Awesome App! My new companion.

As a lifelong learner, StoryShots has completely revolutionized the way I consume books! If like me, you struggle to find enough time to read, this app is what you need. The wide variety of summaries available caters to whatever mood I'm in or whatever activity I'm doing.

My reading experience with the app has been great, with its personalized recommendations and intuitive UI make it easy to find what I want. It's like the app knows exactly what I need—be it highlighting nuggets of wisdom, jotting down my thoughts, or sharing inspiring quotes on social media. The offline reading feature is perfect for my daily commute to the office when cellular coverage is spotty.

Being able to listen to book summaries while commuting, walking or doing everyday tasks has been such a big productivity booster. It feels great learning new things everyday.

I was oin the fence about whether I would find value here, but super glad to have got my lifetime membership. I now have access to insights from a plethora of bestsellers and it feels like I've hit the jackpot of knowledge.

StoryShots has become my daily companion on my journey of growth and self-improvement. It's the tool that anyone with a thirst for knowledge should have in their arsenal. Hats off to Farid and the Team at StoryShots for such a great idea and App!

Good for listening rather than reading books

Story shorts has a decent amount of books available. I can hear short summaries and podcasts and some infographics provided depending on the book.

If you’re looking to hear and read the basics of books instead of reading the entire things since no one has time, this does it.

I love this app!

This app provides 15-20 minute summaries of popular non-fiction (plus a few fiction) books. It is great to be able to grasp the essence of a title during a one-way commute to work. Sometimes, the StoryShots will inspire me to dig deeper and find the complete text. Although the narration voices sound a bit robotic, they are generally pleasant and easy to understand. I highly recommend.
