Bug issue?

I’ve been using the app for a long time and love it, especially with recent updates. However, I’ve noticed that when I select the author or narrator of a book I’m currently listening to see what else by them is available in BookBeat it shows “0 Books” - even if I’m currently listening to a book written by that author! It’s incredibly frustrating and I don’t know why it’s happening (yes the app is updated).

Response from developer

Hi, and thank you for your review! The issue could be related to the book filter within the app. Please reach out to us at support@bookbeat.com, we'd be happy to investigate and help you solve the problem.// Kind regards, Team BookBeat

Mehr als genial!!!

Ich kann es nicht in Worte fassen, wie verliebt ich in dieser App bin. Ich habe damals nur nach einer Möglichkeit gesucht, gute Hörbücher auf meinem iPhone zu hören. Und dann bin ich auf BookBeat gestoßen. Die Auswahl an sehr guter Literatur, in sehr vielen Genres, ist riesig. Es gibt neue Bücher, alte, berühmte und welche, die nicht so populär sind. Es gibt Hörspiele, eBooks und das noch in unterschiedlichen Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch, Polnisch, Schwedisch, Finnisch, Französisch, Dänisch, Niederländisch, Italienisch und Polnisch.

Und! Obwohl sie Auswahl groß ist, regelmäßig werden neue Hörbücher und eBooks hinzugefügt. Jetzt schon habe ich welche in meiner SuB stehen, die erst in August erscheinen werden (jetzt ist Anfang Mai).

Vielen lieben Dank. Ich werde euer Kunde für immer und ewig bleiben ❤️

Language default problems

Seems like a decent app, but every time I changed their website to English it would change back to Swedish when I clicked on anything. I wasn’t comfortable signing up to pay for something when I couldn’t reliably get communication in English. All emails were in Swedish as I was signing up. I ended up translating screenshots to delete my account because there wasn’t an option to do it in English

Parfait

Mieux que tout le reste même s’il manque des éditeurs comme
Acte Sud et d’autres. Et surtout il manque le mode sombre activable tout le temps( pas uniquement le mode qui suit le mode de l’iPhone). Il manque cruellement la possibilité d’avoir un égaliser et un compresseur intégré car les livres audio sont de qualité variable et sonnent un peu grave-sourd en général sur des AirPod Pro 3. La lecture longue est un peu fatiguante pour les oreilles du coup car on doit se concentrer pour bien comprendre ( les concurrents n’ont pas ce problème ).

Mixed review

Good points: you can see how much of a book you have listed too, rather than just what’s left. Tells you what percentage you have listed too. Don’t pay per book so if you don’t like it you haven’t lost it. Easy to use.

Negative points: can’t see how long is left in a chapter, can only listen to a certain number of hours a month depending on subscription. No chapter outline.
