## Most critical reviews (4 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-08-19*

Every book I try, I can’t see the summary. Says “missing api key” - whatever that means

**Developer response:** Currently the app uses your OpenAI api key to generate summaries. So you should generate an API key from OpenAI and enter that in the app.

Soon we will make it work without the OpenAI key.

### 1/5 — No help?

*2023-07-10*

The app wants an API key, but when I provide mine it said it was invalid. There doesn’t seem to be any way to contact the developer through the app or website for assistance. Without the api key I can’t use the app so it’s pretty useless until the bug is fixed.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-04-21, version 1.0.5*

I can’t see the text

**Developer response:** Hello. The bug have been fixed. Please update to the latest version.

### 5/5 — Good app 👍

*2023-05-27*

Summarize with all the points. Can be a bit more details, with examples or scenarios/situations from the book.

I tested with “The richest man in Babylon” - I’ve read it before - and it produced good output. 

Suggestions: create social media posts from books, with images and hashtags?

Also, catalog of book summarized / my book library can be in an alphabetical list and searchable?
