1. 5/5Great app with one major (to me) issue

   I’ve been an audible member for over ten years. I listen to books daily and have generally enjoyed this app. However, the bookmarking process is constantly frustrating. I use bookmarks continuously as I listen. Not just for identifying notable passages, but to mark my current page t in the story - in case I accidentally skip to a different section or the app glitches, etc. When bookmarking, a confirmation popup window appears. Until recently, the window disappeared on its own (though it stayed much too long). Now though, it won’t go away without manually closing the window. For someone who bookmarks continuously, this is very frustrating. Now I have an extra step every time. I’d love to have the option to disable this intrusive confirmation. Instead, the developer could make the bookmark button temporarily change color or some other subtle acknowledgement. Other than this, the fact that the app seems to reload or refresh like a browser periodically is my other complaint. Since books I’m listening to are downloaded to my device, I shouldn’t have to wait on the app to establish some internet connection before allowing me to open the player and listen to my books. This generally takes a few seconds, but sometimes can take longer. Either way, it’s not necessary and was never an issue until about the last year. Overall, a solid app that could benefit from a couple refinements. Search feature is nice; I like the options for organizing the library; and the recommendations have been okay.

2. 5/5Must have , water the brain stem. Have more culture than the yogurt you’re eating!

   This app has allowed me to read more books in a year then I probably would in a lifetime with my line of work.I don’t have the time to stop and read as much as I would like to send a Audible makes it so that I don’t have to read I can keep working and listening and growing the library in my head. There is only one thing I would suggest to change, and it would not be to change for fordable the app itself. It would be for the authors of certain books to have the option of different narrators. The Witcher series of books is one of them. I happen to like it but my bride cannot take the way this man narrates. She told me I should record it reading it to her and she would listen to it. She is blind and cannot read obviously so this is her only outlet with such good books on hand. I think that would be a good idea to have a choice of a male, female, maybe even somebody with an English accent lol. I know eventually with the technology they’ll be able to have anybody’s voice read to you but it won’t be the same without the flexion in the voice and the tonality put where it supposed to be sarcasm and so on. The guy who narrates the Witcher series happens to have a very hard way of speaking and it’s abrupt that’s the only thing that made me think that would be a cool feature to have is multiple narrators for the same story. I have made more people join Audible then the army has gotten recruits this year!! Read on readers!!!!

3. 5/5Facts

   All the tips are simple, no brainer, common sense, but they’re surely not commonly practiced. These tips are things I’ve learned along the way of many failed conversations and arguments. We are taught to go to college and make money, and work, as equals with men, then our relationship doesn’t work, they don’t seem to hear us at home, or in the workforce. The is because we are different. The way women communicate with each other, friends or foe, isn’t the same way men communicate with their friends or enemies, so why would we think if we use our communication skills with men, it would translate? This is another dynamic. You may feel like the woman has to change in order to be heard, but a man would have to change to be heard with a woman who is struggling to communicate with a man, and both parties have to give a little, for this to work. These tips allow women to be heard in the way a man can receive her, and it will guide him to feel as ease around her and not clam up, or explode! I want healthy families and relationships for our people, and what more important than how to communicate with your husband, the father of your children? These tactics could also work in the workforce, tailored to the situation. I bet there has never been a better book written on this subject. Just try it out, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Truly, I’m not just saying that. I’m glad I chose this book over thousands of others. It rings true when you listen.

4. 5/5Amazing!!

   A must read!! I came across Unmasking Alice thinking it was a story about a young lady, her addiction and her journal. I started this audible book and was two chapters in when I mentioned it to my son. He said if you are going to listen to that book I suggest you first listen to Go Ask Alice. He also suggested(my son) a podcast of Eric Emerson’s interview on his book. It almost deterred me from listening to Go Ask Alice but my curiosity got the best of me. I went in knowing it was all lies(Go Ask Alice) from the little information I’d gathered so it was difficult to finish. Finally I finished it and was an apprehensive about going back to Unmasking Alice because at this point I felt I got what I needed from the podcast. I also like to finish what I start so back to Unmasking Alice I went and WOW!!! I’m so glad I did! Eric Emerson did a phenomenal job with his works on all of the stories that tied together so many lives! I couldn’t stop listening to his book. I am just amazed at how he brought everyone together from ground zero and never had me bored, uninterested or ready to shelf the book. I even listened to the epilogue! Also being the mom of a history major who is so passionate about his work as a librarian/archivist I so appreciated the tag at the end about the respect and appreciation for those who work in the libraries and as archivists that made it possible for Eric Emerson to write and complete his book. I highly recommend this book!!

5. 5/5Business and Life Changing!

   As a financial advisor, husband, and father this book has completely opened my eyes! I am not ashamed to admit that more than once my eyes filled with tears while listening to this. Not because it is a tear-jerker or some harrowing story, nothing of the sort. Rather it turned the “mirror” and showed what my life has become and road it is leading me down. I consider myself successful as an advisor, I have won awards, been asked to speak at industry events, and do great work for my clients. However, this book forced me to look at my personal life in a different way. I have an amazing, beautiful wife, and two great kids who I hardly see or spend quality time with. Work has become my life. Days, nights sometimes, and even weekends I can be found in front of my computer or on the phone with a client. What’s worse is that I have set this expectation in my family’s eyes. Just this morning I had to pick my 8y/o daughter up from school because she was sick. I took her home, set her up on the couch, and started working in my home office. I came out to check on her after an hour or so and asked how she was feeling. My daughter: “I’m ok. I threw-up, but I feel better now.” Me: “When did you throw up?!” Her: “About 30 min ago” Me: “Why didn’t you come get me?” Her: “You were working, and I didn’t want to interrupt you.” Let that sink in for a minute. I am still trying to process it myself. This book is about transforming into the person, husband/wife, father/mother, and professional we should all be striving to be.

1. 1/5

   There is a single bug which made me cancel my subscription and use Spotify instead. The skip 30s feature does not work on Galaxy Watch 8 media remote controls, it skips the whole chapter instead. Audible customer service insisted that my watch was at fault, despite Spotify supporting the same 30s skip just fine on the built-in media remote controls. I rely so heavily on skipping back without having to unlock my phone that this makes Audible unusable when on the go.

2. 3/5

   My only gripe is that I would like an option to start the sleep timer automatically everything I resume (hit play) I use it in bed and forget to reset the sleep timer and wake up and at 3am with it playing half the book and have to backtrack to the beginning instead of 30 mins. Smart audiobook player implements this and a few more features. Seems lacking in features for the money Amazon get. review was from 2020 and since then nothing new that I like

4. 5/5

   I used to be a huge reader when I was a kid. As a grown-up, I could never find time to read. Audible has brought books back into my life. I got to re-experience all my old favorites, and the fact that there are so many amazing voice actor/narrators is really cool. I've also been able to find multiple new series that I love, and I listen to audiobooks all the time. Driving, cooking, cleaning, eating, at bedtime, in the shower and many more activities and places are excellent for Audible. Cheers.
