User Reviews

The app offers a large, valuable library and generally performs well when active, especially with college access. However, repeated login prompts, stability issues, unreliable playback/streaming, and limited navigation controls are common across multiple reviews, hindering consistent use.
Pros
  • Extensive library/catalog of titles.
  • Solid performance when the app is functioning.
  • College subscriptions provide free access to titles.
Cons
  • Frequent login prompts / sessions expiring.
  • App instability with crashes or shutdowns.
  • Playback/streaming problems including offline playback failures and streaming errors.
  • Limited playback controls (no fast-forward/rewind within sections).

I had to unsubscribe to the service because this app is so bad. The fact that I have to log in every time is slightly annoying, but I wouldn’t mind that so much if it didn’t take forever for a book to load. Sometimes the load screen just freezes completely. I’ve only had this app a few hours and I’ve already had to login multiple times. Sessions should not expire while I’m listening to a book. Such a shame because their library is excellent.

Very inexpensive access to a huge collection of classic books. Totally worth it compared to purchasing them through larger services.

Works great for me. I see a lot of negative reviews here, perhaps they were pre-update?
