Reviews: What People Think About Shortform Daily Book Summaries

Rating: 5/5
I cannot say enough great things about this app!!! The summaries and the way they tie the summaries in with other authors on similar subjects - or on subjects that compliment the one you’re currently reading - soooo incredible!
I use this app to help me coach my clients on mindset and self-development tools…the fact that I can simultaneously receive information from other authors on a topic is just incredible. Saves me so much time in reading countless books too :)
I love to read, but I would never have the time to read enough to gain the same valuable information I gain in just one book summary from this app.
Zero glitches, customer service is incredible, books load up quickly…I am thoroughly impressed!!!!!

This app needs a major overhaul. It’s hurting their business. It’s buggy, crashes, and features just stop working. Ex: I clicked the “skip ahead” button while listening to audio and the screen turned from light mode to dark mode while the audio was unchanged. Sometimes the audio stops after you lock your screen, sometimes it doesn’t.
As far as the design, the default screen has a search box but it only searches content you’ve already put in your library. It should search for new books/articles by default. That’s what people are most likely to look for. The audio playback is a mess. I can’t scrub the timeline. The skip back/ahead buttons don’t tell me by how much or let me adjust the time interval. I can’t view a list of chapters and move between them from the audio controls. I have to back out of them. Clicking the next chapter/previous chapter buttons yield unpredictable results.
The app needs a lot of work.

I would love this app if they would fix one main issue that is keeping me from subscribing…
My gripe… that wherever you are in the app, if you tap for more details, when you go back, you are always taken back to the top of the screen!!! For example, say you are looking at the books tab, scrolling down to find some new books to add to your library. You’ve gone past 30-40 books and found one you are interested in, so you tap it to see more details… when you go back… boom, back at the top of the screen. Now you must scroll back down, find where you were, and then continue. Wha a PITA!
This is such an annoyance that I can barely use this app!
This behavior happen throughout the app. I know this can be fixed, since similar apps don’t behave this way.
Fix this, and I will most likely subscribe. Only thing holding me back is the extremely high asking price! It is double of Blinkist, which is the all around best app for book summaries! It is super polished, has a vast library, and never crashes.
Shortform looks to have very detailed summaries which I am interested in, but again, that stupid app behavior of always jumping you to the top of the screen after every tap for details is a definite no go for me.
Here’s hoping the dev will fix this, plus possibly consider lowering the price of admission to get more subscribers.
