“And together they flew.” -Bookburners

Through XE Sands’ measured tone, Max Gladstone’s world truly came to life. You feel as though you could walk down the street and recognize these characters.
Doesn’t allow keychain login

I was unable to use Apple’s keychain password manager to sign in, so unfortunately I could not even sign in to see how the app worked. I won’t be using this until it has that capability.
Easy to use, great stories

I travel for work, and when podcasts get kind of irritating (and much of the time, even before), I turn to Serial Box for entertainment. Is this high-caliber fantastic writing? Well, no, but the stories are fun. I first listened and read through Alternis, a fun romp for anyone who has played a MMORPG. I'm anxiously awaiting the Orphan Black serial, which is how I became aware of SB in the first place. My first piece of feedback is that there should be a button to download the audio of the whole season at a time. I sent that via Facebook, and the response assured me that it's coming in an update soon. My second feedback is that I would love a way to read and listen to the audio at the same time. Not bothersome enough to deduct any stars, though! Thanks for the great app and content!
Addictive page-turning fiction

I’ve used Serial Box since some of their earliest series (The Witch Who Came In From The Cold, Whitehall) and they keep turning out cracking good stories. It’s become a solid addition to my regular reading.
Great app, with one problem.

The app works great, the content is good and reasonably priced. One thing drives me crazy though, when publishers lock the screen rotation. I like to have my iPad on a stand in landscape mode, so I can charge it while listening. With the rotation locked my screen is either laying on its side or I have to put my iPad upside down in letter mode and the screen is then upside down. Neither one is a great option.
Love it!

The Serial Box series are so well done, I have a hard time not just listening to/reading a series all at once! I originally found Serial Box through the new Orphan Black series but after getting caught up on the few episodes that are available I went through the other series that Serial Box has done. I LOVED Bookburners, the narrator did an incredible job and the stories in each season really hook you in. I listened to all of the episodes way too fast but enjoyed every second of it. I am excited to explore other titles, I have a good feeling I’ll find another great one soon enough!
Awesome app - would make one change

Love this app because it has my favorite tv show now as a serial story. I just wish you could read AND listen at the same time. Sometimes, I’d like to do that. Other than that, great stories.
Problems reading Orphan Black since updating 10/1

10/10/19- Reading Ch. 4 today, and it looks like parts of pages are being cut off. I tried to send the chapter to Kindle to read but got an error. Very disappointed. Was working fine up until this update. PLEASE fix ASAP. 10/10/19- it seems to be working ok now after closing the app and coming back a few hours later. There was something on the bottom of the screen that was covering part of the screen but it’s gone now.
The stories are excellent, the app needs TLC

I'm really enjoying the series Ninth Step Station in particular. My main complaint, however, isn't about the narratives but the app itself. It crashes quite a lot and I find it baffling you can't both listen and read to stuff.
