Drive time the best!!!
Eggbie
I love this app!! I get great prices for all books and since I drive frequently to visit my parents this app makes the 8 hour drive fun!! Also makes my work commute exciting instead of sad as morning drivers can be pretty cranky!! I have always lived to read but so hard to find the time now so what could be better than this app!! If I have problems it is either with my phone or cords but none with the app so far and I have used it for at least 2 years!! Thanks for the awesome books!
Great app

I have a long commute and I live listening to audiobooks. This app allows me to download them and listen to them as I go.
Monthly Fee? WTH?

The playback features are very weak and app offers very little control over play modes. Difficult to go back and delays between controls and what you’re hearing. Plus, I unknowingly got hit for a monthly subscription fee but book pricing is only a couple of dollars better than others. Monthly was my fault for not reading fine print but they’re sneaky and I don’t like sneaky (see Luminosity). And you can’t cancel in app, you have to go log in on their website. Sneaky sneaky, make it hard, don’t like that.
Works, needs improvement.

App screen shots show that this app appropriately fills the iPhone X display. The app does not. Looks like it hasn’t been redesigned since the iPhone 4 came out. Still buggy, too. CarPlay support would be a fantastic addition.
Playback is horrendous

The streaming playback routinely loses its spot and then will skip to the next chapter. After I finish the one book I bought through this company, I’m switching to audible. More expensive, but I got this for my drive and I can’t constantly keep looking at my phone trying to figure out how to get back to the spot before it skipped ahead. Maybe playing through the website is more reliable, but there is no forward or rewind feature that I saw.
Disappointed

Non-intuitive interface. Does not save your place in the audiobook. Requires you to enter an email, Which means this is used to scrape personal information. Generally one of the poorest app experiences I’ve ever had. And yes I have the most recent version, and the most up-to-date OS. I was eager to read my sample audiobook, and I’m so frustrated by the app that I’ve just given up even though it’s not available anywhere else.
Took my money!

I got charged for something and I have proof on my card statement and proof from iTunes/apple and I have no idea what was purchased but I clearly do not have a book, audiobook or membership! I want my money returned! I literally do not have anything in my “library”. I will take this to small claims if I have to.
It's fine, with problems

I'm on the Club Pricing plan, and overall this app works. + I like that it's mostly DRM free, so I could put the files into Music or another app, but I prefer to use this one. + Had multiple speedup options for playback (1.25x, 1.5x, etc.). Saves a lot of time. - Ugly, unresponsive web app. Come on, build a native app already. - Still needs an internet connection to play already downloaded books. Makes it useless on an airplane. - Sometimes tracks break at set intervals, not at logical places in the book like chapters or headings. Many times I'll want to go back a couple of minutes and find I can't because we started a new track. You can't back up 30 seconds into the previous track. You have to manually select it from the track list and find your place again.
