    I had this app for a while. It was great before. But now, after they changed the design and user experience, it's terrible. I don't know who decided to make these changes, but they should be fired. The content quality is also dropping. Maybe a big company has taken over and is coming up with these ridiculous ideas.

    A customer who paid for the app is facing an issue where it stops running when the screen turns off. Despite trying various fixes like turning off battery optimization and keeping the display always on, the problem persists. The only workaround is to open a recipe app that stays active to keep the other app running. This situation is quite frustrating for the customer.

    If the app had more affordable membership options, it would be even better. The content is really good, especially during the free trial. The free version is too limited. There are two membership plans: $100 per year or $16 per month. It would be great if more people could access the app and its benefits.

    The app is great, but it can be tricky to handle the 'saved', 'finished', 'favorites' and 'collections'. It doesn't sync smoothly with the website, especially if you like reading on a laptop and listening on a phone. The laptop lacks the 'favorites' section. It's also difficult at times to distinguish between the author's examples or opinions and those of the reviewer or narrator.

    The app looks nice, has a great selection, and I appreciate the audio summaries. But, the summaries are not very helpful; they give too little information. They should be longer to provide more learning opportunities. I doubt that experts on these books are actually writing these summaries.

    I found this app really great for getting things done. At first, I wasn't sure if it would be useful, but I was surprised by how well it condensed book summaries into short 'blinks'. The app's design is sleek and user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and search for content. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the service they provide.

    The app is fine. I enjoy that each book summary is 20-30 minutes, great for a short walk or car ride. However, the interface needs enhancement and linking with my Kindle doesn't function. The extra account from Premium also has an issue. It should allow feedback within the app rather than via email.

    Every time I try to upgrade, it crashes. I can't listen to what I want. When I click on something interesting, press the upgrade button, it loads briefly, then I see a text before the app crashes. It's frustrating. Loved the app idea but it doesn't work for me. Uninstalling until there's an update.

    Great summary! The blinks are short, informative, and capture the essence of the books. It would be awesome to have a feature that quizzes you after reading to help reinforce the concepts. Books need time to fully understand, but overall, excellent job!
