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.

Very expensive for the poor app design. Extremely long pages for reading on a phone & forgets where you were on the page as soon as you click away - come back and it has defaulted to the top of the page & you have to find your place by scrolling. The only forward/back buttons are at the bottom of pages - makes it very difficult to flip back and forth if you want to visit a previous page. The search function is slow. The book selection is good but not great. Very expensive for what it is.

The best summary app from the ones I tried. Comprehensive info for more dense books, concise info for simpler books, while still enough. References to related info outside the book. Some summaries are better than others. There were technical issues here and there. If you want your 3 pdfs each week, set up an alarm to choose them every 7 days, or the credits expire (if you did not download any pdfs in months, you still only get 3, then wait 7 days. Overall, worth trying if you are interested.
