✓ Love love loveI have read and reread “Yes Please” many times, but l loved listening to this audiobook so, so much. I highly recommend it to anyone, at literally any stage in their life (but, maybe 17+). As a twenty-something, this book is was an absolute gift. Hearing Amy’s story with such honesty, her humility and grace, positivity and compassion is something that cannot be compared and the lessons in these chapters are important and, for a young person, quite profound. I know that it’s the kind of book I can come back to in my 30s and 40s and still take away something important. And yes, I did listen to it in my car. But also on my way to work, on my way home from work, and whenever I needed to step away discreetly for a while. And honestly, there was no better way to spend my time than by getting a pep talk or dose of reality from Amy Poehler, in amy Poehler’s voice. I loved it. Thank you, Amy..JasminhasVersion: 2.29

✓ Dear Audible, I think I love youI am a happy customer. I was going to go with audiobooks but because they are cheaper and I liked the look of potential unlimited listens (though I don't think they do that) anyway, couldn't get them because I live in Australia so I tried audible instead. A little more (very marginally) but the customer service is fantastic. The selection of books is excellent, and constantly improving. They didn't have a series I wanted to listen to so I wrote to them, the very next month the entire series was available! I've noticed they have stopped splitting the long books into parts, which is also fantastic (please keep going with that). If I ever have an issue and write to them it's solved sometimes within a few hours, never more than a day. It all comes down to customer service. They listen to their customers and improve where they can. They make it so easy! Thanks Audible!!.ErrynbVersion: 3.69

✓ Life on a Knife’s EdgeA refreshingly authentic, vulnerable and mind blowing raw account of one extraordinary man’s reality, as he practices the art of neurosurgery. The insights, lessons, growth and ultimately humbleness gained from the patient/professional connection, renews so much hope in humanity … in that we are mostly doing the best we can in any given moment based on what we know at the time. The author delivers a reflection of his journey in a way that takes you undeniably along for the ride. The good, the bad and the not so good. It has left me feeling more empowered to take even more responsibility for my brain health and to gain as much understanding as possible to assess risk versus benefits when deciding on treatment and management options. I truly enjoyed every chapter..T ReusVersion: 3.71.1

✓ Makes other approaches appear thoughtlessMarie Kondo is a gift to humanity. Whether we keep something or not, she teaches us that we can respect things, seeing them as they are. And in doing so, it becomes apparent, with the help of her guiding question, if that thing will help or hinder us in living our best life. Her philosophy would benefit both rich & poor, frivolous and fugal, and is an essential read for every person living in a consumeristic society..Hayden...SVersion: 3.86

✓ Beware citizens of the worldHistory repeats and I feel the world is yet again facing a perilous onslaught of dangerous far left agendas all converging at once. Cancel culture and woke culture are amongst a variety of groups that have sinister groups backing them. How spoiled are the youth of today, a generation who have never had it so good, yet complain about how unfair life is and how unjust things can be. I say grow up and give thanks to those who walked before you that had something to actually complain about, where injustice was real. This book lays out in broad daylight how tyrannical govt can be and how easy it is to wake up and it’s... too late. Smarten up as this book should be a reminder to never get complacent. I appreciate you making this available and hope all of humanity get the opportunity to read it. With thanks and appreciation..Molomolo ❤Version: 3.47

✓ Well done!This book is interesting. I am not a tech type guy and I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It takes its reader through the history and background so we can understand where all the hubbub around 5G is coming from and the influence China and other influencers have had on the new technology and telephony technology in general. China is truly a bad actor but in a way you can’t blame them, they work under their own set of rules. Because they have long strategic plans for the CCP to control much of the world. To them there are no rules to getting to their destination. But we must not be enablers in there world domination. Early on we certainly shared way too much information and we did not protect our intelligence and innovation as we should have. But the good news is there are things we can do to reclaim prominence in the telephony field by unlocking innovation by reducing regulations. One of the things we must do is put country before pure profits by having good policies in tact to better protect America. Because this has such geopolitical concerns the US and private companies need to work much better together that in no way shape or form picks winners and losers. This is our big challenge going forward..MiltonoVersion: 3.75.1

✓ A tragic, sad indictment of our current legal systemThe law has been described as reason with emotion removed. The secret barrister articulates this point very well throughout with well articulated, albeit frustrating reasoning on the various case studies that separate the MSM media version and the reality on the ground. I still found myself questioning why as a society (or at least the narrative pushed via MSM) we give more weight on focusing on the perpetrators of crime and their often poor life experiences, rather than the victims of crime. Notwithstanding the ‘victims of crime leaflet’ what do the victims of crime get? But then I accept I am still in the flog ‘em and hang ‘em brigade! However; it is clear that years of cuts by successive governments [to the legal system] and a failure to tackle the causes of crime have left victims of crime as mere statistics on a government chart. Victims of crime have become a society norm just like being killed whilst driving has. One of those things and of course, it happens to other people, not me! Victims matter not to politicians because at the end of day, it’s all about the money. The adage that justice is available to all, as is tea at the Ritz, stands..FishsolutionsVersion: 4.7.1

✓ The Vocal Bible does it again!For over twenty years, Brandy has captivated me as an artist with her mesmerizing presence and timeless songs. From "I Wanna be Down" to "The Boy is Mine," "Full Moon," and "What About Us," and spanning from “ Impossible” (with Whitney) "Love is all that Matters" (with Diana Ross) to "Somebody's Son" (with Tiwa Savage), these iconic tracks have remain etched in my memory. Every time I revisit them (and I often do), it's as if I'm hearing them for the first time – that's the magic they hold. Brandy's voice has an enchanting quality that holds me spellbound. My admiration for this singer extends beyond her musical talents to her acting ventures as well. With the addition of this Audiobook, my appreciation for Brandy has only deepened. Audible has done a remarkable job, blending her exceptional storytelling with phenomenal musical accompaniment. I have a strong feeling that other artists will be inspired by Brandy's example and create their own Audiobooks with musical enhancements – it's a true showcase of skill. Listening to the Audiobook immediately sparked thoughts of sharing this experience with others. It's undeniably something worth passing on – a sentiment that resonates at a 100% level..RosapearlVersion: 4.2

✓ Good, but...My biggest problem with the app is that it tends to have a lot of half-finished features. For example: You can create collections of books, but the method to add books can be cumbersome, and there is no way to sort them, as to order a series. There is a “continuous listening” feature that allows you to stream multiple books in a row, but the books being streamed are random; you can’t select which book will come next, nor can you do this with books you’ve downloaded—they’re randomly selected from the Premium Library. You would think that collections could be similar to playlists and be put through continuous listening, but that isn't an option. More, the time I, personally, would find continuous play useful is while driving. But I won't stream gigabytes of data while on the road. I download books from a wifi spot and listen to what I have stored. Even if streaming were not more expensive than I’m willing to pay, my work takes me to rural areas where streaming is infeasible. This is one feature or two, depending on how you count it, that seems to be a brilliant tool, but isn't quite right. It's a shovel with three handles..WizeManBOBVersion: 3.93

✓ Audio Bible is brought alive by Ronnie MeekThe tones and vocal variety used by Ronnie Meek add to the enjoyment of the Scriptures which comes alive with his voice. Add to this the music used to counter any boredom that might raise its ugly head, I thoroughly enjoyed the 12 sections that the Bible is divided into, which brings me to my first recommendation. We are constantly told that that because of the size of the download it is divided into 12 segments. The listener has to work out which of the downloads start with the books of the Bible. It has taken me many months to work out which book aligns with which book of the Bible in the 12 volumes in the download😩 I would suggest marking some of the downloads with the names of the books they contain, in that it makes it easier to find. But apart from that Ronnie Meeks voice add to the enjoyment of this audio Bible. Many thanks to the very high quality of this product👏👏👏.MosescherringtonVersion: 3.5

✓ Worth a listen butA great idea & I think an approach worth implementing. The book itself was repetitive, slightly condescending with little regard for the neuroscience of behavior change. I wasn’t particularly engaged or motivated by the text/reader. I would have liked more details on the actual implementation of time blocking & scheduling, but maybe I just need to get started and those will sort themselves..MelPTVersion: 3.2.1

✓ Not as good as Fourth Wing - but still fantasticI picked this series up after reading Fourth Wing and looking for something similar (having not read many of these types of books before). Honestly, it didn’t have the same urgency to devour it in one sitting and I didn’t connect with the main to characters until the last 3 hours of the book. BUT, I still really enjoyed the book and can’t wait to see what happens next?.JenninecassVersion: 4.6

✓ Please improve your algorithm for recommendations.I use this app for hours daily. The quality of sound is good. Also great you can now purchase on the app. However It would be nice to have more control of recommendations. The app recommends books I have already purchased? And the same books appear for months on end as recommendations even though it should be clear that by now I am not interested in that book. Also it would be great to be able to remove WAZE from my app..Hogatha_Version: 3.51

✓ Love AudibleI am a Star Wars fan of 45 years, and set my task to once again read all the EU (Legends) books in order. With the help of Youtini’s chronological list, I have been choosing 2-3 books a month to reread. This review only gives 4/5 stars because so many of the older books are abridged and seem to go out of their way to miss really important conversations, thoughts and actions, particularly of Luke Skywalker, who is my favourite hero … but I do own a lot of the actual books, so I go back to them from time to time to find out what really happened! I love the more recent unabridged books and am thoroughly enjoying the full Thrawn Trilogy right now. Best of all, I have a slightly deaf ear due to a childhood injury, and I can hear the books directly through my hearing aid. And nobody knows I’m listening to a great story while at work!.LoraineskyVersion: 4.11.1

✓ For sci fi loversI throughly enjoyed the scientific fiction … and some surprises… I haven’t been so engaged since listening to Rama series. I recommend for like minded SCIENCE and Technology fiction readers. I have read some of the criticisms, and maybe this is not for lovers of perfect literary prose - but i think the sci-fi content balances the scoreboard far in to the positive. Some of the criticisms about the literary clumsiness, like repetition of concepts in single sentences and seemingly disproportionate time devoted to some scenes. I did not notice the repetition, and because I listened while on the move, it may have helped me. I found the seemingly disproportionate time not inappropriate, when considering the writers ‘time dilation’ from a scientific perspective- i won’t explain for fear of giving something away eheh heh). I am reading on… Thanks Stephen, thanks R.C..GrzzzHisanVersion: 3.92

✓ Thoroughly enjoying audible!I am loving listening to great writers and also, with the different offers by audible I have discovered new ones that I am enjoying enormously while I work on my art. The selection of spy, whodunnits and humorous writers in the special offers is excellent. A wider selection of classic authors in the offers would be very welcome by me, as well. The one thing that would make audible brilliant is to add to the special offers the large array of free listening that it offers in the USA. If you were to change the free listening around the way you do with the special offers, including classic literature, a lot of people would still be wanting to buy the books that they have listened to for free. Let’s not forget that many people read time and again their favourite books and Audible is made for people who love reading and don’t have enough time to keep on reading. Thanks Audible!.LobulinaVersion: 3.50

✓ A Little Happier moreso!Having relished Derren's original hard copy of "Happy" I was delighted by the cornucopia of intelligent research and insights that were proffered in the text. I went on to listen further in the audio version on my daily commute, absorbing and mentally ingesting every topic that might alleviate my overactive thought processes on those nagging questions of my own self. How fortunate that Derren furthered indulged us with "A Little Happier" as a sweet dessert for those who wish not to have the guilt of not digesting the original. This time narrated by Derren himself and hoping that there would be no subliminal phrasing that might cause me to crash my car. Yes it took 56 miles from start to finishing the audio version, the original safely with other loved books at home, and felt delighted I chose this very day to listen to it. Now I really ought to break as many habits as I have the many ways I justify my actions, from this refresher. My dear Mother always tells me to KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) and I would hope to think that this is the assurance Derren also gives us in this wonderfully neat edition of his original book..PatentiaVersion: 3.37

✓ Loved it!I am thoroughly enjoying this series 😄 This is the second book of the series so far and I am eager to read the rest of them! This is Mabel’s story, who we were introduced to briefly in the first book along with her other friends, who are also referenced in this one. We also get to read a bit more about Giulia Pepper and follow on with her story a little from the first one. Although this could be read as a stand-alone novel, it makes more sense to have read the previous one first. Kasey Stockton has a truly enjoyable style of writing and all of her stories are clean and wholesome with feel good endings 🥰 I am happy to recommend this book to anyone who enjoys clean regency romance novels. I received an ARC of this book from the author however this in no way influenced my opinion and I am under no obligation to leave a review..NikkiB#Version: 3.50

✓ Great and insightfullyI’ve been looking for works of following one’s own self and own instructions as well as improving my ability to love myself with money. I dream about money consciousness being something new in the world in hearing the book This book gave me aot of things to consider and work with and a blessing to my ears and being. We need more books like this a new future and connection in the world to more conscious aware business owners and entrepreneurs or just living in harmony with money. Through this process I feel it was touching on more than money it was a cross all areas of my life . Great read in trusting one’s own knowing and working with the beings of wealth consciousness.DibaldyVersion: 4.11

✓ Good app but can’t purchase extra creditsLove the app. Downloaded my first book and listened to it over 3 days. I know want to purchase more but apparently I have to wait 30 days to!?! Why? Im an interstate truck driver I would listen to a book if not 2 every week as I’m behind the wheel 55 hours a week. So my choices are go without (which as listening to audio books helps with my fatigue that’s not an option) or just buy the books through apples book store which I really didn’t want to do as they cost more and I wanted all my books on 1 app and they don’t sinc between the two apps as my audible account is in my husbands name as he to wants to downloaf books as we both drive the same truck doing 2up. Support please chance this policy it’s a stupid policy! Other then that I’d be giving a 5 star rating.DenzziiVersion: 3.93.2

✓ Just a little less than perfectFirstly, let me say that I love Matthew McConaughey (MC). I love the way he looks, the way he sounds and the way he acts. What man wouldn’t? He’s cool! I enjoyed this book. In one way, it’s an easy read - it’s like drinking warm cream: smooth and delicious, comforting and satisfying. Did I say satisfying? Well, not quite. Having just finished the book I’m struck by how unsatisfied I feel. Did I want more? Was there some unfinished business? What is niggling at me? I think it’s this. Throughout the book MC is living multiple lives, his own and the characters is plays. He is searching for himself in many ways, examining what it means to be MC. And by the end of the book, it feels like he is telling me that he has found the real MC. It’s like a kind of coming of age. The problem for me is that I didn’t believe it. Maybe it’s because some of his stories within the book are so unbelievable. Did he really do that? Did he really say that? At the end, I wondered whether he was still living a character he wanted to be, rather than himself. Nothing wrong with that - it’s a great character. I hope he brings out a sequel in 20 years. I will certainly buy it because I really want to know who he becomes. He has left me wanting more. Maybe that’s the hallmark of a great book. Can we have a longer book next time please? This book is a little less than perfect. But if I’ve learned anything about MC from his book, I think he would be ok with that..NobbybrownVersion: 3.40

✓ Change for change sakeThe app still plays books and you can download them. Well done, five stars for that. But, I’ve deducted three stars for the new re-design - late June 2019... The app had been absolutely fine. And yet, the decision was made for the default page to be Home, rather than My Library. On the Home page, I have the option to “Pick up where you left off...” but it’s not aligned properly on the screen (I use an iPhone 7 at the moment) and chops off the title next to it. I could pick up where I left off more easily from My Library, and see more titles, to be honest. Next, I can look at “Your recent additions” but again this looks odd and chops off half of the title next to it - the alignment is off again, much like the “Pick up...etc” option. There‘s quite a lot of empty white space that you can enjoy scrolling through to get to recommendations and Best Sellers, but you still can’t buy anything through the app. These are exactly the same as you’d find on the webpage, but just fewer of them and therefore less choice. The change to the Home page default was unnecessary and brings nothing to the app. So, please, just default to the Library page. It’s all there. If I want to look at the oddly aligned Home page, I’ll go there if I need to. Please stop making it the default. It’s not a pleasant or useful place to be. It’s not difficult to buy, or choose, titles from the website. (And the Home page looks just as awful on a 2018 iPad Pro. So there’s that.).HeddieVersion: 3.8

