"A Time-Saving Gem for Busy Readers"
What do you like best about Summarist?

What I like best about Summarist is how quickly it delivers key takeaways from bestselling non-fiction books. The summaries are concise, well-structured, and make it easy to absorb useful insights without having to read the entire book. It's perfect for getting a high-level understanding of personal development, productivity, and business titles during a commute or quick break. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summarist?

What I dislike about Summarist is that some summaries feel too brief or oversimplified, missing key context or nuance from the original book. Additionally, the library could be expanded—especially in niche categories or newer releases. A better search function and more personalized recommendations would also improve the experience.

"Good tool to get summarized version of the book"
What do you like best about Summarist?

When we do not have much time to read the complete book but want to know the main highlights, then it is helpful to get the summarized version of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summarist?

The summary could benefit from being a bit more detailed. Adding more description would help provide a clearer understanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"What 'Summarist' does?"
What do you like best about Summarist?

It helps me in getting a basic idea about any books I may want to read next, mainly novels. In kind of any subject textbooks, it describes the format of book. It also provides the shopping redirection URL to Amazon shopping platform and an audio book link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summarist?

This is a platform that can help you in getting a basic storyline about any novel or textbook, not a proper gist kind of summary but some basic ideas about books. It may provide the links to any other platforms for the shopping purpose, instead of a single one and the summary can be improved by giving a better gist. Besides this, we need to type exact book name in the search box, which can be used like a search filter instead, so that it pops out possible books when user types few letters in the box.

"If you are a Reader, Summarist got your back"
What do you like best about Summarist?

If you are a bookworm, but don't have huge amount of time to read any particular book, Summarist is there to help. It's easy to use, very user-friendly and to top it off gives the best summary of any book listed on their website. Integrating this website into our life to get to know about books, actually saves a lot of time and effort which could be invested in other work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summarist?

One fact that slightly makes me think before using Summarist is that even though it contains various genres of books, there are still some books that aren't present in their website according to my liking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Summarist | My Honest Thought"
What do you like best about Summarist?

I like Summarist best for its ability to summarize any books with just the title. I love reading books but sometimes it's also a good idea to get the key points of the book quickly. One more thing, it's free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summarist?

What I don't like about Summarist is that there's no button to copy the summary. And if there is a way to save the history, it will be great. I can come back and check my old summaries at any time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pros and cons after going through summarist platform"
What do you like best about Summarist?

This platform is easily accessible as it is free of cost for the user, and user can get the summary of books as per their choice, as it generates the summary based on AI for the partucular book. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summarist?

It is not so good platforms as user may facing the poor user expericence and as it give the summary of the books referenced with AI, so that is not the perfect or suitable remark for the user.

All we need is just human based experienced summary and the summary which is provided by this platform is easily available on google or you can also get that same review from the other AI platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"What Summarist Can Do??"
What do you like best about Summarist?

Firstly, it's free for public use and very convenient for users. Simply, write the proper book title and it generates a brief storyline and key learnings in the case of novels and textbooks, it summarises what kind of content and the format of the book is from inside. It also provides two redirection URLs to either buy the book from Amazon or listen to it on the Audible app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summarist?

It doesn't provide the proper summary of how the story turns out, but just a basic storyline along with the key concepts. And, the buying redirection URLs to buy are limited to a single platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
