FREE AUDIO BOOK APPS TRIALI’m in my trial period and have been exploring the app. I tried out Audiobooks because they offered me some free books and a free trial period. Maybe the coders don’t actually use the app, I don’t know, but I’m sure it would be better if they did. Finally searched for “dark tower vi” and found it. He’s written so many books that simply scrolling through a search just for his name wasn’t finding the specific one I wanted. Tried searching for “Stephen king song of” and got an error. I tried searching for “Stephen king dark tower” and it gave me an error. I don’t think it can find books through a partial title search. Although the search function is also lacking. There hasn’t been a single book I’ve searched for that wasn’t available. But overall I like the app and they have a large selection of books. If I lost my place (used the book to help me fall asleep some nights) I’d have a hard time finding it again the next day - I’d screenshot the time I started and I’d then have to find the track that was closest then skip forward or backward in 30 second increments. Also the scrolling could use some work - it won’t allow you to simply drag to a different part. I’d prefer if it allowed you to use chapter selections instead of choosing by track which just wasn’t the same since they aren’t labeled to give you an idea of what part of the book each track covers. FREE AUDIO BOOK APPS SERIESHave only listened to one book so far but it was one of the 28 hour books in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King so I think I gave it a fair shot. We’ll see how things continue to go, but so far I think it’s a good service and a well functioning app. I first listened to the free VIP book “Nudge” and it was surprisingly good! Something I wouldn’t have normally picked to read but thought “why not” and I’m glad I did. I also LOVE that it shows where you are in the book as a whole (like 1:55 of 7:42) but it gives you different tracks within that too! It’s really nice to get to see it broken down in little chunks in addition to your total progress. It helps me get so much more reading in, and you don’t sacrifice quality in the process. FREE AUDIO BOOK APPS PLUSIt’s got a sleep timer, bookmarks for when you want to go back to something that really impacted you, plus the ability to change the speed which I usually bump up to 1.5 when I listen to audiobooks now. Not only does it have a good selection of books, plus an additional VIP book per month, the app function itself is ideal. I’ve just started using this app, but it seems to be everything you need and nothing you don’t.
