I love books and I still read paper books but Audible makes it possible to "read" while I'm walking, doing housework, riding the bus, etc. There's a huge selection and almost all of the narrators are wonderful. You can listen to a sample before you buy to make sure you like the voice. Only one small negative: I miss the "This is Audible" podcast. It had samples and reviews and introduced me to some great books I might never have tried otherwise. Please consider bringing it back!

Listening to books makes them come alive!!! I was hesitant at first because nothing beats holding a physical book and turning the pages... HOWEVER listening to books is not only convenient (for traveling, driving, etc.) but it's also far more engaging to have a book read to you. Everytime I get so lost in the story that I end up listening to an entire book in one day! Audible also does a great job of making a user friendly app with good prices. 10/10 reccomend :)

María Fernanda Mejía Salazar

Lovely to be able to listen to Esther Perel! The app in general is very good and easy to use. It may still benefit from a better menu (where to find my library, easier way to find what is in my list after buying it, less need to click several buttons after each buy, etc). Also, when downloaded into my laptop, it does not have the option of rewinding for 10 seconds (which is a nice feature in the cell phone app).

Daniel Sparing

I got addicted very quickly. Now if a book on my list has an audio version then I listen to it while cycling, taking transit or cooking (so it feels that it takes zero time) and I use Kindle only for other books or to look up concrete things. Whispersync (the feature to sync Kindle books with Audible) is great too, and it is a small but important thing that you can play, pause, jump back from the lock screen. I wish chapter titles were supported instead of just numbers (where applicable).

Emerald Isle TorKilsen

I really benefit from this app. I like it a lot. My 2 requests would be... 1. a follow along text so if i want to pause & take notes I don't have to keep rewinding. It's a shame to have to spend money twice to get the same book. 2. Chapters labelled as is in actual book for review and study purposes. I'd love to know if anyone else likes these ideas.

Korey Isham

This service is unbelievable. I have always been a paper book purist that loves the sounds and feelings of turning a page into the next great adventure. But this service has converted me to buying audio books because I can take them absolutely anywhere with out the hassle of carrying a really heavy book around. I would recommend this service to anyone. You get a free book every month of your choice, the prices are very reasonable and the way it works conquers all others. Definitely subscribe!!!!

Brilliant app! Has everything I've ever looked up so far and if I am SLEEPY zzzz, it's my 'go-to app'!!! Helps to avoid eye strain. I actually use this app everyday - especially in bed at night. It's really quite comforting to be read to as an adult. Love it and recommend it for sure. ☺

Keegan Seale July 7, 2017

Outstanding! I used to read on the bus to and from work and I haven't really read more than a handful of books since I got a vehicle: I'm too busy!!! This solves that problem and then some! Such wonderful narration! 4/5 stars just because many titles on my wish list are not yet available.

Audible, Inc July 7, 2017

Hi Keegan, Please feel free to send requests in for the missing audiobooks to content-requests@audible.com ^DB

Sue Jeram July 23, 2017

So impressed with this. Never thought I'd enjoy listening to books as I am an avid reader and was worried a narrator would influence my vision of the book. So far no problems, though I am trying everything via the samples to make sure I can spend so much time listening to the narrators voice. Only had one book I'm not sure I can listen to so far

Derek Lafferty July 15, 2017

Update2: Still terrible. Audible, you make it so hard for me to give you money with your horrible store. Update: AUDIBLE, PLEASE FIX YOUR AWFUL IN-APP STORE. SERIOSULY. IT WAS PERFECT BEFORE. NOW IT'S USELESS. Visual design update is horrible! Makes everything all blocky and chunky, used to be able to see so much. It's painful and frustrating to use now. Guess I won't be buying any more books

Elizabeth S. Contreras July 23, 2017

Love this app and really appreciate that it's available. I have always loved reading books but now that I have a terminal condition I have trouble reading as much as I used to. With this app I am able to choose awesome books and close my eyes as I hear the app read the books to me. I love the fact I can use it both on my android phone and IPAD. I seriously recommend this service to anyone who may want to listen to a good book. Try it! 😉

amazing stuff June 29, 2017

Ridiculous and looted me I subscribed for a free trial version and at the time of subscription they got my credit card details saying that the paid subscription will only be after my consent I uninstall the app also requested to unsubsribe me but they charged 1000Rs from my saved card automatically without my consent. I want my money back. Hey app Provider please please please give me my precious money back I don't need your app.

