CompareOpen in Google Play'Mallow The Bear' bedtime stories have hooked me and my daughter Narration is amazing on them
I live in Finland, and the language in the app defaults to Finnish, but I don't speak Finnish and I cant change it to another language. This makes the app useless. Why can't I change it? I want to give you my money.
Have started taking in ai slop. Why would I want to spend money on that??
this app is really bad because it won't let me download or listen any audio book's
Would love to use this app but it doesn't accept Visa Cards issued in Africa
the app is nice, easy to navigate, and overall pleasant to use. but the library is very questionable, at least to me. I downloaded it and got a trial subscription to listen to one specific book, but gradually I got sold on the app overall. then I started searching for more books from my to-read list, and what did I discover? most of them are available only for purchase, some of them are available only in abstracts... what is the point of a subscription, if I can't even listen to what I want?
it's ok not all are in English some you have to pay for
money problem
I enjoyed the app, even if it has it's flaws - it shows me book recommendations in the wrong language (I changed the language of the app and have my phone set to English yet it still shows me 90% Polish audiobooks) and doesn't allow readers to underline or highlight words/sentences in books. The sudden appearance of many AI voice "actors" and "writers" is however unacceptable. I will look for an alternative that doesn't allow AI (if one exists...)

“15min and didn't fall asleep I would like a simple way to restart with another 15min without "waking up too much".”
“For audiobook addicts like me, simply switching off a book that you aren't enjoying with minimum cosy implications, is perfect!”
“There is an inspiration section,where Bookbeat will suggest books they think you might like,based on your listening.”

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
