Ratings and reviews

The cost would be worth it for high-quality content and the app does a good job of encouraging habit regular use, but the book summaries, narration, and short videos are all pretty obviously AI-generated and so suffer from shallow interpretation of complex ideas, generic phrasing, and flat delivery, along with the occasional factual error. Additionally, the terms of the "free trial" are not very clearly stated, as other people have mentioned, and so you may get charged accidentally.

This is a very motivating app for the average person who is looking to improve themselves and are not sure where to begin. The narrator has a very clear and pleasant voice speaking at a speed that makes it easier to follow each sentence of the topics that you are listening and learning about. I became engaged into each subject immediately and took notes so I can remember the important key points and if I wasn't able to write as quickly as the speaker you get a button to rewind how brilliant!

Such an amazing addition to the morning routine. Even when I'm pressed for time, I can use the daily cards as a way to center myself and gear up for progress in all areas of my life. I'll buy the book to support the author if I really like the content. Some books could be articles. This is a great way to get the "meat" out of the book without 200 extra pages telling stories trying to drive the main points home.
