I made the choice for 1 star because zero, and negative numbers are not an option. The application will frequently re-lock titles. You will not receive any support. My most recent issue is the new iPad. The application is now telling me there are too many devices for the book to be saved on. I was listening to it this morning. So, be careful if you have personal and work phones, or get an additional tablet. And if you travel, make sure you take everything with you so you can listen to the book you downloaded years ago.

Furious. I am a legacy customer, going back to the good ole days of Scribd. Functionality is now ZERO. The company is no longer to be trusted. When I open the app I am fed random "recommendations" of the latest crap they are apparently being paid to push. I don't want recommendations, I want to read the books I search for...but guess what??!! half the time I can't find them (even books I have read before). When I do find a book... one I searched for...it is inevitably "not yet available" because the app has decided that all I get is 1-2? books per month??!! I read a book every few days! Yeah, there are books there for free: those self-published, bad-to-mediocre life improvement books that all have the same sounding title and are written by bots. Or even worse Abridged versions of books apparently created with AI---who wants an abridged version, do they seriously think people won't notice the difference. OMG!!! And this horrid new scam of a business model was just implemented without notifying the customer. No warning, no option to opt out of a yearly subscription (which I have). I have cancelled and I will NEVER go back and NEVER recommend. Thank god for the library. And now an answer? Ha! First of all: my problem is with EVERAND...which used to be Scribd. The company forced me to switch to Everand when they suddenly just became Everand: but we were promised nothing would change. Go and open up a customer ticket??!! What, invest more useless time in your horrible new business model? I cancelled. Just give me the money for the remaining portion of the year I paid for...because the services I paid for are no longer available. I can no longer access the books I want to read. EVERYTHING, literally everything is "not yet available". What a horrid, dystopian joke.

It seems like you pay more and get less. It seems all of the books I want to read or listen to have to be “unlocked.” It wasn’t like that before. I canceled my subscription and will look elsewhere.

The finance capital leeches came in and RUINED IT.

They not only changed the rules and allow you to read ONLY 1 book with standard subscription and 3 with “Premium” one, but when I cancelled my subscription beforehand, even though I still had free trial for another 20 days or so, I couldn’t even use the 2 out of my 3 unlocks. In general, I wouldn’t recommend, it’s super expensive for what you get. They’ve become absolutely horrendous and disappointing. Won’t be coming back.

Horrible!! When it was Scrib it was absolutely wonderful. Now I can’t even play an audiobook longer than 15 minutes and it goes to buffering. I can be right next to my connection and it’s still buffers. I would look for an alternative. It’s so frustrating. I have to turn off my phone and turn it back on again in order for it to work, half the time that doesn’t resolve the issue. I will be canceling my membership.

It used to be one of fave app… But I cancelled and hope they won’t keep charging me like others have experienced. I paid my subscription for this month but I can’t access any book. It’s not even that they’re locking stuff because I’ve already listened to too much stuff, I’ve had access to 0 book. The app keeps telling me I need to subscribe (which I am) and when I click on said « subscribe » button it tells me I am already subscribed… I’ve tried everything (updated it, logged out, uninstalled,..) but nothing changes. Of course I’ve filled a report but they don’t bother answering

Say they have books in stock to download. The second you sign up they change your unavailable. Don’t waste your time. Use audible.
