### 5/5 — Transcribe the contents please

*2024-12-11, version 1.8.1*

Transcribe the contents please

### 1/5 — Listen YouTube and save your money

*2023-12-06, version 1.8.1*

Once you subscribe you will use this application several times, then you get disappointed and annoyed to change records, they’re not following one by one. There are no any text or scripts, just audio records by subjects. Then you’ll forget about it till they charge you again by the end of the year. And this is only your responsibility to remember about app. Between thousands of tasks you have to remember about their app , or unsubscribe to don’t forget. If you subscribed on the website, not in app - you never detect this subscription in your Phone settings to remove. They will not sent you any notification before the date they charge you. Just charge and keeping silence, maybe client again forgets? 

If you forget your password - their website doesn’t return automatically any form to reset one. Support reacts in a couple of days. Manually they’re managing this process. They rejected my request to refund my money. I requested the same day their charged me. 
I didn’t like this app and had negative experience with Listenable. I feel like to be scammed. Be aware

### 2/5 — Watch the free trial trap!

*2023-04-27, version 1.8.1*

They did not send a courtesy email to warn that a payment would be taken after the free trial 😡.

These courses are presently nicely and the app & website are easy to navigate. However, the courses are indeed ‘bite-sized’, so somewhat narrow and superficial. There are other platforms to learn from in much more depth—even the internet.

### 1/5 — Not very listenable

*2022-11-19, version 1.8.0*

Had to give up using this app - thought it was my phone and/or network, but have changed phone over the course of the subscription and ruled out both these things. App crashes part way through listening to a course or the course doesn’t start at all.

### 1/5 — Be aware!

*2022-09-13, version 1.7.0*

They offer o free trial but it’s not free, they charge for that and after one year they renew without let you know. 
The course is like a audio book not a course! 
Don’t spend your money!

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2022-09-04, version 1.7.0*

Just get a podcast for free and save your email from spam

### 5/5 — Enjoying Listenable

*2022-08-16, version 1.7.0*

Great courses available on communication and health

### 1/5 — Not worth the $$

*2022-07-21, version 1.7.0*

I can’t believe I paid $89.90 for this App. It is not worthy. I would say it is very annoying. The recordings go so fast that they are very annoying.
It’s just crap.

### 1/5 — Great app, but..

*2022-05-28, version 1.7.0*

This app use to be able to continuously play chapters and so on. Now it’ll stop after a chapter finishes and I have to press play to continue. Now let’s say there could be 15 chapters, I would have to continually press play 15 times. Also before this problem, there was the feature to have all chapters play in a continuous way without having to stop. If problem does not resolve, I will not pay another year.

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2022-04-26, version 1.7.0*

DO NOT DO THE FREE TRIAL.

I did a free trial and they end it in a year subscription if you forget to cancel it even a day into the subscription. I tried to get a refund a month ago (literally days into the subscription period) and I just saw that I still have it. So I tried to cancel it again today and there’s not even a refund option now, probably because they didn’t give me the refund the first time and now it’s past a certain amount of time so I am likely ineligible. 

This makes no sense. If I am on month 1 of a 12 month subscription, I should be able to get 11 months refunded.
Literally a scam.
