Only on day two but So far Soo good.. I really like how you can change the speed that the summaries are read to you. my best speed for focus and absorb ability is 1.5... Also I am working on doing 2 books a day.. Think of it like cliff notes. I feel like a good upgrade would be to have a quiz at the end just a short 5 question deal to make sure you got the key points and help make it feel more like you read an entire book šŸ“ššŸ“– when you are done and in only 15 minutes or less. highly recommend.

I actually like the function of the app and use it, especially on short drives. One star because even though I've turned off all notifications in the setting I still get multiple notifications a day reminding me to use the app. I'm about ready to ask for a refund and uninstall and find something similar.

I thought I was going to like this app. Did the free trial and wasn't decided, so I was going to pay for a month, got the month price, and it hit my credit card for a year subscription. Seemed pretty underhanded to me, so be careful. They will hit your wallet when you aren't looking. Literally irked me to the point that the notifications just irritate me and make me want to find advertisements just to let people know. Reading more reviews, it looks like this is a common problem, get the money.
