Best reading app

Greatly deals on audio books. Don’t miss those special flash sales where must have books are 70 to 80 percent off. So glad I found this app.

Can’t recommend highly enough

This is a great and inexpensive competitor to Audible. Chirp’s app works reliably. The audio quality is top notch. And the library available is, though not ALL encompassing, quite extensive. I just wish there was a “do not suggest” label for some of those authors I abhor.

Bad user interface

Why have you screwed up the user interface so badly? It’s now all marketing, and examining my libraries is torture. I can’t choose what to download when I want to, and the app works very badly on my phone. Please fix this.

Great prices

Awful app, large and slow downlosds

Audio book deals

I can always find a good book at a reasonable price with Chirp

So expensive

Dont know why anyone would use this app the books are wat to expensive

Was better - but still good!

I absolutely love Chirp! Inexpensive books, FREE books! This latest update is frustrating tho. The app lags for 30 seconds or so and freezes up. There is also no way to sort books by “in progress”, which I use a LOT. Please bring back this feature. I also dislike not having bookmarks available from the playing page. It’s counterintuitive to go back to the main page in order to access the bookmarks.

Wish I found this sooner…

It’s a great way to find good audiobooks for a great price. You can wishlist a book and just be patient or you can check out all the sales they have and find something you didn’t know you liked.

Reasonable Prices and Great Sales!

I really like the .99c deals. Great options and I look forward to my daily walks for the next chapters! Recommend!

Makes my phone very hot

In the last two weeks, something has happened to the Chirp app when I run it. My phone gets very hot and my battery dies quickly. Please address this problem.

Great App

I love using this app. I can’t read books because I have back issues. So I can listen on my phone.
I love that I can listen where ever I am.

App and website have become unusable!

Ever done the last major iOS update CHIRP has become unusable due to high energy consumption. This applies to the app and the website.

Amazing!!! 💞💞

Absolutely love this app. Great prices for great books.

Meh.

I would do more with your app if it actually behaved correctly, and provided user controls that actually worked, with Bluetooth connections.

Kills my phone battery fast!

I love the books that I get from chirp and their great prices. Listening to books is another thing. My phone battery goes down fast! It doesn’t ever do that without chirp running, but with the app playing a book my phone gets hot, and it runs out the battery.

Excellent

Great app for affordable audiobooks. Seems there’s always a great sale. I seem to be able to find many of the books I can’t seem to find through my library.

No subscription!

I love that I don’t need a subscription for audiobooks. There are lots of choices and wonderful sales. This is not for people who only read current best sellers (use Libby or Hoopla for those) but great for series, classics and thousands of other books. My only issue is that often times the app seizes or crashes.

Lost in translation

I love to have access to the audio of classic literature and book collections I can listen to for hours and hours on end.

cost less $ than a “Credit” and the book is yours to keep!

Chirp is the only way that I get my audiobooks. I’ve tried subscriptions/ credit type sources like audible, listened to books on my library apps (sometimes I still do, just to make sure I really want to buy it beforehand) but I realized quickly that the cost of a MONTHLY credit can easily buy you two books and oftentimes more on Chirp. plus your books are yours to keep so there’s no need for reminders to return them or to purchase them at a higher retail cost in order to have the books forever. Great prices, amazing selection and aesthetically pleasing and easily accessible app.

Stop changing things!

For the all love of all that is holy quit changing things!!! now I can’t filter out read versus unread. I can’t archive anymore. You still have that stupid banner of how many weeks I’ve been listening to books, I really don’t care! Quit filling up the page with senseless information. And make the tools that you have actually work.
