High Quality, but Very Short Book Summaries

High quality book summaries overall and great variety. My only criticism, is while the super-short 3 key points style does make things quick, it is a little too short for some books that require more than 3 points.

Great Variety of Books, Great Summaries, Nice Free-Tier

I love the great variety of books and the great summaries. I also love that there's a free-tier, and you're not forced to pay for premium.

Magnifique découverte

Excellente application en français, beaucoup de choix .
Je recommande fortement.
Par contre, les voix IA ne sont pas naturelles, c’est très désagréable à écouter .

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the feedback. I'll pass your comments to the team so they know how you feel about the voice choices. 👍

Early Review

New to the app and have been mulling something like this for a while now. Having late diagnosed ADHD, sitting down to read books is not as relaxing as it once was. The thirst for knowledge is still strong so why not?
My only complaint is the confusing subscription model, for example, what’s the difference between the intro sale of $39.99/year and the gold minted $127.99/year? Also, why no family sharing? I’ve made a list of books that would be of benefit to myself, my spouse and my teenager … but, $120/year in subscriptions later, well the issue now is can I remember what I’ve “read” and pass it in the oral tradition of many indigenous ancestral cultures.
