Complete scam. I tried to install the app but the app never installed properly and wouldn't even open. I didn't think anything of it until I was charged $42 for a 3 month subscription. Went online to cancel and was magically offered a year subscription for the low cost of 14.99. What they don't tell you until you click accept is that it's after the current billing cycle so in summary I paid over $42 for an app that I've never once opened. Steer clear of these scammers

I like all the summaries they have but when the voice tells me I have reached key points in the middle of what ia m listening to is very frustrating and focus breaking. there should be and option to turn that off. I think I won't be using this app til it get changed. unfortunate decision on there part to interrupt people while they are trying to focus.

I tried this app for one month and decided that I wasn't using it enkugh, thus the day before my subscription was to renew, at a more expensive price, I canceled it. The next day I got a charge for the month. I emailed them immediately and requested a refund. 2 days later I got a reply stating that I did not cancel my subscription and they would not be refunding me. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE . I undoubtedly canceled my subscription through the app prior to the renewal. Stay away.

We are sorry to hear that. We can only bill for offers that users opt in for. Subscriptions are renewed automatically at the end of each billing cycle. To avoid future charges, subscriptions should be canceled at least 24 hours before the next renewal. To request a refund, please use the link: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637
