Top Pcmac Reviews

Be careful! They take your $100 and won’t refund

By Scott R H (Pcmac user)

I thought I’d give this 7 day free period a go and see why it was about. I unfortunately had to leave town and got busy that week and didn’t get a chance to really look into it. I had it scheduled in my diary that day to cancel the renewal but arrived home a few hours too late it seems. As soon as the week expired I got charged $100 and put on an annual plan. No more than 2 hours after this happened, I contacted this app and asked for a refund as I simply hadn’t seen that I’d be signed up for a $100 annual plan if I missed the cancel date. Most of these kinds of apps are monthly at worst and I would have swallowed the monthly fee If I’d missed the cancel date. They told me that they couldn’t do anything and suggested I try iTunes. I’ve contacted iTunes 3 times now and have not had one real response other than an auto response stating it’s not available for refund. I’m furious as I simply can’t afford it right now and you should always have a window after payment for something that as it’s simply a use as you go type of arrangement. Now I don’t even want to use it because it’s left such a bad taste in my mouth. If it’s such a great product, then they shouldn’t have to prey on those that forget to cancel their trial on time to then charge them $100. Pretty unhappy.
One slight problem might keep me from staying

By small hobbit (Pcmac user)

Edit: also, the people they have summarizing the books have a problem with keeping their own personal opinions out of the summary, which begs the question as to what else they might be adding or removing to these. I’ve changed my review to 1 star due to this because I’d really rather just read the actual book and know the author’s actual thoughts than be preached to by a second-hand source. I decided to try this since I’ve been hearing about it everywhere right now. Unfortunately, I don’t have the money for a subscription right now so I’ll have to make due with the one free that’s unlocked daily. The only problem I have is that if you add the daily free blink to your library under a free account there’s no way to delete it the next day because it goes back to being just another premium locked into your library. This makes it really hard to want to stay with this service if you can’t remove things after a lapsed payment since these short form “blinks” could really start to clutter up after awhile. Having a delete option, even if the blink is currently locked due to no being a subscriber, would be a nice improvement. Without it, I’m not actually sure I will continue using this, or even suggest that others use this service.
Really. Darn. Good.

By mikechase3 (Pcmac user)

This is really one of the few apps that really gets things right. Sure, $15/month is expensive for subscription services these days, but if you subscribe for a year, it’s <$9/month. And for that, you get access to a ton of knowledge put together by professional notetakers who do a great job skipping the bs without making the reading dry or not worth reading. And I’m exaggerating, they’re not notes either, it’s a short version of the book with only the important parts that make you sound smart in cocktail parties... oh and real life too. What I love most about this is that you can easily take notes on the notes. Like... you can sync it up with your Evernote account and they beautifully manage your notes. You can also send content directly to your kindle which I particularity enjoy reading on. My only complaint is that highlighting isn’t as easy on the iPad app as the kindle app. You have to select the text first and then click “highlight” whereas in the kindle app you put your finger down for a sec before sliding your finger over text. Though now that I think about it both are two step processes. If it’s possible to make highlighting easier... do it. I love highlighting. Thanks a lot guys. You did a darn good job with this one and you got me to subscribe on the first day without cancelling.
The best app I've ever downloaded

By GlazeyNCrazey (Pcmac user)

I've had this app for just a few weeks. In that time I've read nearly 40 blinks, and I can tell you without a doubt it is THE BEST MONEY I HAVE EVER SPENT!!!!! I've learned numerous amounts of information in various different subjects: science, psychology, self help/ improvement, and read the biographies of countless individuals. I truly feel in these last few weeks I've become wiser and learned more about the world than I probably have in the last 2 years (I'm an 18 year old college undergrad just for context). It's changed the way I approach my life too. I feel more secure, happy, and go about life with a much more positive and confident attitude. I reflect on myself more, actively seeking new experiences and love meeting new people. It's just made me so happy in life. Endless thanks to all the people who made this app. It's the best thing I've ever paid for!!!
