I originally downloaded this app to see if I wanted to buy Michelle Obama’s new book and wanted to read a good summary. I loved the summary and just kept reading more and more book summaries because it was so easy and interesting. I ended up buying the book plus two others - so be warned if you like books you will keep wanting to read the next hack suggestion as it is hard to put down!

I wrote a review last month about how much I loved this app and how excited I was about the fact that it was free. Well, they have decided to starting charging a membership fee (there will still be a free version though) and... ...I’m still in love with this app and will continue to support them by purchasing the yearly subscription! 😉 It’s worth it! And I really appreciate the discounted “Founder Membership”. Thanks this app!

This app took me by surprise considering how new it is. The feature to share onto Instagram stories is genius and I know I will be using it a lot. You can retain so much knowledge by using this tool for 5 minutes. I know it will keep me from starting a book and not finishing because I lose interest.
