Ratings and reviews

I like the app. It has a lot of great features and well thorough summaries for a variety of books. However, I am giving it 3 stars because for its price; there should be a lot more books. Especially in the fiction section. A lot of the books available are the same famous books you could find in any other app. Additionally, sometimes the audio summary goes from one summary to another identical summary. So its like listening to practically the same thing twice.

After using this for a couple of months, I've noticed it offers value but still needs improvement. Combining reading and audio helps retention, but when distractions hit, I lose my place and struggle to sync back with the audio. A floating cursor to track the text alongside the audio would fix this issue. I'm sure this idea was discussed during development, and it's a shame it wasn’t implemented. Adding it would significantly enhance the experience.

Can we please get a follow-along feature with the audio. Lots of people shooting for success are using this app when they're handling tasks; it's always a headache when your hear genius but can't locate the text that follows. This feature is so little but huge, if this feature is on the timeline, then which quarter? Outside of that I love the content here please keep up the good work.
