Ratings and reviews

This app is immensely helpful! I feel like I've learned a lot, and have actually used the knowledge I've gained in my career. However, I'm not a fan of the AI voices as they pronounce things strangely, skip words, and sound so dry and stiff. I also would like to be able to save challenges to my library and, if possible choose a narrator. There is one male narrator who sounds like every word hurts his throat. Apologies if this voice is of a real person, and it's just the AI that's being weird.

I paid for a full year's subscription and only got about 3 months out of it. Now when I open the app everything is grayed out. I contacted customer support via email and they provided basic troubleshooting techniques. Ultimately when their advice didn't work they suggested that it's my internet speed. I have At&t 1GB fiber in my home and I sent the proof of my internet speed. I even tried it on a different device, there's an issue with my account and they have stopped responding to my emails..

Some of the content is good, but a lot of it is read by AI and it doesn't sound natural, which makes listening not a pleasant experience. However my biggest problem with the app is that it keeps crashing and autopausing. There's even videos in YouTube about how to "fix" the issue but those fixes don't always work. I've stopped using the app because of this even when I got a lifetime subscription.
