Great
Great app , any book I want a summary on it gets , great stuff guys
Was great
Was great till app crashed and stopped working. Paid for lifetime membership. Wtf!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I like this but I would put Spanish in the section of languages
Good Idea, Bad Execution
Just an FYI if you saw this on tiktok: Most things are locked behind a paywall. Once you've done the initial setting up of the account, it pesters you to pay to unlock the full app, not even just fun bonus features. You have to pay to literally do anything.
Épico y emocionante
Muy bien
Ash
Sucks doesn’t give you any insight then charges you 50$
Great concept, poor execution
The idea is great. When the app works it’s very useful to read multiple books quickly and get the gist and main points. However, the app frequently crashes, thinks you don’t have an account when you do, and there are a lot of books that aren’t summarized yet.
LOVE
I have the paid version & I love that I can get book recs based on my personality. Also I stalk all my fav books that I read like authors character details & read the summaries if I forget what was said in a book series 🫶🏽 it would be cool if I could upload my good reads history as well
no free
no free for note or audio.bad experience
My go-to for reading
Allows me to accelerate my reading 10x
Why is it advertised as free or semi-free when you have to pay for everything? Use Sumreads instead!
I saw the app advertised as free unlike Blinkist, so I downloaded and filled the opening survey, and then it said I had to pay money to do anything. Not even one book was free. I could've tolerated a semi-free approach with limited selection, but this was nothing free. Was free it one point, but not now? If so, that's very rude. That's without getting into the low-quality AI summaries which would be tolerable if it was free, but since it isn't, I'm better off paying for the high-quality human-written summaries of Blinkist, or my current favorite, Uptime. Use the website Sumreads instead, actually free AI book summaries!
App not working
Concept is great when it works, but technical issues and very little support.
Can I give negative stars?
I was so excited to use this app. I was going to listen to so many books and I was so excited to see book recommendations. But no, I click on literally anything and it says I have to pay. Why didn't it tell me I cant use the app unless I pay? I wouldn't have wasted my time on answering questions if I knew it was pointless.
This is NOT a free app
The app can’t be used without their subscription!
didn't last a full minute
constantly asking for subscriptions, clearly very ai including several ai "written" books, mostly was self help books and there was no way to give preferences
You have to pay for this app
You have to pay for an app that’s AI generated??? What the heck?? You’re better off using GoodReads, Fable or StoryGraph instead if you want book recommendations from REAL people who’ve actually read the books!
App that instantly tries to make you pay before you can even see what it does
Did the whole download and answered all the questions then it immediately asks for you to pay to see anything. It doesn’t let you view your profile after asking multiple questions and having you upload your books and your reviews so it can build your preferences. I never pay for an app unless I can verify that it does what I want. It wouldn’t let me out of the screen to try and get money from me. I read a few reviews after and apparently if you don’t pay it doesn’t let you view anything. Also multiple people have paid but the app still doesn’t show them what it claims to. I won’t be wasting anymore time on this.
