Two devices needed

Great choice of books. The quality of each book is fantastic. The problem is I cannot purchase the books with an iphone. I must purchase the book on an android device. After that I can download and listen to the book on my iphone. If it wasn't for this I would give Audiobooksnow 5 stars.

THANKFUL

I am happy with the variety and cost of these audiobooks you provide.
I have problems with my eyes and cannot read very well so the audiobooks help me a great deal.
Thank you.

Audiobooks

I am listening to books from my favorite authors. It is expensive but I’m not paying full price for these audio books. Savings from audiobooks now is OK.

I wish I could clear old bookmarks out

I wish I could clear old bookmarks out, and I don’t understand why it starts to read as soon as a bookmark is placed? I mean typically the placement of a bookmark indicates an individual is at least taking a pause... not just placing it it to go back to in the future.
Just some small bugs I am sure can be fixed. I do think they have a good selection, but not necessarily a great one.

Thank you for your time to explain the bookmark feature; would it be a problem to include that information, just some info about the functions of your different features? I think if it was available even in the FAQ I would have not had any issues except to request a better “selection” and I would have rated your app 4Stars because requesting a larger selection is nit-picking.

We are working on a way to delete bookmarks you have manually created. Our apps automatically create a bookmark every 30 seconds as you listen to the book. It also creates one when you touch the "Pause" button so if you just want to take a quick brake, it's best to touch the "Pause" button. The manual bookmark and labeling feature is meant for bookmarking and labeling a specific place in the book for future reference.

Customer service is not vey good

Customer service is not vey good! I bought a book that is almost impossible to listen to as volume is so low compared to other books I bought there! First they say it is not and when I disagree it is rhey then say they will look in to it! Nothing about returning the book!!

We are waiting on the publisher to send us a new copy so we can compare it to the copy we have. We will let you know as soon as we have an update. I have added a $5 credit to your account for the inconvenience.

I greatly enjoy using audiobooksnow

I greatly enjoy using audiobooksnow. They have a wide variety of genres and authors. The books usually download properly and if they don't, it is easy enough to remove and reload. I mostly listen to these books from my phone, either in my car or through headsets around the house. I would like to see it be a little less costly, or maybe some type of points program.
