User reviews

It’s okay

So many apps that do book summaries… this app doesn’t excel any anything in particular. But with that said, they are asking a reasonable price (with the promo).

I have several other favorites, and this one won’t be joining that list.
Some constructive criticism: needs dark mode, also needs to suggest other similar books to the one you are looking at.

Good

Great

The service

I am glad this service is available to listen to a book in ten minutes. Although it quicker than reading it is not giving you the full summary of the books l have read. I think you need more time to summarize them.

Response from developer

thank you for your support. Bookwaves is mainly designed to extract the core value points of the book, save users time in preliminary screening, and help users decide whether they need to spend more time reading this book. We have always felt that good books require reading the original. No matter how good the summary is, it cannot replace the original.

I canceled my subscription and they still charged me .

Canceled my subscription and they still charged me.

Decent

Thought it would be better. The voices are robotic and it’s just summaries of books and not full e-books. Disappointing.
