Complete scam. I tried to install the app but the app never installed properly and wouldn't even open. I didn't think anything of it until I was charged $42 for a 3 month subscription. Went online to cancel and was magically offered a year subscription for the low cost of 14.99. What they don't tell you until you click accept is that it's after the current billing cycle so in summary I paid over $42 for an app that I've never once opened. Steer clear of these scammers

Wouldn't recommend... Very expensive for what you get and the reading streak is -way too often- broken or lost. Couldn't use or open the app, find, open or read summaries on my phone. So, i had to use my husbands phone. Other older or newer apps are working fine on my own phone. Customer service replied after 3 weeks and closed the issue after 4 days of me not yet replying. It's a double standard there.

Missed the window to cancel the free trial period and was automatically signed up to an annual subscription at significant cost. Repeated requests for a refund have been ignored despite realising my error within 48 hours. Ridiculous to sign someone up on an annual plan after a 7 day trial and borders on a scam. On top of that, the app did not at all meet expectations.
