The app is so terrible, I might need to cancel my subscription, which would be a shame because the audiobook library is so good. Why must I log in every time I open the app again? Half the time, the screen freezes when I open the app, and I can’t even login at all. Can you at least enable facial recognition for the login routine, to save us all a lot of time and trouble? Even better — don’t make us login every single time we open the app.

I truly app grateful that this app is available to use since I am a college student on a limited budget with lots of books to read. Nevertheless: I wonder whether the people at Naxos even care whether their apps work well. This app is crap. It stops downloading if the screen goes into standby. That’s ridiculous. There’s no fast forward or rewind buttons in the standby screen mode. The app will only allow a certain amount megabytes to be downloaded, apparently, even when you have many gigabytes left in storage. The app crashes repeatedly for no apparent reason. Naxos would know this if they even bothered to use their own app to see how it works. Either they haven’t done this (which makes no sense if you cared whether your app works well), or they have done this and just don’t care that their app is crap.

Can’t subscribe via app & subscription signup via website doesn’t work. Site design & coding from the Dark Ages. Useless.

This app is virtually unusable at this point. I’ve downloaded an audiobook several times to listen offline but the playback always fails a couple of minutes in. What’s the point of having an audiobook app if it won’t play the audiobook. iPhone 11, btw. Update this app.

My college has a subscription to the Naxos Spoken Word Library, so with an access code from the college librarian, I have free access to all these great titles! Unlike other reviewers, I’ve had no problem searching the collection on the app and browsing too. Great app for audio book lovers.

This app is in need of a major update. When it works it is very, very good, but it unfortunately shuts down all the time. I have to hold my breathe, cross my fingers and say my prayers all while I start an audio book. Please debug it! The main reason I subscribe to Naxos Spoken Word Audio is because of the possibility of listening by way of the app.

Pros: You can listen to the entire Naxos Spoken Word Catalog Cons: You can't browse the catalog (must know the specific author or title), you can't favorite books, no captions on the screen, have to wait at least 1 hour to use the app if you forget to log off their website (even if your computer is turned off!) I hope they improve this app!

- The streaming needs improvement. I get more streaming errors than I'd like. I listen to Pandora radio for hours which is free and no streaming problems. It costs $150 to listen to the naxos aduiobooks. - The interface is subpar. When I get a streaming error, it will start over at the beginning of a section. I cannot fast forward within a section, only to another section. I've listened to the beginning of the same section at least three times. I have a free audiobook interface with free books that is much better. I hope they upgrade this interface soon. At this point, I don't plan to auto renew next year.
