2024-10-06	Mo*****	The app keeps closing. It's like it needs to be on top everytime.....when all you could do is listen. If that is the case, Spotify would be a better option. Because I like listening to audiobooks when I organize my reading list, or play Total Battle.

2024-09-10	D *****	Don't get me wrong, there are many humans with monotone, unengaging voices that leave weird pauses between words and pronounce words.in unusual ways also.....but I am just not sure that we should seek to replicate this voices with AI. Nice idea, not quite there with it just yet I'm afraid and I can't quite engage with it.

2024-05-19	Am*****	The ads make it seem like it's got lots of neat features, but as far as I can see it's just a collection of audiobooks. Which is nice if that's good for you, especially for free, but I was looking for something more interactive

2024-05-05	TI*****	this app is helping me lengthen my attention span. the topics are interesting and it has good algorithm. however, i would like to make suggestions. please do make the saving much easier to do: instead of needing to open the audio book, put a bookmark icon on each card visible from the feed. and also, i am looking forward that you make an advancement with the audio book being played: such as making a notification card on the system (just like spotify) so users could easily control the sound.
