I find myself getting hooked to the app.  I&#8217;m a book browser and <strong>StoryShots (SS) supports this habit of finding a particular book in a hurry. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All good books are worth reading but one simply does not have the time.  Yet we need books to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishforums.com\/blog\/5-motivations-for-learning-english\">constantly motivated<\/a> to do better in our workplace. The <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.storyshots.android&amp;hl=en\">StoryShots app gives<\/a> a happy accommodation for those who really want to find that one book over a wide range of available books. <\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Filter StoryShots based on free time <\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the provision of a summary for each book, I can decide whether to get the audio. There are short audio versions that help me know if I want to download the audio of the book. <strong>Focus is one discipline encouraged by this app as it allows selective navigation through the whole book.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> I am excited to get into new categories and new features. I can filter even audio shots based on my free time. I&#8217;ve actually selected 20 books ( the first would be &#8220;The Black Swan&#8221; by Nassim Taleb) and had set up a time for going through them in an organized way.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Share highlights in a blink<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get a load of the improved sharing of custom image quotes to social media. I&#8217;ve always loved the interaction with an audience so that fits well with sharing important highlights of the book as it happens. <strong> Fascinating to have these features for free until you decide to get the premium subscription.<\/strong> Of course, there would be ads and offers in-app.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There might be a problem though with some of the audios as they are not totally by native English speakers. I&#8217;d say adjust and try to appreciate the big effort put in by the writers of the summaries which includes a 1- sentence summary of the whole book, section summaries, etc.  Pretty soon, I&#8217;ll get my friends hooked to this StoryShots app. Let&#8217;s see how this goes. <\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, you can use your <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/storyshots-unlimited-summaries\/id1430885497\">StoryShots ios app<\/a>, too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a book browser and StoryShots supports this habit of finding a particular book in a hurry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":886,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[298],"tags":[135,136,137,138],"class_list":["post-883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","tag-business-books","tag-self-development","tag-self-help-books","tag-storyshots","infinite-scroll-item","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