✓ A fantastic non-behavioralist, social justice parenting bookParenting Beyond Power is awesome! If you are looking for ways to ‘be the change you want to see in the world’ and ‘treat others the way you would like to be treated’ here is an great parenting manual for finding ways to do just that, starting in your home. This audiobook brings together the key elements of NVC, collaborative problem solving, unconditional parenting and social justice parenting in a beautifully presented, easy to understand way. I recommend this book to every parent, it truly has something to offer everyone. If you wish to parent differently to how you were parented, this book will help you tread your own path. If you were parented in a respectful way that aligns with your values this book will provide insight into why it can STILL be hard to let go of 'power over' parenting in times of stress. If you currently parent in an authoritarian way this book provides solid research based reasons to consider the alternatives. Even if you read this book and find it is not for you, it will certainly provide food for thought. I found the content that spoke directly to healing damaging patriarchal, capitalist and racist systems (insidious in W.E.I.R.D. societies) super beneficial. I will refer back to this book whenever I perceive a potential disconnect between my parenting and my values. I can’t wait for a book number 2!.Dee kstVersion: 4.6

✓ Thoroughly enjoyableI’d never read any of the Sherlock Holmes stories having never really been interested in older crime solving stories. I tend more towards supernatural or paranormal romance (with the occasional mystery or crime thrown in.) But I really enjoyed Stephen Fry narrating his own publications “Mythos” and “Heroes.” His voice is soothing, warm and entertaining. He does the different characters voices so well, you never mistake a character for another. He just seems to draw you into the story. I was surprised to find I thoroughly enjoyed the different mysteries solved by the famous detective. The thing I liked the most was the relationship between Sherlock and Dr Watson. You felt the genuine love, comradeship and mutual respect between them. The sincere sorrow that Watson felt when Sherlock “died” bought a tear to my eye. The only thing I would like to have seen in this particular anthology, is the stories in a more chronological order. No complaints otherwise..MargDollVersion: 3.38.1

✓ ScepticalWhen my daughter said audible was my Christmas present,I wasn’t jumping for joy, grateful but not excited. I started the Harry Potter series,bought the first two but didn’t read them, then Covid struck, fed up watching day time telly, I started to listen instead, and what a revelation, I had read the books as they came out ,only because my daughters bought them and wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and enjoyed them, so having them read to me, let’s say, a ? was at the back of my mind. How wrong I was, the stories are still very imaginative, but Stephen Fry, brings each and every character to life, his verbalisation of everything within each book, lets you use your imagination to its fullest, I became so enthralled with how he changed each voice, and the twists and turns in the stories, which the movies missed had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I patiently await book 7, and I am suffering withdrawal symptoms till it’s available. Never again will I say,” I’d rather have the book in my hands.” Audible you have a convert..South side grannyVersion: 3.29.1

✓ Can’t wait to get my hands on her next!This was one of those books that you not only savor, but you swap between physical and audio because you can’t get enough. The setting was perfect, the characters were hilarious, and the depth was just right. You follow Marin as she takes on a role she never thought she would be in.. PR and media manager for a rock band. But she not only crushes the position, she gains a crush on a band member. You follow along with the band and crew as they make their way all over the country on tour. You see them banter, you see them prank and you see them fall in love.. or lust. I usually have something to knit pick about whether it’s lack of charter build or creating an atmosphere you feel a part of, but Lisa did nothing for me to knit pick. This world was so well thought out, I can’t wait to dive into every single book I have of hers and also... I really need a prequel to see how Craig and Phoebe started. The only reason I gave this book a 4 rather then a solid 5 was I had a bit of a rough time with the big problem and how quickly it seemed to be resolved, I wish it would have been a little longer and we got to see more effort and what happened to.. patch things up on all accounts. I’m a girl who doesn’t trust easily and loses trust quickly so I have a hard with any story that someone’s forgiven too quickly..GoodvibesgoodbooksVersion: 3.23

✓ Powerful story, really well toldMiki has a powerful story to tell. The book is not always easy to listen to in places but Miki’s frankness and openness about her experiences carries you along with the narrative. Her story feels to me like one that should be heard. The moments of redemption are really very moving and Miki’s description of her relationship with her parents resonated with me as she says in the book she felt it might. The insight into the music industry was really interesting to someone who has no idea about the life behind the productions. And the story of the Lush’s ebb and flow as a band and what it meant to them all was a bit of a revelation to me - a one time fan, who drifted onto other music when I left Uni and settled down. Miki’s relationship with Emma and Chris and the others is happy, funny, snarky at times and ultimately sad, but hearing Miki tell her story felt like it was cathartic for her and it drew me in as the reader. I bought some of their EPs and albums, and I followed their antics in the NME. Had ‘that’ poster on my bedroom wall. I never saw Lush live. I wish had..JulestheteacherVersion: 4.18.1

✓ Interface IssuesAll kind regards to the devs of Audible, I think the purpose of the website is great and it is very useful but the interface is glitching out when I try to sign in and the troubleshooting I have conducted has made no difference whatsoever. My verdict on the utility of the website is bad because I cannot even access my account..Twitteruser101Version: 3.80

✓ Joyce FThis is a very good listen. It gives you very good insights into the benefits of reducing internet use significantly, why it is so addictive and how to overcome it. When you learn that companies like Facebook and Google base their whole model on the attention economy which essentially means the more time you spend on it the more money they make, it makes you think deeply about the amount of time you’re wasting away to these companies and how in years to come if you continue that way your life wouldn’t have changed much, you wouldn’t have achieved anything significant. This book isn’t anti technology as such, but gives you compelling evidence as to how our compulsive use of it is impacting our lives and minds in a negative way and gives you ideas for how you can use it to benefit you rather than allowing it to take away a part of your soul so to speak. A highly highly recommended book! You won’t look at internet and social media use the way same after!.Joo2Version: 3.33

✓ My reviewThis app is really good fore people who like listening to stories while doing homework, drawing or relaxing. in general it is easy to use and the books are also very well presented. I’m always listen to it while I’m drawing it relaxes me. you can change the settings to your liking for instance the speed of how fast they read to you’re and more. Since I’m deslexic it is harder for me to read books so this app is a very useful way of making my life easier in reading I’ve had it for 2 years and have not ones regretted downloading it and if you install it I ashore you that you won’t regret it ether..Mi ja ohVersion: 3.16

✓ Thoroughly researched story told wellI really enjoyed listening to this book. It taught me a lot about so many different things - geography, archeology, anthropology, navigating by stars, sea currents, diet, linguistics, how history is passed down and so on, and how all of these aspects came into play when researching and trying to understand the evolution of Polynesian peoples (from a European perspective). One thing I longed for was a map to look at to understand more fully where all the islands are in relation to each other, though it was well explained how far apart they are and how and why it was challenging for European explorers to discover them in the first place, hence the premise of the book in the first place. I also wanted to see written down some of the Polynesian names and terms to gauge accuracy of pronunciation..Anon # 101Version: 3.17.1

✓ Wow, what a gem.An incredible narrative across the story of one of the world’s best groups penned by one of the world’s best drummers. I’m biased. I was a fan in the sixties, and even a member of the official fan club when I was at school. Saw them many times in a variety of clubs and theatres In London, where I used to live. And now, I live in Salford Quays - close to where Alan and Graham originated. I also had the privilege of working on the promotion of their chart topping 20 Golden Greats album, and recording an interview with Bobby and Tony - who were just so nice and amazing to talk to. When I first arrived up north, I was interviewed in Salford Lads Club for local radio - where there was some Hollies history that I was delighted to talk about. The interview was being broadcast live, so everyone in the building heard it and nodded with smiles when I was finding my way out afterwards. Bobby’s storytelling is riveting. And reassuringly honest. Clearly, the only reason to grab a copy of this book (on Audible in my case) is because the Hollies were part of my life. The same will be true for everyone else who ever liked the group. Even calling them a ‘group’ rather than a ‘band’ will qualify you as a potential reader. The Hollies music is a soundtrack to so many people’s lives, including mine. To listen to how it all happened is pretty amazing. It’s a great story and a great book..The Salford OneVersion: 3.87

✓ Audible BooksI’ve been a member on/off for many years. You pay a monthly/annual fee and get credits based on your subscription. The fee you pay is often less than the price of most audiobooks. You can pay for the book or use a credit. There are lots of reviews, some are fake but most seem to be genuine. I like that you can hear a 3-5 minute sample before purchasing. I have gotten credits refunded for books I was unhappy with, (books I didn't listen to completely). Customer service has been great. I had to discontinue membership for a while and lost nothing during the time I canceled my membership. I kept the credits I already had and all of the books I had in my library. Starting my membership again was easy. I do wish that reviewers would add ore detail instead of simply saying ”I like the book”. That’s not a review. Why do you like/dislike the book? Was it clean, full of profanity, sex, violence? Was this book fit for the whole family? Did the story flow, was the narrator easy to listen to; did they have an annoying voice, were the characters voices distinguishable? That’s a review! A review is meant to help other customers decide if they want to purchase the book or not..OcdknitterVersion: 3.12.1

✓ ScienceThis book challenges your current approach to life. Breakthrough research plus commonsense lifestyle advice lead this author to make some “out there“ conclusions and claims. He makes them fearlessly and with detailed supporting arguments quoting history, science and his own life experiences as well as the experiences of his family. It is a book filled with exhortation, motivation and a call to arms to save the planet. The author does this with great risk. Philosophers, pop psychologists and other scientists both inside and outside his field have reacted negatively to his conclusions. Despite this pushback, which will be exacerbated after the publication of this book, the author pushes on, regardless of this risk. This book could easily go down as the seminal work in the area of ageing and it’s cure. I for one hope it does..KennyelvisVersion: 3.49

✓ Great learning resource and entertainingI’ve used audible for about 3 years. In that time I have greatly expanded my knowledge base on a number of topics while doing menial tasks such as driving, tending to the yard and even while at work. With an extensive range of topics and multiple books on each, it’s easy to find something informative and interesting. I’ve never had a problem returning a book that I had not been satisfied with, even if I had listened to most or all of it. There is also nearly an endless selection of fiction books narrated by some excellent narrators. The way the narrators bring characters and situations to life is very impressive. (My favourite being R.C.Bray) If you haven’t listened to a story told by a good narrator before I’d highly recommend it. I’m very satisfied with audible, for the amount of education/entertainment I receive from an audiobook it’s very good value for money..Mickey P 11Version: 3.16.1

✓ A must readWhat a courageous woman is Misty Griffin. She tells her gut wrenching story of how she, against all odds, finally mustered the courage to blow the lid on the Amish. From the outside world the Amish are a deeply religious people, cut off from the outside world as they supposedly live out their communal lives in idyllic settings of peacefulness. From a life of torture, Misty blows the lid off the Amish to expose the true horror and culture that lies within. She tells of child sexual abuse that is rife among the families who are brainwashed into believing that if they go to the police they will be forever dammed to hell. They believe they are above the law because Police are generally reluctant to get involved, unable to accept the truth, even when a girl attempts to make a report . One of the best books I’ve listened to on Audible..Jedda girlVersion: 4.13.1

✓ Everyone must read this bookThis book changed my life. Bessel gave me so much hope as a trauma sufferer also dealing with addiction and mental health issues. He shared a variety of proven and successful avenues for healing trauma outside of western medicine practices. The psychiatric industry has been failing us greatly and is keeping us sick and at risk. This book gives us agency by providing so many solution based approaches which are holistic and gentle on our bodies and minds. Rather than provide Band-Aid solutions which never deal with the issues at hand he provided insight into how to address the cause of our suffering by leaning in and provided strategic approaches to taking our healing into our own hands no matter where we are in our lives. This has lead me down a new healing journey after years of searching and has given me so much inspiration into new ways of. healing myself in more effective ways that promote growth rather than quash who I am with medications that don’t work..MangtrexcVersion: 4.2

✓ SpareMy heart goes out to Prince Harry, Meghan and their children. I’ve tried to keep an open mind and not fall victim to the propaganda pushed by various outlets and instead read his story for myself. He has endured so much pain and false reporting throughout his young life and listening to him narrate his own story and the recent Interviews he’s done it’s obvious from the way he expresses himself that he’s has a deep empathy with so many but is deeply scared from his experiences from the press and lack of understanding from his family. To be the recipient of so much “hate” on social media is absolutely appalling and good to see that a huge percentage of people who have read his book, actually give positive reviews. For those who haven’t read his book then perhaps those people should keep their negative comments to themselves..Oh4GodsSake!Version: 3.88

✓ Would certainly recommendWorks great on my phone. massive choice of non fiction, and an option to request books. Expensive books, costing in excess of £50, still cost just 1 credit, allowing anyone with little money the opportunity to own books they’d only otherwise get from a library. I can’t rave enough, but maybe I am overjoyed because I have had since 2014 and didn’t get chance to use it, and forgot all about it. I’d set up a direct debit and didn’t even notice the bill go out each month, so by the time I remember to check it out I had a collection of credits to use which feel almost free. Also you can return the books if you listen to them and didn’t like them, and have your credit returned for a new book. I might also add that if you have ran out of credits, the books are also all at reduced prices. The chapters are listed in a menu, there’s a sleep timer, I can’t find anything I don’t like. Would recommend!.Melsopinion17Version: 2.29

✓ Open book is just that! Completely open and raw!Thank you Jessica for opening up your life, your struggles, your truths, fears, and greatest joys! You are truely inspiring. I lost my mother to alcoholism and wish she could have found a way out of the darkness. You gave me some insight into what she may have been going through. I believe she had a very toxic relationship with my step dad that started her drinking, with a very fast and sad progression. You are so very lucky to have such a beautiful husband and children and group of BFF’s and family to support and love you ! We all grow and change and cannot be expected to be the same people we were 20 years ago wanting the same things. I Take my hat off to your honesty and thank you for sharing with the world what a true light you really are!.MisdyholtsbaumVersion: 3.18

✓ Raw and realThis is own of my favourite books of this year. Having had my own business and now working alongside plenty of other owners in order to help where I can, this is probably the most real and honest book filled with the realities of what it takes to create and maintain/sustain a business. Ian narrates the book himself and he sounds like a great bloke. Honest, humble and successful but not afraid to tell you about some harsh realities. Loved it!.CinderBBVersion: 3.56.1

✓ Bring back option to hide finished titles, for 5 Stars.I’ve been an audible member for about 20 years ( whenever the service started). I have well over 1000 titles in my library (most purchase, prior to new system, with free titles). I occasionally listen to portions of one book, before switching over to another (especially, when a desired preorder becomes available). Previously, it was easy to locate books that I needed to return to, by hiding all finished titles. Since the new system was unveiled, this has been reversed. I don’t quite understand the utility of being able to see all titles in your library that you have already completed. Showing titles that you haven’t started is if some use, but it fails to show anything that even has a few seconds played. So if I accidentally tap on the wrong title and get past “This is Audible”, prior to going back and selecting the title I actually want, it will no longer show up as not started. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!! Please fix this for your most loyal members!!! A secondary improvement would be to extend the Apple Watch Complication, so that it will permit control / book selection of titles on your paired iPhone, rather than having to download the book to your watch..WulfemanVersion: 3.36

✓ Too many glitchesRandomly crashes and can’t remember your place. Cannot sync between devices. Doesn’t allow for varying skips forward and back. The free library app is better and the books aren’t outrageously priced..JjjhuujhhyhVersion: 3.4

