"Too expensive. Rs. 15000 for a book summary app is just a joke. They should introduce differential pricing for developing countries. Otherwise the app is good."

"Good app, purpose behind it is clear and we think you for that. But, pretty much everything is delayed. Load in time takes at least 10 seconds (doesn`t sound like a lot, but when you really wanna read summaries, it really gets annoying) Less than a few minutes ago, I was trying to search for a book, in the search tab. I made a typo, understandably no book showed up but as I attempted to correct, STILL NO BOOK SHOWED UP. I decided to read the books on my home tab. I WAS STUCK ON THR SEARCH"

"LOCALIZE PAYMENT I love it, yes it is the best, its not only giving you a summary but also cross-referencing similar books and articles, notes are awesome BUT its also the most expensive. Annualy its 4.3k Turkish lira WITH discount and its nearly one month of minimum wage. It may be affordable in USA but not in Turkey. Unless someone is rich they cant afford that. I can buy 50-100 books per year with that money, its too much for a summary-app."

"Useless over-priced service. The summaries are not good at all and customer support non-existent. The CEO sent an email saying ``I reply to every email personally``. But didn`t bother getting back despite emailing him twice. Oh and watch out for trial, cuz the trial period gets over in a couple of days and you get charged."

"In a short form of a book, I am looking for an accurate representation of the information as presented by the author. I am not wanting an editorial opinion on the content. I don`t want the reviewers reasons why the author`s presentation is incorrect or incomplete."

"I had a good impression initially, but because of the unethical practices I feel they are ripping off the customer base. Can you respond to this? Why have you developed such a bad relationship with the consumers. Particularly with the subscription traps. I honestly think this app had the potential to be really big but if you think you can rip your customers off and get away with it for free your wrong. You wasted your potential."

"This is my first book summary app I am using. So far has been good. The issue I have is when I use the search box for a book. 95% of the time it will not be able to find it. On the other hand if I do a search via a search engine using [Book name]+shortform or Allen Cheng, the summary appears and it is FOC, but not in the signed in paid app. This means I loose out on the other features, that are available when I read it from the paid app. It is annoying."
