User reviews

Functions well

Perfect for all the audiobooks I have collected and are saved in the cloud.

If I want something to be improved it is that the book description from the metadata can be seen. Secondly when I am in the mediathek the titles in one album have always the name of the album. Which can be confusing.

Excellent usability

It works seamlessly like a version of Plex for your Audiobooks and matches them to the relevant meta data. It linked perfectly with my Dropbox account.
I like the ability to make a one off purchase and it would be good to have a tip jar as well.

Scam App Makes You Pay Multiple Times

This is a scam. I paid for this app but it reverts to the non-paid version, asking you to pay again. "Restoring Purchase" button does nothing. Have contacted developer twice.

Mixed

Sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s not. I stream audiobooks from my Google Drive and half the time it works great. The other half are it getting in a buffering loop or starting at the beginning of a book instead of where I stopped. So great when it works and frustrating when it’s temperamental.

Très bien.

Application vraiment très bien. Elle nécessiterait un petit rafraîchissement au niveau du look par exemple l’icône fait un peu vieillot et ne donne pas trop envie. D’autre part, j’aimerais pouvoir mettre une autre couleur que cette couleur bleue qui est un peu dépassée. Le rouge de Storytel est magnifique. Il faudrait aussi mieux gérer les bookmarks comme par exemple un appui long servant pour automatiquement mettre un bookmark sans être obligé d’ouvrir un menu. Sinon fait bien son travail.
