LOVE this app
I use this app almost every night to read before bed. It’s relaxing to me and allows me to “study” Spanish as I wind down for sleep. The ONLY complaint I have is the self-help books (and maybe others? I’m not sure) are books _about_ the book itself, which is not really the same as reading a simplified version of the book, the way the others are written. In other words, instead of having the book be a simplified version of How to win friends and influence people, the book talks about why the book became so popular and what from the book resonated with people.

Thank you — reading before bed is exactly how a lot of people use Eppika, and it's good to hear it works for you. Fair point on the self-help titles. A novel can be retold scene by scene; a non-fiction book has no plot, so we retell its ideas through short scenes instead, and that reads differently from the original. If one of them felt like it was describing the book rather than teaching from it, email support@eppika.com with the title and we'll look at that one specifically.
Love it
What a great thing

Thanks for this. Glad it's working for you. Happy reading.
Amazing app but…
I love this app for learning, the stories are great, the options are plentiful, and it has helped my reading comprehension immensely. The only feature I’d wish they’d add is when you click on a verb to translate it, I’d like it if there was the un conjugated form too. That way you could learn new base verbs as well as their forms. Just an idea, hope y’all like it.

Showing the base form of a verb next to the in-context translation is a good idea. I've passed it to the team. Glad the stories are helping your reading, and thanks for writing the idea up properly.
No Free Trial - Not Worth It
First off - no free trial offered, so you jst have to jump in and pay for the trial period.
Then, although the concept sounds appealing, my foreign language level is elementary .. so you’d think I’d start out reading elementary-level books?
No - I started out on Sherlock Holmes.
I don’t think this app will really help my foreign language comprehension.

It asks for a free trial as soon as you log in and you can’t try it at all.
