Roald Dahl Audiobooks

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!

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.

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 very bad

ITS A SCAM

I know all you out there is like “oh this is so bad” but it is not all books are on here it’s great make sure you download this it is brilliant!!👍🏻 this book is kinda bad as well because you have to pay for the books it sucks👿

The downloaded books aren’t kept in the iPad. I have to download them every time. Very annoying

Totally pony app - just bought a story and confirmed and there’s no reference of it under purchases... pretty sad as this is an established brand on regards to author and publisher.

I’ve tried to download books from the app and they don’t download. Instead it has got me to pay for a book twice and tried to get me to buy it 3 times! When I complained, the email bounced back. I’m reporting the app, it’s a scam!

This is very poor. I’ve purchased 12 of these titles and now the app is asking for money and does not recognise that I’ve bought them. The send feedback button is a joke and gives an email address that returns as undeliverable. Please restore my purchases developers! This is terribly poor.
