| 2024-12-16 |  | | The app looks promising. However, it is a pity that there is no option to read and listen at the same time. Jammer!! I am trying to learn Dutch and it is quite difficult for me to just listen without text.. and when I open the ebook version, there is no audio button.. please improve this. Then you can be one of the best audiobook apps. You are welcome ;) |
| 2024-12-10 |  | | These audiobook plans are getting dumb, but I will give it a try. I'm trying to find a everand alternative. |
| 2024-12-07 |  | | Really love this app! A great growing selection on here! Definitely worth it if you want an alternative to Amazon Run audiobooks |
| 2024-11-25 |  | | App won't let me turn off seeing polish books. I want to listen to a book? Nppe, not today, you can only listen to the polish version for absolutely no reason. |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | Scam. I cancelled my subscription and they kept drawing money, so I had to cancel the subscription again. Bookbeat draws hours if you re-listen the same section of the book you used the sleep-timer for. You can't upgrade your Bookbeat-subscription if the hours run out in the middle of a book. Bookbeat don't have any love for books with their ways of sabotaging the joy of reading. I would not recommend this app. |
| 2024-11-18 |  | | i love this app sm, literally, listening to audiobooks has become my routine, an addiction, 20 zlotys a months a very fair price, theres a great selection of audiobooks, everyone will definitely find sth for urself. if only i could listen to an audiobook and songs on spotify at the same time.... |
| 2024-10-09 |  | | Started this on a free trial and will absolutely stick with it. It's like Netflix for books! I particularly like that you can choose between ebook and audiobook format on most titles. |
| 2024-09-19 |  | | Forced to download app since I can't listen on desktop. Would give zero stars if possible for forcing users to use a mobile device. I would also like to add that some of the narrators are absolutely terrible and that audio quality is at times choppy, like there is buzz on the mic that wasn't edited out in post. Very odd for a paid service. |
| 2024-09-03 |  | | I used this app because I have trouble sleeping. I find there is a great choice of books and recommendations based on my history have helped me discover some gems. I really like that you can alter the speed of the narrator and set a timer for up to 2 hours. It's great value to get 100hours listening on the subscription and you're not tied to one download while you listen - I will quite often be listening to 3 or 4 different books depending on what I feel like at the time. |
| 2024-08-25 |  | | Early days as the selection is limited but hopefully the catalogue will grow. I've found some of the publishers who produce my favourite series are not available on BookBeat. Also bit confused as Lee Child's Jack Reacher series are only in German. As I say, early days..... |