✓ Abominations is a breath of fresh air and sanityA recent admirer of Shriver, having followed her commentary and analysis of the Govts. Covid response (following authoritarian China’s lead into shutting down society, freedom, and everything we know and need) and assessment of Gender ideaology (creating a fantasy world and luring vulnerable children into it, against the will of parents while bullying everyone by calling them bigots). I’ve enjoyed her fiction writing very much, as incredibly well-researched, humane and clever. This book collects many of her excellent essays and articles over time, showing us how involved she is in interrogating the world we live in; for me it traces how she might translate that exploration and thinking into an expression of what it’s like to live in our world in her fiction. She has whip sharp intelligence, a strong sense of agency and the real human compassion that is sorely lacking in today’s more narcissistic world of cancel culture. Thanks Lionel..Sally T LondonVersion: 3.87

✓ Run Towards the DangerI cannot describe the profound impact this book has had on me. ALL Polley’s essays deeply penetrated my psyche in ways that can only be described as some mysterious, alchemical nectar that has possibly saved my life. I am recovering from a heart attack (2 weeks ago) which required a stent and a cocktail of drugs which have resulted in innumerable side effects, including profound weakness, headaches and dizziness. I have not, historically, responded at all well to pharmaceutical drugs, having already been dealing with dizziness which commenced 12 hours after a Covid booster more than a year ago, a “vaccine injury” for which there is no remedy. Polley’s final essay has given me hope just as I had begun contemplating how much easier it would be to simply die. At this point I have no way of knowing if the strategy of attacking my symptoms will have the effect of healing my neurologically challenged brain in the way that it helped the author, but I am committed to giving it a go. I realize that this review is likely too personal to print, (“TMI”, perhaps?) but if you would be so kind as to pass along my deepest gratitude to Ms. Polley it would be much appreciated. Thank you, Nell Luce.Nell LuceVersion: 3.87

✓ Game changer for parents of young children who miss reading!A huge, and long-standing user of Audible. I used to love reading, turning pages in silence and becoming engrossed in whatever I was reading. Since having a child my reading time has become far more sporadic and often subject to endless interruptions. So I adapted. I listed to wonderful books while I drive around, do the shopping or while cooking. This app is easy to use, reliable and allows me to listen to the same book on several devices. I even have the choice to re-read from a different spot on my iPhone without losing my current place on the iPad if I feel like refreshing a different chapter. I wish all books were automatically created as Audible options. I highly recommend the monthly subscription option. It helps to remind me to keep reading and to make time for at least one new book a month. Great way to make time for yourself again..TaikozfanVersion: 2.27

✓ Beautifully accessible 🥰Thank you for all the beautiful insights into what it’s like being a parent. I have three sons and love them all dearly. I feel fully in relationship with them and feel grateful how often they bring many interesting topics my way. I have also just completed my training as an art psychotherapist and believe in all the concepts that arise in this deeply moving and very accessible book. Your voices in the case studies help them come alive and whilst on my daily dog walks, I’ve learned so much from listening to you on audible, laughing and crying as my poor dog looks at me like I’ve lost it! I know it’s a book I will return to again and again, I’m also recommending it to many of my mates, without whom I could not have raised my boys. It was with their continued love and support, sharing our many flaws and knowing we are only aiming for a ‘good enough’ job, that our shared experiences have created a community for our kids to thrive in. Thanks again 😊.GribbolinoVersion: 3.87

✓ Great, realistic adviceI have read another insomnia help book and it was great too but does focus on CBT-I techniques which can sometimes inadvertently undermine your natural ability to sleep if approached wrongly. This book does touch upon it but acknowledges that this can happen and offers great self help techniques that manage sleep anxiety. I am 3 months into experiencing insomnia and after reading this book this is the most calm I have felt thus far. Give up those sleep efforts and work on trusting your body and making peace with those nights where you do experience u wanted wakefulness! You’ll soon realise that you can have meaningful days even without your ideal sleep which will reduce your sleep anxiety over time and lead to hopefully better sleet. I have set backs all the time but look to address them differently now thanks to this book. It’s gonna be a journey, but a worthwhile one, so keep going ❤️.SophiesoundsVersion: 4.15.1

✓ Wow! Just wow!At the start of reading the book I did find some of the terminology within it quite hard to digest due to the complexity of the words written. I found myself having to stop and reference the dictionary but did write down paragraphs that I did understand for later reference. I also bought the hardback and read it that way for a while for a different experience. By the time I got half way through I felt the need to stop for a while. After coming back to the book and using a different technique of digestion (particularly towards the end) of coming down to my alpha state and with the realisation of reality from a quantum perspective, I was able to absorb every single word. By the time you get to the end your ‘aha’ and ‘holy f$&@k’ will appear. I’m actually pretty excited for you to read this book. Enjoy xx Amanda.Amanda Jane BVersion: 3.75.1

✓ Feels like the inside story of a Game of Thrones characterOne of those books you’ll feel happy to recommend to friends - but more than that - you’ll really want them to listen to this book and talk about it soon. It’s a classic ripping yarn about the main character and his development from travelling trouper to all round magical hero. It’s a real page turner and the whole book seems so much shorter than it’s real length. This is a book that you can listen to anywhere - it’s not one of those you need to really concentrate on like a Rebus novel I’ve had previously. Stick with the first chapters - you will find you are suddenly orientated to the narrative and understand what’s going on. Which is actually very much like real life where you don’t get an introductory set of instructions when dropping yourself into a new situation. I like it that way - and so will you one you get grounded..ChrisDowningVersion: 4.18.1

✓ Not now, not ever. Let’s make it happen.This is a wonderful, comprehensive, comprehensive dissertation on misogyny and how it pervades every aspect of our world and undermines all that women have to offer the world. The barriers we face on the path to gender equality, pave the road we must all take to brake down this institution of misogyny. It highlights the complexity of misogyny when it is viewed with the overlay of race and how much harder intersectional bias makes breaking the misogynistic barriers for women of colour. Thank you to the women who have come before me and highlighted these obstacles and started to break them down. You are inspiring. I hope I can do my part to help break them down further for my two daughters..Dr SerendipityVersion: 3.88

✓ AudibleFantastic app, I found concentrating in reading very difficult after a major illness and then discovered audible. I credit this site with helping me on the road to recovery as I was no longer bored. Now I am well I can read on the car, getting ready to go out, even before I sleep. Put on the timer either minutes then off to sleep. Can download anywhere , anytime. Always have your library with you. Still the best app. Have been using audible for 5 years. Excellent plus they do listen to us and improve the app. A year later and still the best app. A fee more years of using Audible. I paint in my spare time and find listening to books and painting are the best companions. It is great to do two things I love at the same time. Keep up the good work. 😀😀💜.CleoladyVersion: 3.81.3

✓ Born of EarthBy A L. Knorr It was almost a year ago that I read this book, so when I found the opportunity to listen to it on Audible, I jumped at it. I am so glad that I did! With AL Knorr about ready to publish sequels to this book, it was an ideal time to review/listen to it. I have never reread any book as I always then knew what had happened. Life is short and books are many, but as I have aged, l remember only the basics of the story. As I listened to Born of Earth, the vivid writing came to life as if watching a movie and I was in Ireland with Georgie. I was there ten years ago, so pictures were brilliant in my mind of the land and people . i was amazed at how little I remembered of the details which brought the story to life. Listening to the reader was reminiscent of listening to radio stories in my childhood where imagination was able to “see” what was happening. So, I loved every minute of the book as if I had never read it. As Georgie grew to see the Fey and become a Wise, I wished to see Ley lines, and fairy buds, to hear the plants telling of what they can cure, and to sink feet into the earth. To read a story by A L Knorr is to enjoy a well-written book with strong characters, a great plot and a new experience unlike any other. But to listen to that same story is to experience it..Sky78520Version: 3.74

✓ Her life was saved by Rock and RollCincinnati Ohio-where I grew up In the 50’s was like an over stuffed chair, inviting thoughts of comfort but quickly becoming carnivorous, a Venus fly trap for the soul. Across the river in Newport Ky, there were “sepia” record stores, where we could listen to “colored” vocalists and groups ,nightclubs where we, as under age kids, could just walk in and hear the likes of Chuck Berry. I was smitten. This was hope personified. Rock and Roll gave joy and connection, a perfect lens. Turning on that tan Philco radio in our kitchen as I rolled in for breakfast was a daily necessity to turn the day into a rainbow. Jann Wenner perfectly captures his Rolling Stone magazine and the culture it shaped. One could enjoy it strictly from that perspective. Of course he is a great writer. For those of us who read every single issue from start to finish though it is so much more. One could say the book is a memoir but it is a cultural bible of the times. I loved listening to every word. It is a beautifully told chronicle of a few magical decades. It is only Rock and Roll but I like it. Thank you Jann Wenner for sharing. It means more than I can say. You will never be finished ax long as you are breathing,.Hy samokin bo dayiVersion: 3.85.1

✓ Just okayThe first part of the book starts out centering on a family…Jill, David and their daughter, Sofia. Right away, I was annoyed with Jill and sadly, Sophia. Jill is a helicopter mom, her life centers around Sophia and everything else, including her husband, is a distant second. Sophia is a spoiled brat. Jill had a rough upbringing and then a traumatic event happens in their lives which leads to Jill being unattached and distant, as well as, having a hard time relating to many people. The second part of the book is where it picks up. Someone takes Sophia. We also get more into another character, Bea, who has a lot to do with, well everything. I won’t divulge because it would reveal too much. We are also given several snippets of a third character, via her journal. That is the part of this book that I really enjoyed. I pretty much knew right away who all the players were before the author came right out with it. What I didn’t like about this story was all the loose ends left open. There were SO MANY. I feel like the author didn’t give Jill and David their due redemption. I will say this book really was a page turner and I listened to it even when I wasn’t commuting, which is rare. Aside from the way RD finished this book, it was a good story and the narration was A+. Would I listen to it again…probably not..Snelson75Version: 4.7.1

✓ Take time out to ask the big questionsI discovered Joshua via his uncluttering online course and blog and was intrigued to see his new book and subject matter. It’s like a bit of church with some hard realities and observations. I appreciated his honesty (he gets jealous!) and his final questions to ask of ourselves. If you are looking to take the next step towards finding your true purpose then this is a good text to invest in. And via audible it’s the minimalistic way to read his book!.Earth fraggedVersion: 3.72.1

✓ Issue with the new updateI love the app, and the selection of books, but I don’t like that the new update removes the option to sort your library by unfinished books. I have books in my collection that I started a while ago but stopped, planning to listen again later. Now they are very hard to find as I cannot just see the unfinished titles. Can this please be fixed?.CarrollAudioVersion: 3.20.1

✓ Breaking the Habit of being yourselfFinding Dr Joe Dispenza’s work to access my inner world of the Divine has been a source of great gratitude. Through his years of study about the effects of stress on our lives and bodies he have provided scientific evidence of how we can change our reality from destructive behaviours and habits lived in stress to creative mastery over our lives through understanding of quantum physics, epigenetics and the effects on the brain. Dr Joe Dispenza write clearly the dynamics of how this can be achieved through investing our energy into this work through meditation. I look forward to meditation on a daily basis as I am finding that the more I practice this skill I am rewarded with a wholeness and energy that is overcoming years of anxiety, fear and frustration and extreme tiredness..BabychookVersion: 2.33

✓ FabulousEach book in this series has so many stories running alongside each other to give the reader a wealth of interest. I love this detail. Suspenseful, keeping you on the edge of your seat. I found myself listening well into the night to hear the next part of the story. Also some classic comic genius to break the tension. Can’t wait for the next instalment 😊.NzphilandjulesVersion: 4.6.2

✓ Everyone should love booksI love the Audible app because it allows me to enjoy a good book even while driving or other activities that prevent reading a book while doing them. RIF was a program I loved in school, many of my classmates would have me pick out books and they would get them and give them to me because they didn't like reading and knew I loved to do so. At the time I was happy to get more books to enjoy though looking back I wish I had tried harder to share my love of reading with my classmates. My one real gripe is regarding two issues related to playback, the volume max can vary quite a bit from one narrator to another I presume due to production methods or settings so I would appreciate an ability to make the volume louder than currently possible especially when using the built in speaker on a mobile device. The second issue is that when listening to a book in the background and playing any of a number of games that sadly force you to watch ads occasionally to play for free it can sometimes fail to allow restarting the narration after the ads and rather default to any random music file you have on the device..DrathstarVersion: 3.38

✓ Tuesday with MaurieI really enjoy to listening to this and I have read the book and I am not really a person that reads so the aublile books and podcasts are really good for me l have listened to several autobiography and enjoy them some better than others and I always seem to have a break from them and then I go back to them that is just a personal thing listening to Tuesday with Maurie and I watch the film was something a friend got she was only in forties it’s a horrible disease and watching some one go through it is hard to watch how it effects them I found I could relate with some of the ways as it was just like the things my friend went through let’s hope some day a will find a way that it will prolong a person’s life as I don’t know if they will ever find a cure well not in my life time but once upon a time you rarely heard of it but now you see more people with it and I can relate when I see them as I watched my friend fight the disease and eventually losing the battle with it.Boyes boysVersion: 3.75.1

✓ C+ Could ImproveLike the intelligent but unmotivated kid in high school, this app does everything it needs to get a pass mark, however having gained the C+ grade, then refrains from putting in even a tiny bit more effort. Examples of how a little bit more effort would go a long way: - Show the remaining time on books, the second and subsequent times it is performed. Currently just shows ‘Finished’ - Allow sleep timer to be set to any time. Currently only 8 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins etc instance, the second and sub - Allow a variable playback speed option via slider, or just gradients of 0.1x - Make an easy one-click option to change between regions. Currently have to log out, change region, log back in If you think I’m being hard on the app, I am, but it’s only because I know it can do so much better.Danny W 927738Version: 2.33

✓ I’m all ears. I hope someone’s listening as well.Everyone should give audiobooks a try. Audible has helped me enjoy and explore so many more titles and topics (now over 400 in my library) than those dusty, neglected titles stacked on my beside table. Along with a constantly updated and wide array of captivating and entertaining titles, it’s great to share the experience of so many of the great masterpieces of mankind. I appreciate that they are preserved in spoken word form for our future generations. Whilst the above is true I still feel compelled to hold a Star (or two) of hope that someone, who is proud to work at Audible, will take the lead in preserving and presenting some of the many, many fine works of the late great Mr James A Michener. It’s been great to listen to and savour other masterworks like War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, Great Expectations…It’s a very long list. Humanity should hold on to this timeless wisdom. Lest we forget. What is noticeable absent however are other classic titles like Centennial or The Source or Alaska? Like earning the Audible trophy’s within the app and I’m sure the team at Audible like earning rating Stars for this app. Audible will earn another two stars (from me) when they publish some of the works of the mighty Mr Michener. I’m all ears. I hope someone’s listening as well :).Shane_J_GumbootVersion: 3.66

✓ They did a good! App needed workLeaving original review but the app has had most of the listed missing features fixed since. One feature I still desperately want is sharing of book collections so I can recommend some of the 250 books I have read. Several small things need adjusting. Searches don’t take into account the series they belong to anymore. You cannot see which book is next in a series within the app. Downloads in progress don’t show up at the top of the library. Collections can’t be shared. Play speed modifier is no longer a slider, only in 10% chunks which is annoying. The rest of the app is functional, but has plenty of quality of life improvements that are missing..SyvakiedVersion: 4.8.2

