Great
Love this app! I've always wanted to read books like Principles, Influence, and Steve Jobs, but never had the time to get through the full books. I listen to Voxbrief during my commute and get to quickly learn the core ideas
Keeps me focused
Finished the summary for essential strategies for social anxiety today.Usually my mind wanders with audiobooks but seeing the words highlighted as they’re spoken is a game changer.
Saves me money
I use this as my main filter before committing to buying hardcover books. So many business books are just one good idea padded with 300 pages of fluff. If the 15-min walkthrough here is actually packed with value, I'll go buy the physical copy. It's already saved me so much money and time on books I would have abandoned halfway through.

Transparent
Clean app, great audio quality, and very fair pricing. Would love to see more science books added though.
Really smart feature
Being able to sample half the book is so smart.i realized i like the narrator’s pacing on Descartes’ Error and just unlocked the rest immediately.
So refreshing
Honestly, I like that app doesn’t force you into a sketchy free trial before you know what you are getting. You can listen to a decent chunk first, which was enough for me to judge the narrator and pacing. I tried Descartes’ Error, liked the way it sounded, and just unlocked the rest.
Actually helps you remember
Finally a summary app that doesn't go in one ear and out the other. The intro and outro structure really helps the ideas stick.
Finally!
I usually hate book summaries because they just give you a list of bullet points that don’t actually teach you anything.This app actually walks you through the concepts.I listen to the summary of “The Score Takes Care of Itself” on my drive to work and the way they broke down Bill Walsh’s leadership framework actually made sense.The 15 mins fly by.

Perfect for commute
Becoming Steve Jobs was packed with actionable stuff, not just vague advice. Good for my morning commute.
Needs a highlight tool
Good for retention. I use it every night. Only giving 4 stars because I really wish I could highlight parts of the transcript and save them to look back on later.
Nice app for quick unlocking your mind
Excellent app. Clear, well-structured summaries, a beautiful reading experience, save my time to read the whole book. Listen to one or two books on my way to work.
Better than any book review for deciding what to read
So I actually use this as a filter before I buy books — saves me from dropping $20 on something that turns out to be one decent idea padded with filler. The chapter modules let you see real quick if a book actually has substance or if it's just vibes. And the depth surprised me. The Principles summary (Ray Dalio) wasn't some "here are 4 bullet points" thing — it walked through the actual logic of why his framework works. Came away feeling like I genuinely understood the book, not just skimmed it. Ended up buying the full Principles hardcover after, which I guess means the app works lol

Pure Gold! Captured the essence of Atomic Habits perfectly.
I’ve been meaning to read Atomic Habits and How to Talk to Anyone for ages, but never had the time. VoxBrief broke them down into 15-minute summaries that hit all the key insights without the fluff. The audio quality is top-notch and the takeaways are actually actionable. It’s a game-changer for my morning commute! Highly recommend for anyone looking to level up their life.
