No "Restore Purchase" option and zero support response

I reached out to their support team via email to resolve this, but I have received no response. It is unacceptable to ignore paying customers, especially regarding basic account access. Do not upgrade to Pro until they fix their account migration process and improve their customer service.

Game changer for busy reader

I’ve tried several book summary apps, but Heardly stands out. The summaries are concise yet capture the core ideas perfectly. The audio narration is smooth and pleasant—great for my commute or workout. I love how I can digest a full non-fiction book in under 20 minutes and still remember the key takeaways. The interface is clean, no clutter, and the daily recommendations are spot on. If you want to keep learning without sacrificing hours, just get Heardly. Worth every penny.

It's my go-to app for listening to books anytime, anywhere

I'm blown away by this app! It revolutionized my reading with crystal-clear audio, a user-friendly design, and a huge book selection. My absolute favorite for listening on the go. Highly recommend!

Sound disappears

Sound disappears after a few minutes. Tried to delete and install again. Still the same.

Really wanted this to work

Tried multiple times to create an account and login. Could never get past login screen. Bummer

Great app

My friend recommend to me, i like it, i like reading but choose book is painful, it help me go through it, i can save at least 80% time.

Bad UI/UX - Distracting typos/glitches

I really wanted to like Heardly since the concept is solid, but the app is sloppily pieced together in a way that was too distracting to use. Clearly, everything has been created/written by AI and not proofread or reviewed. From “You might alsk like” to “Explore more in the hashtage” or the AI generated book art for “God, Human, Animal, Machine” that reads “God, Human, Animal, Mactfene”, the typos are littered throughout. There are also glitches, such as when I tried to listen to Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and after the intro voiceover completed, it would begin reading the takeaways from a completely different book. Overall, I found it unusable and frankly a disappointingly lazy display of AI, despite wanting to like it.

Assessment

Great content but… I’ve had to delete the app a few times in this first week because the audio quits working. It works again when I reinstall it. If it was once I wouldn’t think much about it but it’s been three times. I love the content!

Innovative way of reading

The app is a very innovative tool to read some of the most popular books. The instructions and user interface are pretty intuitive for someone who is new to the app. Looking forward to unlocking more readings!

Great app for audiobook summaries

This app is excellent for audiobook summaries with a diverse selection of books—from literature and practical guides to academic works across various fields. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn something new quickly in their spare time.

Fast&Easy Book Summaries

The app makes it so much easier for me to absorb key insights without spending hours reading full books. I love how each summary is concise yet informative, giving me a solid understanding of the main ideas in under 10 minutes. The wide selection across 28 categories means there’s always something interesting to explore. Since I’m particularly interested in the art category, I’ve found some great recommendations that I might not have discovered on my own. Overall, Heardly has become an essential tool for me to stay informed and inspired, even with a busy schedule.

Great app for knowledge

Concise and efficient for a quick glimpse of book content. Helps me understand the gist of many books while filtering out a few to read in details. Highly recommend.

Amazing app for everyone!

This app is absolutely amazing! It’s incredibly easy to use, even for someone who’s not tech-savvy. The library of books is extensive, with so many genres and titles to choose from—it’s like having an entire bookstore in your pocket! The audio quality is outstanding, and the pronunciation is clean and perfect, making it a pleasure to listen to. I love how smoothly the app runs, with no lag or bugs, and the interface is intuitive and user-friendly. Features like bookmarking and playback speed adjustment make the experience even better. This app has truly enhanced my reading habits, and I can’t recommend it enough!

Can’t cancel…

This is basically a synopsis equivalent to what you can find on the book cover. They said it was easy to cancel during the 7 day grace period… IT IS NOT… beware!

Scam

I was charged for access to this application and it allowed me to set up my account. However it continues to tell me I am entering the wrong password and they do not have a password reset option. More concerning, I cannot find any way to contact Heardly to reset the password manually or to issue a refund.

Really good!

The voice of this audio book is really attractive. The book summary function of this app is fantastic!!

I luv diz app

Luv diz app! Random mode while driving is fire. No heavy reading—just quick info to keep it moving.

Don’t download

This is a scam, they offer you the trial possibility, then before your 7 days if you want to unsubscribe (because the summaries are very bad) you don’t have the possibility at anywhere! Now I’m trying to manage with my bank, I’ve just sent to the company an email to unsubscribe, of course they don’t respond me, THE WORST APP
