I used the trial and didn’t find the content as useful. Unfortunately it seems I had not discontinued the trial and had forgotten the email address used(giving benefit of the doubt here. Though none of my emails worked for them). I sent an email to them stating that I was not sure what account was being charged. I sent my bank statement(at their request) too to show the charge. No response after.
Not sure what I paid for, where are the learning materials?!?
I didn’t really enjoy using this app. I have canceled my subscription multiple times and they still deduct payment from my account. I don’t what else I should they would stop!!!
Cancelled subscription in May and they are still trying to take money. Cancelled my debit card got a new and they got the new number somehow and still tried to take more money! I’m on my Third new debit card since May!! It’s August!!
Few minutes a day on the way to work
It’s a really great app for micro learning. Really well engineered, thought and executed. The catalog keeps growing every few days and the titles are put into relevant categories and plans for maximum success and coherence in one’s learning. There was a feature that was removed, unfortunately, which I really liked that consisted in having the plans as a visual map connecting and clustering plans according to their respective subjects.
Honestly couldn’t get into it with the robotic AI narration. Might as well have had TikTok’s auto voiceover reading thing. Updating to one more power star as was charged a day early for a subscription renewal (I clearly didn’t cancel the cheap 3-month subscription) and there was no notice the subscription was about to renew and I’ve received no receipt for the money they took, even though the receipt was automatic when I purchased the $5 trial.
This app is difficult to understand how it can be beneficial. It gives me a few articles to read on a topic I say I am interested in. The articles are basically a preview to a book. Once I read them I can buy the book or go onto the next introductory to the next book.
I just read the reviews oh my God so many people cannot be all wrong. My God I’m out. Didn’t even try. I’m out..

Zore was so helpful in getting a question I had about my subscription answer. It was sorted easily and quickly via email. Thank you!
I subscribe through their web and there is no place for unsubscribe, finally after they charge me 80$ for 3 months for the second time, I emailed and asked to cancel it . Then they cancelled it .. I think they did it purposely so people can’t cancel it through website
