Scam

Debited my account for the book (Charlie and the chocolate factory) but will not play and simply tries to make me pay again. My emails have been unanswered. I am so disappointed in Penguin Random House.

Missing books

I bought a couple of books, the app stopped working, I deleted and reinstalled the app and now all my purchased books are missing. No option to contact the developers.

Witches

App keeps asking me to purchase the book again and nothing opens. I’ve sent emails complaining and requesting support but they have been ignored.

Books

Good: Thanks so much for letting us have the ability to not only read the awesome Rauld Dahl books, but to hear it. Whenever we used to go on holiday we always listened to a book. My fave book is Charlie And The Glass Elevator. Bad: Nothing is bad about it so far! I’ve had it for about five years and I luuurve it!! ♥️♥️♥️

Books not playing

I have bought a book and it will not play. The app keeps asking me to buy it again and again and still nothing. Very disappointing. Wasted my money!

Awful - DON’T BUY!!

I downloaded this so the kids would listen to some audiobooks on a long car journey. I purchased four books but none will play on my iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 16.6. The money has been taken and I’ve nothing to show for it. Have fed this back to the developers but had no response so I’m £12 down. It’s not a lot of money but feel very irritated that it’s been wasted. Save your money and use Apple Audiobooks instead - more expensive but at least you have something to listen to!

Family sharing

My children cannot listen to my purchase on their own devices! Purchases can only be shared using the same Apple ID. So options are paying again for each child or my children using my Apple ID and thereby having full access to my phone and an adult account! Buy it from somewhere else where you can actually share it with your children.

Censoring art is abhorrent

The books are fantastic, and the prices are fair, but you don’t really own them despite paying for them. The files are completely locked to this iOS app. You can’t even transfer and use them on your mac or put them on an MP3 player to listen to them on the move. If my iPad dies (which it did recently but managed to repair it) then I lose the books and the money I paid for them because I can’t even transfer the files to my Mac to back them up. I’d have to buy a new iOS device to reinstall the app. Basically I’m sick of buying things that you don’t really ever own. I have “purchased” (though it’s more like renting!) one book, but since I can’t play it anywhere but this app on one device, I won’t be buying any more. “Developer Response 20 Nov Hi there, and thanks for your feedback. Just to clarify, you can install the app and download your purchased items on multiple devices” Well that’s not true is it. This app is only available in iTunes and only on iOS devices, so I can’t even use the app on my MacBook despite it being an apple product. What you mean is, it will work on an iPad or an iPhone. But nothing else. And again, you’re idea of “download” and everyone else’s are completely different. As I said before, the files are locked into the app and are not movable to say, my MP3 player or even my MacBook. So I have hardly downloaded the files (that I have paid for!) have i?! I’ll add to all this, the disgusting decision to allow the woke brigade to censor and rewrite parts of Dahls books is an act of fascism.

it's unfair

it's very bad
