What to watch out for
This is an iPhone app, so Android and desktop users cannot use it as described, which limits who on a team can join. The free usage tier is limited, and the listed subscription prices are current offers that may change. A summary is a map rather than the territory, so use it to decide what deserves a full read instead of as a replacement for the source material. Spaced repetition only works if you keep up the review habit. Check that the app supports the file type and language you need before you subscribe.
