Ratings and reviews

I'm trying it out for now. You can think of this app as cliff notes for rapid improvement based learning through books. You get a curated list of books, from whatever you choose ad your goals/things you want to be better at and they provide accredited books that can help you with achieving those goals. granted the app isn't going to make the change, you are but at the same time you are the one reading very specific solutions, tips and techniques to do such.

This app is perfect if you have the want to better your self, but lack the time or haven't made the time in your life for full size book. The way it's set up you can still lose you self in the short knowledgeable reads. Great to use to help you know what full sized book you want to start with when you make the time to do so.

The app itself works well, reliably. Concept is sound and useful, and I walk away with the intro/overview intended. Selecting interest areas sets up a big list of options to "meet your mood" and the larger library is vast. I like being able to adjust speed and to toggle between just listening and reading along. But you can not choose or adjust the AI narrator voice and there are a few I literally cannot listen to. Tinny, clipped, robotic, abrasive. Too bad actual humans are just so expensive /s
