12min: Book Summaries Daily

Update June 2026. I disconnected the app from the internet it’s sits in my phone with no convection to their services AND STOLL I GET DAILY REMINDERS. Why do I pay for this app? To read books at my pace. I don’t need to be reminded about anything from them no 3 times a day even if I’m not connected to their servers. They have had at least 5 updates to the app since I made my original request to make the already available button to stop the remainders work. Nothing has been done. If you want to be bothered 5 to 8 times a day with “remainders” please by all means pay for the app. Daily reminders come at all hours of the day. 11 pm 5 am when you’re in a meeting etc. They haves button to put them off. When you switch to off it automatically goes back to on. I’ve contacted them since I’m ever 2025. They have done SEVERAL updates to the app since then. Unwanted reminders -several a day- come in daily. I want my money back. Stay away from this service unless you want your phone dinging 4-8 times a day. !

I highly recommend this reading app to any lover of non-fiction books. I listen to a book every morning on my commute (the pandemic was a tough bc I worked from home). The Personality series is my favorite and wish they would expand this area more rapidly!! A “classic fiction” section would be ideal🤞🏼 One small “problem” is that I check off the books I want to read and then get confused over which one’s I have already heard. HINT HINT: add a “listen to again” feature on each book so I know if I’ve heard it once before. (Or even twice😉). Anyway, I was given a lifetime subscription for my birthday and it was honestly the best birthday gift I have received in years! This app is worth every penny, … money well spent!

i hate the idea of reading summaries because I’ve always love the feeling of finishing a book. to me, summaries are like cheat sheets, it’s an excuse for one to not read the book but still get the idea of the book. but as i grew up from elementary school, i have to help out at my parents restaurant and deal with school work to the point where i don’t even have time for myself. i could fit like some workouts into my day and that’s basically it. i never had to to read anymore. that is until i stumbled this app. at first, i didn’t like this app simply because of the fact that it’s summaries. the word just gives me a no. but after a while of thinking, i decided to give it a go because at least summaries at better than nothing. it’s free for like 99 percent of the app, i did pay for anything and like 99% of the app is free. i think if you pay a certain amount you can get premium or something but heck that, what i get within the app for free is just so amazing already. the app gives an in depth summary of nonfiction(i belive) books so you get all the key points and take away without spending time to flip through pages. you can read the summaries or listen to them. i listen to them before bed when i clean up my room and it’s such a life saver. think audiobook. listen to it when you run or drive or just anywhere. life changing. just wow. no words. gotta download this app. no excuses.
