Decent
Existential Punk
I found this after deciding to read Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’. I needed help since I have processing and comprehension issues, especially reading old language like this. The app has been helpful, but something that grinds my gears is when I exit the app, then when I return, it has exited out of where I was when I left the app. This is a huge pet peeve of mine, whether in this app or other apps. If I wanted to leave where I am currently, I would leave. The chapter summaries have been helpful, especially clarifying things that are confusing with the old language and some dialects of some peripheral characters, but which are germane to the story. Also, an integrated dictionary would be helpful so one does not have to switch between this app and another one. Minor things. I still recommend the app as it’s got more things going for it than not.
Developer Response
Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to call this out. Our team is actively working on improvements to the mobile app, including smoother navigation and better progress saving so it’s easier to pick up right where you left off. We’ve also shared your excellent suggestion for an in app dictionary with the team. Thanks again for your feedback, and we hope you stick around to see these and other improvements roll out.
Loaded questions
HM middle school teacher
I spent about 10 mins in this website before it was obvious the questions are heavily loaded. The way the generated questions are asked removed the possibility of kids thinking for themselves by already embedding moral undertones. For example, in Amos Fortune Free Man, instead of recognizing the time period in which the book was written AND the main character’s own viewpoint, the questions not-so-subtly accuse the author of racism and sexism. However wrong slavery was and is (and it is), it can’t be denied that Amos Fortune’s experience was not 100% terrible, and in fact HE saw it as the hand of God in writing his own story. He maintained the outlook that there was a hand of providence over all of his life, and that is overlooked by the way some of the summaries and questions are posed.
Developer Response

Thank you for sharing your perspective, and we appreciate you taking the time to help us improve.
Fantastic but beware of spoilers
jeffy151
I love the content of these book summaries! They’re well written and well thought out. The chapter summaries and analysis are awesome! I like to read fantasy series which can be a lot of information, so this app helps make it more digestible and elevate the reading experience. However, I’ve noted a couple of occasions where a spoiler is provided. I know that they are intentionally provided as context to understand the overall plot, but I would prefer to not have them.
Developer Response
Thank you, Jeffy. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience with spoilers, and we understand how frustrating that can be. Our team is actively working on improvements, and we hope you’ll continue to trust SuperSummary to enhance your reading experience, especially with fantasy series. Thanks for sharing your feedback, and we look forward to serving you better ahead.
