Best app in its category

I am an avid user of the app. Its content is unparalleled. For example, the book bites that are 15 minutes each are delivered to you directly from the authors. The books that are selected are the best in non-fiction. If there is a new book out there, you will find it here. After listening to the book bite narrated by the author, you can decide to read the book. A treat to listen to and guaranteed to make you smarter in 15 minutes. A must have easy piece if daily zen in my life. Thanks to the creators of this app for thinking of this idea and developing this app. On another note, if you have any billing issues with the app, the head of product will resolve it immediately. Their prompt response to our concerns additionally a wonderful customer experience.

How much is it?

Would love to have downloaded, but I can’t find how much it costs. Not a good sign.

Response from developer

Hi Girlshawn2, currently we provide a 7 day free trial that is easy to cancel before you are charged (and pricing is made explicitly clear when you start your trial). We hope you give it a try.

I love this app!

I love the Next Big Idea app! The book summaries or “book bites” are written by the authors themselves, so you know you’re getting what the authors think are the big ideas. I also love how you can read or listen to the book bites in about 10-15 minutes. I’ve already ordered 5 of the books I learned about on the app, and the app keeps me up-to-date with all the latest ideas being published today. Thanks for offering such an informative and fun way to keep up with the next big ideas coming our way!
