Your subscription was started through the App Store, so it must also be cancelled in your Apple ID subscription settings - not in the Anyplay app. If you need any help finding it, please contact our support and we’ll be happy to assist. ### 3/5 — Like the idea bad app *2026-03-18, version 1.12.80* I enjoy the service but constantly am dealing with glitches in the app, sometimes I search and nothing shows up …. Even though it’s authors I’ve searched for previously. ### 3/5 — Great start but lacking important functionality *2026-01-14, version 1.12.80* Pros: Great selection and basic functions work Cons: - Searching by book doesn’t return all available options. (Eg. Can’t search for The Three-Body Problem by title but it does exist, listening to it right now) - Searching by author is a great way around this but return results don’t always allow you to scroll through (Eg. searching for V.E. Shwab works and pulls up a list of books, but when you start to scroll that list, it disappears) - Most importantly for me, no bookmark function. If you set a sleep timer, make sure you know where you started from before falling asleep! Overall a great option for audiobooks but a buggy user experience ### 4/5 — % *2025-11-13, version 1.12.80* Perfect app. Just wish there was an option to show what % of book is complete ### 2/5 — Sad *2025-09-02, version 1.12.78* I could forgive the glaring issues if the app was free, but we all pay a good deal of money to use it each month. No bookmark feature for audio books. Search function ONLY works if you put the author in, not the name of the book. App won’t remember place. Chapters are nis labeled. The name won’t even display on the radio, or apple play. Come on app devs, DO BETTER! ### 2/5 — So glitchy *2025-08-08, version 1.12.78* I find that this app has som many glitches and no app support ### 2/5 — Search doesn’t work *2025-06-28* It’s so hard to find the books. Keywords don’t bring up the books. You may find an author using browse but when you search by author name it brings up some of the books, missing out the one found via browse. Frustrating. Then sometimes you find a title, click on play book and it will say not available in your region or withdrawn. If that is the case the book shouldn’t be available for search. This makes for a poor user experience. Forcing me back to Audible. ### 4/5 — Awesome selection *2025-04-17, version 1.12.76* My taste is based on my many moods. Thrillers Romance Horror fantasy Sci-fi to the classics Anyplay’s selection keeps up. With new releases daily. Please for all things bookish please update your search engine. ### 2/5 — So many books not available with a subscription *2025-03-17, version 1.12.74* I beginning to wonder what the point of this app is. Lately 1 out of 10 books I want to read are not available even though I have a subscription! Why need a subscription? ### 2/5 — Any? *2025-03-09* Was really looking forward to trying this app but every book I’ve typed in is not available,and I typed in quite a few..I’m so disappointed 😌 ### 4/5 — Love this App Wish It *2025-03-08, version 1.12.71* Love this subscription and app, my only complaint is that it doesn’t work with CarPlay like every other audio app out there. Developers, can you fix that? ### 4/5 — Plans, great all *2025-02-26, version 1.12.71* What are the differences between all the plans, other than that love the app ### 3/5 — Anyplay *2025-01-26, version 1.12.69* I love the app great variety of books to listen to however I have had some technical issues and have written to the support team on numerous occasions with no response ### 2/5 — Half the books don’t play *2025-01-25, version 1.12.69* When this works, it’s a wonderful resource. But most of the books give an error message and won’t play, which is very frustrating. It also is prone to crashing while searching for a book, and the names of authors often appear multiple times in searches with no accompanying books. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Anyplay *2025-09-04, version 1.12.78* I loved this app & used it religiously, but all of a sudden it’s limited to 2 books , even though the app says unlimited books… I’m sure they are making enough money with subscriptions , for the few of us , that likes to read or listen to more than 2 books per month , to be able to do so . I will definitely be cancelling my subscription. I am so disappointed! ### 1/5 — Was a Great app *2025-07-23, version 1.12.78* This was a great app until recently when it became no longer unlimited and a monthly book limit was introduced. It was not communicated and it is not clear what that limit actually is. ### 1/5 — No customer service support *2025-07-09, version 1.12.78* Says it’s unlimited but monthly stops allowing me to listen with ‘ you’ve reached your limit ‘ flags. You can not call, email or Contact this company for help. ### 1/5 — Selection is too small and often it’s read by a monotonous AI generated voice. *2025-04-29, version 1.12.76* Selection is too small and often it’s read by a monotonous AI generated voice. ### 1/5 — Search says no results for every book *2025-04-06, version 1.12.75* This would be a great app if the search feature actually worked. I search for a book and it says no results even when the book is available in the app. I will be scrolling and find a book I had searched for the search said no results. If I want to read a particular book I have to hope that I find it in my suggested books and can’t just search for it. ### 1/5 — No customer service support *2025-03-17, version 1.12.74* Says it’s unlimited but monthly stops allowing me to listen with ‘ you’ve reached your limit ‘ flags. You can not call, email or Contact this company for help. