I’ve reached out several times with in few different ways and no luck whatsoever. I’d like to report the login screen issue.

Promising app, good summaries with more detail than Headway but lacks common features like highlighting and spaced repetition.

My only complaint is the affiliation with The Good Book Company. There aren't going to be any topics about alternative life styles. Mainly your career, straight relationships and money. That being said the only audio book options that aren't just an AI voice are the ones from The Good Book Company. Definitely not something I would subscribe to or purchase outright but the free book a day is nice.
