### 1/5 — APP ISSUES

*2024-05-02, version 1.0.1*

Why can’t someone address the issues with this app?! You can’t sign in even though your information is correct. You can’t contact anyone for assistance. I just became a member, but I am rethinking my decision.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-04-05, version 1.0.1*

Every time I try to login it tells me it cannot connect to the server. 1 star until I can actually try it.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-01-19, version 1.0.1*

Make a new app or take this off the App Store it doesn’t even work.

### 1/5 — App won’t work.  Don’t waste your time.

*2024-01-13, version 1.0.1*

Bought a book I can’t read.  Scam.

### 1/5 — How to download

*2023-12-28, version 1.0.1*

You don’t have to use this app at all. Download adobe digital additions. Go to settings and authenticate.
Go to your download section of your online Books A Million, library, press download
Go to your downloads on your device, hold down the book you have download it (if you’re on a desktop right click) and “ share” the file with adobe digital additions
Open adobe, digital editions, hit refresh, your book will then be added to your adobe library. 
Open the book. And enjoy! 

PS let me know if this helps you

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work; can’t access the ebook I bought

*2023-12-28, version 1.0.1*

Very frustrating to buy an ebook and then not be able to read it because the app won’t let you log in. If I could give the app zero stars, I would. I have very little faith that this issue will be resolved promptly because there are reviews from a year ago that say the same thing. I wish I had read the reviews before I purchased an ebook from Books-A-Million.

### 1/5 — Can’t sign in

*2023-11-17, version 1.0.1*

I’ve downloaded and reinstalled several
Times .. still can’t log in , very irritating and disappointing

### 1/5 — Annoyed

*2023-05-29, version 1.0.1*

I can’t even log in to use the app.. I just created my password and it’s saying that there’s an error! Ugh

### 1/5 — Whats going on?!

*2023-04-12, version 1.0.1*

The app says i Can log onto it once I’ve made my first online our purchase. I did exactly that and it won’t let me log in. I’ve been trying to log on for a few days now … and no luck. I’ve deleted it and downloaded it everyday for more than a week now and it’s giving me a server error msg. The Libby app is way better .

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2023-02-19, version 1.0.1*

Was so excited that BAM had a book I was looking for in audiobook format that I didn’t read the reviews. Now I’m out 6 bucks for an audiobook I can’t listen to. Tried thier tech support and they were no help whatsoever

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-11-22, version 1.0.1*

Does not let you log in. Does not offer link to reset.  Tech support tells you to skip using it. Good advice. No easy way to use their ebooks so skip them too. Frustrating and awful.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-10-19, version 1.0.1*

Every time I’ve tried getting on the app it always gives me an error message. Telling me to contact server and try again later. I’ve been “trying” for over a month now with the same error issue. I sign into my account just fine online just not the app. I’ve deleted and reinstalled it numerous times with the same result. This is very frustrating and needs to be fixed. Then I’d rate better than a 1 since I can’t even use it now.

### 1/5 — Crap App

*2022-08-30, version 1.0.1*

The app does not allow you to bookmark, which is such a basic audiobook player function its absence defies belief. In addition, the player does not sync the reader’s last position in the app if it is downloaded to another mobile device despite users having to sign in to each using their BAM account credentials.

### 1/5 — BooksAMillion Audiobooks App

*2022-07-19, version 1.0.1*

Just purchased two ebooks from BAM website and can't read them because the app won't even work.  When I try to sign in, I also get the "unable to connect to server" message.  This is CRAP. LouisianaGator

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2022-06-13, version 1.0.1*

Every time I try to login, I receive a server error.

### 1/5 — Unable to sign in

*2022-03-03, version 1.0.1*

Every attempt to sign in has been unsuccessful due to a problem with the server.

### 1/5 — Won’t even let me log in

*2022-02-18, version 1.0.1*

I bought a book and can’t even access it since the app won’t log me in. This has to be a joke.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2022-02-17, version 1.0.1*

I can’t even get past the log in. It won’t accept my log in. Not even worth it. False advertising.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2022-01-15, version 1.0.1*

All  attempts to sign in using my BAM login have resulted in “Server error”. I have followed all troubleshooting instructions and tried different devices. It should not be this difficult. My advice is to go with Audible.

### 1/5 — Don’t waist your time

*2021-12-01, version 1.0.1*

You cannot even browse their selection without creating an account somewhere else first.

### 1/5 — 2026 app still doesn’t work

*2026-04-12, version 1.0.1*

I’m a member and I’d really like to buy my books from here instead of having to log in from the internet constantly

### 1/5 — Crash test dummy

*2026-02-20, version 1.0.1*

Hasn’t opened yet!

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2026-01-14, version 1.0.1*

I picked 1 star because there isn’t a zero star option. I see I am in the same boat as a review left 3 years ago.  I expected to be able to download my purchased book not realizing that I was slave to an app until after I purchased it.  Then to app won’t open and as stated in the prepurchase clause, no refunds.  What a crock.

### 1/5 — Crashes before fully opening

*2026-01-14, version 1.0.1*

I ordered an audiobook on Books-A-Million and downloaded the app as instructed. Upon trying to open the app brings up an all white page with the words “BAM! Audiobooks”. Within a matter of seconds the app promptly crashes and closes. (iPhone 17 ProMax)

### 1/5 — This app sucks

*2026-01-12, version 1.0.1*

I how books a million sees this
Why did you make a audio book app why not do a book about your store I logged in and I was stuck on the title screen for 5 minutes and I have the newest things so it can’t be slow because of my phone so logical conclusion for all.
This
App
Sucks.

### 1/5 — Crashes before opening

*2026-01-12*

I ordered an audiobook on Books-A-Million and downloaded the app as instructed. Upon trying to open the app brings up an all white page with the words “BAM! Audiobooks”. Within a matter of seconds the app promptly crashes and closes. I’m using an iPhone 17 ProMa with the latest update. I have done all the troubleshooting steps, multiple times. No luck getting it to work. I will be asking for a refund of the audiobook that I purchased.

### 1/5 — Negative stars is more like it

*2025-12-24, version 1.0.1*

Just like the other already posted, I’m not having any luck with this app at all. I literally open the app, and not even a minute later, it’s crashing. What’s the point of even having this app exist if you can’t use it?

### 1/5 — Does not work!

*2025-12-19, version 1.0.1*

When you enter your correct credentials, it STILL does not accept it. I wonder if this whole company is just AI

### 1/5 — Hey Books-A-Million

*2025-08-27, version 1.0.1*

Why would you spend the money, to make an audiobook app? That’s the stupidest waste of money! Instead you could’ve made an app, for your store like everybody else..

### 1/5 — Trouble logging in

*2025-06-02, version 1.0.1*

Was not able to log in. Other reviews state similar experience. Unable to resolve with customer support.
