User Reviews

Users praise BOTM for strong book selection and ease of use, but frequently cite flaky audiobooks and updated UI/navigation as major annoyances, along with confusing credits/billing policies. Top positives: book variety, usability, skip credits, and value. Top negatives: unreliable audio, degraded navigation after updates, and credit rules are confusing.
Pros
  • Excellent book selection and discovery of unfamiliar authors, with consistent monthly options.
  • Well-organized, easy-to-use app that makes browsing and choosing a book simple.
  • Flexible credits system: you can skip a month and keep your credit.
  • Good value for the price, especially for hardbacks and deals compared to retail stores.
Cons
  • Audiobook playback issues: it often doesn’t remember your place, restarts, and lacks reliable scrubbing; CarPlay support is missing.
  • UI/navigation changes after updates hinder exploration of books and add-ons.
  • Credits policy causing surprises: credits can expire and skipping can still incur charges or aren’t clearly communicated.
  • App stability glitches, such as blank white screens or other loading problems.

Pandering more and more to romance which folks have been arguing about online for years - but now they are not only selling out of any book worth reading, they just (10 full days after I placed, was approved, and paid for my order) told me that an order I placed the MOMENT the books dropped on 09-01 was in error, and they were actually SOLD OUT of the books I ordered due to a “glitch” lol If I want to have trash customer service I can order from Amazon. No thank you.

I chose the option of three months for cheaper. It’s been 4 months now of paying and I’m trying to cancel. It keeps telling me I have to pay for another month first. I only agreed to 3. I’ve paid for 4. Now I’m being forced to pay for a 5th. Just beware that if you choose a deal and try to cancel it is basically impossible. Will try again in a month.
