I tried for multiple days to get the Black Friday deal and just kept getting the same "error retrieving information from server" message. I emailed customer service 2 weeks ago. since then I've received 7 marketing emails for increasingly more expensive "deals," but no actual response beyond the initial "sorry, we're busy" autoresponse. I've uninstalled the app and will continue with my steady diet of ebooks and audiobooks from my public library.

There's no free version of the app like you said, it's just a free trial , there was absolutely no access to read or listen to anything without the pay subscription.

I love this modern marketing, where the app is free to download, but to use the app properly i have to pay a subscription. This is the case here too. Just a few summaries of books you can read for free

Awesome idea, great execution, just oooonnnne thing
Everything bar one is amazing about this app, the idea of just works amazingly! But, the subscription model. I don't mind needing to pay a 100 something a year, but the lack of options to pay that amount kinda kills it for me. Im happy paying 2.30 a week, but a huge charge of 160 something up front just doesn't work.

Ingenious concept with room for improvement
Brilliant for people with little time, great content. But: written part is often neglected, sometimes contains errors, and above all I miss an important feature in my opinion: the synchronization between writing and audio. See Spotify with lyrics. With this I could easily increase the speed to 1.5 and save additional time. Instead, not even the chapter-by-chapter dubbing works, which is a bit stupid if you like to read along and sometimes lose the thread. The normal price is a bit high, but the Black Friday deals are top 😉

Attention subscription trap - solved
Update 18.12.24 Ticket submitted Subscription cancelled and payment refunded. ———- After a year of subscription, a 12-month extension came at a much higher price without any prior reminder. At the same time, I received an email from the managing director in English, asking me to advertise his product in my company. During the cancellation, there was a pop-up about a Black Friday discount of 80%, which of course did not apply to me.

The app itself is decent on phone but terrible on Android Auto. If you populate a library, whether downloaded or otherwise, the Blinks don't show up. You can only select 'Episodes' or have a random book pushed to you. Ridiculous.
