User Reviews

Black Library Audio app offers exclusive Warhammer 40K audiobooks and dramas in a centralized library, which users appreciate. However, many report significant playback issues: audio pauses on notifications, stops during GPS prompts, and disconnections. Downloads require Wi-Fi, preventing mobile data use, which frustrates travelers. Users also face limited filtering options, app crashes, battery drain, and occasional corrupted downloads. Despite these flaws, fans value its unique content, hoping future updates will improve stability, usability, and flexibility.

Pros

Provides access to a unique collection of Black Library audiobooks and audio dramas not available elsewhere.
Organizes audiobooks and audio dramas well within the app, making it convenient to have a centralized place for the collection.
Generally reliable playback with some users finding the app free from freezing or crashing.
Allows users to purchase and listen to exclusive Warhammer 40K audio content.
Customer support is responsive at least initially, as indicated by one user receiving a reply about an issue.

Cons

App frequently pauses playback when phone notifications arrive, requiring manual resuming.
Playback often stops or disconnects when other apps like Google Maps send audio prompts, disrupting listening experience, especially while driving.
Cannot download content over mobile data; app requires Wi-Fi to download audiobooks, limiting usage when traveling or without Wi-Fi.
Playback can be buggy such as skipping chapters, repeating chapters, or downloads being incomplete or corrupted.
Filtering and sorting options are limited or reset frequently, making navigation difficult, and the 'hide completed books' filter does not work properly.
App drains phone battery excessively even when not actively in use.
No option to upload or transfer previously purchased or downloaded audiobooks, resulting in double purchases for some users.
Cannot resume playback automatically after interruptions and no small skip controls; chapter skipping is coarse and unintuitive.

Doubt I'll use it. Wish I could sync my Audible purchases on the app (later feature?). Can't purchase physical books, only audio (eReader feature?). There's no filters, can't search by faction (typing Eldar/Aeldari produce no results). I do love the description between Audio Books and Audio Dramas. The UI is ok. The app has potential and a TON of room for growth. but currently feels thoughtless. I'm gonna keep giving Audible my money until I see some good updates.
