Has this app stopped refreshing

Worst app ever

Developer looks like is paying around, no updates, changed name of the app and did not honor lifetime users. Don’t loose your time.

Worst summary app

This might be the worst app ever for summaries. It’s a cross between frantic Snapchat and Instagram stories. The book summaries are decent, but they don’t let you go back as you’re reading from screen to screen, and if you exit out and try to go back in, you have to watch an ad. This is all “free” but I say that in quotes because you have to watch a ton of ads. You’ll waste all the time you’ve saved reading summaries by watching ads. It's incredibly disappointing.

Inappropriate

As I looked through the content of this app I was shocked at what I found on an app rated four and up.
There were articles containing content that shouldn’t be read even by grown adults.
This app contains content on things I don’t even like to talk about to a close friend

Got lifetime and now they changed name and swrvice

I got lifetime servixe to support it, and they changed their business models bow inonly get 2 credits means can only listen 2 times.

Worst thing is you cannot mover forward or back .
I had to close the app, and when I came back it used the 2nd credit to let me listen.
So used 2 credits. Fir half a book summsry. Awful.
