I can’t even try out this app to see if I like it or not. I spent the time putting all of my to be read books in it just to find out that you have to make a subscription purchase with them in order to use the app they do give you a three day free trial, but I don’t wanna go through all that I want to see if I like the app first before I do that subscription stuff

I also want to see the basic features of your app without having to sign up for yet another trial -I have no interested in signing up for yet another thing- in this case a free 3 day trial- when unsure if I even like the product yet.
