Ratings and reviews

If I could give zero stars I would. ShortForm charged me $160+ for the upcoming year without any email. No reminder. Just an auto-renewal at a higher price than last year. I only realized it after the charge hit my card. I reached out to support, and they refused to refund me. No help, no flexibility. This is a shady subscription model designed to catch you off guard. I would not recommend ShortForm based on this alone. If you try it, set a reminder to cancel—because they sure won’t remind you.

I like the app. It has a lot of great features and well thorough summaries for a variety of books. However, I am giving it 3 stars because for its price; there should be a lot more books. Especially in the fiction section. A lot of the books available are the same famous books you could find in any other app. Additionally, sometimes the audio summary goes from one summary to another identical summary. So its like listening to practically the same thing twice.

Best of the best for book summary. Lots of features too. Would otherwise give it a five star... But, the voice. It's decent. I just wish there were a few more options to choose from. The narrator has that kind of voice I would expect to sell me something. I would love a women's voice, maybe British for those more scientific, philosophical reads.... Anyway, not a huge deal. I'll likely be subscribing either way.
