Selection limited
Was looking for some books on animal health particularly one by Dr. Karen Becker called a Furever dog. how about increasing the variety of topics? It’s like the same topic with a different book cover on every book you offer
Love it.

AI Summaries - nothing to learn from
App positions itself as a learning tool - but the summaries just inform you of what the books roughly try to teach you - without actually informing you of HOW to do anything. Completely useless tbh.
Just for kicks
Gave 5 stars just because because of the crazy angry dudes review. 😀. Will try this app later.
Thanks
Thanks
Top notch
This app is so awesome and complete and helps me get through so many reads! Thank you
I had lifetime and now it’s asking to pay
Can someone help me with this
Lots of Helpful Summaries
So far, I’ve read a half dozen book summaries. It’s been very insightful to get various perspectives in 20 minutes on average. Highly recommended.
Atomic Habits
Informational and easy to follow. Very thought producing and helpful.
Promising, but Needs Polishing
ReadBay positions itself as a promising alternative to Audible, delivering a solid selection of audiobooks for users to enjoy. The app offers a broad library of titles spanning various genres, and in terms of functionality, when everything works as intended, the listening experience is smooth and enjoyable. However, some glaring issues hold ReadBay back from fully competing with its rivals.
One of the most frustrating aspects of the app is its usability when multitasking. If you navigate away from the currently playing audiobook (to browse the library or use another function), there is no indication anywhere on the screen that your audiobook is still playing. Even worse, when you return to your audiobook, it restarts from the beginning instead of resuming where you left off. This creates unnecessary friction for users — especially for those who want a seamless, uninterrupted listening experience.
Additionally, there are some concerning oversights on the administrative front. The link to the app's terms and conditions redirects to a site that doesn’t exist, which raises questions about transparency and accountability. On top of that, there’s no developer contact information available within the app, making it difficult to reach out for support or feedback — an essential feature for any app.
That said, ReadBay's core function — its audiobook playback — works well overall, and the app provides access to an impressive variety of titles. For listeners who value selection and don’t mind the rough edges, ReadBay is a decent option. However, for ReadBay to truly compete with established platforms like Audible, it will need to address usability issues, improve its transparency, and provide better support for its users.
Bottom Line: ReadBay has potential, but it’s still a work in progress.

This app allows me 10-15 minutes of ‘me’ time
This app allows me 10-15 minutes of ‘my’ time each morning to reflect and learn. I recommend
Good but needs more book options
Really like the app but I don’t like the recommendation is limited and are books I’ve read before. I’d much rather pick my own books. Really need more options and larger selection. Look forward to changes
Read, Listen and Learn
This gives decent summaries of books. It’s a quick way to decide if you want the full book or if the summary gives all that you want. Quickly weed through the “fluff”.
