### 5/5 — Bästa

*2026-08-02, version 2026.07.3*

Den bästa appen att läsa/Lyssna på böcker i, Hela min familj använder den och det är inga reklamer och en massa böcker finns! Bästa apparna någonsin😍

### 5/5 — Super 🤩

*2026-07-26*

Nextory est super, j’adore ! 😍 il y a juste un petit truc qui ma embêté. Le truc c’est que deux livres que J’ADORE ne sont pas dans l’application . Il y a un autre problème c’est que beaucoup de livres sont en anglais et ce sont des livres qui ont l’air d’être super,donc si on pouvait mettre plus de livres en français ce serait super. Mais sinon c’est la meilleure applications.👏🤩

**Developer response:** Nous sommes ravis que vous appréciez l'application ! Nous prendrons note de vos retours concernant les livres manquants et la sélection en français pour améliorer l'expérience de nos utilisateurs. Merci pour votre feedback ! 📚🇫🇷

### 1/5 — Sleep timer doesn’t work

*2026-07-01, version 2026.06.6*

Timer doesn’t work properly and therefore I’m losing listening hours. Usually I put half an hour sleep timer but every time I have to go back at least one hour to get back to the point where I started listening.

### 5/5 — Une appli toujours avec soi

*2026-06-29*

Une application au top. Depuis que je l’utilise c’est un vrai bonheur. Je peux écouter des livres audio dans la voiture, chez moi…. Qd j’ai une période où je suis moins dispo pour écouter et qu’en fin de mois je n’ai pas utilisé tout mon crédit c’est en report et ça c’est vraiment le top. On perd pas les heures payées… vraiment je recommande

**Developer response:** Nous sommes ravis de savoir que vous appréciez notre application et que vous trouvez utile la fonctionnalité de report de crédit pour les livres audio! Merci beaucoup pour votre recommandation.

### 5/5 — Ein echter Geheimtipp für Comic-Fans

*2026-06-19*

Ich lese täglich Comics und könnte mir meinen Alltag ohne sie kaum noch vorstellen. Selbst vor dem Schlafengehen gehört für mich immer noch ein Comic dazu. Deshalb habe ich schon einige digitale Angebote ausprobiert und war lange auf der Suche nach einer guten deutschsprachigen Alternative.

Bei Nextory war ich anfangs eher skeptisch, wurde dann aber wirklich positiv überrascht. Die Auswahl an deutschsprachigen Comics ist deutlich größer, als ich erwartet hatte. Besonders gefallen hat mir, dass viele aktuelle Hefte und Paperbacks verfügbar sind und sogar zahlreiche hochwertige Titel vom Splitter-Verlag im Abo enthalten sind.

Die App selbst hat zwar noch etwas Luft nach oben, was Bedienung und Funktionen angeht, aber das wird für mich durch das umfangreiche Angebot mehr als ausgeglichen. Gerade wer viele Comics liest, bekommt hier eine enorme Auswahl geboten und entdeckt immer wieder neue Reihen.

Für deutschsprachige Comic-Leser ist Nextory aus meiner Sicht ein echter Geheimtipp und definitiv einen Blick wert. 👍📚💥

**Developer response:** Danke für dein tolles Feedback! Es freut uns sehr, dass dir die Auswahl an deutschsprachigen Comics gefällt. Wir werden dein Lob an das Team weitergeben, um das Nutzererlebnis in der App weiter zu verbessern. Viel Spaß weiterhin beim Lesen! 📚💬

### 1/5 — Cet appli ne marche plus

*2026-06-08, version 2026.06.1*

On n’a plus le droit de chercher les auteurs qu’on veut lire… sinon l’appli suggère des autres livres qu’on aimerait peut-être lire au lieu de ce qu’on veut

C’est un changement récent et ça gache tout

### 4/5 — Buena

*2026-06-04, version 2026.06.1*

Es una buena aplicación, funciona bien, tiene muchísimos libros y gran variedad. Muy buen precio para todo lo que ofrece. La única pega que le pondría es que faltan libros en otros idiomas, la gran mayoría solo están disponibles en español, estaría genial tener más opciones

### 1/5 — Predatory subscription

*2026-05-29, version 2026.05.4*

Difficult cancel.  Had to lock  credit card because it took so long to figure out. They make it very confusing and you will have to do it on a website (not in the app) that doesn’t have English language option. Good luck.

### 1/5 — Predatory subscription

*2026-05-27*

Unable cancel.  Had to lock  credit card.  Stop billing me.   Got ANOTHER bill please cancel they don’t actually respond.

**Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact our support team with your details so we can assist you with cancelling the subscription promptly. We appreciate your feedback and will pass it on to the relevant team. Contact us at customerservice@nextory.com and we’ll take a closer look at your case.

### 2/5 — Muchos libros con IA

*2026-05-23, version 2026.05.3*

Necesitan filtrar los libros que fueron escritos usando IA. Es desagradable y no lo dicen por ningún lugar.
