Ratings and reviews

It's a really good and useful app but it may be free to download but not free to use nor read any books on there like it used to so that part of the app is so unhelpful and so useless. I miss it when the books on this app were free to read makes me not want to use this app anymore.

Great instrument to receive knowledge in any topic you may think of in Christian life. Each book is a very useful exerpt of most important that it tells about. Very convenient, easy to read on the go, switches to audio version and back at the place you stopped. And there is a video version as well. And what is great, I can download summaries, so I can send it to my friend or store on my phone outside the app.

Awesome resource. The contents is great, and i learn a lot. I have checked multiple services, and i have not seen any other summary provider of christian books with such high quality selection. it doesnt have every specific book i wish for, but it has other books that are great in the same category. The free version is pretty good, even if there are some ads every now and then. and monthly subscription is cheap compared to similar services. Recommend!
