Storytel: Audiobooks & Ebooks - Latest Quality Issues

Android

Mar 1, 2025

All in all a good app, with very good content. But it's SO annoying that you can't see when a book was written, only when it was released on the app. Really annoying to get a notification about a "new book" that is actually really old. Just got tons of them. SO confusing. Or is it in English, my settings are Danish.

Overall, it's cool, a large selection of books, but there's one downside, and it's huge. When the message is displayed that a book is available until February 28, I expect it to be available on February 28 for [value]. I feel cheated and disappointed, because I didn't have a few hours to listen to the last volume of my favorite saga.

Overall, I am satisfied. However, it is very inconvenient that the parts I do not want to be underlined are continuously underlined while reading an e-book. I do not select underlining or specify a range, but it is very annoying that the parts I touch are automatically underlined. The underlining bothers me and it also interferes with my concentration on reading. For reference, I am using Storytel through an Android device. Please improve the touch recognition in this area or add a setting to disable the underlining function.

[name] long time member but the new update has taken away a lot of reading pleasure. You can no longer search in ebooks, arrived or making bookmarks is no longer possible. The interface has become distracting due to moving progress circles. Too bad.

New update is awful. Why did you get rid off functionalities? No more page numbers? Are you optimising the whole service to those who listen only? If im listening to a book it makes sense to know I've listened to 27% but having read 27% is pretty useless information. Also what on earth does 3/6 in chapter mean??? Sometimes 3/6 stays for 4 pages, sometimes 7, sometimes 2. Some chapters finish on 5/6 and some 6/6. Really disappointed

After the update I can only read a book with a light image. Black is nicer and less skin and no headache. My app theme is already black only when reading no longer. Very unfortunate, hopefully back soon otherwise I'm gone

After the update I miss the green background, that's a big minus. Also, the font size adjustment has changed from sliding to fixed levels, this is also a clear deterioration.
