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 .

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.

Hi marco.renna, thank you for the feedback, it's really appreciated. Please get in touch with our support team either via the in-app chat or email support@uptime.app. They'll be able to tell you what the best available deal is at this time. 🤓

Deceptive description

App Store does not state “In App Purchases” (no charge??) yet immediately hit with 7 day free trial then $19.99/ mo.

My device has been compromised, apparently

When opening app, a pop up says that my device has been compromised and the app is shutting down for my security. This is the only app that has ever done this. The only thing I can think of is I was on the beta version of iPadOS, but thats no longer the case.

Pop up is only visible for a split second and gives me no useful information.

ChatGPT summarise this pdf.

Ok idea but missing important details from the books, you don’t get the full picture. If want to tell your friends or speak to someone about the book is okay . You can also upload the pdf and have an AI summarise for you. As an app, it has a nice user experience.

UPTIME APP - Nanda Gonçalves

Indico a Uptime App porque é uma plataforma que vai muito além do aprendizado tradicional: ela transforma conhecimento em experiência prática. O que mais admiro é a forma como o conteúdo é apresentado — dinâmico, acessível e voltado para resultados reais.

Com a Uptime App, o aprendizado se adapta à rotina, permitindo evoluir de forma contínua e flexível. A cada módulo concluído, é possível sentir o progresso, e isso aumenta ainda mais a motivação. Além disso, a comunidade é inspiradora, repleta de pessoas que compartilham conhecimento e incentivam o crescimento mútuo.

Por isso, recomendo a Uptime App a todos que buscam aprender com qualidade, de forma prática e moderna, seja para desenvolvimento pessoal ou profissional.

“I hope that they die,” said the wife.

So I do this thing with 15 minute movies where I can get some more time-concentrated dopamine, which my wife absolutely hates. As a humanities major/masters, she’s intensely aware of the intention behind shared works, and can think of nothing more disrespectful to authors and creators than completely disregarding the carefully laid and intentional way in which authors decide to lay out their information in favor of a quick sparknotes.

If this was a service about exposing you to potential books to read in full, that’d be great, but $50/year for summaries is absurd. Some things take time, they’re supposed to.

Hi Billy Maise, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Interestingly, many of our users use Uptime for that very reason. To see if the original knowledge source is worth that extra time. So much money is wasted on material that we never have time to complete. I wholeheartedly agree that some things need time. Uptime can be used to help you decide what to spend that time on. 🤓

Seems like a brilliant idea just ONE thing though

As a student there is no way I could afford this which is sad (but) I understand your a business wanting to not only make unique and beneficial apps (but) you also have bills. Would be great if you had student pricing or once maybe every 3 months you had a flash sale for a day just to bring the app into the lives of people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford or learn from something that really is made to share knowledge. I did see each day you make 1 item free just is unfortunate that the pricing puts apps like this out of the reach of probably 75% of your audience. But again, I understand your a business and capitalism should reward creativity for apps such as this (even if taking into consideration the vast reach you might get by bringing in users who want to support you but have limited funds. 5 stars for the good apps like this provide the world (but) 3 stars because in that world only people with disposable income are able to really take advantage of that.

Maybe partner with Apple or other large wealthy companies who buy bulk subscriptions from you and make them available to those populations that aren’t able to afford?

Seems a win/win a tax write off for them doing something positive to make sure everyone has access to apps like this.

Great way to preview books before you buy them

I’m the type to always hesitate when buying books because I don’t want to waste my money on a book I would end up disliking. This app lets you scan the entire book so you can decide whether or not you’d like to purchase it. I think the format is great for those who have limited time! The work put into making books accessible is worth the premium version, in my opinion.

Tried Others

There’s plenty of book summary apps out there today. Uptime’s format is the only one that kept my attention. I like sitting back and “watching” the book unfold. You can switch from story mode to text mode anytime.

not very helpful if you’re not willing to pay for a subscription.

guess that’s just the trend these days- making the base version unusable. maybe it’s better with a subscription, but i wouldn’t know. deleting soon after downloading. i sympathize with the hussle but its a shame that the monetization of the idea took precedence yet again. i wish these services were more accessible to the general public, not the wealthy who can afford to have multiple subscriptions for every app they use.
