This app is immensely helpful! I feel like I've learned a lot, and have actually used the knowledge I've gained in my career. However, I'm not a fan of the AI voices as they pronounce things strangely, skip words, and sound so dry and stiff. I also would like to be able to save challenges to my library and, if possible choose a narrator. There is one male narrator who sounds like every word hurts his throat. Apologies if this voice is of a real person, and it's just the AI that's being weird.

I paid for a full year's subscription and only got about 3 months out of it. Now when I open the app everything is grayed out. I contacted customer support via email and they provided basic troubleshooting techniques. Ultimately when their advice didn't work they suggested that it's my internet speed. I have At&t 1GB fiber in my home and I sent the proof of my internet speed. I even tried it on a different device, there's an issue with my account and they have stopped responding to my emails..

Good concept. really wanted to like it. sounded like ChatGPT summaries read by AI. The summaries were not really helpful and some of the voices were just bad or robotic. There are no book pictures/covers. These things need to be addressed to bring me back on. False advertising: promos are not accurate and charge higher than advertised. For developer: maybe list short, med, long summary options for books. 10min summary on 100 page book might be ok, but not for a 500 page book.
