This app cannot connect to the server. Throws SSL error.

I want to love this. I see lots of great titles about topics that interest me. But… I get a message that says “The certificate for this server is invalid” when I try to open the app. Today is the last day of my free trial and I haven’t been able to use the app at all, so I cancelled. :( Would love a second chance at the free trial if the app access can be fixed.

Perfect bite sized book sumaries. I'm a hard-core Audible user, but Athena is much more reasonably priced. highly recommend giving it a try if you like Audible or podcasts.

Great app to get caught up on all the books you wish you could read. The book summaries are well written and give you the main points of the book. I’m enjoying building my knowledge and learning new things. I started with the free trial and after that have upgraded to the annual Library Pass. It's a great value for the price given how many books I can read.

Love this app! Makes reading much easier!!

Athena gives you the perfect feel for a book so you can decide to purchase or not. Reminds me Spark notes, but in app form!

Great app to motivate you in the morning and help you wind down at night. Kinda like a cross between Coursera and Audible, but easier to use.

Athena offers the key insights from great books. It's super easy to use, reasonably priced, and has a growing library. I like being able to read along while simultaneously listening to the audiobook. It also lets me write my own takeaway that I can share with my friends and then revisit to help me remember my favorite parts. Super useful app!

I am a school counselor and always looking for tools to help my students and me. I found Athena browsing education apps and have found lots of good material on ADHD, depression, stress, anxiety, and other mental health conditions.
