Ratings and reviews

Decent selection of summaries. Apps is easy to use and not too expensive.

I am trying to read the summary of HUMANKIND: A HOPEFUL HISTORY, but the screen flashes between the words and undecipherable characters. Can you, please, help me with that. I am new to the SuperSummary platform. This is the first written summary I have encountered. The first read was an audio book, THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS, which was a satisfying experience.

This is just a money grab and quite frankly a waste of time. It wasn't very useful for my assignment, and they say they give refunds within 7 days, but only gave me half refund. It's absolutely ridiculous. Try something else for your assignments.
