I love this app. I have my favorite books set up on playlist. I will pop in my ear buds from time to time and just listen. Between 60+ hours at work and my family I was forgetting to reinvest time in myself and to build on my core values. This app is a great resource to help you quickly capture inspirational pieces of information and gain fresh perspectives when needed.

Very bad client support, do not download the iPad version. I downloaded it on my iPad, and I was not able to change my setting from simplified Chinese to English, I don't get it, if the articles are all in English, why bother setting simplified Chinese as default? I emailed the customer service, I received two emails kicking me around different persons and the last person just disappeared!!!Think twice before you subscribeif you are planning to read it on your iPad!!

I haven't tried the app since in my first launch, when I tried to login with my Facebook account, I saw this weird screen with very strange icons on the top and Facebook login page included in the screen. What is that ? Why it's not sync with my Facebook account saved on my phone ? It's a very strange behavior. You've to change that. I really want to use your app since it's a very good idea. Don't hesitate to invest in the app to build a good UX ! Time is limited and we need this kind of application.

UX still hasn't improved with latest update. Confusing design, painfully slow, sync is a manual, foreground process, IA is a mess... Sorry, despite promising content, I'm done struggling through something that should be incredibly simple. See Pocket.

Beautiful app...Contains summaries of almost all the latest volumes of books....

It would be great if the app would 'memorize' where you left in a book, so you can pick up from there next time you open it
