I've been using it audiobooks for about a year now. I miss the unlimited books (2/month is just not enough) but it's still probably the best price per book at the moment. However if I find a site that's cheaper I would probably switch to them (maybe if Audiobooks had a chance to get more free credits).

Deceptive Membership
March 18, 2024

When you try out their membership for free and try to cancel it later, it won't cancel after the first click. That would be OK since it is a big action, but guess what? It won't cancel even after the SECOND click. You need to click it THREE TIMES. Not to mention the last cancel button is quite hidden (LIKE YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SEE IT). They need to work on their UX/UI design quite a lot because right now it is horrendous and unfortunately DEVIOUS. It could have been remedied by giving a user an immediate option to cancel the subscription without the need to scroll an overwhelming chunk of information.

I absolutely love this app! As a busy single mom with a full time job and a jammed packed evening schedule, I never have time to read! By the time I get into bed at night, I'm too tired to read! Audiobooks has allowed me to read all the books I want to read, the best sellers, popular book club reads, without having to take time out of my schedule. I listen to my audiobooks on my phone in the morning as I'm getting ready for work, in the car to and from work, in the car driving my daughter to all her activities, while sitting at her sports practice, making dinner, etc. While I do love a paperback book, Audiobooks is just so convenient. My only complaint is that there have been a few readers that I haven't loved. One reader kept accenting the wrong words in the sentences and it was terribly annoying. My favorite is when the author reads his/her own book.

Site is ok
January 21, 2015

Site is ok. My most favorite aspect is they have a lot of the new release books soon after release. My least favorite is they charge the same amount for a 40 hour long book as they do an hour long one. Also they are missing a lot of great books from their library.

What in the world?
March 29, 2018

I guess I signed up for a free trial but struggled to download a book. This is not a user friendly website. I ended up paying twice for this stupid website and can only be refunded for one month of it. You need an app to download a book so you can't download a book on the computer, then it has to link up to the phone. It was very confusing. When I tried to explain how I wasn't sure if I even downloaded a book to the costumer service representative she was extremely rude and condescending. I would not recommend this service to anyone.

I cancelled my subscription the day after starting due to not having the author that had been linked to them in a search. I have been charged for two months now, customer service is not doing anything correct this.

Audiobooks.com is a great site! I had a delightful experience with them. They had all the titles I was looking for and their app made it easy to take my book wherever I wanted without losing my place. I also love their competent customer service who responded quickly and effectively to me.

I cancelled service with Audiobooks.com in less than a month of having the service as they did not have books I wanted. Several months later I noticed they were still billing my account. Upon calling to address the issue multiple times, they would only refund one month of fees despite the face I did not use any of the monthly credits. The suggestion was I could use the credits anytime. They take back the credit after if you don't use it within 90 days. It's a trap to take your money, not customer service oriented in anyway. If you cancel be sure to follow up within 30 days! I was forced to get my bank involved.

I was given audiobooks.com as a gift. I wouldn't recommend audiobooks for the following reasons. First, a computer option is not available. Second, there are a limited number of books (many of my first choices were not available). Third, the app works poorly with my books returning to the beginning chapter every time I pause or stop them mid-chapter.

This company is a thief!
February 26, 2017

They're smart for hiding the cancel membership button from the website. I cannot even find any remove payment method on it. For some reason my visa card is remembered on it and im so frustrated trying to find where the delete account is!