✓ Life by Keith RichardsThe hilarious opening chapter sets the feel and themes of what’s to follow and left me shaking my head incredulously. Keith can clearly spin a great yarn. Rich descriptions of his childhood in Dartford, detailed a seeming no man’s land of post war Britain trying to find its way from the old to the new. Keith’s guiding lights were the Chicago blues artists, who faded in and faded out across the Atlantic airways through the antennae of his transistor radio. Together with the influence of his musical family, and a chance meeting with Mick Jagger (who lived in a posher part of town) a partnership was forged that became the Rolling Stones. Keith rambles at times, yet he rambles with a fierce hearted loyalty and insight into the populace of musicians, women, staff and personalities, who came and went from his life; some of whom who also shaped the face of the sixties and seventies. It’s a gripping tale. I loved hearing Keith speak himself - such a rich, gravelly and warm voice - a welcome relief from the monotony of Depp’s narration and the south London accented overkill of the second narrator..JajamnzVersion: 2.33

✓ Kudos to the developersI’m back to loving the app! My original negative review is below. I got a response from Audible developers who instructed me on how to remove the Alexa button. It was actually very simple, but I couldn’t figure out how before, and had even contacted Audible Help (before I wrote the review) but the rep said Alexa couldn’t be removed. So I’m very happy again with this app. And I’d like the Alexa button if it were in a different location in car mode. Here’s my original review: The new Alexa button is annoying, and frankly, a little dangerous. I used to be able to hit the "rewind" and "bookmark" buttons in car mode without looking down at my screen while driving. Now I have to look at the screen to hit those buttons because otherwise I accidentally hit that HUGE Alexa button at the bottom of the screen. (Which interrupts my book.) Super frustrating. Sure, I could use the Alexa button instead, but it takes longer to hit the button and say "rewind 10 seconds" than just hitting the rewind button like I used to be able to easily do. The Alexa button isn't a bad idea, but why couldn't they have put it somewhere else, and not make it so big? This has ruined the app for me. I sure hope they fix this terrible design in future updates. I’ll gladly change my 2 star rating to a 4 or 5 if they do..Aliboo210Version: 3.87

✓ It’s her truthAlthough the listen was a tough story to hear, the book is Britney’s truth in her own words. I am not here to judge her or her family. None of us are them. What I am left with is that mental health and control is incredibly personal. It is up to each of us to take care of ourselves and our lives knowing that relinquishing control to others can be an end to self-control and our ability to condition and discipline ourselves. No matter how wealthy or famous we are, having the right support around ourselves is critical, and Britney laid every detail out in hopes that her kids, family, and friends will understand that she is (especially now) living as she intends. Mental health and wellness is everything and deep lapses into darkness can overshadow our confidence, drive, and make our previous accomplishments fade. Drugs are so powerful that we need to be in control and have an understanding of a prescription’s role in our health journeys. If nothing else, I know that is what I got from this book, and I hope others heard it too. Michelle Williams did a great job just reading and not overdoing the narration. The book just needed to be read plainly, and I commend her for how she did it..Girl PlayaVersion: 4.11.1

✓ A serious new problem (resolved) (Jan 2023)Edit: if you have the problem described below, completely deleting the app and then reloading it seemed to cure the problem for me (though initially the app refused multiple times to sign in -saying no internet-, despite a strong signal ) Original problem: The latest update has introduced a serious problem. The player seems to demand an internet connection in order to play a book, even a downloaded one. Even with an internet connection it often refuses to play a book. This can happen even after just pausing a book to change room. On trying to press play, the book position is now a blank and the app refuses to restart play, even from the library screen. Once I finally manage to get it to play something, it has completely lost the last played position- so I need to fast forward and rewind searching for the right place. Hopeless. A brilliant and essential app has become almost unusable. Please address this quickly..Zoony LazoonVersion: 3.88

✓ Don’t bother waste of timeI heard that this app was really good (from youtubers my first mistake!) and it’s a waste of time I brought a book to listen too. that’s a massive issue as there is no buy button you have to jump through hoops to find that option and when you do finally get that it doesn’t let you listen to it. it will only let you listen to the sample which was 3 minutes and then you must buy to get more funny thing it I already brought it... Don’t waste your time.JonahardVersion: 3.19

✓ AwesomeVery good book was really easy to understand it, you see I had an encounter with the Lord in my dream back in 2020 December after reading the book “Spirit, Soul and Body” by Andrew Womack. and in that dream Lord Jesus appeared and made me encounter my very own new creation spirit It was like a treasure hidden inside of me it was awesome to see and experience my brand new self my new creation identity, so many revelations opened up in my mind as I was staring with excitement, joy and awe at my spirit and Jesus’ spirit. There was no difference between my new creation spirit and the Spirit of Christ then my mind aligned with my spirit and experienced the mind of Christ which I already had in my spirit which was soo amazing it’s exactly what this book means by destined to reign. It’s another level! Praise Jesus for that gift of righteousness that he died to give us, it’s a truly an amazing gift, and thank you pastor Prince for this book it’s truly amazing..God_ begotten_1Version: 3.76.3

✓ Must Read for all who seekThis is quite simply one of the best most confronting and horrific books I have ever read. I have averaged a book a fortnight for several years and this stands in the top few. If you are a fan of Napoleon Hill this will blow your mind. If you are not this will blow your mind. I have taken 100’s of pages of notes and doing all I can to implement the ideas in this book and it has changed my life on so many levels. Its horror lay in the truth that which I knew but could not explain. The greatness comes from intrinsic deep answers that come when you hear them and you will hear them. If you don’t then you are not human. This book is for anyone seeking greatness in themselves. It’s dialogue seems to be aimed at Men, but mums, wives and sisters and girlfriends would benefit greatly from this great book..ScottyBakersVersion: 2.32

✓ Perfect, just perfectAll too often The Artist felt like so many of the amazing but flawed; let down but inspiring; and brutalised yet compassionate young people I encounter at work. Whole passages read like the stories I’ve been told and lives that I had the honour of being let inside of, that it was impossible not to wipe away a tear as I recognised them. They resonated with an honesty and empathy for these amazing people that we all ignore stave for the slight tightening of our grip on our bags or children’s hands as we walk on by. This level of insight doesn’t just happen. It takes work, dedication and passion for your world. More importantly it takes a humanity that can’t be faked. Trent so clearly loves our beautiful city of Brisbane, but not unconditionally. He sees the flaws too, and there is nothing more loving than holding up that mirror and then pouring all that love into page after page of flawless eloquence and emotion..TravelscribeVersion: 4.15.1

✓ More creditsI have been using audible for nearly a year now and I can say it has without a doubt opened my mind up to another universe that I hadn’t known about til now, I highly recommend it to anyone who loves books but either doesn’t have the time to physically read them or even has issues concentrating on reading print like myself. This app has changed my life I recommend it to all of my friends regularly and with the subscription you get a new book each month. One suggestion I would have for the makers is possibly adding an option to buy credits in bulk for cheaper prices, sometimes I want to read a new series of books but find myself not wanting to waste credits/$15 on books between 5-10 hours as I can finish that in a day or so, if I had the option to buy more in one go I wouldn’t find myself skipping series that have shorter books at the beginning. Aside from that it’s basically flawless in my eyes, keep up the good work guys!.Wilko423Version: 3.5

✓ Save your eyesTruthfully speaking, I have never been a fan of reading. This is a bit ironic being I hold a MSBA in business. But then after discovering Audible, wow I’m amazed with all that I am listening to. In my profession, I’m on the computer several hours in any given day. So by days end the last thing I want to do is pick up a physical book and read. Seriously, I use to turn articles into PDFs , use the computer ‘listen to’ feature, bout music in the background and write notes for my class. An occasional glass of wine certainly helped. One podcast for a required class (book was online) the professor who narrated the book was so monotone you’d fall asleep. By the end of the class session in the podcast I would have a great nap. So instead I went to the gym, Wales on the treadmill and stayed awake. The pint is that wa 14 years ago and technology as well as people’s skill have evolved over time for the greater good. I would especially live to thank audible for creating this platform and the many authors and narrators who provide valuable content. I’m constantly inspired and appreciate being an Audible ‘Superfans.’ Thank you from the bottom of my heart..TropiqueInCAVersion: 3.41.1

✓ Better than singing out loud!!Used to listen to music while I was out walking, but then often found myself singing along out loud - not good for those around, so tried listening to audiobooks and was hooked from the start. I now don’t need to worry about singing out loud, but can’t guarantee my facial expressions don’t make people wonder what I am listening to, as I get engrossed in the story line, I have even Caught myself saying “Oh no!” Or “Good” but hopefully people will just think I’m having a phone conversation. Basically what I am trying to say is give audiobooks a try, you get the first book free, like me you might become hooked. I’m have certainly listened to more books lately than I would have read, some books I might not otherwise have read and found them compelling listening.. my only suggestion to anyone giving it a try, listen to the sample first, that way you know whether you are going to be able to listen to that persons voice for a number of hours. I did return one book simply because I hadn’t done that and just couldn’t get away with the readers accent..Geordie CapVersion: 3.16.3

✓ New upgrade horridThe new upgrade made me have to adjust my text size so I could read which chronological numbers I have as part of multiple series. For some reason now when I click into a ‘book’ with multiple separate chapters/episodes (already annoying as they stop playing after each episode and won’t play the next one) it comes up with double the chapters. One each of each chapter, one as downloaded the other not, like an inaccurate shadow. Please go back to the clearer format and please add the facility to queue books to play one after the other automatically. Most of the books are fantastic..MibissVersion: 3.18

✓ It’s great, but…Love audible. I’ve happily listened to over a hundred books, again and again. It’s great, but for one thing: You must be online, to listen to a book that’s stored locally, on your phone. I know, that’s the way most apps are, but again, it’s stored right there on my phone! There’s no doggone reason it shouldn’t be able to store a couple bytes of data for a bookmark and let you listen when you’re offline or heaven forbid you drive through a data dead zone. When finally the marvelous world of high speed digital data returns, at that point audible can joyously reconnect with the mother ship and sync all the data needed to keep all your metrics and ability to listen across other devices which I never have to do. “We’re sorry, a problem has occurred,” and the book starts over. I have a huge collection of screenshots that I habitually take to make sure I save my place. Please. Allow temporary offline listening! It’s those times especially when I need a good book. That’s the one thing “in my book” that would elevate audible to a truly perfect listening experience! But really. It’s great. Listen to literature. Expand your mind..Dolphinboy02056-2Version: 3.93

✓ Finding MeViola Davis is incredible!! An incredible actor, person, mentor. I love love love listening to her recant her childhood, her life. The raw truth, the struggles, the pain, tragedy, disappointment, fear. The FORGIVENESS to her abusive dad. I cried a million tears because I was so touched that she was able to build a loving relationship with her dad despite it all……He knew she truly loved him unconditionally and left this life with that knowledge in his soul. It reminded me of my own dad 😭and our relationship. The courage to tell her story the good bad and the ugly. And there were plenty of ugly events that many would not survive. The love for the family despite their short comings. The sincere prayer to God to bring her Julius, the love of her life. Owning her roots and who she is, where she came from and where she is now. Not forgetting any of it. Ohhhhh, the trip to Africa. Gaining affirmation from the Mother Land that she is SOMEBODY…that we are all somebody and figuring out who that somebody is in this cruel world and taking a dignified stand. Standing tall as a beautiful, dark skinned sister, beautiful inside and out!! What an inspiration. Viola stated “The Purpose of Life is to Live It”. I’m so very inspired to live my life to the fullest, as tomorrow is promised to no one. Thank you Ms. Viola Davis….thank you. I loved it all. ME.Black PowetVersion: 3.75.1

✓ Design this app for humans!!!The app is pretty bad right now! I’m frustrated and annoyed that I have less accessibility since I updated, 15 mins ago. Navigating to an author I like is not possible from a book page or my library, I have to go type the name in search now. I can’t see my credits anywhere, I think I have 2, but I can’t tell by looking anywhere and the help page seems to be for a previous version of the app as it references non existent buttons. I can’t tell if the book I’m looking at is part of a series, book 1, or book 10? I have dabbled in app design in uni, by no means an expert, but it looks like audible is taking a nose dive in user design by oversimplify to the point of being too difficult to search for a new book to listen to. Why would you give people less navigation and access to information?.Terameer91Version: 3.41

✓ Most used app on my phone by far!!Download Audible now and you won’t regret it!!! I have been a listener since early 2012 and have been addicted ever since. I love the never ending expanse of books on a huge range of subjects. The vast majority of narrators are superb but I always sample a book before I purchase because a wonderful book can be completely ruined by a poor narrator. I love that you can return a book but I don’t think I’ve ever used that function. Some of the new podcast are great as well. It is a little annoying that you can buy a book straight from the app but have to go to the main website, but it doesn’t take more than a minute or so. Can’t say enough good things about Audible (I have even got friends and family addicted also!) All in all is a brilliant app and the amount of free promotion and word of mouth praise I think I should be on the payroll!! Free book by any chance?!! (Worth a try!) 😉 Download Audible now and you won’t regret it!!!.Dean's mateVersion: 3.2.1

✓ Hate new App front pageAudible app is definately in my top 5 apps I go for on a daily basis on my iPhone and iPad. First thing when I get in the car I select my latest book to listen to. When I'm at my desk I set my phone on it's dock and continue 'reading' while I work and the same goes when I'm cooking. I use this more than iTunes nowadays. It isn't perfect - I don't download to my phone anymore because usually I get an error message after it's downloaded the first 5-10% of a book, and then just stops - nothing will get a download past the first 10% no matter how I tweak the settings. So now I just download to my Mac and drop it into iTunes, to load up when I sync next. It's a bit of a nuisance but.... This never used to happen, just since 2 or 3 revisions ago. I can live with the inconvenience though. What I couldn't live without now is the App itself - it's so convenient to listen to a book rather than have to give a book your whole attention as with a paper book or eBook - although I read plenty of them too. My only real hate is the ‘dashboard’/home page the app starts on now. I’m not interested in whatever it has to say...all I want is my Library when I open the app..JazztykeVersion: 3.38.1

✓ Love audible but. No in app purchase! No category/genre filter.I want a one-stop shop app but... 1. hate that I can listen to a sample but can’t download from the app. My kindle lets me buy a book in the app - just want the same from audible. Including displaying the price i will pay in my country- not $US as currently occurs. 2. Sometimes I want to listen to specific genre in my purchased library like crime or sci-fi. I can’t filter/display by category/genre, only by recent/author/title. Please add this function to improve usability. 3. Hate that I can’t get entire series due to publishing rights, especially when it is the earlier eg 1st or 2nd in the series! 4. Once in a book it is great! Love bookmarking & sleep timer. Audio is excellent too..Sven2620Version: 3.1.1

✓ EnlightenedI found myself through many parts of this book, writing down quotes that really stood out to me. I don’t think I’ve read a book this long in years, but somehow bother the writer and reader make the story flow so easily, that even as I was coming to the end, felt as though I was only halfway through. At many points I felt enlightened by the range of perspectives from both Lori and her patients. All in all, I would recommend this book to even therapy skeptics, because it made me think, “Hey, everyone could benefit for some therapy.” Such a great book. Can’t believe how much I learnt through the anecdotes told throughout. I truly do feel enlightened after reading this these past couple of weeks..Loopylala1999Version: 3.24.1

✓ Updates delete current infoIt's 3:30 am. Another nightmare wakes me. I reach for Audible on my iPad to distract my mind and help me find sleep. The usual library list is missing when I select 'cloud'. The two books I had going, one for sleep, the other for migraines gone from 'device'. The last thing I wanted to do was to have to wake up, rediscover the password, sign out of into my audible account so I could sign back in, refresh, and download both books again. If it were a migraine I'd woken with (and I do frequently) I wouldn't have a hope of seeing well enough let alone have the brain power to do what I've just done. Please, please, please, please, stop making signing in and out a condition of updating the app. I thought automating updates made life easier but it hasn't with Audible. That was March 2019. Of course, once I put the login details in it worked as usual. July 2019 and Audible app tries to open but shuts down almost immediately. Was there an update? Can't say it's a password issue since it's not open long enough. I don't how to live with out an Audible book in my daily life. :((.RellativeVersion: 3.1.2

