I thought I had found a brilliant app that helped me learn and grow without having to read, which I dont have time for, and struggle with due to ADHD. Its been a really useful tool for me. However, I've now realised I am being scammed. Im being charged £70 per MONTH to use an app that summarizes books, which is outrageous. I wouldnt have signed up to it, if it was clear how much it was going to cost me. What I thought I was agreeing to was £40 per year, not £840!!! Shocking mis-sell!

I had no idea I'd started a subscription until I saw £40 leave my bank account! As I've never used this app I immediately contacted customer support, who was able to cancel my subscription for me. However I was initially denied a refund. Upon politely writing back to ask again for a refund, I received half of what I had paid returned to me. Better than nothing, but I really expected a full refund. Disappointed and not impressed. Adam in customer services was polite and prompt and helpful.

App is terrible and traps you into subscriptions you don't even realise you're signing up to. update: I already emailed your support team and told them I hadn't realised I had signed up to the infographic subscription, it seems other people have had this issue as well where it is unclear that you're signing up to something & doesn't give you an option to get out of that screen. i told them I hadn't realised they'd charged me for a couple of months due to a bereavement & got 50% of one month only
