Horrible rip off
Why should they cost so much? So greedy it's horrible. Popular Audio book apps have massive libraries of best selling books for far far less per month than these do for one book. There's so many young people who are into this hobby and you're really missing an opportunity to actually get kids into reading. I'm an adult and I can't afford to read or listen to these books. I'm a teacher and I know that some of my students liked reading A book but can't afford to continue reading them because of the price. Wow.

Can't link with BL account
If you've purchased Black Library titles in the past, you can't play them here, not can you play titles purchased in-app on a pc
Not much use as is...
I totally endorse previous comments. Is this an 'agile' app, released pending future improvement based on users identifying their requirements? I've never been fond of early phase betas sold as something wonderful...
No use to me as I'm unable to link with my BL account and my audiobooks there.

Does not work
Dreadful application. Does not show purchases and does not connect purchases made by any other mean than the application itself. A cheap, tatty gimmick. Save your time and memory space.
BL App
Why is this so expensive in comparison to other channels when one is buying the same content that is available elsewhere? One would imagine that they would want to discount to encourage people to use this app, but when the cost is anywhere from ยฃ5 to ยฃ15 more expensive, all that would happen is that fans would be left with a pretty bitter taste from dealing directly with the publisher. Very odd.

No access to existing account
Although this app seems like a good idea the fact that you can't sign in with an existing account makes it pretty much useless as you can't access items you've previously purchased
Conveniently inconvenient
I have to start off by saying I love Black Library and the media they produce. And I have to say it's great to have so much that they have created in the audio format quickly available at your fingertips.
Here is the problem, the audiobooks are formatted just like the books to have multiple tracks to correspond with chapters, but they don't work. Tracks are listed to have a run time of 0 seconds and you're stuck listing to a "prologue" track that goes on for for 8 solid hours.
If you happen to lose your place you are in a bind. Since the tracks don't work you have to start back at the beginning and press the fast forward button, which only moves 30 seconds at a time btw, until you catch back up to where you were.
When this app first came out I didn't have this problem, so far I've had 6 books with this problem. I hope it gets fixed soon.

Good idea, poor implementation.
To make listening easier the books have chapters. However 2 of the books (of 3) do not have chapters, so when you close the app it loses its place, so you must skip forward 30 seconds at a time till you reach roughly where you were. On a 13 hour book this is tiresome.
However been told it is resolved several times now and still nothing.
They are not very responsive with repairs where required.

It's pretty awesome
I really like it, for what it is I enjoy what it has to offer no other app I have found gives you access to such great stories. some flaws like skipping to other chapters or if you buy bulk you can't skip to other books but I really enjoy it non the less! Great app
Need to be able to link accounts
could be great but why cant you link your black library account
