I am an avid user of the app. Its content is unparalleled. For example, the book bites that are 15 minutes each are delivered to you directly from the authors. The books that are selected are the best in non-fiction. If there is a new book out there, you will find it here. After listening to the book bite narrated by the author, you can decide to read the book. A treat to listen to and guaranteed to make you smarter in 15 minutes. A must have easy piece if daily zen in my life. Thanks to the creators of this app for thinking of this idea and developing this app. On another note, if you have any billing issues with the app, the head of product will resolve it immediately. Their prompt response to our concerns additionally a wonderful customer experience.
