User Reviews

• “I couldn’t enjoy reading for long.” I kept getting tired of following the words on the page and would stop books unfinished—until I found Audible. I really enjoy it, and it brought back my interest in novels. Listening through a simple app with great narrators (and good subscription pricing, in my opinion) makes me genuinely look forward to the stories in my library. Thanks, Audible!
• “Best audiobook resource I’ve used.” Lots of titles, subscription pricing is strong, and there are plenty of sales. Update 03/02/2026: I recently got a new phone. When I tried to continue a title, my progress didn’t transfer for some reason. Not a big problem, but a bit inconvenient. Still an amazing app.
• “Perfect for trying plans.” There are many plans to choose from. Cheaper plans don’t include buying books—you’re essentially renting. Higher-tier options keep titles for life. A couple times per year I buy a book I don’t like or can’t stand the reader. They refund without hassle. Just be sure to check timing—returns should be within 1 year.
• “Great for commuting.” I listen on my drive to and from work—business, nonfiction, and fiction. I arrive calmer than I do with music. Some narrator voices feel like full performances. Tip: listen to a sample before purchasing so you know you’ll enjoy the voice for the whole book.
