BookBeat Audiobooks & E-books - Latest Quality Issues

Lost the book
The book I was listening to was suddenly not there. Removed from the app, with no information that the book was about to be removed from the app and no chance for me to complete it.

Thieves I had two withdrawals and could not access anything.

Bookbeat
On the high side in terms of price and then these eternal discounts here and free periods there without rewarding loyal subscribers, sad.

No price transparency
After searching for 3 minutes, the tiered prices cannot be found in either the AppStore or the app. This is a lack of price transparency.

Love that it has a fairly large English selection. One thing they need to add is auto-rewind on resume. On some audiobook apps, when I resume playing after pausing it for a while, it starts from earlier than the place I left it. Pause 10 minutes, it'll start 15 seconds earlier. Pause for a day, it'll start maybe a minute earlier. I love that feature.

Not good
As a 14 year old trying to have an audio book when doing an art project I was looking for something free when I came across bookbeat it said no in app purchases I downloaded the app and realised I ahve to have a subscription I thought it was a bit cheeky that they didn't tell you how much it was so I went online and looked it was up to £17.99 I thought was disgusting

Fallen asleep? Lost
The business model is based on forgetting to stop when you fall asleep. Then the hours are gone.

Half-good
Great when it works. But there are two big problems: 1) It's missing many important titles, e.g. Dune. Seems to be mostly Swedish books. 2) The app has problems with buffering - sometimes it takes a while to start a book and sometimes it doesn't work at all. On iOS there are problems sometimes - on Watch almost every time. Constantly switching to other apps to listen to audiobooks!

Nice application, clear interface. I don't like the "listening by the hour" model, because I sometimes listen to 100 hours in two weeks. The offer is decent, although I have the same from the competition without time limits.
