The app saves a lot of time from old-fashioned reading. I enjoy the format of the library, downloads, and an option to read the transcript at the same time. HOWEVER, there seem to be only 3 narrator voices, and I got tired of them. Additionally, I listened to a few summaries for books I also physically have, and the summary does not match the message of the book. In short, it was doing the interpretation for me, while the point of reading a book is to decide for yourself. Going back to books.

Fraudulent and deceptive practices! This app charged me without justification during the 7-day free trial, even though I canceled my subscription before the trial ended, on the first day when I downloaded it. They still processed the payment despite following the terms. Although they charged money, I don't have access to the content.. Be careful, very careful

Hello! We cannot charge users before the end of the 7-day trial. Play Store freeze the amount needed for a subscription 24 hours before the end of a free trial. The money leaves the bank account exactly when it should - in 7 days. You won't get charged if you cancel the subscription at least 24 hours before the due date. We hope this info helps

Be very careful with this app - the payment process is misleading as it offers a 7-day trial but then they charge you and you can't get a refund through Google or the developer. I cancelled my 3-month subscription in day 2 and could not get a refund. The reason for cancelling was that book summaries are written by AI with very low quality. Definitely do not recommend it!
