Questions

What is the spoiler shield?

Every comment, review and AI answer is tied to a chapter. You see only what’s up to where you are in the book. Everything later stays hidden until you get there.

Are the narrators human or AI?

Both. Each book says which, and you can filter by it.

Which languages?

The app is in English and Ukrainian, and you can switch any time. Books come in many languages.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Downloaded books play with no connection.

Can kids use it?

Yes, in learning mode. It has the school reading list and quizzes, no social features or purchases, and a parent link.
