Ratings and reviews

Sometimes the app freeze. Most books are between 14 mins to 20 mins. The summary is so so. They didn't get the main point. Not too many selections. They said they added 10 books per week, but there is no way you can know it. I can only see probably 40 or 50 books available. I have a technical problem. I sent them an email, but they never replied to me back. They said you can search for a title if it's not there then I can submit a title and amazon URL. URL is optional, but it's not. The app required you to have Amazon URL. You can't copy and paste. When I typed the whole URL. The system still doesn't accept it, so you can't really submit any title at all. I saw other users have the same problem, but nothing fix.

This is a pretty good service. It is a good deal, with decent summaries. With that said, note these two very important things: 1. On occasion, the app loads but doesn't bring back any books at all. I assume their server is down when this happens... This can be VERY frustrating, especially if you only have a few minutes to read - which happened to me yesterday. 2. Some of the summaries are great, but others have NUMEROUS spelling and grammar errors making them nearly impossible to get through.

I just opened an account and have read through a few books, and so far ALL have significant grammatical errors and occasional completely nonsensical word choices. I realize this company is from Brazil, but they need to do a better job of editing their English-language offerings. I purchased over Stack Social and unfortunately am not able to get a refund. As it stands now, this is not worth even the discounted price that I paid. Also APP suddently stopped working when I wanted to read, but was ok next morning.
