| 2024-12-04 |  | | I enjoy the discounted audiobooks, but the chirp app itself has much to be desired. Playback after pausing an audiobook resets where you are in the chapter and then will not play until you close out of the app and reopen. I would hope this is something that will be fixed soon because chirp sounds cool, but I would go to google books, libro.fm, audible or something else if they just don't really care that much to have a product that actually works. |
| 2024-11-27 |  | | The app never keeps it's place when you're listening. It restarts chapters everytime you pause and that's if it even gets the chapter right. It also won't start playing again until you close and restart the app. It's fundamentally flawed and barley usable. I'll redownload in a few months and hope it's fixed, though I doubt it since this has been happening for years. |
| 2024-11-10 |  | | I need Androidauto support. Without that it is useless while driving. I have CR-V 2024 hybrid turing. This the top end model of the CR-V series. I would like to use all the features this automobile provides including android auto. I can do bluetooth to listen to Chirp books but I lose the ability to navigate using google maps and a lot of other conveniences this automobile provides. If you people are unable to provide androidauto compatibility, many people are locked out. |
| 2024-10-25 |  | | Don't be fooled by Chirp's deals on books. As long as you have to use this awful app to listen, it's NOT worth your money. I'm only 8% into my book, and I can't tell you how many times the app has glitched because I've lost count. It has only kept my place in the book MAYBE three times. Every other time I have to find my place from the end of the previous chapter, and that's IF the play button works. I don't know when it decides to work and when it doesn't. And during play, it often loses sound. |
| 2024-10-13 |  | | I like the service and the number of books offered. However, the app is a glitchy. It sometimes doesn't save my place and starts at the beginning of the section. Other times, the play button isn't responsive and requires me to close and reopen the app to work properly. |
| 2024-09-27 |  | | When I purchased this series of audiobooks, I did not realize they were read by AI. The basic mispronunciations really started to irritate me by the end. Even the heroine's name was mispronounced once. In addition to that, there were a number of audio errors in editing where there was a loud brief sound, as if something was re-recorded but it wasn't started at exactly the right place, also very annoying. |
| 2024-09-08 |  | | I listened to this audio book while alone on a long drive and it made the trip much more enjoyable. The reader was excellent and I really liked the story and the well drawn characters. I felt it did leave one loose end, and even though the resolution was implied I would have liked for it to have been fleshed out in detail. Otherwise it was a great book and I highly recommend it. |
| 2024-09-03 |  | | I thoroughly enjoyed Magical Blends. it was especially nice listening to it. being able to work on other things while listening to the book was great. I didn't have to choose between reading and projects! 😆 the story was fun, good character development, and interesting storyline. the audio quality was very good. I sometimes have difficulty hearing or understanding certain voices, but no issues with this story. Thanks |
| 2024-08-27 |  | | I love the platform ans the selection. I DON'T like the actual app. It freezes at times. It REFUSES to hold its place in a chapter. I can't go back into the app and press play. I can't start the app back up after it's closed from the snooze button. It's functionality as an app is TERRIBLE. I love the books, but it's HARD to try and play them in the app. |
| 2024-08-16 |  | | I bought quite a few books to listen to and I keep having to close out and reopen the app multiple times during each chapter. I dont recall it doing this in the past. Now I have to press play for each chapter and can't even finish one without having to closing out the app multiple times to finish it. It's getting quite frustrating. |
