Keeps loosing my place

Randomly when opening the app to continue listening to my audiobook it will just restart from the very beginning which causes me to have to locate where it was left off from. It’s very annoying

Unable to access purchases

I recently bought a number of audio books but now for some reason I can’t access or listen to any of them i can’t contact the devs or anything to fix this issue or get my money back

Time of Death

Lore is pretty much shot and the universe has been captured by agenda driven culture warriors who are focused on making the universe more in line with what they think is acceptable.

I’m sure when they hit rock bottom it will change so just hang in there.

£35???!!!

Absolutely ridiculous, day light robbery and you’ve successfully alienated another fan. £35. Disgraceful.

Useless if you purchase outside the app

While I’d love to discuss the functionality of the app, I cannot. All my Black Library audio purchases were done on my computer via the website. Despite Black Library having an account system, the app does not allow for logins. All purchases are instead tied to the app store, meaning that any purchase done via the black library website is not available on the app.

Oh well!
