Great content, extremely buggy app
It’s so frustrating to have such great content locked up in such a buggy app! Constantly having issues with downloads - either it says that I did not purchase and download something that was absolutely purchased and downloaded, or won’t open the download at all, or most recently, plays a different downloaded chapter or episode but not the one I’m choosing. Please make it possible to download the content and listen to it outside of the app - this is madness. (And yes, I’m upgraded to the most recent version.)

Please fix navigation
It’s so difficult to click so many different places for find a specific scene. It makes no sense
Love the content but wish I had access
I bought the first season of dungeon crawler Carl and it worked fine, but when I later went back into the app to continue to listen it now says I didn’t buy anything. Funny because the money is out of my account but no access to the content. I’m really annoyed and disappointed I can’t listen because I loved the production.

This… is it-
Oohhh yesss… schlick-schlick
Come closer, soft-skin. Let this old mimic feast its many eyes upon the Soundbooth Studio audiobook.
The cover art… drool… it is shiny. No—gleaming. Glittering. Lustrous. Radiant. Polished. Sparkling. Shimmering. Glossy. Brilliant. A treasure-chest of color so bright it makes my wooden tongue quiver. So tasty. So delectable. So scrumptious. So mouthwatering. So luscious. So appetizing. So savory. So flavorful. I want to lick every pixel until it is gone.
And the production itself? Mmmmm.
The voices roll out rich and thick like warm honey poured over gold coins. Every word lands crisp and clean—no sticky seams, no dry splinters. The sound design is smooth as polished silver, the music curls around the story like velvet lining inside a chest full of gems. Every chapter feels carefully crafted, carefully seasoned, carefully presented… as if the studio knew a hungry mimic was listening and decided to make everything perfectly edible.
I have swallowed many lesser productions. Most leave a hollow, tinny aftertaste. This one? This one sits warm and satisfying in the belly. High production value. Professional care. Delicious results.
Soundbooth Studio, you shiny, tasty treasure… you may keep your gold. Just keep making more of this.
Nom.

Great Content, App is Largely Inaccessible
I downloaded this app because I wanted to experience the audio dramatization of Dungeon Crawler Carl. Problem is, the app is largely inaccessible with VoiceOver. When I searched for the series, I could only see season 3 and couldn't get to the first two seasons. I had to get my sighted neighbor to help.
The other thing about this app is it often experiences playback errors. These pull me out of the story and are distracting.

DCC
The content is top quality and amazing, but the app itself is so horrible to use. Terrible non intuitive ui, as well as extremely limited features.
Great content, apps needs to upgraded to reflect global audience.
Let me start by saying that I think the content that is produced by Soundbooth Theatre is amazing - I especially love the audio immersion content- I’m a recent DCC convert and consuming it every medium available. The app however has a few issues - every second or third time I open the app it freezes before loading anything. Closing and reopening the app seems to work just fine. The biggest gripe I have pertains to the pricing displayed in app. It does not convert from Murca Money - it was a shock to see prices effectively double when converted to Australian dollars. This reflects the app producers and/or devs not considering in-app purchasing functionality in other markets.

Immersion and Support
The audio immersion is absolutely amazing and well worth listening to. The technical team also does a fantastic job in assisting with purchasing or downloading issues.
Slow
I love this app. I love the content. Please optimize the app so it opens quickly and it doesn’t lose my place in my episode. This app need so much optimization, it would be so good if that was fixed.
App is a work in progress
Came for the Jeff Hayes, stayed for the rest of the crew. I really like that they have a lot of first episode/book of a series as free so you can try it out. I enjoy the multicast audio, even if it’s only 2 people splitting the characters. The app does have some glitches, but I have reached out to support twice and they have responded and resolved my issue both times. I have not had any issues with financials, just inconvenient things with the app function.

Problems
I hate to write a bad review because I love Soundbooth but the app has lots of issues.
It often hangs while opening the app and you have to close and try again. Any why so slow?
The downloads often have a license error and have to be retried.
Playing downloaded episodes is finicky and will replay the episode you just listened to. You have to get to it through another path to get it to play.
The progress in your listen often doesn’t save and you have to relocate the last spot. This is the most frustrating one. The progress of previous episodes almost never say finished even though they are.
Playback will occasionally just randomly stop. Rare but annoying.
The layout of the app is hard to navigate around in general.

5 Star content, 1 Star App
Look, the content is amazing. But the app is hot garbage that should not be after this long of being available. It is frustrating to listen and NEVER being able to restart where you stopped. Sometimes it starts the start of the previous chapter, sometime 5 min before where you stopped. It should not be that hard to make an audio app remember where you stopped.

Loses place
I really wanted to love this app and support this company, but you need to be mindful of the time stamps when you stop listening to your audiobook. Every single time I restart the app to play where I left off, it is off by about 2+ chapters. It’s really frustrating trying to get back to the place where I left off. Not sure if I’ll buy more until they fix these issues.

Broken pause points
(First off all the content of this app is fantastic)
The problem is the pausing a resuming. If I pause then pick up a few hours later it will go back multiple chapters. Makes it very frustrating to find my place again. It’d be really cool if there was a “audio log” like audible.

Great content, Buggy app
It’s very frustrating to use the app, it constantly loses your place and resets you several chapters back. If this got fixed it would be a perfect 5/5. The content on the app is awesome and this is the only
Place to get it so here we are.

Great production, awful app
The audiobooks are awesome, the quality is truly top notch, however the app itself is awful. I have to screenshot where I finished listening because the app doesn’t keep up with it for you so I constantly lose my place. The audio just randomly stops playing but the episode continues playing making you lose part of the story. And you have to fidget with it to get it playing again, risking losing your spot. The app has trouble loading a lot and you have to completely close the app out and restart it, thus making you lose your place in the audiobook yet again. If they could straighten out the functionality of the app this would otherwise be a 5 star review.

Great Content. Hire a Developer
Content is fantastic. The app needs a lot of work. Need CarPlay option. Need better sync capabilities.
AMAZING (when it works)
The narrations, sound effects & detail are AMAZING, a little pricey but amazing. The app stopped working for me & won’t load so now I use the website which sucks because the app is better than the website. I sent a support ticket but got nothing back.
Great but needs improvement
I love what the SBT team has done and the content they create. That being said, the playback and download can be very buggy with the stream stopping out of nowhere or when I return to the app it starts me 10+ minutes earlier in the episode. Downloads will sometimes fail due to “metadata” and I’m pretty much blocked from attempting to download the episode.