Audible, Inc June 30, 2017

We'll be happy to look into providing you with a refund. Please submit your request to social-support@audible.com so we can find your account in our system. ^WW

I love it, especially how you can still listen offline and once you've purchased a book, you only have to download it once and it's their across all your devices. I found any book I wanted. I'm a big reader that thought nothing can beat the physical feel of a book in your hands, but this changed me. I think the prices are reasonable seeing how someone had to sit there and narrate for 16 hrs. How much would you pay for someone to read to you while you're doing housework, or walking to work? More than $15 in my case. Love it.

Mike Kloppel July 2, 2017

I have over 200 audio books, every single one is on audible and i am perfectly comfortable with that. The only thing missing is a multiple bookmark function. Especially one with a share function other users can access and which notes can optionally be added to. Would be perfect for a book like "Atlas Shrugged".

charlie glackin July 19, 2017

I listen to books while I drive. Every audio app I ever owned knows how to work well with google maps, but this one just keeps talking while google maps is giving directions. Because of this I have to constantly rewind to hear what I missed. Sometimes this happens 10 times in a row while I'm trying to get of a dangerous exit. Its unbelievable that they don't have a remedy for this. I'll give them five stars if they fix this. I literally got off the highway right now just to give them a bad review. That is how annoying this over site is.

Bill Shannon July 15, 2017

Listening to books on the app is great. I do wish you could return books on it if necessary. And if you hit the Back button while searching the library, you have to start over. Also, c'mon, let us download the free books (maybe with a expiration date) so we don't have to chew up all our data.

Allan Casajeros July 3, 2017

A revolutionary addicting app that will change how people read books. I am reluctant at first to subscribe but after listening to few books i am hooked right away. I love the "return book" option for members and how you can download another book in exchange for it. This is really amazing and admin are responsive to queries and is always ready to assist. 5 star worthy!!!

Carlos July 4, 2017

I don't like the way audible does business. I had gained 3 total credits on audible after my account became active again automatically because I had put it on hold earlier. Since I wasn't using audible I chose to cancel my account and I lost the credits. I think they way the do business is terrible I don't see you shouldn't be able to keep something you were charged for. I hate shady business practices but this is one of them by audible.

Pecker Palace July 13, 2017

Having to use a computer to remove books I've read is a hassle. Also, the way books are suggested isn't great either. Same books over and over again. People know what the "best selling" books are. We know the main popular authors. Best selling over the month, past 3 months, being able to click "not interested/read already" would be much more useful to do from the app. It's time to update! If I can play super technical games, there's no reason for these features to not be in the app! Better rating once the app is updated wirh some good features. and doesn't require a computer (do people even own those anymore) .

Cheyenne Armijo July 21, 2017

I love audible, it has all my favorite books and it even has lectures I can listen to. Also with my free credit I get every month I can get a $40 for free and if I don't like the book I can return it for a full refund. This is honestly the only app I've ever taken the time to rate.

Alison Murphy July 21, 2017

I'm an insominic with a severe case tinnitus and has a lot of problems sleeping. Doctors and booklets recommend masking the noise with other sounds. Found audible for books and now I don't want to ever stop using this app for when I sleep. A comfortable ear buds for sleeping and I now can fall asleep to someone telling me stories to sleep by. My favorite to start with is the bible. Love this app. Love Audible

Greg Boyd July 9, 2017

I enjoy Audible very much and have been a reader/listener for quite some time. I'd appreciate it if Audible would add support for Chromecast. That would be amazing. Also, I find that the app will skip just a half second every now and again. It's annoying.

Danny Binette July 18, 2017

Perfect app if you really have the time to sit down and read a good ol' book. A days work goes faster listening to a Game of Thrones! Only complaint: a single audiobook is pretty expensive.

Headley Thompson July 1, 2017

I use Audible on iOS and Android. The app and service works great on both platforms. One exception due to Android platform is that this app can work with Chromecast Audio via Google Home app. Can't do that on iOS version. It works using Google Home's ability to 'cast' from Android to a Chromecast output device. Great for multi-room audio But no voice control. Recommend.

Jamie Boyer July 7, 2017

I don't have the attention span to sit down and read a book which was a real shame because there are loads off books I want to read, this app is perfect for me, I listen to it while at work, while I'm working out, while I'm cleaning the house and on my way to work, I would recommend this to everyone. Great selection of books, great narrators, absolutely love it.

Nardus van der Vyver July 10, 2017

My car has no Bluetooth so it is not possible to play my audio books while I'm driving as you can not put it directly to a cd. This is a pity giving how much I spend in the car. But other wise, this is brilliant.

