  • Interesting material in a condensed format

    They have topics on everything it seems like, you can read into whatever suits your fancy. They take a book and give you the spark notes version, but don’t strip out all the good stuff. It only takes 10 minutes or so to go through each one, which isn’t too long but long enough that the material can sink in a bit. I suggest not jumping from book to book too fast or you’ll forget what you read after awhile.

    Interesting subjects and very easy to use and understand. However, that’s where it ends. Canceling your subscription is tough and complicated to do. I do not recommend for this purpose.
  • Beware!!

    I paid for a subscription and every time I attempt to listen to a selection, I am asked to sign up for a free 7 day trial. Why would I want a trial if I’ve paid for a subscription? I’ve tried emailing support for help with no success. They took my money but deny me access.

  • Simple Simon

    I called it Simple Simon as the ideas a presented in simple ways that fit a complex study I have had of human behavior and ideas through Clinical pastoral Education (CPE) that helps us as chaplains know who we are, our hurts, our healing, and focusing on knowing who we are so we can do Whst your article has said. It covers positive handling of ideas in easy ways to understand and apply.
  • Liking the app

    I like it a lot! Learning a bunch. Being able to get gists of different books. Helps. I don’t have the time or energy to read a LOT of books but I feel like I’m being exposed to a variety of different authors
  • It is hard to cancel

    At first when I signed up it said I had a trial period. I wouldn’t have been so quick to sign up if there wasn’t a trial period. Upon signing up my credit card was charged right away. That just made me mad so I wanted to cancel before even trying it. Canceling was difficult but when I hit the refund link the link was broken and threw an error. Needless to say I feel ripped off and consider this site to have no integrity. I can’t find anywhere to request my refund or event to contact customer support. You left me no choice but to rate you!
  • Violates App Store ToS

    The service is lower tier, and then they force you to enter your payment details on their site, even though I downloaded the app on the appstore… which is against Apple ToS ;)
  • Loving my free trial!

    I love to read but have not had the wherewithal/time/etc to do it in a little while and I love that I can get a little glimpse into a book. It’s also great to bookmark books I want to read later! Great stuff!
