### 1/5 — Not working and interaction not good

*2024-10-01, version 3.6.4*

I tried the app, was not able to get subscribe option, tried the fnb app and i was able to link my profile but still not able to subscribe. Fnb app also very unresponsive. Frustrating

### 1/5 — Onbekostigbaar

*2023-04-20, version 3.6.4*

Audible books werk goedkoper uit

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2022-12-12, version 3.6.4*

This app has so many bugs - the forward and rewind buttons on the lock screen doesn’t work and the app doesn’t remember your place in the book if you sign out (which happened automatically, I did not initiate this) or restart your phone. It also has a weird way of showing the time, what does 01:76:14 mean? 76 minutes? Doesn’t make sense. I downloaded this app to listen to one book and won’t be supporting them for more books very easily.

### 5/5 — Lovely Local Stories

*2022-07-14, version 3.6.1*

Love the BiB.Africa app. Such a wonderful selection of stories in multiple South African languages. Easy purchasing. Easy to navigate interface.

### 5/5 — Top African Audio Books

*2022-07-13, version 3.6.1*

Beautifully designed & easy to use. The content is well produced and really high quality. Books in English, Afrikaans, Zulu & Xhosa! Highly recommended 💛

### 5/5 — BiB

*2022-07-12, version 3.6.1*

BiB gave not only me, but my kids as well a variety of audiobooks to tickle our imaginations. From toddler to tween to me, our series time has been replaced with BiB audiobooks. Recommended for anyone in the family.

### 5/5 — Yes!

### 5/5 — My favorite African stories brought to life!

*2022-07-12, version 3.6.1*

Love this App!Listening to the best of what SA has to offer while driving to work or walking the dog!The kiddies stories in different languages are also so convenient for my little one’s bedtime.

### 2/5 — Great App, not available to me

*2021-05-06, version 3.2*

Great App, I am so excited about it. Great disappointment that I am unable to use it, because am unable to change the payment method or add a new card, or use my US Apple store credits. 
I will look for a solution, because I want it!

### 3/5 — Can’t change language easily.

*2021-05-05, version 3.2*

I by mistake clicked on the incorrect language and now can’t update my profile to English. Seems like an amazing app and I really look forward to listening but just need it in English too.
