BEST VAUE AUDIOBOOK APP
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 🙏
Response from developer
Thanks for your kind words - we appreciate it. And we have added this request to our implementation planning! Thanks again.
Customer Support
Thank you so much for fixing my issue. Love the app Great customer support
Jumping chapters
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.
Like the idea bad app
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.
Great start but lacking important functionality
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

Hi, thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you’re enjoying the audiobook selection, and we’re sorry for the buggy experience. We recently released updates to improve search, and we’re continuing to work on reliability and overall performance. Please update to the latest app version. We also appreciate the suggestion about adding bookmarks, especially for use with the sleep timer. Thanks again for taking the time to share this with us.

Perfect app. Just wish there was an option to show what % of book is complete
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for the lovely review. We’re so glad you’re enjoying the app. Thanks as well for the suggestion about showing book completion percentage, we’ll keep it in mind for future improvements. We appreciate your support.
Anyplay
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!

hey there! Sorry to hear about this. We work hard on getting rights to more books in more countries every day so we hope you give us a second chance in the future!
Sad
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!

So glitchy
I find that this app has som many glitches and no app support
Was a Great app
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.
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback! We hear you :) We will do our best to improve and include the suggestions you mention.
No customer service support
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.
Search doesn’t work
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.

Selection is too small and often it’s read by a monotonous AI generated voice.

The app is amazing and I used it all the time and had an annual subscription, why have you ended that as an option
Awesome selection
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.
Search says no results for every book
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.

So many books not available with a subscription
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?
App doesn’t work
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.
Any?
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 😌