✓ OutstandingAudible is the best subscription service I’ve ever known. I’m so happy with it. I’ve subscribed for 3 years now and I find it great value with the monthly credits and excellent choice of books. Ideal for me as I’m always on the move, whether driving or walking or some other activity or chore, I rarely have five minutes to sit down with a good book. With audible I can keep my brain ticking and keep everything going at the same time. I often struggle to complete lengthy academic books ( my attention span can be limited) but with audible I’ve devoured and absorbed so many books. I’ve listened to more books in three years than I’ve read in a lifetime. I have a huge thirst for knowledge just haven’t got the time or the patience to sit down long enough. So win win for me with the ingenious idea of an audio book. If you haven’t guessed already I love love love audible :-) Outstanding service *****.Monica6mikidaVersion: 3.30

✓ Needs data to listen tooI bought up to 100 audiobooks in 8 years of being a member. Love to listen to a book when I shop, walk, drive or clean at home. I used to download it on my many devices and change books to one I prefered depending on the time of day, but with roaming data off, because I don’t need data when the book is already on my device… right? Wrong ! Nightmarish damnest thing. What’s the use of downloading it then ? Lost one star because the app wants to track my every move. Would lose 2000$ worth of books if I were to cancel, but I am thinking about it..Khellendros8411Version: 3.90

✓ When time is moneyI really am enjoying audible as I drive to and from work. It has changed my life and I feel I can benefit so much despite being short on time to sit and read. Now I love getting into my car to drive to work as I look forward to what I will hear. Extremely well read, engaging are two words that come to mind. Professional and on topic with good quality sound makes this an amazing platform. Thank you! Daisy.Daisydog04Version: 3.11.2

✓ Opposites attractFlirting with Forever is Book four in the Dirty Martini Running Club series. This is Nora’s happily ever after and although this is the fourth book in the series, I totally feel that this could be read as a standalone. This is an opposites attract and single dad trope. Nora is everything that I love in a heroine; she is strong, independent and fierce! She has made her own family with her friends and would absolutely do anything for them. She has just purchased her very first home and our hero, Dex, and his daughter live next-door. The first relationship that I fell in love with in this book was between Nora and Riley, who is the daughter of our hero. Every little girl should have a Nora in their life! Nora became a confidant and good friend, with wonderful advice for Riley. As for our hero, I love that Nora thought that she could flirt her way into Dex’s life and keep things casual but Dex turned her advances away because he didn’t want it to affect Riley. When these two finally came together it was magic! I loved everything about this book especially the Easter eggs and the Husband Gang! The author outdid herself once again! The audiobook was fantastic! Stephen Dexter and Vanessa Edwin brought Nora and Dex to life and it was total perfection!.L. MccombieVersion: 3.92

✓ A relatable life storySelma Blair, you have such a relatable story to so many women of my generation and (I’m sure) for every generation before and to follow. I saw myself in you in so many ways… childhood innocence, navigating teenagerdom, the vulnerabilty, relationships and all the lessons that come with it all. Highlighting to us all that we never stop learning and relearning throughout our lives. As an actor who has grown up parallel to me, I never realised that you were actually growing up in front us all, experiencing such similar anxieties, anguishes and adversities that we all face. You have emerged like a butterfly with such grace and composure… The message I have taken away from your story is to keep going and keep growing and learning, despite what is thrown at us in this crazy old world. The best part about listening to your story on Audible is that YOU told the story to me… straight from the horses mouth. With all of the raw emotion, laughter and tears. Thank you, and please keep writing… it really is your true calling. 🙏❤️.Juzzy1973Version: 3.75.1

✓ I Love Audible...But...I’ve had Audible for nearly 5 years. I started as a way to help me get back to reading since physically reading was somewhat limited by reality. But now when I walk my dogs, run errands, go to the work related matters, drive for a long road trip, ride my bicycle, or even work in the kitchen, I always make sure to have books to listen to. My library has at least 300 by now, and I love seeing it grow. I also love the whisper sync for Kindle which lets me read or listen. I also love the integration with my Alexa devices. I can go from room to room without wasting my phone battery, and have her keep reading to me. Here are my only two recommendations:1- this is the most important. Please for the love of all that is holy let us organize our books by subject matter/ category or whatever we call it like we can in Kindle! I need to do this on my PHONE as I cannot scroll through the ALL my books to find old books I’ve forgotten are even there. I need to put them by category. Please please please do this most basic thing for your subscribers. 2- please have more whisper sync and more affordable ways to purchase kindle after purchasing the audible. Thank you..Rim aVersion: 3.11.1

✓ Have No FearAfter listening to this audible with Joyce Meyer it made me understand my fears I have with calling my clients. Listening to scripture made me do it anyways- the Lord is on my side. I have been listening to Joyce’s sermons for over a decade and have purchased some of her books. “Do it afraid ,” is by far my favorite audible I will buy this book to keep on my shelves for reference. Being in sales can be challenging when you get a lot of “No’s by people over the phone, would make me want to quit! But listening daily to Joyce about other normal everyday people with their fears and overcoming them with the help of my Lord Jesus opens my eyes, to see how little my fears are. I would say to myself- just call the first 10 people - then it would be 20 people, then 50 - after my calls were made and I completed the task with the help of the Lord Jesus it would not be as bad as I thought. I would say a little prayer~ Thank you Lord that you are always here by my side helping me build my business and to keep my accountable in my daily tasks- in Jesus name Amen. Thank you Joyce Meyer for writing this book, and teaching me the scriptures in the Bible to help me daily do it Afraid but Not afraid anymore 🙏🏼 . Lillian from Los Angeles.Lwisdom69Version: 3.85.1

✓ App needs workFrustrated that the app layout has changed again and now the car button is where the chapter one was for *years*. I now hit the car button constantly and it’s very annoying, especially given I don’t drive, but I do want to look at the chapter list every single day. An older review of mine is below, I’m leaving it as the sentiment still applies even though the specific issue does not. [old review: I LOVE audible, but their app developers are too hit and miss. Every time everything works well, they do something to add a bug or make a detrimental change. This is a pattern that has persisted over years. Currently, even if you turn off or change the sleep timer, it still turns off at the original time you’d selected. This is frustrating and made further so by the fact that the app has had multiple updates since this bug was introduced (including at least one that claimed to fix it) and yet it remains. I’m sorry to be so critical, but I think they need a new development team. Whenever I get a version that works, I’m super reluctant to update, feeling as if it is likely to go terribly wrong. This lack of confidence in an app that accompanies such an otherwise brilliant service is such a shame.].Miko MayerVersion: 3.92

✓ One of my Top 3 Apps- BUT...I love my Audible App & use it daily. There really is something incredibly special & satisfying about hearing your favourite stories brought to vivid life by a talented narrator. My job involves spending all day looking at a computer screen so my eyes struggle to cope with the added strain of reading on top of work- my audible app means I can still emerge myself in so many of the literary worlds I love. My ONE complaint? Since the last 2-3 versions have been released, sometimes I can’t get newly purchased books to download. REALLY annoying. Most of the time (90-95%) I just wait a day or so & the problem fixes itself. Once or twice now I’ve had to delete the App, shut down my phone & then RE-install the App again once I’ve turned my iPhone back on. This seems to be a recurring theme in a lot of the most recent reviews- wish they would fix whatever bug it is, because otherwise this App is the best thing to happen to my ability to keep reading for enjoyment in a long, long time!.LynMac87Version: 3.42

✓ Incredible TruthKilling Comparison by Nona Jones is refreshing, brilliant, and most of all helpful. Nona’s personal stories sealed it for me. She exemplified what Christians should be doing, sharing their pain with others to help them see that they are not along. There were so many one liners that she shared that was etched in my heart that I will remember all the days of my life. There were times, I actually got chills because her points were life changing breakthrough for me. We are going to either allow comparison to inspire us or expire us and I am choosing the formal. I always say comparison is like kryptonite to Superman, it zaps one of their power. Well Nona gives you the tools to take your God-given power back. Powerful book. As I listened to her, I found myself not saying that I wish I was more like Nona. I was thinking that I am so inspired by Nona and I want to step into my greatness just like she did. It’s a moment by moment choice. Nona, girl!! God used you. Thanks for your obedience and your love for God’s people. I hope one day, No I pray that one day our paths will cross so I can give you a big hug and thank you personally for giving me the tools to recognize, embrace and reframe toxic comparisons. God bless you. Marian Favors..Fav MarianVersion: 4.7.1

✓ Loses my placeI love listening to books and have been enjoying that there are so many available on audibles. I keep encountering problems though...I prefer to listen at 1.25 speed and it reverts back to 1.0 with every pause. I’ve learned I must bookmark frequently because I will undoubtedly be at the beginning of a book no matter where it left off (it divides books into fours and each of the 4 has chapters 1-11 or so, so book 2 has chapters 1-11 too instead of 12-21 making it close to impossible to figure out where you are...at minimum very time consuming.) and have to listen to recognize whether or not I’ve been there yet. Also, I’ve learned to listen to what chapter the narrator names just so I will be able to find my soon to be lost place in the event that the bookmark too fails. The version of the app that comes up on my iPhone quickly doesn’t have bookmarks, so I have to hit the home button, find the actual app and only there can I reset the speed and set the bookmark or retrieve a bookmark. I find the most frustrating thing is that it keeps returning to the beginning of the “book” I was in instead of the place in the chapter..RosieNizVersion: 2.29

✓ Rising out of hatredAn amazing account of personal transformation. I too grew up with a racist father, surrounded by all of the rhetoric in this community. Awful. I love the courage it took for Roland-Derek to challenge his indoctrination and to find the strength to cut ties with beloved community, even family. That is the hardest part. For real. He said there is guilt in the interviews I’ve seen of his regarding what he helped create. Well, that was happening anyway. The good he has created through his total honesty, vulnerability and accountability - and willingness to speak publicly about it - stands taller and provides more light than any darkness the white nationalist... movement could ever create. He is a light bearer, and it is especially powerful and illuminating BECAUSE of his history. Roland-Derek provides an example of someone to challenge and think for himself within a fear-based, constraining movement. My hat is forever off to this gentleman, a man of TRUE wisdom and bravery while surviving the very human heartbreak of leaving a beloved community that no longer serves. He and Alison are putting their lives on the line by speaking out. I am grateful to Eli for penning this book, and all the others willing to allow their names into this story. Your courage and truth DEEPLY inspires me..TrithseekerVersion: 3.35.2

✓ Inspirational GraceThank you Michelle for sharing your journey with such humility and grace. As a Tongan Palangi woman in New Zealand, I have been inspired by your family’s courage and integrity.

Thank you, thank, thank you. ‘Ofa lahi atu, Sally Dalhousie.Sally DalhousieVersion: 3.70.1

✓ Wonderful and frustratingI love being able to listen to books while i do chores or excercise. It’s true, I miss some of the detail because of my multitasking, but I’m far too restless by nature to sit down to read a book from cover to cover. This way I get to absorb a lot of books. And those that are read by their authors can be especially captivating. Wow! What a privilege! On the other hand…. I find a number of things really frustrating. Most of the books that interest me are non-fiction. I used to buy the kindle book and get the whisper sync narration. Being able to look up specific content was brilliant! I could also annotate and highlight passages in a much more natural (granted, familiar) way. However, for some reason whisper synch isn’t available for many books. Also, Audible’s books almost never have the original chapter titles, just numbers. Which is a nightmare for trying to find a passage again. I’d also like more options for navigating and replaying sections. It might sync across devices, great, but if I’d just played a passage to a friend on my iphone, it assumes that’s where I am and lose where I was unless I’ve made and annotated a clipping or changed the synch settings. Finally, I’d love it if I could set the sleep timer for a chapter, not have it fade out randomly in the middle of a sentence..MoonhornVersion: 4.6.1

✓ Thank youI just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story with the world. I had a totally different upbringing to you. I was raised in a loving family that always empowered me and always told me how special I am. I went through life without a care in the world never pushing myself. I never studied as hard as I good, I never worked as hard as I could. It’s made me soft. Over the last few years I have become aware of my own flaws and have been actively changing my life and habits in order to reach my true potential. By listening to your story and seeing how much you suffered and kept going, it has made my efforts seem minuscule and I thank you for it. Just like you say, it is when we get comfortable that we get soft, and just because I have become better than I was it does not mean I have become everything I can be. Thank you for reminding me to always stay hungry and to keep pushing myself. God bless you..SpylefkaditisVersion: 3.2.1

✓ A journey of emotional delights!Having a condition like dyslexia can make reading exhausting. Audible is a excellent tool and made the experience easy but saying that I loved loved Sharon Gless reading her memoirs to me!! It gave it that much needed personal touch. Sipping my coffee intently, with a crippled up tissue in my hand whilst listening to Sharon open up, was unique. As if she was sharing every detail of her life with only me…huh wishful thinking! Sharon literally takes you inside her life, from childhood to menopause. The journey is a immense emotional rollercoaster of a beautiful classy lady. However saying that Sharon is probably one of the only Hollywood stars who has not allowed fame to distort her respect for her fans or the general public. Anyone would be lucky to have this incredible bio as part of their book collection. I urge everyone to experience Sharon’s story, you wont regret it and I can guarantee you will fall in love with the author!!.Nay411Version: 3.78.1

✓ Total Reset: Realigning with our timeless blueprint for livingThis is a brilliantly researched and written book which clearly uncovers and explains the wisdom of the First People of Australia. Having lived and worked in the Kimberley for over 5 years spread across two decades I resonate with, and greatly appreciate the blueprint layed out for us in this book. I read the book last year and it shed great insight on my journey and the sharing of my story. Mark Coles-Smith’s reading of the book is so engaging and in character that it took me back to the days when I sat down under a Mango tree with the Traditional Custodians and listened to their stories. This book takes you on Country, wraps you in its magic and gifts you with timeless wisdom on how we can walk together to create a harmonious sustainable world when we realise we are all one!