Jamie Mckenzie July 11, 2017

I expect any app to be upfront about the cost, and this is absolutely not. Only once you've downloaded the app, signed in and linked the account to Amazon is there any mention of the £7.99 a month cost. I am not prepared to pay that much so my time and effort have been completely wasted.

Stephanie Thurman July 10, 2017

Horrible customer service - I recently noticed that a few books i purchased years ago are missing from my library. I have been a loyal subscriber since 2009 & have over 386 books in my current library - customer service mgr Andres M, says "it's not us, it's you". Don't value me as a customer, I'll find someone who will.

Cadenceof grass July 1, 2017

Clunky search interface and totalitarian subscription. You can't cancel your subscription or place it on hold within the native app settings. The search bar won't remember your previous searches, and when viewing a specific product, the Back button doesn't take you back to search results, but dumps you back at your library, where you'll have to type your full search query again. Oh, and if you cancel, you'll lose all of your stored credits. Ugh.

Kayla Trivett June 30, 2017

Just wonderful, I never had time to read except in the 10 minutes before bed, by then I'm already falling asleep and have to re-read the next night as it didn't retain. Now I can listen to books while travelling, doing the housework, getting ready for work each morning. I'm getting through all the books I've been meaning to read for years in just a couple of months. User friendly and intuitive app and getting the monthly credits are such bargain, and keep your eyes out for the 25% off credits deal too! Would highly recommend!

Kathleen Rizzo July 15, 2017

Great app. I have enjoyed this app. I occasionally find that this app doesn't have a title I am looking for however the choices are plentiful and I'll continue to keep the app. Another thing is I believe you should receive an additional credit when you purchase several titles. Otherwise 2👍 way up!!

Robert Taylor July 3, 2017

This is one of my favorite apps. Very few things will make you smarter in life. In fact, this app will. I have "read" a lot of books with Audible, or more accurately stated, they have been read to me. NY Times digest is a great bonus.

j lee July 9, 2017

Ad for Audible pushing Kaitlyn Jenner's autbio keeps popping up on my charging screen. Fed up with the trans community in my face for no reason. Bruce Jenner takes fem hormones and calls himself a woman and gets an award for Woman of the Year and wrote a book of delusions. Does anyone care or have interest in Bruce Jenner's mental instability? Shame on you Audible. Advertise a book with substance, not one that glorifies BS. You lost yourself a would be customer.

Zap Andersson July 17, 2017

I love my audio books but in android this player is unusable. When playing the phone is sluggish, typing on the keyboard makes letters come out in spurts, sometimes shifted, and battery goes on an express elevator to zero. PLEASE FIX THIS!

tony quigley July 14, 2017

Great idea,but? Your given a feeder book,which is priced reasonably. Only to be hood winked, by the rest of the audio books. I paid £7s for my first book. Semi reasonable? Only then to find that all following audios are between £17 & £25. So I feel as if I've been bentover and slightly violated.

Cookie Monster10 July 15, 2017

This is a really good app. It is great for plane rides and long drives and overall an awesome app. They have a lots of books for a wide range of people. And if you don't like a book that you got you can return it whatever the reason.They will give you the credit or the money that you spent on the book back.

brandon lopez July 17, 2017

The titles to choose from are ok, but you will find a gem once in a while. Also the books are expensive on top of the monthly fee. I been on for a few months but already thinking of cancelling.

Charles Moreton July 14, 2017

Great service to use. Value for money £96 for 12 books, roughly half the price of your physical books if you bought 12 in year. Needs to update the system so you can return books once you have listened to them, not just on the desktop website but on your phone.

Ray Canton June 25, 2017

A few majorly frustrating things with this app. First, it does not support Chromecast. That's pretty inexcusable for an Android media app. It also has intermittent crashing and playback issues on a Nexus 5x. This doesn't seem to change or improve with OS or app upgrades.

Audible, Inc June 25, 2017

Hi Ray, We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing playback and crashing issues. If this happens again, please feel free to email us at social-support@audible.com ^DB

Peter H July 10, 2017

Be Careful! They keep charging you agter you have your max number of credits. The email I recieved led me to believe I could keep my account and credits without being charged. After canceling my account, I loose all credits that I have already paid for.

Audible, Inc July 10, 2017

Hey Peter, we're very sorry to hear about this experience. You're welcome to send an email to social-support@audible.com and we'll be happy to help you. ^WW
