Libro.fm Audiobooks for Negative User Reviews

✓ Works fine but can we get landscape view on iPad?Good but useless on iPad as it sticks to vertical view like on iphone....MpuricelVersion: 5.3.4

✓ Don’t use thisDoes not download purchased books.VestacitoVersion: 4.3.10

✓ Too leat to the party and too expensiveI had a look at this but audiobooks are way more expensive then audible. Maybe okay for the Amazon haters but not for me..JcorteenVersion: 6.5.0

✓ But disappointedHonestly, its as expensive as any major huge platform apple music netflix audible and beyond. Whats worse is that titles are ranging from $20-30 for audio books about as much as the hard cover!!!!? How is that possible or make sense? This is highly unreasonable and unsustainable. *** you cant make purchases in app!!? Yet you can redeem credit there and sesrch browse titles there? Very confused as to why the failure? Again $15 per month for audio book recordings on top of a la carte high $ purchases is just way too high. $5 a month + $30 for a new bestseller maybe. But still to high. In fact An audio file that costs more than $15-20 is just insane!!, why? Its not cuttimg trees or printing anything! Its just copying 1 file that was made once? Read once! Unlike a book where cost to print cut trees process put graphics ln and scale 1,000 copies is way higher, than a 1 file copied with a click..ShenkdabankVersion: 6.4.1

✓ Audiobooks not workingStarting to believe these ratings and positive reviews are paid. Wanted to use other audiobook apps other than audible but when I tried the free credit, it had difficulty even downloading an audiobook. I had so many problems like the download stopping at 33%, going over 100%, etc. My phone has more than enough storage, I restarted the phone, reinstalled the app and nothing works. If i’m having problems this early on, I’m sure I’ll have more problems in the future. I guess I’m on the hunt for a different audiobook app..KetianaOVersion: 4.4.4

✓ Only the mission is worth itLove the mission and I’ll continue using the app just to support local bookstores alone. However, the app doesn’t offer much functionality for searching or accessing your account, and often leaves me confused. The FAQ instructions say you can pick a specific bookstore to support ‘at anytime by going to your account’ but I still cannot figure out how to do that from ‘my account’ on the app. It might only be an option from a computer, but either way the instructions are not clear, not helpful, and frustrating. The search function also needs to be improved. I cannot seem to search within the app for available books, regardless of if you can purchase through the app. For example, even just a search of ‘p’ returns zero results with the app, which I find hard to believe is accurate (do no you have no authors with a name starting with P? No titles starting with P?). This makes it a lot harder to recommend and actually get other people to switch over, who might not be as altruistic..Jacqueline-a11yVersion: 4.4.6

✓ Network issuesI can’t seem to search for anything due to “internet issues” but my wifi is working fine and every other app functions correctly. If there’s a service outage, that’s fine but I’d prefer if there was at least somewhere where I could see the status of that outage or find an expected fix time. If it is another issue, then I guess I don’t have feedback, just a negative review because the app clearly isn’t working and my wifi clearly is..JuicyslewVersion: 6.4.0

✓ Will not download on cellularI bought a book & unfortunately this is the app the author chose. I finally found book in my library a month ago. I thought it was downloaded. Nope. So I try to download it. No connected to wifi. I go to settings and the app was allowed to use cellular. Still no download, had to find wifi. I will never use this app again.GMBinderVersion: 6.4.1

✓ Please let us sort Authors and Narrators!I enjoy this app but for the love of Pete, can we PLEASE have a sorting feature added for Authors and Narrators? Publication date, title, length, and series are all well and good but this first world problem drives me crazy. I understand that we can use the Search feature for this but being able to sort by Author of Narrator is a standard sorting feature in every other audiobook reading app..The Panda ExtraordinaireVersion: 6.0.0

✓ Frustrating BugI’m all for supporting local indies, so this is my preferred audiobook app. But it’s also the most frustrating. To wit, it will randomly backtrack to earlier in the book between listening sessions. This doesn’t always happen, but just often enough to be maddening. Sometimes the jump is hours long, and it’s difficult to find my way back to where I actually was in the narration. Though random, it’s most likely to happen in one of two circumstances: after a long break, say overnight, or when I switch the way I listen such as from earbuds to CarPlay. Having to spend time figuring out which track I was on, and where, is hard enough when I’m home, but impossible when I’m driving. It’s very frustrating when I have a long drive but can’t continue where I left off because the app randomly decided to backtrack a couple of hours in the story..BC MysteryVersion: 5.3.0

✓ Amazing Service but Average AppLove being able to support my local bookstore but the app lacks some functionality features. I would really rate this a 3.5. It’s absolutely worth the subscription to support your local bookstore but the app is slightly above average but not amazing. - There are no chapters listed only track 1, 2, 3, etc. which makes it hard to know where you’re at in the book. - You can’t see how much left you have in the book as a whole just the current track - I’m always a fan being able to customize an app to your individual preferences and there’s minimal you can do to update. Being able to customize what you may see on your Home Screen for example (I don’t need to see a genre list but that may be a huge pro for someone else) - Pro: LOVE that we have dark mode available..Mizmeliss87Version: 6.5.1

✓ Doesn’t organize by chaptersI like the idea of this app and supporting my local bookstore, but this is probably the last time I get a book from Libro until they change the app. Audio books are divided by “track” which has no connection to the progress of the book. Other apps I use for audiobooks organize by chapter. The effect of this is that if I lose track in the story or if I want to go back to a certain place, I can’t do that in any meaningful way..ShimnastVersion: 4.3.2

✓ App stops when phone sleepsI’ve had a good experience so far with customer service (I bought a book in Spanish by accident and they refunded me) and for the usability of the app. Except for one big issue, that unfortunately will be a game changer if I can’t get it fixed- the app stops playing when my phone screen turns off. If I can’t listen without constantly have to turn my screen back on, I will have to get rid of the service. It’s hard to relax and listen when it’s cutting off every 3 minutes..TscullyVersion: 5.3.1

✓ Many Books I Want to Listen to is UnavailableWish i could give the app a higher rating, because from a mission perspective it’s great. That said, i frequently find that books i want to read are not available on on the app. Reasons are either the app just doesn’t have the audiobook or there is some stated licensing issue that prohibits the purchase of the book with membership credits…yes i’m paying a subscription to support local bookstores, but i’m primarily doing it to listen to audiobooks that i’m interested in. stopped my subscription because of this. kind of disappointing. also, i’ve found that the audio mastering on some audiobooks isn’t great. like i have to turn my volume all the way up to barely hear the audio (eg guns germs and steel). not sure if that’s an app specific issue but still stinks..GerardPateVersion: 6.6.2

✓ Cannot download audiobooks nowCan no longer download any of the audiobooks I’ve purchased, and after uninstalling and reinstalling per the FAQ have now also lost all of the ones I had downloaded before. That’s hundreds of dollars down the drain..JLou_auVersion: 4.4.6
