Review summary

Users praise Audio Books - Spokenpages for a large library, easy setup, and a learning-focused experience that fits multitasking. But reviews repeatedly flag issues: misleading lifetime-free offers or expired promotions tied to AppRaven, unclear or unavailable paywall options, and weak support. UX concerns include hidden search and overall poor navigation. Some users also note a required account to start and a catalog skewed toward classics with few current titles. Together these points show strong positives in content and usability, but serious marketing, access, and discovery problems remain.

Pros

Large library / lots of titles available
Easy setup and clean UI
Focus on learning and knowledge, supports multi-tasking and on-the-go listening
Positive notes about productivity and getting through books faster
Rich library appreciated by long-term users

Cons

Free lifetime offer appears advertised but is misleading or not delivered
Paywall options confusing or lacking a true lifetime access; support contact is hard to find
Hidden search and awkward navigation / poorly constructed app
Requires an account to start
Catalog focuses on classics with few current titles

2025-08-13	So*****	Getting tired of this time-wasting ruse (or oversight), which happens over and over: I find an app on AppRaven that advertises a free lifetime offer. AND the developer says right on the AppStore page “PREMIUM LIFETIME $0.00” (or words to that effect). Yet when I install the app, register an account, etc, there is no such offer. Isn’t this FALSE ADVERTISING? Developers, please quit making these fake offers or I’ll continue giving 1-star reviews — here as well as on AppRaven.

2025-08-12	So*****	So this was offered on app advice for lifetime free but there was some kind of glitch. They fix it today with an update but now the offer is expired. That gets one star and a delete.

2025-08-12	M0*****	So it’s supposed to be lifetime version for free through app advice - which says go to the paywall and then select lifetime version - well it never happens - you can’t pick lifetime version off the paywall. Why? B/c. It only has monthly or yearly. And the link for support just brings you to their website and I don’t see anywhere on there where you can contact them. It doesn’t even give an email address. Complete waste, very disappointed.

2025-08-12	Im*****	This app claims to be “the ultimate audiobook app for learning and knowledge”, but it definitely falls short if you’re interest in novels. It has a grand total of 13 novels, of which only TWO were written in this century. Of the eleven 20th century selections, nine are instantly-recognized classics (to me) with their own Wikipedia pages, and of those, between high school and college, I’d read eight of them. I was looking for an app jam-packed with current fiction, and this just isn’t it.

2025-08-11	Bo*****	The search is hidden. The button to get the app gone free is hidden. This is such a poorly constructed app!! Perhaps the developers can listen to a book to learn how to make a useable app!! The App Store needs to remove this.

2025-07-19	So*****	Forces me to make notes on the books listened too, thanks for that! I like the emphasis on learning, and not just listening

2025-07-08	Al*****	This app has helped me with grasping knowledge and being able to get through books faster. It helps my discipline and I know listen to books when running, when driving or walking somewhere, instead of music on repeat… Over the past couple of years, I’ve learnt a lot from this book collection. Love it!
