I installed the app and payed for 1 year subscription. During this time I did not found what I expected from it and did not use it much. I therefore decided not to renew the subscription before reaching the date. Despite this I have been charged the full amount for the renewal. I’ve tried to contact the customer service via email but after over a month I received no response from them. Shame!!!

Veramente interessante

Alcuni feedback, app generalmente migliorata dopo l’update, si potrebbe aggiungere il nome della raccolta ai singoli episodi, oltre al titolo dei singoli episodi.

Annullare assolutamente la pubblicità per il piano premium, per gli utenti premium.

Response from developer

Salve Fabio, grazie del feedback! un saluto

Male dominated, even for female authors and subjects

I was initially excited to find an app that could read various subjects in Italian. After a while it became clear that they cater to a male audience. Nearly all of the readers are men. Even when it comes to women’s topics like sexuality and women, authors that are writing about sensitive, female subjects, they choose to read it by a man. I wonder how many women are in their audience? I’ve written to them and was told that the Spanish version has a lot of women readers. Hello? I am interested in Italian get with the program! Hire some women readers. This is another example that sets up our society to be male, dominated, and like women don’t matter. Honestly, very, very disappointed and wish I could get my money back as I don’t want to support the patriarchy. #guiliacechettin
