  8. ★★☆☆☆ ishita paliwal · 3 Oct 2026 · v3.176.0
    The summaries need significant improvement. I’ve read some of the original books featured on the app, and after listening to their summaries, I often feel that the main message of the book gets lost. Many of the summaries feel vague and disconnected. Chapters sometimes end abruptly, without enough context or a natural flow into the next idea. In trying to make the content shorter, important explanations and connections seem to be removed, which makes it harder to understand what the author was
    Developer reply · 5 Oct 2026
