This is waaay better than Amazon audible audiobooks and Kindle. It's faster with flexibility for video or audio summaries and has all the self improvement books for free. I liked it so much I bought it rather than an Amazon subscription. If I could recommend a change I would remove the splash screen so it loads faster when it's opened because I love it so much and add a dark mode

Among many apps that similarly sumerize books and ideas, this one (by far) offers the most with a free account. Paid is not much, but what I really like about it is the lifetime option. There was a time when a subscription option would have been scoffed at. I miss those simpler times.

I love this app because it is probably one of the only summary apps that let's you change playback speed. However, I find that not all of the summaries are high quality. Sometimes the "summary" is just an intro to the book and after listening I feel like I haven't learned anything. Also, it would be great if there was a feature to show how long each summary is.
