All Books on BookBeat are AMAZING
I love all Books in BookBeat
Great concept
Love the hours element. Just wish you could listen at faster than x2 speed.
Excellent value
I have 100 hours a month and love BookBeat. Loads of choices and a great model of using mins rather than having to choose a book! Love it đ„°
Default language
The apps default language is Swedish and canât be unselected. This means the homepage will always be in Swedish. You do have the option to filter for English but this makes the user experience clunky. It seems like an odd design choice. When I messaged for support, I got a default email in Swedish so I will uninstall.

Pointless free trial
All the books I am interested in are locked under the free trial so I wonât be trying the app. Disappointing!
Audio cut off?
Itâs really good! But from my experience the audio randomly just stops? I try restarting the app, swiping it away, checking my wifi and blue tooth but nothing?
Bug issue?
Iâve been using the app for a long time and love it, especially with recent updates. However, Iâve noticed that when I select the author or narrator of a book Iâm currently listening to see what else by them is available in BookBeat it shows â0 Booksâ - even if Iâm currently listening to a book written by that author! Itâs incredibly frustrating and I donât know why itâs happening (yes the app is updated).

Fantastic app
Love the book choices and being able to read or listen, I always listen while I do my cleaning jobs around the house or my clients or if my husband has the football on đđ
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 HörbĂŒcher auf meinem iPhone zu hören. Und dann bin ich auf BookBeat gestoĂen. Die Auswahl an sehr guter Literatur, in sehr vielen Genres, ist riesig. Es gibt neue BĂŒcher, alte, berĂŒhmte und welche, die nicht so populĂ€r sind. Es gibt Hörspiele, eBooks und das noch in unterschiedlichen Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch, Polnisch, Schwedisch, Finnisch, Französisch, DĂ€nisch, NiederlĂ€ndisch, Italienisch und Polnisch.
Und! Obwohl sie Auswahl groĂ ist, regelmĂ€Ăig werden neue HörbĂŒcher und eBooks hinzugefĂŒgt. 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 fĂŒr immer und ewig bleiben â€ïž

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 wasnât comfortable signing up to pay for something when I couldnât 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 wasnât an option to do it in English

Parfait
Mieux que tout le reste mĂȘme sâil manque des Ă©diteurs comme
Acte Sud et dâautres. Et surtout il manque le mode sombre activable tout le temps( pas uniquement le mode qui suit le mode de lâiPhone). Il manque cruellement la possibilitĂ© dâavoir un Ă©galiser et un compresseur intĂ©grĂ© car les livres audio sont de qualitĂ© variable et sonnent un peu grave-sourd en gĂ©nĂ©ral 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 nâont pas ce problĂšme ).

Mixed review
Good points: you can see how much of a book you have listed too, rather than just whatâs left. Tells you what percentage you have listed too. Donât pay per book so if you donât like it you havenât lost it. Easy to use.
Negative points: canât 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.

Customer service
Such great customer service they helped me a lot with my subscription
Too few hours
Great app, but you only get 20 hours a month! Which only adds up to about one or two books so itâs more affordable to just buy the paper books instead! Really disappointed with how few hours you get, feels like a scam. Would be a great app otherwise.
I will not be using it
My biggest gripe is that in the 2 weeks that I have been using it I already encountered 3 books that had MISSING PAGES. How on earth does this happen? Reading a book just to have a part of a chapter missing is not ok.
The second reason I donât like BookBeat is lack of filters / categories by genre. For example everything in âyoung adultâ is lumped together. So you have fantasy and romance and horror all in one place. Very time consuming digging through of you are looking for specific genres or vibes.
Third reason, the way they count the pages when you are reading rather than listening. It doesnât seem to correlate with the actual reading time. The default font is microscopic so I use an extra large font and because less text fits inside the screen, they count it as extra pages. So my books gets read 2.5 times longer. Which is unfair.
Fourth and final reason is lack of variety. Thereâs not that much I am genuinely interested in. And considering that they limit how many pages you can read in a month (unless you pay extra), it makes more sense to follow you know what for daily deals and build a collection of books you actually are excited to read for less. Or just get books from the library.

My favourite app
I LOVE BookBeat. Itâs my therapy when I am overstimulated from having a toddler and baby. Your not limited to just one book per month and has gotten me back into âreadingâ as an adult
5stars
Best app for audio books.
Lie about being a free app
This app is expensive despite saying it is free on the app store
BookBeat
Enjoy BookBeat. Probably the only downside is you donât get to keep the books you purchase
I canceled you still charging
Can you refund my money pls and stop nonsense,thanks
