Thought it was good to begin with, got bored very quickly. However it turned out id signed up for a 3 month contract with autorenewal. Realising it would auto renew soon and i hadn't used it for months, i went into the app and selected cancel my contract, but they took the money anyway. I raised it as a complaint, the response was some bs about having signed up via the website and not having completed all the steps to cancel (what, besides selecting cancel my contract?), and refused to refund.

I feel completely scammed and duped by this app. I was led down the garden path by a quiz on social media, I never usually do those things, but it seemed like it was advertising a course on better parenting. Only after getting the app did I realise that was not the case at all, it was just book summaries. It was also then very difficult to cancel the subscription. complete scam.

the content is wonderful but they have incessant pop-ups which if you accidentally press them automatically charge you for something you have no idea what it is, and no way to easily contact anyone regarding this for refunds. that is not to say that the costs aren't clear they just pop up under your thumb and very easy to accidentally press with no chance to confirm if you actually want this order.
