### 1/5 — App issues

*2026-08-24, version 16.20*

I’m hoping this will catch some attention there a serious problem recently now when I’m in a audiobook and I stop listening the app doesn’t save where I left off now I’m having to keep remembering where I left off and I didn’t have to do that before and it’s effecting my progress on fable too this is pretty inconvenient

### 2/5 — Unhappy

*2026-08-22, version 16.20*

I unsubscribed and lost access to the book I had unlocked immediately although there were 29 days left in my subscription. This doesn’t happen with audible. Also can only play x1.2 or 1.5 speed- no in between

### 1/5 — Don't Update

*2026-08-20, version 16.20*

I had no problem with this app until I updated it this morning. Now I get nothing but a black screen. Hope they fix this quickly.

### 2/5 — Very glitchy

*2026-08-19, version 16.20*

I have many days where I cannot open the app, listen to the book that I’ve paid for. All morning, my app has shown just a black screen… How do I even get help??

### 1/5 — Black Screen Drama

*2026-08-19, version 16.20*

Everand works well most of the time, but not quite as well as audible. At the moment or like it is a black screen.. Not happy I guess I’ll have to delete my subscription if I can’t find the solution.

### 3/5 — App

*2026-08-19, version 16.20*

App not working. I click on and only get black screen. Have to come to Apps store to click “open” to get it to work.

### 1/5 — Weird subscription terms

*2026-08-18, version 16.20*

You only have access to the books you buy while paying for the subscription, and you lose access to your unused “unlocks” if you don’t use them in 6 months. I don’t understand why you have to use unlocks to read books, if you can only access them while paying for the subscription. With Kindle Unlimited, you keep the access to the books you purchase with your monthly point, AND you can borrow up to 20 books at a time that are available with the membership. I’d love to stop using Amazon, but this membership just doesn’t make any sense. It would be like if Hulu or a Netflix only let you watch 1-3 shows a month.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2026-08-16, version 16.20*

Not sure if it’s just my phone but the app constantly signs me out even while in the middle of a chapter and then doesn’t let me sign back in without a million tries first, restarting my phone and turning my WiFi off and back on. I’m currently on my free trial and if this is how the app runs I don’t think I’ll be keeping this subscription.

### 1/5 — Terrible UI, poor chapter partitions, poor audio quality, worse DRM than Amazon

*2026-08-15, version 16.20*

Why on earth does this app create chapter partitions that don’t align with the actual chapter partitions within the book you’re reading/listening to? Just makes it impossible to track where you’re at for folks who cycle between reading/listening, which i assume a lot of folks are. The app generated chapters label themselves too, choosing random word phrases from the 30 sec passage they’ve been partitioned from, extremely confusing and hard to track spatially through any given text. I won’t be subscribing after i finish my first audiobook via this app.

The app also plays at a significantly lower volume than Audible or Libby and has a worse selection. It also appears you do not retain listening rights without an active subscription. I didn’t think DRM could get much worse than Amazon but apparently it can.

### 3/5 — Sketchy Audio

*2026-08-12, version 16.20*

I have two complaints, with the second being a direct result of the first. 

1 - The main issue here is that I’ve had multiple books’ audio cut out while the player shows it is still playing. The only way to get the audio to play is to close the app, reopen it, and rewind to wherever you were before the audio cut out. This isn’t a permanent fix either as it’ll cut out again within minutes. 

2 - This app is not safe to use via Bluetooth while driving. With the audio dropping out and the only way to fix it being closing and reopening the app, this is not a hands free compatible app. I’m not sure how many of you also like to listen to books while driving but if that’s your thing - this app isn’t safe for it. 

I wish I could blame the audio on spotty signal but it still happens on Wi-Fi at home and at work. 

I was just charged for my membership this morning and noted that the price was raised by a couple dollars. I didn’t think it was worth $9.99 when these issues started so I definitely don’t want to pay more than $10. I’ll be looking for an alternative audiobook service after this month runs out.

I’ve come to update this review a while later. I left the app and came back after the rebrand to Everand. For the most part they have fixed the spotty connection issue but it is far from perfect. I still experience random disruptions and it’s not on my WiFi’s end so it has to be on the developers. Since the rebrand - you get 3 books a month instead of 1 so honestly that’s the only thing keeping me here since they’ve only halfheartedly fixed the spotty connection issue.
