User Reviews

Users generally like the app’s integrated reading/listening experience and its user-friendly design, but the app is plagued by reliability and usability issues. Recurring problems include loss of reading progress, missing essential e-reader features, weak library management, no external e-reader export, and overpriced audiobooks. While it shows promise as a unified Warhammer reading app, it needs significant fixes to be worth the price.

Pros

Easy-to-navigate, user-friendly interface.
Seamless integration of ebook and audiobook formats in one app.
Unified purchasing/reading flow bridging website and app.
Added language support / multiple languages.

Cons

Reading progress is not remembered reliably; it often resumes far from where you left off.
Lacks core reading features: no vertical scrolling, limited customization, no dark/night mode, and bookmarking inconsistencies.
Weak library management and discoverability: hard to sort by last read, difficult to filter or locate titles.
No support for exporting to external e-readers (EPUB/Kindle) and external transfer; downloads can be slow.
Audiobook pricing is high with few discounts or subscription options.

It's 2026. This is a terrible app. Honestly, why don't you just spend a day or two with Claude Code and let it write a decent app for you. Just please make it easy to search and filter the black library by things like language, because, and this might shock you, I am not interested in buying Hive in English, French, and German. I really don't need to see all the languages these books are published in. Also, how about sorting books and audiobooks by publication date.
