The Black Library Audio App is the ultimate way to experience Black Library’s wide range of audiobooks and audio dramas wherever you are, whenever you want, right on your phone and tablet. Browse the range on your device; buy and download your chosen audio right there into your library, and listen to it in the app.
There are two types of audio adventures available in the app, set across the worlds of Warhammer 40,000, The Horus Heresy and Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

AUDIOBOOKS
With our audiobooks you get to experience the story as it was meant to be heard. Word for word your narrator will read the story to you, straight from the page. Audiobooks are usually full and unabridged versions of novels, novellas or short stories.

AUDIO DRAMAS
With our audio dramas you are immersed in the story. Gunfire, battle cries and music form the backdrop on which actors play out the characters. The narrator links the tale together so all you have to do is listen to the action. Audio Drama’s are uniquely scripted and can range in length between roughly 10 minutes and 2 hours.

LIBRARY
Browse the audiobooks and audio dramas you’ve purchased in the app’s Library.

PLAYER
The app also features an audio player, allowing you to listen to your downloaded audiobooks and audio dramas wherever you are, whenever you want. Never be without your fix of fantastic adventures from the worlds of Warhammer!

Any purchases you make within the app will be available on all your devices on the same platform, so you can read them wherever you go, on whatever device you have to hand.

Ratings and reviews

While the app does give access to many of the great audiodramas and audiobooks, the app itself works horribly. Every time you back out of a book, your filtering options get reset. The option to "hide completed books" never actually works. These and other minor annoyances just get frustrating beyond belief. I hope that they can spend some of their hundreds of millions of dollars to actually make this app work better.

Absolutely garbage, but seemingly the only way to get the best books. Can't download. App will suddenly stop playing if other audio prompted (like Google maps). When audio stops, it clears the "now playing screen," and you have to go find your book again (I have a large selection). It doesn't have great filtering options in the store. Several more enhancements can be made for an app that's been around for almost a decade.

Edit 6/15: It doesn't even play paid content correctly. Just started to play the same chapter twice, with a several-second delay on each track. No options for Support in the app, of course. Pauses playback anytime your phone received a notification. Back/forwards skips entire chapters rather than small chunks like every other audiobook app does. Will drop the book you're listening to if you open another app (like GPS). No longer has 99¢ sales, only grossly inflated GW pricing

What's new

The Tech-Priests have been hard at working smiting bugs and praying for the Omnissiah to enhance the performance of the app.
