Reviews for Everand: Audiobooks & Ebooks

Everand has slowly ruined what was once an incredible reading platform (Scribd) with a greed that is heartbreaking by comparison, and I have canceled, (which also loses me access to all my already unlocked titles!!) There are very few free titles left that you can read if you are an avid listener without unlocking them first. This means that the app is not much different than Audible anymore, but with far less availability. You also LOSE your credits if you don't use it within a month! Avoid.

Deserves 0 stars. Their marketing has done very well at concealing that in order to listen to anything you've paid for and unlocked you have to have a CURRENT subscription. Yes they are cheaper than audible but at least audible lets you keep and listen to what you paid for. Not to mention the UI is horrid everything is dumped in the same place there's no clear location for the things you've unlocked and others you've "wish listed". I am absolutely LIVID and DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Honestly, I used to love this app. The rebranding and such wasn't bad and didn't come with anything negative, so my enjoyment of the app remained the same. I ended up canceling my subscription for a long while due to financial issues and then tonight I decided to give it another go. The new subscription system, now being like audible, but a lot worse is annoying. The massive book list I could once listen to for the single sub fee, now require unlocks per book (like audible credits). Smh.

So disappointed. I was looking for an alternative to KU but this feels like a scam. Extremely difficult to navigate. I spent nearly 30 mins trying to filter out the "Unlimited" titles included in my membership and literally could not find them. This service literally wants you to pay 11.99 per month for a single unlocked title and then pay for each individual title you want to read. I'm so sick of these services nickle and diming us so much. It's exhausting.

It seems like a great app if you are a reader and not a listener. As a housekeeper, I listen to audiobooks most days while I work, which is, on average, 2-3 books a week. So, only being able to unlock 3 titles a month is just not enough for me. I would consider this app again if there were more titles available for free or even to purchase after I used my unlocks.

I finally gave up on this app after taking a break due to repeated technical issues and giving it another chance. The issues that have been going on for years have not been fixed and have just gotten worse- the app stops constantly which is a huge pain while driving as you have to keep pressing the play button when it stops playing. At first it would mostly only stop playing when I was driving but not it does so all the time and you HAVE to be online to even play a book now. TERRIBLE app!!

the most I can say for this app is that it has a lot of the titles I'm looking for. otherwise, it is just way too expensive for what it offers. I tried to use this as an alternative to kindle and audible, but I'm planning on just using libby from now on - I'd rather have long hold times than pay $12 a month for one book that isn't even mine to keep. I wish everand would listen to its users and go back to their old model, but until they do, I'm not wasting $12 on this anymore.

This app changed so much. It used to have a $12.99 subscription for unlimited audiobooks. Now they have LOCKED books and you only get 1 unlock for $11.99 and 3 unlocks for $16.99. And their "unlimited" selection SUCKS! AND you only get 1 UNLOCK in the "free trial" which isn't much of a free trial. They need to fix this in a way to make actual Unlimited titles as before with the latter pricing or something or else they'll lose subscribers. It's become very annoying . Waste of money.

too expensive to not work. I pay for books, and have them downloaded and saved and everything, but the app does not work offline. I paid for the book, I should be able to read in whenever I want- in airplane mode, in the woods camping, or wherever. asking for help and troubleshooting sucks. I was so hopeful to get rid of the other main competitor app that rhymes with spindle but I guess I can't.

I’ve subscribed to Everand for years. The selection was always extensive, even if I couldn’t find the newest books. Recently, they switched to a tiered model where “premium” titles require higher subscriptions. The problem is the lowest tier now costs the same as the one with no unlocks. I’ve tried upgrading, but keep getting errors, and support hasn’t been able to help. At this point, it’s more frustrating than useful.
