Ratings and Reviews
This App has great potential
It’s basically like Blinkist, but more profound and with cooler features. I love how the summaries are precise enough to actually learn from it and the side notes are amazing.
BUT the app is quite buggy and trying to highlight lines can be a Sisyphos experience. Furthermore, I was quite disappointed that it was mostly self improvement books. They have their own right of existence, but I just wish there was more of the other books too. But I get that the app would begin with more popular self-help books and maybe later on add other genres too.

Best app for book summaries
I prefer this app, because the texts have much more depth than those of blinkist. They also offer much more details. Of course, for that to be possible, they have to be longer than the corresponding blinkist texts. But it is just not possible to reduce a 500 page to 15 pages.