✓ EDIT one of my most used apps.EDIT: Thanks so much for the response, team. I updated the app and am so relieved. I can’t tell you how much I was missing listening to my books. So happy it was just a bug! Definitely giving the app 5 stars overall! I LOVE my audiobooks. Audible was one of my very top used apps, as I have a hard time focusing on tasks around the house/work/etc without some sort of sensory input. I have it running almost all the time. The last update ruined the whole app for me. I live way out in the middle of nowhere with no wifi and only the most tenuous connection to the data network. Suddenly, after updating the app, it won’t play any of my DOWNLOADED titles without an internet connection. What the heck is the point of taking up my phone storage space downloading all these books, if I now can’t even play them from my phone?? I am so disappointed, as I can’t listen to any of my favorite books at home anymore because I can’t find a place to connect enough to start the chapter. I know I’m just one random human to a huge corporation, but please, please, please, fix this. I am already missing my books acutely. It’s so disappointing to not be able to play my selection of downloaded books..ProcyonLenVersion: 3.90

✓ Loved itI had to read/listen to this book in a day, a mixup with a book group title. I was very moved by this book due to the fact that trans people are generally hated or feared. To my knowledge I don’t know any trans folk, I do know that I wouldn’t fear or hate them.I look at the mix-up as I think of myself dealing with a possibility of being deaf one day, it runs in the family. I also have the fear of being blind, I am low vision due to measles attacking my optic nerves. It’s no fault of the person who’s born with something. These things didn’t happen in the womb of my mother, or did they. It could have just been the destiny of the egg I was formed from. The book group had a lively discussion and all were sympathetic that the characters lives were difficult, mainly through their own feelings in the body that got mixed up. We have read many of Jodi Picoult books we have read in the 23 years we have been meeting, a switch from the library, to someone’s home happened early on, no wine is allowed in the library. I plan on adding Jenny Boylan to my list of authors to check out. Thank you both for coming together to educate us and sending us on a journey of discovery!.Cicely 1570Version: 4.13.1

✓ Handy for listening on the moveThis app would have got five stars from me but for one major hiccup, the thumbnails for the library don't contain the books number in a series. I have listened to stories that were the last in the series because of this. Many people like me listen whilst out walking, jogging or cycling. We download the series in advance and go to the next book while out. This app does not help. Other than that it's perfect. Another problem is the hit and miss way that the program picks up where you leave off listening on other devices. Typically when moving from listening via Echo to the phone. Sometimes the software recognises that I had listened elsewhere and asks if I would like to carry on where I had left off on the other device and sometimes it doesn’t and I have to search out the location physically. This can be a nuisance when in a hurry. As I said before it is a brilliant app for listening on the go..Mongrel1999Version: 3.23

✓ Frustrating despite great UII like the UI of the Apple Watch app. The big play/pause button in the middle works great. I like how I can slide the same button to the left to rewind. Good design. However, I’ve deleted the app. Why? Because it does not remember where I was and keeps going back to the beginning. I cannot stand it. It’s just too frustrating. This lack of position remembering and syncing with the iPhone completely ruined the user experience despite the good UI design. I’ll use the app again only if this fatal defect is fixed..Vocab.com LoverVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Brave for sharing your side of the storyThank you for sharing your story Harry, can’t imagine what life in this prison has been for you. It’s a personal story, a true insight into the institution. I can’t even begin to imagine what this weird life has been for you, for losing your beloved mother in the public eye without any help and support to process the trauma, but you have been brave enough to escape, even then you are still persecuted and judged for leaving it and telling your side, the true side. You did not choose this life, so how dare people scold you for being privileged and telling it. I loved listening to Spare, in Harry’s own voice, it’s a very personal account. Thank you thank you for being authenticate, we need more people like you!.LidsliVersion: 3.89

✓ Time travel but not as you know it.I’m a huge fan of time travel books and have read or should I say listen to most if not all genres around this subject and therefore reading the reviews of this adventure I thought I would get my toe into this the pool once again to which end I was extremely satisfied with this version of time travel the author is as good a wordsmith is not better than many of the more prominent well-known and expected authors of this genre likewise the reader (this will become obvious if you read the book) performs his role superbly to which extent on occasion I thought there was more than one male voice that story is very portable and perhaps like many people who enjoy time travel one believes oneself or hopes oneself might one-day become a Time Traveler in this case it offers a more exciting and realistic proposal. Please forgive any grammatical errors as I am dictating this as I drive to work.IloveabersochVersion: 3.4

✓ Finally know what I'm here to doI've been a seeker all my life. A seeker of higher truths and purpose. Life has become particularly challenging lately making it very uncomfortable to live as I have been- Connected heavily to the external world and taken on a merry little roller coaster ride based on daily occurrences, experiences and world events. The answer is to go within. Enter through the body into your eternalness. Enter through meditation into a place of support, calm, peace, bliss, the unknown, the unfamiliar, unlimited possibility. Thanks Joe for this amazing road map to my inner place of peace, connectedness and my true nature. It's working and I will practice daily. Can't wait to do one of your week long events. I really needed this right now..Clan ratVersion: 3.81.3

✓ Jews Don’t CountI only heard about this book because David B was interviewed over the Whoopi Goldberg suspension. There are many worthwhile stories to illustrate his point and the hierarchy of prejudice clearly explained. As one who grew up in the Troubles in Northern Ireland, again it didn’t matter if you were an atheist, you were still either a Catholic atheist or a Protestant one. There was a small Jewish community in North Belfast- I believe they were expected to take a side too. When listing the ‘isms’ I always included sectarianism to cover religious intolerance although I realise now that’s not quite the correct word.( I googled it while reading the book). Still, in my head that covered Judaism. I would recommend the book to those interested or concerned about this -In my part of the UK it’s not something that comes up very often. What I want to do now is find a book that explains the Israeli/Palestinian situation. Was going to ask DB but I got a feeling he’s not interested in that so if anyone else has a good recommendation I would love to have it..Scruffy MacGingerVersion: 3.67.1

✓ Complete rubbishI guess I shouldn’t have had such high expectations but really you would think that by 2022 you could be excused for thinking that apps should just work. This has to be the worst app I’ve ever downloaded. Why can’t you use credits to purchase in app? Why can’t you purchase credits in app? Why is there no link to purchase from search? Why do items I have finally figured out how to purchase say they’ve gone to my library but don’t show in my library in app? Why does the player freeze? If you’ve ever been worried about being ripped off through an app then don’t use this one! The selection of books cannot be beaten but this app is simply useless. I hope the designers have been arrested tied up and receive a sound thrashing every day for the pain they have inflicted on so many. Absolute asscrack. You even get forced to give a one star review even if you want to give none. Don’t use this rubbish!.BestappevernotVersion: 3.65.1

✓ This HAS to be made into a series!I think to get the most enjoyment from this series they need to be reading them in order. This last one ties them all together beautifully! Well narrated, especially Richard Armatage with his velvety smooth Russian accent (someone pass me a fan!) I love how Lucinda Riley weaves an historical character into each book. I also have to say that Lucinda would be incredibly proud of her son in this final book in the series, having sadly passed away leaving plot guidelines and the trust that her son would do it justice….Harry Whittaker… very well done! How sad she isn’t here to tell you so. Somebody needs to make this into a series, it would be epic, each book would be a season, I love how each book brings up characters in future and previous books making you feel even more engrossed in the storyline. Don’t leave too long between each book or you will most likely forget who is who! I will definitely be reading more of her (other) books. Thank you Lucinda for the joy you have given so many..No.1JaxVersion: 4.5.1

✓ So amazing👏😎💙Best app ever, I can always listen to it when ever I want and it’s just so handy! The books are ever so entertaining and I listen to them whenever I can!!! I highly recommend the twilight series fir ANYONE over the age of 10 because they are so thrilling, romantic, emotional and scary all in one series of audiobooks! I can listen to audible whenever because you don’t need WiFi or data or even service to listen to a book! The only improvement I can think of is don’t make people pay for books, I reckon if they sign in they can listen for free buy it’s understandable why you make people pay! The books aren’t expensive though so don’t worry about cost! You can listen to a range from kids fairytales to adults drama realities! I listen to audible in the way to school in the car, on the bus, when I’m out running, when I’m cooking, when I’m in the shower, we. I’m cleaning out u horse’s stables, before bed, in the mornings and basically any chance I can get! I highly recommend it and if you download the app HAPPY LISTENING👏❤️👍🏻.Sporty_girl_xoxVersion: 3.5

✓ When you hear truth, believe itHighly suggest that you read The Way of Integrity. When heartbreak finds me most vulnerable I usually turn to Dante and reread his epic masterpiece The Divine Comedy. There is kinship in that journey for me. I am no great Dante scholar, but I was given the book when I was young to help deal with the loss of a great love and his journey has served me since. I scoured the many books that my friends have suggested in order to deal with a recent bout of nostalgic longing, maybe trying to convince myself that Dante was the best option once again, but eventually came across The Way of Integrity while eavesdropping on a conversation in a coffee shop. Listening to the sample and the reference to Dante gave me the motivation to take a flyer and make the purchase. Having just concluded this book I can honestly say that I intend to make it a part of my life going forward. The way Martha Beck understands Dante is so familiar to me, and her insights are honest, concise, and often perspectives that I had not before considered. I plan to attempt her many challenges and test my own integrity. We do not know when our souls guides will find us along the road, she is right about that..AnonymousSaltyGuyVersion: 3.75.1

✓ It’s not streamlineWhen I’ve bought books with vouchers or money on the website they’re not always added in app to the library. You can’t easily buy extra credits through the app if you run out. The included catalogue is good but limited. The quality of the audiobooks are fabulous. I like the app well enough but unless they make it more streamline I couldn’t give it 5/5 stars.Alicialittlejohn1Version: 4.9

✓ Love Audible!I’ve been a fan of Audible for a couple of years now - it’s fantastic and has helped me find my love of reading again - both through listening and reading kindle and physical books. I’ve left a review before with various suggestions, many of which have been included in updates now such as the ability to sort books and see those you’ve finished grouped together and be able to purchase from within the app (thank you). However I would also love to be able to see back on my listening time to the whole time I’ve had Audible - rather than just the last 5 months and 5 days etc. I know I used to listen a lot more last year and I’d love to be able to see how much this was and the statistics over a greater period and also each year as well after monthly. Not a major thing, but if you could incorporate this is a new update it would be great! Thanks again Audible!.RoseP80Version: 3.60

✓ Read this!It is an amazing app, it helps me getting things done quicker e.g. if there is some homework I need to do about a book I can listen to it on audible while cleaning or working out. Something I found annoying about this app (although it has only happened once over the five years of me using it) is that there are some book series they don’t finish. They do the first few books but then the last one isn’t on here. Overall this app is amazing and I suggest buying it. It is a great way to save time. Getting this app also allows you to avoid the cliffhangers when you finish reading a chapter and have to go to bed. You can listen to the story while going to sleep and enjoy it all. I hope you discover some amazing books on this app..Breeahna HillVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Love this app so much!Audible helps me focus at work (manufacturing) as I don’t really need to think when I work. I work night shift and it is difficult to stay awake but whenever I listen to books and podcasts it helps me to keep up and be excited to come in to work because that’s the only time I allow my self to listen to audible. I highly recommend this app if you’re not really good at reading but love listening. I only had this app for a month and I finished 14 books already! My most favourite is can’t hurt me by David Goggins definitely worth the credit. It’s a bit expensive but I’d rather pay this than Netflix or any other streaming platform. Hope y’all enjoy this app as much I did..Darawesome30Version: 4.1

✓ Powerful quick readThis only took 2days to listen to, and it’s sad to hear woman's health and position in society has only slightly changed since 1950. Great read. If you wish to understand the gender data gap in woman's health and the world around them, how is it that there are still limited studies on biological female conditions and considerations for us in urban design? This left me with many questions to ask and ideas for research projects to help lessen the divide..BertiegermVersion: 3.86

✓ Audio book is a brilliant app. Got me through this terrible pandemic.I have been with audio books now for quite a few years. Side my eyesight started to go after I got sugar diabetes and it wasn’t diagnosed for nearly a year and my eyes were damaged, I couldn’t even imagine the horrors of not being able to read. Then one more night trying to get to the end of a book, my eyes burning head banging. My son said, mum download Audiobook ‘, he did it for me, I listened to the end of that book. I have never looked back, I get a kindle n just the Audio book for a couple of pounds usually. I have about 350 books in my library and I go back to old favourites from time to time, send my friends and family a good book. I buy credits. This pandemic is a terrible thing,but, Audio has been a sanity saver lol well it has for me. Many more too I would think. If you haven’t tried it, I really do recommend it. It can’t harm to try. But, it CAN bring joy into a lonely night. Good listening and stay safe out there. Reguards. Patricia Welsh.AkashaboudiccaVersion: 3.51.1

✓ Super handy, love it except for...Really not a fan of the new library storage system. I switch between my and my husband’s accounts regularly and it used to be if I downloaded an audiobook but switched to the other account I could still access the downloaded audiobook, but it no longer does. Mine and my husbands accounts are very intermingled: books for both of us, times we wanted a book but had no credits so bought it with the other’s account. Also because we’ve both been members for years we have 100+ books each so we have to scroll and scroll and scroll only to realize the book is on the other account. Please go back to the old way it was much easier for families like ours. On the upsides though the app is quick, simple to use, never fails to remember where I'm up to(which is super handy when reading epic fantasy) and the sound quality is exemplary. Very pleased with it and will stick with Audible for the foreseeable future (tho I'd love a fix for my downloading issue ;p ).Sulu-joshiVersion: 3.20.1

✓ Johnathan Thurston AutobiographyI would like to thank JT for his book. You are an absolute hero for a rugby league fan and ex player, albeit a Blues supporter. I loved you’re in depth insights and how you shared not only highlights but the dark times too. Right now I am experiencing some of the darkest most difficult time of my life and reading you’re book has lifted me somewhat, put a smile on my face. I have no doubt reading of you’re experiences will do the same for others. I am a Manly supporter and always have been, but now, I am also a NQ Cowboys supporter. Thank you and best wishes for you’re future. Jay W..TikitaneVersion: 3.83

✓ A real eye opener, and essential readingI think most of us already knew that fresh foods are better for us than heavily processed foods but I never previously understood quite why, and I was sceptical of the organic food ‘industry’ – because the types of people that generally advocate for it tend to be in my view unscientific. This book explains a lot from the scientific standpoint and it opened my eyes to why and to what extent western high carb and highly processed foods are so bad for us. Spoiler: very bad indeed. And it reframes the problem of unwanted weight gain from being one of willpower to one of us having been bombarded with bad dietary advice from both the government and food industry. It’s really rather a scandal. And finally it gives practical steps we can take to improve our health, and for us to become wiser about what we are eating. I have made significant changes right away, I just wish I had known all of this 20 years ago..GridrunnerVersion: 3.75.1

✓ Nonviolent Communication by Marshall RosenbergFrom my first reading of Marshall Rosenberg’s book (library audio book) I gained a very helpful overview. I’m about to begin again, taking notes and practicing. The parts that are foremost in my mind from my first reading include recognising my feelings and being able to articulate these along with my needs in a manner that encourages communication between people. I’m already a believer in avoiding ‘but’ so that is reinforced. ‘But’ in my experience helps transform a discussion into an argument. The importance of giving and receiving gratitude with empathy: in detail and with feeling has stayed with me too. I’m feeling optimistic that the guidelines Dr Rosenberg developed in his book are possible for me to learn and practice if I’m committed to the process. I’m not currently a confident communicator so this is a large step in a positive direction. I’m grateful Dr Rosenberg personally read his book. His speech is warm, calm and clear. Relieved is another feeling I’m aware of. I need this knowledge to build on my relationships; to be a kinder, empathetic person. Thank you very much Dr Rosenberg..Tried lots; all taken.Version: 3.78.1

✓ Amazing, brutal and beautiful.I listened to the book every night before bed, and some nights because I was enjoying it so much I feel asleep without turning it off. It was an amazing, beautiful and extremely heart wrenching listen. I truely have love for Sue and her family as they are victims as much as the others. As a mother of an 18 year old boy with severe depression, it’s so important to highlight this epidemic and Sue does it eloquently and with total respect to the victims and their families. Thank you..Raging bull in china shopVersion: 3.51

✓ Vivid Beach Settings and Authentic Characters Learn to Find HappinessIt took a little more than usual for me to get into the book; at first,It started off feeling too much like a cliché, but that changed after the first few chapters. After reading the book, it almost feels like that was the author’s intention to provide a stark contrast for the character development throughout the book or possibly the author became a better writer once she fully built her world. I really enjoyed the vivid setting descriptions of the “Pond” and the city(really all of the settings were wonderfully sketched through words in the reader’s mind), the characters felt so authentic that I was sad when the story ended, and the structure was also essential to the plot: going between the past and present at various stages, but also within one day at the beach house in the present. It could get a little confusing at times, but this made me pay attention more so I didn’t mind. There were times when I was so angry at the main character, and mother(s), that I literally yelled at her (them)through my phone. It was never the main character’s fault, but she made so many poor, weak choices at times. It reminded me of the human flaws and regrets we all have or carry..Lila BleuVersion: 3.55

✓ The ultimate introduction to Western philosophy (if you have 38 hours to spare)This is a remarkably long audiobook, clocking in at nearly 40 hours, but it is worth every second. Russell’s commentary is insightful (and often accompanied by an amusing dry wit), Made all the better by Keeble’s superb delivery. Offers an insight into not only philosophy, but history and politics, giving something of a roadmap of the progression of Western thought in relation to other developments. Highly recommended..Gentleman ProfessorVersion: 2.28.1

✓ ‘Reading’ books I would have never readI used to read maybe 1 book every two years, now I listen to up to 20 a year. Anything from Homer’s Odyssey to Harry Potter... I can ‘read’ ANY book. Boring novel assigned by uni? No problem, I can finish it in a week if I want to. I CAN’T STRESS ENOUGH how amazing Audible is. Especially every book narrated by Stephen Fry .. (this includes the entire Harry Potter series.....) please get Audible. Most paperback books can retail for up to $30.. I pay half that and get them read to me....

