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.

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
