Shortform Daily Book Summaries

The service is very good but soo expensive. 3 times as expensive than Blinkist.

I would strongly recommend this app to anyone who seeks out dilligently extracted book summaries and the company behind it submits new books almost every single day. And for the record, I believe that it provides summaries better than others (Note, that there are two types of them : one-page summary although longer than 1 page which is a good thing, and there are some books with more than 1-page-summary. The books with longer summaries are the best) Conversely, there’s been a year since we saw an update which makes me believe that those guys stopped developing and fixing the app and only focused on new content. There are many fundamental bugs that need to be addressed there and there.

2900lerde bir rakam veriyor yıllık fiyata. Aylık 200 lirayı geçiyor. Blinkist yıllık 600lerde bir fiyattan bahsediyor. Sizce hangisini seçmeliyim?

1. When reviewing the highlight pages it would be better for them to be listed in order of where they appear in the book - the first highlight should be from page 1, the second from page 2, etc., rather than in order of the date you made the highlight. 2. When I’m on the highlight summary page and click “goto highlight” it does not take me to the highlight. What am I doing wrong?

Good product. I reluctantly purchased after signing up for a free trial and immediately canceling so I would not forget and get charged, only to find out my free trial was cancelled too. I messaged support and they said to get a second trial with a different email address. When I purchased I signed up with a promo code and was billed for that amount + the full amount without the promo. They said they would refund the difference. Love the summaries, disgusted by the company. Would not recommend. Find any excuse you can to not put your credit card number in.

The very first summary I tried, Eichmann in Jerusalem, was laughably bad. First off, the AI generated voice actor pronounced Eichmann “eech-men.” They literally did not do one single quality pass before publishing this monstrosity. And I’m suspicious that the content itself is AI generated. How else can you explain the inclusion, in the first 3 minutes of audio, of former Iranian president Ahmadinejad’s Holocaust denying propaganda claims that Zionist Jews were equally responsible for the Holocaust? Hannah Arendt is rolling in her grave and Shortform ought to be ashamed of itself.

They have not gotten back to me so I had to file. I will update here accordingly.

I signed up for monthly and was charged $197 for an annual membership. I sent two emails through the app (no phone #) and never received a response. So, I cancelled my membership all together and will dispute the charge with my bank. Disappointing there is zero customer service to assist with these issues.
