SO MANY BOOKS, SO LITTLE TIME

Nothing replaces reading a great book cover-to-cover. But have you ever left one unfinished? Instead, use StoryShots to learn or review the key insights of over 300,000 bestselling nonfiction books in minutes; instead of hours or never.

FREE STREAMING

Enjoy the key takeaways of 400+ bestsellers for free. Access key ideas of 300,000 books with StoryShots AI.

MULTIMEDIA - READ ON YOUR TERMS

Some people like to read. Some like to listen. Others like to watch an animation. You can do all three with StoryShots for every book!

PDF, SEND TO KINDLE, DESKTOP SUPPORT

Do you prefer to read on the desktop, Kindle or your Kobo device? We've got you covered.

REVIEW THE KEY INSIGHTS OF YOUR BOOKS

The key takeaways from each book are on average, 15 minutes long. Stop feeling guilty about the books that are gathering dust on your bookshelf. At the very least, learn their key ideas or review the key lessons of the ones you've managed to read.

30+ CATEGORIES

The books fall into these categories: business, entrepreneurship, management, leadership, self-improvement, productivity, psychology, habits, health, investing, economics, marketing, sales, history, philosophy, science, mindfulness, happiness, dating, and relationships.

* want to challenge yourself to read more

* want to be more efficient and productive by learning on the go
* get frustrated when an author repeats the same concept over and over
* need to learn the big ideas of a book before attending an event or walking into a meeting

iOS12 support

I applaud StoryShots for bringing back iOS12 support. I hope you will continue supporting it as long as possible, and ensuring cross-platform syncing continues to be refined and improved.

Great Product with Many Excellent Titles - But...

Excellent and large variety of quality titles. I was a longtime Blinkist user, and happy to find this product as a very worthy alternative. Unfortunately, after going back and forth with the developer we cannot resolve the problems with audio not working on many videos on several of my devices. Much potential but not ready for prime time.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your thoughts. Even after spending several days, we have not managed to hunt down and replicate the bug that's happening to you. It seems to be an edge case. That said, we'll keep on trying. Stay tuned!

Ok summaries.

The summaries are better than the shoddy ones on Headway. But the app itself is weak. There appears to be no way to exit a book without scrolling back to the top, and if you don’t finish a book in one sitting the app will forget where you were (and even which book) when you open it again.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback. It sounds like you're a free user who has access to our unique free tier giving you text, audio and animated summaries for ALL the books in our collection. To improve your app experience and gain access to exclusive content and benefits, please consider investing in our premium membership. If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact our support at support@getstoryshots.com We'd love to hear from you!