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2025-03-11, version 1.12.71* Just paid $30 for a month of premium access as I was so limited in what I could listen to.. and so far the app won’t play one book! I have tried contacting through support emails but no response. ### 1/5 — Frustrating! *2025-03-08, version 1.12.71* Back in 2024 I left a raving 5 star review. I’ve used this app for over a year and loved it! But this year it’s been so so frustrating! Back in January I lost access to all the books because the app kept insisting I had no internet connection. Even though I did. I’ve seen others complaint about this issue too in the reviews. Despite multiple emails to the support email I heard nothing from them. It took a few week but then they must have fixed the issue and I was back loving the app. But now, in March, I’m having a similar issue, I can’t play ANY books. The app is pretty much unusable. And I’ve tried over 25 books. I get the same error message and can’t play a single book. The error message I’m getting is ‘Book unavailable. This book has recently been withdrawn by the publisher in your territory’. Which must not be accurate because it’s literally every single book. The only books I can play are ones I’ve previously listened to. I’m paying $150 a year for the use of this app and it’s getting really frustrating with all these issues. And to top it off, the fact that nobody ever reply’s to the support email is so annoying! I just want to report the issue and know someone is working on fixing it! If this isn’t fixed soon I’ll be cancelling my subscription. Which is so disappointing because this app truely is amazing when it works. ### 1/5 — No internet error *2024-12-21, version 1.12.67* App works for a while and then you can’t listen any book anymore because it shows no internet message. ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2024-12-04, version 1.12.67* Crappy crappy I am not able to cancel my subscription and getting no help from them ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-09, version 1.12.94* I listen to books all the time. While driving, doing chores,and while I work on the line. Huge selection of books. Worth the monthly payment to listen to unlimited books. Love this app ### 5/5 — BEST VAUE AUDIOBOOK APP *2026-05-08* This is BY FAR the best value audiobook subscription available. The content is excellent, but the ONLY issue I have is the set speed control. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE update this to graduated control 🙏 **Developer response:** Thanks for your kind words - we appreciate it. And we have added this request to our implementation planning! Thanks again. ### 5/5 — Customer Support *2026-04-20, version 1.12.83* Thank you so much for fixing my issue. Love the app Great customer support ### 5/5 — Jumping chapters *2026-03-25, version 1.12.80* Good day, kindly advise why I cannot jump chapters, I’m currently listening to the Covenant of Water and it keeps going back to chapter one whenever I stop and come back to the book. It’s a long book and it’s getting annoying not being able to jump to whatever chapter that I am currently on. ### 5/5 — Sad *2025-04-23, version 1.12.76* The app is amazing and I used it all the time and had an annual subscription, why have you ended that as an option ### 5/5 — Why did they change it *2025-02-20, version 1.12.71* I used to be able to listen to any book for a reasonable price. Now it costs 3 times more and most of the books i request are not available in my region. This has never happen before. ### 5/5 — Truely unlimited! *2025-01-11, version 1.12.67* I love love love this app! It’s the most affordable way to listen to audiobooks and I really like the selection. I also like that it’s truly unlimited, unlike a similar app that seems to have listen limits. I am an avid reader but can only read audiobooks due to dyslexia, so this app makes it so much more affordable to access books! I recommend it to all my audiobook loving friends. ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2024-12-31, version 1.12.67* I adore this app it has become my favorite! I recently canceled with a competitor of theirs and have paid for a quarterly subscription with Anyplay now. I'm very happy with this app and recommending it to others regularly. ### 5/5 — App doesn't work half the time. *2024-11-24, version 1.12.67* I'm about to cancel my membership because about 60 % of the time the app claims I have no internet connection, when clearly I do. Not worth my time nor my money. ### 5/5 — I love this app and company. *2024-11-22, version 1.12.67* This method of paying a total amount and being able to listen to all I want is awesome! They have plenty to choose from and sometimes ones that the other major site doesn’t have. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
