Ratings and reviews

Without a doubt the absolute worst app I've ever used. This is a nightmare for beginners to use when they're looking for the audio files to books they already own. There is no option for English, and the search feature is completely broken. Type anything into the search field, anything at all, and you get zero results every time. The devs should commit ritual suicide for this travesty!

One of my favourite things is to listen to Japanese voice actors, so this (especially the novels) is heaven to me. A monthly membership is required to listen to the free (聞き放題) books and podcasts. Not every book on the market is here, especially not for learning Japanese (this app is for Japanese speakers to enjoy Japanese book, and is not for Japanese education purpose), but there are many. They also release payed books for free for a limited time once in a while, as well as sales.

As a beginner in learning Japanese, I find this app to be too advanced for me. Initially, I had hoped that it would assist me in understanding the language to some extent. However, since there is no English translation or dub available, I'm having difficulty comprehending most of it.
