About this app

Become the best version of yourself with the must-read books on self-help in 20-minute podcasts.

Thanks to Koober, turn your downtime (transportation, commute, sports, cleaning, cooking...) into learning time.

How do you do it?

1. We select the must-read books.
2. We transform them into 20-minute podcasts, called "koob". They are designed to learn everywhere and with pleasure.
3. We organize them into learning paths, so you don't have to choose.
4. We show you your progress, day by day.

Becoming the best version of yourself has never been so cool and motivating.

Ratings and reviews

If I could give a zero, I would. I saw an ad for this app and it gave the impression that it was free with an option to purchase for more. The truth is, the app is not free. You can absolutely get a free seven day trial for setting up a new account, but after that you have to subscribe to access virtually anything. While I appreciate the appeal of this app, I am not paying for you to paraphrase a book for me. The "value" created by this app is overshadowed by the cost. Uninstalled immediately.

most of the content requires a pricy subscription. but that's not my main gripe with this app. my main complaint is that there are a bunch of mistakes in grammar, spelling, etc in the koobs. a lot of the time the writing is just plain awful. given their main selling point is a bunch of summaries of books (i.e. the koobs), the low quality of the free koobs I've sampled make me feel completely unconvinced that I should pay to access the rest of them.

It's timely and financially efficient, one can read up to 14 books a day that may cost up to 200$ in less than 6 hours with only 8$ a month. However, I am a kind of a person who feels an achievement in finishing a whole book, so this concise form isn't for me.One thing though, I wish the downloaded books would be played like a playlist, pulling up while driving(on commute) to play the next book isn't ideal. Unfortunately, I'll unsubscribe and delete because I can't pay for monthly subscription.
