Ratings and reviews

Outstanding app and an exceptional service overall. I’m mainly interested in nonfiction, history, biographies, and business books, and even though their primary focus is on fiction, I genuinely appreciate that they still cover the genres I care about, and hopefully they continue expanding in that direction. As things stand, and as I tried many other book summary apps, I honestly don’t think anyone else on the market is doing it better than they are.

For bookclub, when I am the presenter, it's a great tool. also great refresher for times when I have read the book a few months earlier (or not at all.) It gets me up to speed to be able to participate in our meetings better.

Very beneficial to getting a solid understanding of books when you have a limited time to read.
