Super Konzept

Ich finde diese App und dessen Konzept dahinter ehrlich super, nur würde ich es lieber haben, wären die Übersetzungen auch auf anderen Sprachen als nur auf Englisch, deswegen nur 4 Sterne.

WAAAAY too many ads!

In a 17 minute story shot there was approximately 10 minutes of ads! I will definitely not pay for the subscription saddened by the capitalistic greed of the free version of the app. Do better.

Great

Excellent Book Choices