✓ I almost never read anything with a perfect score, but Audible deserves a five, nothing less.This is simply a tremendous app. It is thoroughly and I mean completely accessible for use by blind people and others with various disabilities. This is a wonderful ethic that Audible has that very few other companies do. I have over 1000 books in my library, and I’ve been with Audible using its application since about the year 2000. I joined Audible not expecting much… But they have proof to be a company that is responsive and one that cares very much about their users. The Audible app has become indispensable to me, and I can only say that about one or two other apps, among many on my phone. It simply works, and works well. My favorite feature is that it organizes series in their chronologically released order. This means that you can see immediately in your library if you’ve missed one in a long series of books that you enjoy, and can usually immediately purchase it right through the app. Audible, I am retired now, but I look forward to many years of listening pleasure, and it’s all possible because you’ve made such a wonderfully accessible and useful application. Thank you, and please keep up the good work. John Esak..John a secVersion: 4.10

✓ A Genius business with enjoyable featuresThis has been a wonderful way to save time and achieve the same result. I have being able to perform labor tasks or even play video games which take up a different response sector from my ability to focus, perform, absorb and respond. While I can divide my attention, this nifty app allows me to focus on both my physical labor and the text/ideas being shared here with the same intensity and similar results. The narrators so far have been great, their tempo, punctuation and emphasis has been on point. The variety of works from which to chose is broad and so far I have found most if not all of the books I wanted to read/listen to. Also, the fact that Audible provides free credits every so often is remarkable( imagine not only how much money is saved but also time to travel and shop for these. Not to mention what if they are difficult to find provided their less then popular demand). The features to control the speed of the narration, also the ability to play on the background for if in the midst of listening one should attend a communication from a friend or family and not want to disturb the suspense built on the best part of the book. Also, I am sure there are other features I have not explored. So this is it for this review being. Thank you 🙏.RamacharacaVersion: 4.1.2

✓ Thank youI am the youngest of 4 children 2 of which have schizophrenia. The third I cannot confirm because she is estranged and does not share her diagnosis only to say if she had not had the years of therapy she had she would have been just like our brother. The irony is that she does not see how sick she is. At times I had to stop listening to the book to digest what I had heard and to shed a few tears to work through my own grief. I so relate to Lindsey Galvin in so many ways. The main difference is my siblings weren’t diagnosed until they were much older because they were not as severely symptomatic. All of this came to a head at my mothers passing in 2010. Then I truly learned how co dependent our family was. Some of us are healing the others I pray for. Reading this book made me feel that I was alone or the only one in this situation. I am truly grateful for all those who have research and continue to research on behalf of the ones that can’t. I am also relieved to know that the likelihood of my son and his children of having schizophrenia is very low. I have so much more insight into this condition now. I am now more curious than ever to learn of any new developments in treatment..Franciepie23Version: 3.77

✓ I was at my wits end with how to change my lifeI literally was crying the other day from frustration at the knowledge that I create my own reality but did not know HOW. So there I was on the floor of my kitchen bawling my eyes out and suddenly I had a sense of peace come over me. A couple of days later, I searched in Audible the terms magic money manifesting and this book popped up. I honestly didn’t have much hope for it, because it seems like all of these books that claim to give a person techniques just re-hash the same old stuff. This author didn’t do that. He gives practical how to methods that explain different perspectives and details on how to REALLY harness your inner power and apply it to your life. I feel empowered. I took notes this book was so informational, I’m going to listen to it again! Don’t hesitate to get this book! It really will change your life. You can tell that the author spoke from the heart and put a lot of inspired work into this. Sitting on that floor I begged God to help show me how to use the power I know he gave us all to manifest a better life for me. And this book stood out to me. So that’s how I know it is special and must have been inspired. Prosperity and Goodness to you all!.MsGettingFitVersion: 3.51

✓ Better and better- not perfectThis app gets better and better but it isn't perfect. The app has great features and a few clunky ones. More good ones than it used to have. They are being improved over time. All in all, I'm happy with my experience. I can return books I didn't like if they are returned within 6 months. I don't read (listen to) them that quickly. I buy faster than I listen to them. Some times I finish them and the "finished" indication doesn't stay associated with the book through app revisions. Not Cool! The stories included in the titles are often well done but some presentations need serious rework - not many - but the choice for presenter could sometimes be improved. I've listened to a couple dozen different presenters by now ( a couple hundred books ). If those that were "flat" could be trained or replaced with more skilled people a lot of the stories would be better but, sometimes the story is the problem and that is a shame. It becomes easier to tell the difference between problems in story and presentation as you hear more of each. The short samples offered before you buy are most helpful ( at least to me ) only after my ear has become trained by listening to a goodly number of books by many presenters..Jsbow-longVersion: 2.27

✓ Essential readingA great book that really gets to the heart of healing. It uses bio psychosocial lens to focus on why we and society are who we are and suffer as we do. The book also shows a path forward for healing. The style is very similar to other North American books on similar topics. The lens the narrative is told is also very North American. As an Australian, it doesn’t resonate as well as writers from my own culture, but I am familiar enough with American writing that it isn’t a problem. But the bio psychosocial focus is where all development and healing should be discussed and where the field is heading therefore I appreciate and recommend this book. It is sensitive and doesn’t blame anyone or lend itself to the reader blaming others. Just a minor issue with the narration, the assuming an accent or speaking style for quotes in the text is distracting and sounds silly. I can sense the intention, but I didn’t like it..Briken RiverVersion: 3.95

✓ Essential reading to get understanding.This my third listen to this narration in the last two months. What Mike reveals is too much too absorb in just one reading just as much as Scripture itself. We can never exhaust the depths of The Word our Heavenly Father has given us it is a lifelong study we dare not undertake. Only scholars like Mike can open up the depths of Revelation in the language of The Word. He was a man raised up and empowered to bring to us who are willing to make effort Mike has lifted my understanding a 1000fold in this year alone. I am 82n years old and still willing to be taught, and our Heavenly Father is enabling me to learn despite my poor education and limited skills. Please i exhort all who seek to know absolute truth do read this book and meg the God of all Creation bless you with understanding as He has me. 🙏 Rob in New Zealand.DavidDavidson76Version: 4.1.2

✓ Above avg app with questionable prices. - MzBI use Audible most of the time. Other times I use Kimble for the majority of my time reading. I get books anywhere from non-fiction to fiction to recipe books, ect. I listen to audio books when I'm doing other things or read my kindle books when I'm sitting, relaxing. I enjoy both very much and have had no problems with either. The only con I have is price. Kindle books are reasonably priced. Even books on CDs aren't too bad in price. But with those, you are interrupted by having to change the disc or if you stop and take a disc out to change it from one player to another, i.e., from a home player to a car, It's easy to lose your place. Kindle I can take with me to appointments, ect. Audible books I can listen to in the car as long as I have an auxiliary speaker. But my biggest complaint is the price. I pay a monthly fee to use the app and then pay an extra $20 to $30 for an audible book which I feel is an exorbitant price compared to Kindle or books on CDs. Audible may be convenient, but the prices are ridiculous, with as much as I read (or listen to)..Pach can DVersion: 3.98

✓ My reviewThis book is no less than a historical document. I appreciate the work and sacrifice of Liz Cheney . This book should be mandatory reading for every high school and college student. If we want to preserve our fragile democracy we need people who get the facts correct and speak the truth about those who would destroy it . I believe Liz has done just that in this book . As I listened to this book I could not help but remember a time when Americans had a common thread and a true love of county . Now I’m not so sure enough Americans even understand the stakes of the 2024 election. We have become detached from each other,a county of selfishness and people who seek personal gain above all else . Many who support Trump would give up all their rights and personal freedoms to a man who has no respect for them our democracy or rule of law. They mistakenly believe that they would benefit and share in a Trump victory . This book tells the behind the scenes story of how Trump tried to steal an election he lost and how far he was willing to go to stay in power . It is a chilling account of events and we can only hope that this deeply divided America does not destroy itself by voting for an authoritarian leader ..OldMan SmithersVersion: 4.11.1

✓ Not what I expectedNot being a gamer and definitely sitting outside the demographic of readers who would normally be interested in a futuristic online world, I was surprised at how much I loved this book. Exciting and fast paced with well rounded characters I felt like I was a young girl again and as excited as when I read “The Lion the witch and the Wardrobe” many many years ago. Listening on audible made it all that easier and I probably would have struggled to read it. The narrator has a strong and clear voice and managed to tackle all the different characters with finesse and talent. I loved this story and would recommend to anyone interested in a tale to take you away and sweep you into an online world of the future..Ella JudeVersion: 3.96

✓ Good content, very marginal access to itI have recently just trialled audible, found a book series I enjoyed listening to. However after finishing the book, and deciding I will happily pay for the next in the series. I discovered that I have no ability at all to buy more credits or anything outside of the 1 book a month. From my perspective my first months use has dried up in a matter of days and the apps inability to allow me to purchase additional books, means that audible from my experience, is largely redundant for most of the monthly duration. I’m not talking about wanting more for my money, simply the ability to spend more of my money in order to continue with a series I enjoyed, seems counter productive to a business, to restrict and limit you ability to spend money in their products or services..Me95419Version: 4.6

✓ Difficult to rateReally torn on this one. Loved the first section about the young Holly with all the 80s references. Enjoyed some of the Crispin story and Ed but caught myself glossing over sections and almost giving up before being sucked back in again. I think the sci fi weirdness just wasn’t for me but I couldn’t help admiring the quality of the writing. Although there are multiple stories they all tie together and I also liked the references from Black Swan Green and Thousand Autumns both of which I loved. Some of the weirder sections made more sense as they were explained later on in the book and what started off sounding like six separate stories did make one cohesive whole. Cleverly done but a bit too much of the sci fi for me to rate as a 5 especially as half way through I couldn’t see past a 3. Some reviewers have criticised the differing voices and accents for Holly but I thought this worked well to distinguish age, time and place..Loh2898Version: 3.5

✓ You Owe YouThis was an easy book to read along/ listen to. Dr. Thomas’ intentional use of simple language makes the principles highlighted in his book accessible to a wide range of readers. This made me feel inspired to examine my own core values and create a plan for myself and my family to create the life we deserve to have. you owe you is a gift to the global community, for anyone who is looking for meaning and purpose in their life. It is an honest reflection on what I’m sure was a difficult journey to self discovery, and legacy building. When you are going somewhere it is much easier to navigate when you have a clear sense of direction. But when you are the first in your family to accomplish so much the only direction you have is your faith and your companions along the journey. You Owe You provides that clear sense of direction to cut down the time it would take someone to reach the destination of purpose. By following the principles outlined in this book and applying them to your own life you will receive the fulfillment of clarity of purpose and self mastery. Enjoy the read and your own journey to answering the question what do You owe YOU?.Cookinmama31Version: 3.81

✓ Be carefulI was a big Audible user and supporter for years. When the membership terms required a monthly fee, I stayed with. Happy to use the large audio library for members only. The idea of earning a credit a month to use for any premium item also fine. I had accumulated four credits, when I decided to take a break . Now this is the problem, and in reality it is my fault for not reading the fine print. I THOUGHT that I would take a few months off of the membership to use credits that have been building up. Fully planning on rejoining in a few months time. What I did not realize was that once you suspend the membership you lose all of your accumulated credits .. back to zero. If you seek out this information you will find it. I never looked at the whole contract . Kind of silly to pay monthly and then lose all of you credits if you stop temporarily or otherwise.. Without this issue Audible is a five star company, but this nickel and diming was and is unfair, stated or not , fine print or not. So this is a cautionary tale. If you are a member or plan on becoming one be advised that if you stop your membership you will lose all of you amassed credits. If you are the type of person that uses the credit immediately, then you are fine. Otherwise heed the warning. You will get your credits erased too..HowiejfVersion: 4.6.2

✓ Wonderful story but let down by audio editingI really loved this story. Wonderful characters & you get swept up in chaos of the family. It was tricky to get my head around so many characters & at one point I went back to the first chapter to relisten to get the names & storyline’s straight. The main thing that let it down that other reviews also mention is the editing. Some parts one paragraph rolled into the next quickly but it was the start of a completely different character & scene requiring a pause. It’s a shame because it lets down a fantastic story!.Felicity WestVersion: 4.17

✓ One minute out?Ok I may have missed it but I didn’t get the title. Normally it’s it’s pretty strait forward in Mark Greaney novels. If your a fan of the series you’ll likely be irritated by the first person dialogue for at least the first few chapters. Eventually, if you’re anything like me you will slowly grow to appreciate the first person style. Not the best and not the worst of the series by any stretch. What I like liked about this one is that Gentry was flying solo throughout most of the mission, much like the first few in the series. This seems to allow for more daring and/ or desperate missions like the one that originally drew us in to the series. A good read for sure, just have some patience with the change in writing style in the beginning or you’ll miss out on something very good..Zoot0072Version: 3.19.1

✓ LOVE IT!I have been using audible for well over 10 years now...before there was an Australian site for it and have always enjoyed it. As an avid reader who was losing her sight, it allowed me some of the enjoyment I used to get from books. When the sync with kindle became available, I was so excited, I could make the font HUGE...and read til my eyes tired and then listen and go to and from. The ONE issue I have with sudible, is that when you buy a book from kindle, you can now get the audiobook for a few dollars. If, however, I use my credits, and want the kindle book, I have to pay full price for it. It makes my subscription a way of wasting rather than saving money because I ALWAYS want both. I don’t want to stop my subscription however I find myself accumulating credits because it’s just cheaper to buy the book and add the audiobook. Could the reversal be organised, so that when I use my credit, I can buy the kindle book for a few dollars? I have made this suggestions quite a few times through various means of contacting audible....and always told, it’s something that is being worked on.... I’d be so greatful when it happens. Thanks audible for many hours of listening.... Lisa.LisalaurVersion: 3.12.1

✓ ALL BLACKS Passion in WORDSThanks so much to all who endeavoured to put All Black history into such a magnificent book. I was genuinely sad to reach the end. Having moved to NZ from Canada in 2007, I first fell in love with the game watching them play SA in a little pub in Ohakune where so many fans packed the room, it felt like when Canada played Russia in ice hockey. It was there that I first saw grown men fly through the air to victory. I watched sportsmanship that saw the foulest call by a ref, not even register distain on Richie McCaw’s face because he was already getting in position for the next play. There was a physicality to the game but there more skill than I’d ever seen on field of any other game. This book puts into words the journey we all took while Sir Steve Hansen was at the helm. It will always be topical for the game and whether you played or are a fan, you will find it FASCINATING!!!.NztracieVersion: 4.6.2

✓ LoveTbh, I keep "forgetting" to cancel it because I love it so much but basically my only criticism is when a book has diagrams or images they should show up on your screen/lock screen etc so you can see them if you wish because I've been listening to all these great books by dr joe dispenza and they are diagram heavy and every time he refers to a diagram I'm like aghhhh why I can't I see this right now? Anyway, yes to audible, thanks, will probs "forget" to cancel again this month...Kina saiVersion: 3.10.2

