Reviews for Black Library Audio

If they add a audio book queue and improve some of the lower level functions such as the search engine having more targeted search options and its power consumption this would be a 5* easy. The audio book selection is really good though and it's updated regularly which is also a plus. A rating system for users would help people find the books they're more interested in faster.

Needs the option to download over mobile data. Bought two books while I was at work and found out it wouldn't allow me to download at all because there was no wifi. a lot of people have enough data to not care about downloading a book. Regularly closes the book if paused for a while meaning you need to pull your phone out multiple times to pick your book manually again.

Good books, but the app is terrible. Any notification causes the book to pause and be removed from now playing. Other media being played, however, does not pause book playback. Please allow playback to continue through notifications. Or at least to resume playing after the notification. Occasionally, the playback is stopped without any accompanying notification or apparent cause.

I love the audio books but gosh, every time my phone gets a notification they pause. That means that if I would like to listen to them in bed without blasting light into my eyes to unpause it then I have to put my phone in aeroplane mode. you can't even remedy this by using a different player since the phone will not allow you to see the audio files in the black library folder, otherwise I would have just used my music player or Google music to play it. such a shame!

It's ok. Simple platform. However it has issues when scrolling in the store (flicking off what I'm trying to select and opening something different), when I receive notifications the audio stops and doesn't restart, and the player doesn't keep track of what's playing making me have to go into library to select my file to continue listening. Audible is a more reliable platform, would recommend Devs to take notes on functionality. Also a sleep timer would be nice.

Bizarre app for a few reasons. Not only do the books I've purchased directly through black library not appear in the app, but books are actually more expensive via the app compared to buying directly on Black Library or through Audible, etc. I'm not sure what the point of this app is in it's current state. If you want to lock the books to be only usable from your proprietary app, at least make them cheaper.

Not a bad little app, only complaints is even if you're not listening to anything the app inserts itself into your notifications with a resume button that doesn't work, and also the last few minutes of every book don't play - they're there, I can move the timeline to them but when I hit play it plays a split second and then skips back to chapter 1. Bit frustrating.

Have only tried out one book so far, but it works just fine. Like any other podcast/audiobook app except for 40k. EDIT: I cannot download unless on WiFi. Very frustrating. Aren't most people listening to audio books while traveling? Traveling most often equals using 4G or 5G. Severely cripples the usefulness of this app.

This app is horrendous. It's constantly closing the audio book, forcing me to pull my phone out and re-select it. Almost always it's starting up minutes off from where it should be. Anytime I get a message I have to start it up again it doesn't auto play. What a totally frustrating app. Use Audible. Its such a superior exper5.

I've downloaded the app intermittently but the problem I face is that the app drains my battery even after I've left the app. The only thing I can say it does well is facilitate the listening to audiobooks and dramas that I don't have in my Audible library. Then again, the technical issues are more important. I hope they fix them soon.
