So Im a HUGE audiobook listener. I work alone so having an audiobook going while I work is a must. I have both this app and the "audible" app. Both of these apps are very similar but this app has 2 perks that I really like, and one negative I think they should work on.
Perks:
1) Say you just finish listening to a book in a series and you just cant wait to listen to the next book. However you are out of credits. Well if you have the audible all you have to pay full price for the book. Thats could be anywhere from $0- $50 (Depending on the book). BUT with the AUDIOBOOKS app you can just purchase another credit for a flat rate of $14.95!! I love this feature!! I spend way less because of it! When one credit a month isnt enough, this is the cheaper option.
2) Three words. IN APP PURCHASES! I loath having to log in to the actual website just to use a credit to download a book. With the audible app its the only way, and its way to time consuming. I love that i can search, preview, and purchase/use credit all in the Audiobooks app. Its quick, simple, and streamlined. For someone on the go like me Its a MUST!
Okay, now the one downside:
This app has a large selection of books, no doubt about it, but its not as large as the Audible app. I can find some books by an author, but not always all the books. Sometimes they dont even have all the books from the same series. That can be extremely frustrating. Now, I know that can have something to do with licensing with the distributer. I get that. But it has happened a few too many times (about 3 separate series and authors) . I can always find them on audible. This is the only reason I have given the app a 4 star instead of a 5 star.
This app is still a must have in my opinion.
Hope this helps and happy listening!!
