### 2/5 — Generic, Inaccurate & Poor English

*2026-08-31, version 5.1.7*

This was one of the worst summaries for a book I’ve ever encountered. “Themes of…” used multiple times in each chapter, the word “poignant” used over 15 times, and so generic it didn’t explain major plot points. I honestly can’t believe how low quality this summary of “The Dog Stars” was. Thankfully I only did the trial. Did AI or someone who just learned English write this? Unbelievably bad.

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2026-07-02, version 5.1.6*

Honestly, just take a break from podcasts for a minute and give this a try.

### 5/5 — Confidence Man

*2026-06-28, version 5.1.6*

A must read…especially now in retrospect.

### 5/5 — Bookey review

*2026-06-18, version 5.1.6*

Nice and good

### 5/5 — As a Man Thinketh

*2026-06-16, version 5.1.6*

This is a great book! James reminds us that our entire life revolves around our thinking, thoughts become actions!

### 5/5 — Bookey is great

*2026-05-31, version 5.1.6*

Bookey helps me with my AR reviews. It is a good help in understanding storylines for a lot of books

### 5/5 — Enchanting

*2026-05-30, version 5.1.6*

Easy to use, access and a wealth of material to choose from.

### 2/5 — Glitchy!

*2026-05-25, version 5.1.6*

Stops mid listen! Super frustrating.

### 5/5 — Excellente application

*2026-05-21*

Je recommande il y a tous les livres traduit en français pour certains et on peut vraiment les lire et relire c’est excellent

**Developer response:** Thanks for your kindly review.

### 4/5 — Updating your thinking buy controlling your thoughts…

*2026-05-21, version 5.1.6*

Great direction and suggestions 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🥰

### 5/5 — Liber null

*2026-05-14, version 5.1.6*

Excelente💜💜💜💜

### 5/5 — Great app for study

*2026-05-13*

This app can be a real help when you have a lot of material to read and digust.

### 5/5 — Great for History

*2026-05-12, version 5.1.6*

I used this to cram for a test and it really helped. I would not recommend trying to read a book in one night but with bookey around it makes things a little easier.

### 5/5 — Gospel in a pluralistic society

*2026-05-09, version 5.1.6*

Newbigin does the church a great service in a clear statement of the key issues presented by postmodernism.  However he does a disservice by lack of clarity or inaccurate redefinition of key points of evangelism and doctrine.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-08-30, version 5.1.7*

This app literally crashes every time I open it. It’s basically unusable. I’m disappointed

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2026-06-10, version 5.1.6*

Doesn’t have full book

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-06-06*

The sort of AI summary that sounds like a badly GCSE essay, done after swallowing a thesaurus. Oddly devoid of meaningful content, just said the same thing in several ways. I was listening with someone who had actually read the book and it in no way gave the sense of it. Worse, the AI voice couldn’t get the stresses correctly and called Elizabeth I Elizabeth i so clearly no QI. Delete!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We will try to refine the bad points.

### 1/5 — Suporte horrível

*2026-05-14*

Suporte horrível, não respondem

### 1/5 — App Reloads

*2026-05-11, version 5.1.6*

When reading inside the app the user is forced to keep Bookey in focus.  Otherwise, Bookey reloads and places the user at the start of the summary.  I have experienced frequent crashes when reading inside the app.  Deleting the app and re-installing does nothing.

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2026-04-26, version 5.1.6*

This is a scam. I subscribed for a free trial, did not like the app, but am unable to cancel my subscription because the app doesn’t appear in my subscription list. Now I have to email the company. Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Livre

*2026-04-24*

Mettez le mode gratuit please

**Developer response:** We have free content which you could enjoy free.

### 1/5 — indignada

*2026-04-01*

essa porra falou q era gratuito cara

**Developer response:** You could enjoy the daily free content.

### 1/5 — Não faça o período de teste

*2026-03-26*

O aplicativo é bom. Cumpre o que ele promete. Mas logo vi que não atenderia às minhas necessidades de ter livros mais completos. 
Fiz o período de teste e cancelei no mesmo dia pois é um valor bem caro.
Mas ainda não entendi porque fui debitada pela anuidade apesar de ter cancelado dentro do período de teste. 
Assim, infelizmente venho aqui minha insatisfação.

**Developer response:** Por favor, entre em contato com support@bookey.app para obter ajuda e reembolso.

### 1/5 — Was charged $79.99 for a free trial

*2026-02-28, version 5.0.8*

Went to start a free seven day free trial and was immediately charged $79.99 for the trial

### 5/5 — Petit bug

*2026-08-31*

Super application comme les autres commentaires le disent. C’est bien organisé et ça donne envie de lire, j’aime beaucoup. 

Sauf que quand on appuie sur l’icône « livre » pour lire le résumé, on ne peut plus la quitter sauf si on marque comme terminé. Je ne pense pas que ce soit fait exprès car quand on appuie, la flèche "<"et toutes les autres options autour s’affichent et repartent instantanément, ce qui nous empêche de les sélectionner.

Voilà, bonne journée.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I will report this case to our developer team.

### 5/5 — Efficiency is my heroine!

*2026-08-28, version 5.1.7*

Efficiency is my heroine and this app gives me that hit. It cuts out all the fluff from books and gives you only the gems. Such a great idea. I can get through a book that would take 60 hours to read in only 20 minutes. Incredible.

### 5/5 — Comprehensive catalog

*2026-08-20*

I’ve been looking for an Audiobook on various platforms for some time without success .. Bookey not only had the title I was looking for but also lots of other books by same author and at a reasonable price with the option to cancel at any time you can’t ask for better than that

**Developer response:** Thanks for your kind review.

### 5/5 — Reader

*2026-08-09, version 5.1.7*

Impressed. I still read most books cover to cover, however, if time is an issue or very complex plots, this is a great way to supplement that specific book.

### 5/5 — !

*2026-08-04, version 5.1.7*

Superbe application

### 5/5 — Super easy and practical to use

*2026-07-30, version 5.1.7*

I just started using this app and it had been super helpful to me grasp the major concepts of chapter of the book. So far it appears very accurate so hopefully I can use it as resource to get more books done with time is tight.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable

*2026-07-28, version 5.1.7*

Easy to use and has many books available

### 5/5 — gods of Eden

*2026-07-16, version 5.1.7*

Wonderful summary

### 5/5 — Kleitoncarvalhos

*2026-07-10*

Kleitoncarvalhos

**Developer response:** Thanks for your kind review.

### 5/5 — Great variety of different literary genres

*2026-07-07, version 5.1.7*

I find Bookey includes a wide variety of popular books published from different timeframes,  and have enjoyed using the free version. Looking forward to trying out the audio portion of this app as well!
