User Reviews

Users love Chirp’s no-subscription model, discounts, and Friday freebies, but reliability and usability issues are common: crashes, broken chapter navigation, stalled downloads, and unreliable playback hinder the experience despite strong value.

Pros

No subscription model; you own the audiobooks you buy, with frequent discounts.
Frequent sales and Friday freebies offer great value.
Wide catalog including indie authors, with affordable options.
Easy-to-use interface and straightforward buying process.
Strong price/value proposition compared to subscription services.

Cons

App often fails to open or crashes after updates.
Chapter navigation/visibility is broken (chapter list not visible; hard to access chapters).
Downloads can stall (pending downloads) and purchased books may not play.
Playback controls are unreliable (pause on lock screen or CarPlay may not work; auto-starts unexpectedly).
Customer support is slow or unhelpful, with reliance on generic fixes and poor handling of payment-related issues.

Can’t do without my audiobooks when doing my walking and Chirp makes it afforable too! And now that my car connects via CarPlay I get even more listening time!

With the new update, the app not only didn’t add more functionality, it added unnecessary layers to achieve what used to be done in one place. In addition, the first screen I see when I enter the app is useless to me. I don’t care about my progress or achievements, I just want to listen to my books. Take me to my library. Period. I can’t buy books from the app, so focus on what it’s for: LISTENING TO AUDIOBOOKS. Also, I’ve been asking for a while to be able to reverse/fast forward more than 15 seconds at a time, but still it’s the only option. I’m sure I’m not the only person to have this wish… I don’t need bells and whistles, I just need ystraightforward access to my library, and the ability to move through a book efficiently (whether by minutes or chapters.) I shouldn’t have to leave two screens to change chapters. I often think the programmers make things less efficient and less effective so they are paid to “fix” the problem.

A few times one or more of my books will not complete a download to my iPad. The “Download” button under the Save banner shows “ …download pending” but is not active, similar to being greyed out. Frustrating because the normal fixing steps do not work. I discovered a simple fix. Move the book from your library to the “Archive” Option. Then return it back to your library. You should find that the Download button now works and the book download completes. I believe the exchange clears some glitch present it the app. DL