✓ Incredibly helpful and easy to use ap!I am so impressed with this ap! I had caved on one of the ads for this ap on fb and saw that they had a free trial with two free books so I decided to try it. I listened to part of one book and then haven’t had much time to listen since and actually kinda forgot about it. I received an e mail today from audible which reminded me I needed to cancel my trial before being charged bc I wasn’t ready to pay the monthly subscription just yet and unlike most apps I found the customer service for this company was incredible! Right under settings in the ap lists a phone number and easy access to ur subscription information. I called the number to find out where I was in my trial and was impressed with how quickly they answered and told me I still had a few weeks left and she could cancel it now or I could enjoy the rest of it and call back to cancel the day before. She also returned the book I originally ordered bc I wasn’t that into it and now I have my two free book credits left! I highly recommend this ap to anyone bc of its easy to use settings, outstanding customer support, and wide section of books available! Great Job audible!.Lacies opinionsVersion: 3.10.2

✓ Very helpful bookI have been on a mission (I am in my 40’s) to finally learn how to communicate everyday, including having difficult conversations. The author provided so much insight into how I was conditioned to respond in a certain way that has caused the receiver of the message to immediately shut down and become defensive. I listened to this book on my commute to and from work and learned so much that I can apply to everyone I talk to, both personally and professionally. I will admit, as other reviewers have stated, that the author’s voice has a slow dragging pace, so I fixed that by speeding up the audio to 1.2x and this reduced a lot of vocal clicks and made the pace more of a “normal” speaking speed without affecting the author’s message. I personally like hearing books in the author’s own voice as it conveys meaning exactly how author meant to convey the message without interpretation from another speaker (professional narrator or not). To me, hearing from the writer in their voice gives life to the message. I plan to go back and review some key areas which really spoke to me. I recommend this book to anyone, even if they think they know how to communicate. This book changed my life and perspective, and may very well save my marriage..IgctfxtjhbVersion: 3.86

✓ Disappointed with App ChangeI’ve been an avid member for I’m thinking at least a decade and I just discovered that you have removed all my reading statistics and levels of accomplishment in the app. Naturally I won’t quit but I loved that aspect of the app and it gave me a continued sense of achievement and accomplishment. Please return this feature it means so much to me or show or tell me where you moved it to. Thanks for listening. I have now discovered that my review above is not exactly correct the statistics are still there. However, because I had two accounts, recently consolidated into one the one I have remaining shows me as having achieved scholar while in fact I have long since passed Master level. That bothers me greatly. May seem a small issue to but not I. Also, what’s the level above Master as when your records are updated I will surpass that easily. Even if you don’t make the update I will still obliterate Master level and there must be others. Anyway once I hear from you I will update to 5 stars. Finally, I wish you would find a way where I can find and purchase books inside the App if apple don’t like it so what, just buy them out and make a better policy..Javier roverVersion: 2.34

✓ They only lose one star becauseI think that it is vital, that an actor or actress who is being paid to read a novel out loud understand, and know the pronunciation of all of the words in that particular book. myself and many of my friends are sometimes dismayed by what to us are obvious mispronunciations these include Nuclear (correctly, pronounced New-Clear NOT New-Cue-Ler). Clerestory (correctly, pronounced Clair-Eś-story with the accent on the second syllable. NOT Clear-Story) Beyond that, I think, if the author is living, they should offer up the pronunciation to the voice actors, and the voice actor should consistently pronounce the names as the author intended throughout the story consistently correctly, not two or three different pronunciations throughout one story with the same voice actor. Last but not least there have been three or four books that I thought when I purchased them I was getting unabridged version and that was not the case. Once someone famous has recorded a book no one seems to want to get a second recording of maybe a different voice actor in a complete an abridged edition. in this day and age were books are being made into blockbuster movies I think it’s vital that we stop creating any abridged editions..Woundrn1992Version: 4.2

✓ Listen carefully to all samples.I love audio books. I listen to them when my work requires concentrated hand eye coordination but my mind needs stimulation and also on longer journeys. In the majority of titles the narration is superb but just occasionally you find a duff, mind numbing, monosyllabic or stilling narration which is akin to drawing a rusty saw over 200 year old hand carved mahogany. Just weep worthy! Along with this there can sometimes be other problems present, born of the editing suite but you rarely get to experience these until you have purchased and downloaded the entire title. This is where the returns policy is at its best as the refund is immediate in the case of members credits. Beware however, as there is a limit to how many titles they will refund, hence the title of my review. The classics for example have many many different versions, ensure you have tried all the narrators to get a feel for the one which appeals to you the most. I have been an audible member since 2010 and have not had to contact customer relations once! I am very happy using audible. I can use my purchases over several devices and they are quick to download. I can go off into the wilds prepared with enough titles to see me through many weeks before I return to WiFi world to collect some more. Highly recommend to those who love stories and expanding their experience of narrative story telling, biography, history, travel logs and the list goes on!.ShroooomVersion: 2.28

✓ Bloody Brilliant.This audio book is so good, once I started listening I was gripped until the end. Keith is so honest and genuine, I love his personality coming through. Quite often when the author reads his book it can still feel like some random reading it, and it doesn’t quite feel connected to who wrote it. But Keith reading it is wonderful, and you feel his emotion in his voice, and he does really get emotional, especially when he talks about Stuart, and that made me cry. But I feel so privileged to have felt like he was actually talking to me, telling me his life story. It really is brilliant. Thank you Keith for reading it, it makes a huge difference xx. Now I feel like I kind of know him, but he doesn’t know me which is a bit strange. I wish I did have a KBJ in my life, I’m sure he would help me with my pottery, and I’d be lucky to call him a friend! Look forward to the new series of GBPTD x.ShelleygeoVersion: 3.87

✓ There could be major improvements to this appThe app worked better before, after all these updates the app for IOS is very flaky. Cuts out, freezes, stops, won’t load, a whole mess of things. My rating has gone down for this app since the quality has gone down significantly..CaledongrlVersion: 3.1.1

✓ Must read (must listen?)I prefix this review with saying that I’ve previously been working my way through the series of books by Robert Jordan, the wheel of time, which may explain some of which I’m about to say and will give context to many who may disagree with my next paragraph. I absolutely loved this book. Yes I can see why there are comparisons drawn between this story and the story of the hunger games, both start from what some may call the dregs of their social classes. Both are thrust into action from this measly start. But this story easily stands on its own even though it draws from the same well of ideas. The pacing of the story is brilliant. There is a finely balanced mix of backfilling the characters backgrounds while simultaneously progressing the story. There is a very well thought out way of introducing new branches of storyline and this was done multiple times in ways I didn’t foresee. I can say nothing negative about this book and I would recommend starting this book to anyone. I don’t want to say too much out of risk of spoilers but give this book a chance and you won’t regret it, best book I’ve listened to (read doesn’t fit obviously but is better than most I’ve read too) and I look forward to starting the next book in near future..Maximus StafficusVersion: 3.93

✓ SpeechlessI really am speechless, first thing I’d like to say is what an amazing difference it is when the author tells it in his own words. To keep this short and sweet. What amazing stories this man has I could listen to him forever. But one thing I didn’t expect to take from an autobiography is life lesson, he has and will change my life forever. I feel no matter what I say nothing will sound good enough for what I feel inside. I would love to talk to the man himself and thank him directly. Matthew McConaughey your my green-light.ScottishKiwi85Version: 3.40

✓ Inspiration storyI really enjoyed this book. A story that could happen to anyone of us. My husband was terminally diagnosed with cancer at 50. I wondered through the story what we would have done in NZ if we had also been homeless. I’ve since had a holiday in Cornwall so could picture the bays and sandy beaches. I’ve wondered why not many offered a bed or food to those in this story. Do we turn a blind eye to the homeless? I guess it shows where there’s a will there’s a way and I look forward to reading another book by this author..SueHNZVersion: 4.0.1

✓ Not to be read lightlyI have hesitated to recommend this book to certain people because of the harrowing aspect of the stories of the women, each one of them. As a therapist I was profoundly impressed by the writing of Miriam’s experience, capturing the invisible torture, like watching someone drowning, then momentarily surfacing for breath, then going under again, and repeating over and over. It is something I have witnessed. The interview with the author at the end helped me take on board the idea of Hope in Hell. It felt as if I was in a ‘debrief’ following a traumatic event. When the story became difficult to hold, I continued reading because IT IS compelling. The author has such a marvellous way of understanding women and what women experience in some very difficult circumstances, yet this is NOT a ‘woman’s book’. The small details in the stories of the two main women characters were wonderful to read, like the difference the right seasoning makes in a great meal: the detail of a herb or spice. A very good book. I’m glad I read it..Treesha1234567Version: 3.24.2

✓ Wounded Man Speaks his TruthVery glad I listened to the Duke tell his story. What a tragic family. And beautiful to hear his first-person account of historical events (or fictions that tabloids created). The media reviews that led up to this book release don’t even come close to conveying the spirit of the book, which makes sense, since the tabloid media are one of the top villains throughout his life (as illustrated again and again in his memoir). I wonder if one day King William will have more fortitude and less vanity and insecurity than his Dad King Charles to try to prevent the same destructive forces from ripping his own children apart. If the monarchy endures. When the time comes, William may have greater insight into what happened between him and Harry. However, the whole institution of the monarchy seems to breed mistrust, pettiness, and require emotional disconnection from the top ranked family members. The memoir covered many aspects of his life I didn’t know about, like the substance use, his Apache pilot training, and how he gravitated to surrogate parents in his beloved Botswana. And the depth of his loss. I also appreciated a non-caricature understanding of his wife Meg, and all she and her family also endured..WorldDefender MoonFaceVersion: 3.89.1

✓ If you’re serious about building a real estate business, then add this title to your required text.I had very mixed feelings about my expectations when I saw this book. Not because I didn’t trust the author’s real estate journey or chops, but because similar information is usually lock up into the “guru’s” branded classes. Much like real estate, am I going to drop $25k to $30k on the slickest marking machine or am I going spend less than $25 dollars on the exact same information from this wonderful book and investing the balance of that $25k into my first deal? I’m not joking, the keys to the real estate kingdom are laid bare in the context of the book. At the very least this book needs to be required reading and a frequently referenced resource in your library. Although it’s written for newer real estate investors, it peels back the blankets on more advanced concepts such as consideration for syndicates, location-location-location, and dealing with real-life landlord/tenant relations. For whatever my opinion is worth, this book is a must have and the secret to form a real estate business strategy and tactically getting after it is less than an 8 hours listen and gives you the foundation for generational wealth..SugarfishVersion: 3.96

✓ I’ve never ‘read’ so many books!I’m a recent convert to Audible. I enjoy reading but find it hard to get through books- with a busy active life, I tend to fall asleep reading at night, but with Audible I’m now reading books throughout the day- listening to them on my walks with the dog, in the car, in the supermarket. Audible even reads books to my kids when I’m busy doing the dinner dishes (secretly listening to Audible while I do them)..Piano_beginner101Version: 3.78.1

✓ What HappenedSuch a courageous book! If you have any questions about how the most popular candidate could come 2nd to the candidate who used ‘ratings’ tactics to manipulate his way into a role far beyond his ability or competency, then listen to this but be prepared for facts going hand in hand with a barrage of questions! Not being an American, the only commonality I can glean is from being a woman, and I believe that this was probably the biggest threat the author faced in her attempt to become president! Thanks for you courage, on going drive & determination!.GojojogoVersion: 2.29

✓ Wish there was a percentage numberI adore Audible, it’s kinda expensive but the selection is unprecedented. It’s so great for encouraging more reading, as you can multitask while consuming a story. I love how there is brand new and popular books on here, and you also don’t have to wait like you might on Libby. In terms of the app, I wish you could purchase through the app. I wish that you could change the timer to view the percentage you were through the book, and that the overall progress timer was visible on books that were loaded in 2 parts. Finally, I wish that there were cost effective subscriptions for multiple books per month as I read maybe 2 audiobooks a week and find that Audible gets expensive so I rotate between this, Libby (which is connected to your library card, meaning that it’s free BUT they will only have a certain amount of copies of a book and you need to wait until a copy is available - like a normal library book - which can be loooong with new or popular books but has a STUNNING app interface that I believe is more intuitive than Audible), and less frequently I’ll listen to Scribd but the selection is average compared to either of the first two I choose and the app isn’t as pleasant as even Audible. Overall, I love Audible because of the range and I would keep it purely based off of that however I also enjoy the interface and the experience of the books. Overall, I.MissjordanneVersion: 3.4

✓ Deeply moving howeverThere are parts where you can’t help but cringe at the “first” world problems that the Duke and Duchess experience as well as the fact that so many people in their circle who come to the rescue, live lives so far removed from your average citizen. I do feel the desperation for “normalcy” and I hear the tragic story of a damaged, broken family unable to connect emotionally to each other because doing so means admitting that their lives as they know it, are ruled by others only looking out for themselves not the family or the Monarchy for that matter. However, I also think this story shows how everyone involved has not taken responsibility for their own roles, choices or lack of education on the system that rules them. Harry should have known better, there is no way Megan didn’t know about his family, or why she shouldn’t take a picture in front of the Taj Mahal for example, I mean everyone has seen that famous picture, especially people of Megan’s age living in California during the 90s. I think if anything, I hope it’s cathartic for them and helps them move on. Everyone deserves safety and security and to make their own way. I wish them the best..Listener-unbiasedVersion: 3.88

✓ Interesting, emotional account of one man’s struggle through American Family Court systemI listened non-stop to the horrifying account. This explains the US system pretty well. Australia has 50/50 as a requirement or, the benchmark that mothers or fathers have to prove should be altered. This was an enlightening book and almost mirrored mine, except I’m female and my ex ended up losing. However it made me understand why I was treated so badly by police, child protection, courts. It is because so many people lie and use family violence as a tool to manipulate a better outcome for themselves from court, when real family violence exists, it takes a while for them to realise. The use of statistics was a little misleading … female violence is usually benign compared to male violence. When I hit my husband it was like a bit of rain buffeting a windshield. No impact and easily ignored. When my husband hit me I would fly across the room. Although it seems like this book comes across like a war on women, the real war on women comes from rich middle class women who throw around accusations of family violence to assist their court case. They are the hidden enemy. Wasting precious resources and ensuring true victims have more difficulty being believed. Them and their lawyers are a disgrace. The US legal system needs lots of work..MilkNHoney13Version: 3.67

✓ Cannot easily pause membership a second timeI paused my membership for three months because I wasn’t using the app very much. Audible charged after three months, without any reminder that they were going to do so. I didn’t like the way they did this and tried to pause my membership again, but after much searching found I had to call or email to do this, even though I met their criteria. I emailed to ask for a refund and just cancel, as this wasted lots of my time. Audible did refund and cancel, but didn’t warn about taking my credits. They took away my 3 credits (worth around $50). Asked them to return the credits and they said no. In my opinion, Audible is not good at making billing processes clear and it was hard to cancel (I had to do this on a desktop). ***Update - Audible reinstated the lost credits. Thank you.***.PeterDeMoorVersion: 3.64.1

✓ I love AudibleI love Audible! Listening to Audible books allows me the freedom to do all the boring things I do, while being entertained in the process. My jobs are made less onerous with the distraction of stories by the amazing storyteller’s writings of other people, worlds, places, & times. The reading of the books are brought to life through the wonderful voices of modern day bards. I was introduced to Audible by a friend many years ago who shared a book with me; that I had already read. The reader was so great that it brought a whole new dimension to the book for me; allowing me to sink into the story & deepen my imagining of the words of the writer. I have been hooked ever since. I invested in the monthly subscription straight away - it is the most user friendly & cost effective way to listen to Audible. I have never looked back!.Sarbi11Version: 3.8

The audio books have quality sound and always have a tester to start, so many features; sleep timer, speed of voice ect. Super easy and what you see is what you get. Couldn’t recommend more use it every day. Thank you audible 🙏.Hellosunshine579Version: 3.2.1

✓ Terrible UXIt should not be this difficult to BUY something from a company. I should be able to make purchases inside the app or at least click a button that would take me directly to an outside URL where I can pay for the item I want.
