### 1/5 — Paid Audiobooks Deleted Without Warning

*2026-01-07, version 2.17.6*

I purchased several audiobooks through eMusic/eStories years ago and recently discovered I can no longer access them. Support told me my paid purchases were deleted because I didn’t maintain a subscription and didn’t log in for six months, something I was never informed of at the time of purchase.

These were not rentals or subscription credits. They were sold as permanent purchases and I received no warning that my library would be erased. Now the platform is inactive and I’m being told to wait and “maybe” get access again someday.

Buyers should be aware that “purchased” content may not actually remain available. Very disappointing experience. And possibly illegal,  pursuing those options now.

### 2/5 — Same like SoveryShari

*2024-09-23, version 2.17.6*

The 100 thousand books are nowhere to be found.  There’s like 33 books now available and some are in various languages.  I have. Dozens of books which may or may not still be available. Some thing is going on here but they’re not saying .

### 1/5 — Library went from great to nonexistent, waste of money

*2024-07-10, version 2.17.6*

I used to love eStories (3 years ago) but the audiobooks available seemed have been reduced from initially 120,000 to about 500. And many of these books aren’t even in English. The picks form the editors’s do not even exist anymore. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Awful website and app.

### 1/5 — EStories is about as cool as this presidential election.

*2024-07-05, version 2.17.6*

Garbage. Just get audible. There is literally no reason to use eStories over their competition. 0 selling points only drawbacks

### 5/5 — Where did the books go?  Can’t use my credits!

*2024-05-14, version 2.17.6*

Don’t know what’s happened in the last few months, but this app that was fabulous is a disaster now. I’ve been a member since 2010 and have all kinds of books that I own and 5 unused credits. Every time I search for anything, it says no results found!  There seems to be only a small number of books available and some are foreign language. What on earth is going on!!  Wish I could get someone to tell me. I emailed support and got an answer, but it didn’t address the real issue. So sad, I loved this app!

### 1/5 — WHERE ARE ALL THE BOOKS?

*2024-05-08, version 2.17.6*

As a subscriber I can't use the credits I've paid for.🤬I thought this was a temporary state, but it has gone on for many months now, and the last app update was 3 years ago.

There are NO books AT ALL in many of the genres.

Even more sketchy, the app shows titles to "discover" in a carousel, but they don't show up in genre lists.   And are only available to "add to wishlist", not library.

The largest genre list (Fiction) has a grand total of 13—yes, THIRTEEN—books to choose from, only 10 in English.

Mostly 1-3 options if a genre has any at all, many of those not available in English.

I have appreciated this app previously for the audio player and convenient access to my library, but if I can't use my credits then why would I keep paying for a subscription?

### 1/5 — Can’t use my credits, no help from customer support

*2024-02-06, version 2.17.6*

Can’t purchase any items with my credits. No response to email or messages on messenger. Very frustrating! Only giving you 1 star because I can’t give you zero! Fix this problem!

### 1/5 — Won’t let me use my credits

*2024-02-04, version 2.17.6*

It’s not working. And most of the books aren’t available anymore.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-01-10, version 2.17.6*

App won’t let me use my credits to buy an audiobook

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2023-03-09, version 2.17.6*

Buyer beware you must use your credits within six months of them being issued. I like to save up my credits so I can purchase an entire series at one time. Regardless of that fact that you paid for them some reason eStories feels you have less time than a gift card to use them.
