Do not get!!! Scam and Rip Off

I’m a massive fan of the Warhammer series, HH and 40k. I collected almost half the hard copy books and because life gets in the way sometimes I have unfortunately no time to lay down and have a read. I am constantly on the road however travelling for work and I found it great that audio books are now available for almost all the series!!! I installed this app and purchased over 8 audiobooks costing $48 each and out of the blue the app refused to download my purchased books from the cloud, therefore unabling me to have access to the audiobooks I gave bought. It was working great and as I purchased two new books, it started to stop downloading onto the device.

I have followed all the “frequently asked questions” solutions on black library website with no avail. I am very disappointed and heartbroken as I feel like I have been robbed and there is no possible way to get what I purchased outside of the app. They have given me no solution or any help so SAVE YOURSELVES and do NOT install this app to get the audiobooks. It is a SCAM and I hope they can give me my money back!!!

When it works it’s great!

Simply put this app is great when it works, it’s constantly plagued by bugs/issues. Think you’ll shoot them a quick email hoping for a response... think again they have the worst customer service which is surprising since Games Workshop’s normal customer service team is phenomenal.

Fantastic

There is only one draw back and that is the audio books are bloody expensive but when you imagine having to talk in dialogue, perfectly in character for 9 hours, £30 isn’t really that much.

Black library/Gamesworkshop

Seriously over priced gw people are not gonna pay £26 per audio book you need to bring prices way way down.

Adore the product, the vessal not so much

I adore the black library and Warhammer in general but this app is not the best way to experience it this moment. First and foremost Is no sleep timer! I like to listen to audio books as bed time stories (yes even with the brutal nature of Warhammer, makes it more fun) but without a sleep timer that Is impossible for me. Secondly I was also having some slight problems with it not keeping place or chapters being wonky.

Please add a sleep timer and smash some bugs and I'll gladly rereview

In the meantime unless the book is 99¢ I'll be using audible.

Great books, Bad App

I really enjoy the books they put out but I notice if you stop listening and return later that the app doesn’t pick back off where you left off. It defaults back to the very beginning, it’s very frustrating scrubbing through the chapters trying to find where you left off. This makes it a one star review otherwise I would have rated it higher. Also books seem to be over priced $35 for a 6hr book is not competing with the pricing audible by amazon or other chains.

Skinny

Would be good if book didn’t start from the beginning every time I opened the app.

Terrible app

I have bought loads of ebooks and audio books from Black Library in the past. You'd expect to login to your BL account and listen to them with this app, right? Wrong.

Dunno what GW are spending all their profits on but it ain't apps.

Convenient

A friend of mine got me into the lore of 40K, and this place fuels the flames of intrigue. I love that y’all keep these stories in one convenient app, helps to keep track of everything. All it needs now is a notification option for when the deals pop up.

Ridiculously expensive!!

Just a total rip off don’t download this app it’s pointless! Games work shop / Black library are just greedy £30 for one audio book is ludicrous!
