The home screen of the app is a bloated mess of all kinds of suggestions. I need a very streamlined experience upon opening the app. That way I get to what I want right away. Put all of the suggestions in another tab - not the home tab. The home tab should be straight to the point

Beware their free trial - you will be required to give credit card info (not surprising), but if you decide to cancel and not get the paid subscription, you will not be able to remove your credit card info (BAD). There is a link to cancel the card, but I tried twice and it didn't work. I've sent a chat message to the team in hopes that they will remove it. But that's a bad bug in the system. I also didn't like that I couldn't match the voices I liked with the translation I wanted.

There is no way to try out the app without creating an account. Promotional material highlights that it is free to download. However, it forces you to create an account and set up a free trial which then turns into a paid subscription. Other apps offer limited features for free with no account creation. This app offers nothing without an account, and doesn't appear to have any free option, even a limited offering. I won't create an account, so I never was able to try it.
