User Reviews

Overall, users praise the clean UI and card-based reading format, plus strong audio and varied content. However, recurring problems drag down the experience: login/signup failures, poor and slow support, frequent crashes, and a limited library. Missing features like dark mode and flexible audio speeds, along with pricing concerns, are common complaints. Improvements in account handling, reliability, and feature parity could significantly enhance overall satisfaction.

Pros

Card-based reading format improves readability and focus (helpful for readers with dyslexia).
Beautiful, simple-to-use UI.
High-quality audio content and concise summaries.
Engaging content selection across topics.
Calming alternative to music for relaxation or workouts.

Cons

Persistent login/signup issues and access problems (codes not received, sign-in failures).
Slow or unresponsive customer support leading to unresolved issues.
Frequent crashes, slow performance, and data-fetch errors.
Limited library with not enough available titles.
Missing features and pricing concerns (no dark mode, limited audio-speed options, upfront subscription cost).

Recent reviews

Spent 1 hour trying and creating to login to the plan I signed up for. Doesn’t remember. Always asks me to sign up again. Tried numerous fixes. No luck. They need to FIX this before selling this app.

It’s got a bit of a bug that’s been happening over and over again. Tech support responded the last time it happened (a few weeks after I reached out) but now that it’s happening again they won’t respond. It’s been almost a month. And follow ups also get ignored
