Subscription trap, no money back!
I tried several times to get my money back within the 14 days withdrawal period (after the test phase automatically extended an annual subscription for 80 €. In the app you can request a refund, but here comes only an error message that refers to the support. You won't get an answer from support. Meanwhile, the 14 days are over and I did not get my money back and no answer from the support. Absolute impudence, stay away from the app!

Violates App Store ToS
The service is lower tier, and then they force you to enter your payment details on their site, even though I downloaded the app on the appstore… which is against Apple ToS ;)

The user interface is somehow not intuitive. As a person who lives in a country with an unstable data connection, downloading the audio summary is very important, yet it's obscured in the app. Would also be nice to be able to change the font type to sans serif type.

not bad... I like the short synopsis. not a big fan of the cost after the trial. I got charged and don't recall getting any kind of reminder. $99? isn't that good

The application is buggy
It's painful, you read, you look for a vocabulary word and the application crashes you can no longer scroll the page. It's like when you go from audio to text, it crashes... Test your app on iPad mini 5, there are reliability issues.

It is hard to cancel
At first when I signed up it said I had a trial period. I wouldn't have been so quick to sign up if there wasn't a trial period. Upon signing up my credit card was charged right away. That just made me mad so I wanted to cancel before even trying it. Canceling was difficult but when I hit the refund link the link was broken and threw an error. Needless to say I feel ripped off and consider this site to have no integrity. I can't find anywhere to request my refund or event to contact customer support. You left me no choice but to rate you!

Overall I think this app is great. The majority of the book summaries are well done and the books are effective. I did not subscribe because there isn't an option to pay monthly at the advertised promotional rate. The available monthly payment option is double the price and not worth the limited selection of books in my opinion. Give me the promotional rate with monthly payment option and I would subscribe immediately.
