12/14/23 Great app. Love how responsive the customer service is and the intuitiveness of the app. Update: 4/29/25 I REALLY miss the Longshot options. It allowed a certain level of control, as I often listened to the storyshots, then read the full book. This current system isn't what I signed up for when I became a lifetime member. I'm a bit saddened by the direction this app has taken. For that, I'll be updating to 3 stars

We're sorry that you're not happy with the current direction given how much value we've provided at a fraction of the cost of our competitors over the years. Would you please contact our support and share what else we may be able to do?

I had almost paid for lifetime version. The trial made me realise that I couldn't understand the accent in most of the audio books, and there were no options to choose a different accent (unlike SoBrief). Video summary were primitive. Those you suggest on youtube were better (it's disheartening that you don't offer their ad free version to your paid subscribers). Hope you would do something about it.

Thanks for the feedback, Pranav! We're not familiar with SoBrief but it seems it's 100% AI generated (so no editorial content like ours). We may be able to provide audio content in a different English accent with our AI feature soon. We'll look into what we can do with YouTube. It will probably involve an extra step on our end.

This app actually has a FREE mode with ads and gives you the option to read, listen, or watch a video. There is a paywall, but you can always X out of it. I'm enjoying the books so far and am considering a low cost annual subscription.
