I've used the app enough to write a review here. The idea is great, execution as well. Love their selection
Pros: A powerful AI for recommendations is replaced by a thorough curation. They've got several titles I've got on my bucket list and feels great to get the most valuable tips on my spare time.
Cons: I'd definitely subscribe on a monthly basis. Yearly subscription feels too much commitment. It feels like you want to rip my wallet apart.
Audiobooks playback needs to improve. On my experience (ios) it wasn't saving where I left it off. That was annoying.
Overall: The development seems pretty active and those Cons might, at some point, vanish from existence. Congrats on the project!
@evertonfraga Thanks for the comment and feedback Everton.
We're working very very hard to make the user experience a lot better, we know we still have a lot to improve. But we're updating 12min weekly, and in every update we improve a little bit.
I believe that problem with the audio player is already fixed ;)

@matheusguerra great to know!
Can I subscribe on a monthly basis?
@evertonfraga Not for now, but we're studying how and when to test that. For now we're offering free and unlimited reading, which means you can read how many microbooks you want per day for free, and the premium account gives you access to the audios.

For whom that have a busy life to someone that have an easy life. Doesn't meter, this app suits everybody well.
Pros:
Simple design. Easy to learn how to use. Great idea.
@lucas_vitor That's awesome to hear, thanks! We love to see people who understand the fact that we're not against books, but the opposite. We actually want people to read even more books, but in a smarter way! :) #keepReading #keepLearning

12min is one of the best apps in Brazil. Not just to read, but to select good content as well.

Think about that book that you want to read, but you don't know if the book is really good or have a important content. Just go to 12min, read the summary of the book and than take your decision to read or not the whole book.
Thanks for the review Márcio, that's awesome to hear! Prioritising the readings is one of our preferred uses :) #keepReading #keepLearning

They always suggest another book related to the one I choose. Which is amazing. Sometimes are books that I wanted to read but I somehow forgot. Love that.
Pros:
I always came out feeling better than I started, feeling that I already started my day right.
Cons:
Sometimes it is a bit more than 12 minutes, but totally worth it.
Thanks for the review Vitor, that's awesome to hear! Some books are really hard to summarise into 12 minutes. Some are very insightful, and some are just too big hahaha :) #keepReading #keepLearning
