Very slow
It takes forever to pull up your audio book and it is not user friendly.
Please fix the interface
The main page is too saturated with different titles and other unnecessary things. At points I’m unable to find the books that I’ve unlocked. I think the main page should be your unlocked books. Overall, the app is just not intuitive and that’s a shame.
New changes may make sense, but they’re also really annoying!
Everand used to be one of my favourite audiobook apps; don’t be fooled by earlier reviews, before they ruined everything, now this app is worth much less. They decided they didn’t care about “fast readers” like myself anymore, just so they could get more money. Even for slower readers, it’s like a lazier more annoying version of audible, that’s only worth using if you enjoy cheaper, older, non-premium books. Since they got rid of the unlimited account and replaced it with what you see now. If you can listen to six hours of an audiobook in two days or less, you’re definitely better off with Libby or Audible, but it’s still a good backup for non-premium books. Only buy it if you’re completely sure it’s worth it for the books you like. g, now this app is worth much less.

Pure trash
Too many things wrong with the app to list just trash!! I say just use Audible!!
The app is very buggy
I appreciate the audio preview. But the app is very buggy, even after using a credit. The player randomly stops requiring me to restart my phone, delete and re-download the app, or a variety of other work arounds.
Needs autosave note feature.
I would give 5 stars if they worked in a feature that autosaves notes. It can be very frustrating when youre a paragraph deep into annotating, then the app swipes out and saves absolutely nothing…. Kinda seems like a no brainer but I digress.
Used to be better
I’ve been happily using Scribd, and now Everand for several years now. But with the new plan structures being introduced I’m becoming frustrated. I am trying to change from a legacy plan to a new one so I can unlock a new ebook I want to read.
I cannot see anywhere in the app that allows me to make that chance in-app. The FAQ in the app says to log in to my account on the Everand Website, and navigate to “Your Account”. It says in the “Subscription” section, I should select “view all plans”, but when I go there, the subscription section only says: “ To manage or cancel your subscription, please visit: Apple Support”
I tried opening a chat as it seems it’s the only option for asking for help, and it the chat wouldn’t even load properly, so no response there.
You guys are making it very hard to upgrade. What am I supposed to do??

Kinda seems like a no brainer but I digress. Also would like more titles from diverse and inclusive authors. It’s surprising they don’t have many from black feminist scholars. Like bell hooks, (more) Toni Morrison, Ntozake Shange etc. They have a good surface level selection but they need to go deeper when it comes to this specific study area and I’m sure there’s other areas missing big contributors.

No stars
Everand the app that takes your subscription cost yet never updated to reflect in the app. This was my second attempt. Will not be trying again.
App keeps freezing up
App keeps freezing up and will not transfer my books from devices.
Search feature sucks
Ive been a subscriber for a long time via Scribd and finally canceled out of frustration. A couple of years ago Scribd & Everand changed the search feature. It says you can search by author, title or topic but you cannot. It only returns categories. The search feature sucks. And, btw, EVERAND is the dumbest name I can imagine. You have ruined a good platform.

Many problems
Tried to like it.
Great selection of Audio books, but
App would not let me upgrade to the 5 books per month plan.
App lost track of where you stopped for the day.
Getting help, even with a help ticket is next to impossible.

Love this app!
I’ve listened to many books already! The credits role over as well. I took a pause for 2 months came back and had over 8 credits, which I have been enjoying. I like that option because a popular listening app doesn’t do that and they charge more money for extra listening hours which is super annoying.

Too many bugs
I regularly experience trouble signing in, even by trying it on separate devices. Help center did not help me figure out this issue
Duplicate billing and bad customer service
The app is great, service is not. I was with them for several years. They started duplicate billing be for over a year. When I brought this to their attention they refused a refund and refused to help with Apple who also refused a refund. I suggest you consider using a different provider. I am out almost $200 and they don’t care.

I tried…
Got tired of Audible hiding the Plus Catalog and made the switch. The app seemed to not work as often as it worked just hangs like it’s loading my books, but never does. When it did work, it forgot my place in my book about 30% of the time. (Troubleshooting, updating, uninstalling and reinstalling did not resolve). Might try again someday if they ever fix the app.

Was a customer for YEARS. Lost me.
Your business got greedy off the backs of the people who started you. That’s greedy and gross.
Greed
I always loved this app, but now most new titles are locked behind higher subscription tiers. Disappointing.
Used to love it
I used to absolutely love this app and unfortunately I’ve already dumped so much money into this service and have so many books that I need to finish that I can’t cancel yet. But, I am so beyond tired of it losing my spot in books. I don’t always keep track of exactly where I left off and every single time I open the app, it puts me back by 5-10 chapters. I then have to click through and listen and try to find where I left off. It’s driving me absolutely nuts and I’m about to cancel out of sheer principle at this point. Fix it.

Starts over
I’m so incredibly aggravated at how over the past month if I pause then it reverts back to the beginning!!!! The book starts all over and bookmarks are no good!!! I’m about ready to just cancel it. Can’t believe it’s not something that can be fixed!!!!! I used to recommend and absolutely do not do that now.
