My TBR thanks you Audrey ✨
Since I’ve downloaded this app I’ve been able to take soo many classics off my TBR list and actually feel like I understood each of them. The guide alway gives you context for each book and I’ve really enjoyed the Spotify playlist they make, as well as the recommendations they show you once you’ve finished reading. Very glad I came across this app.
United StatesIf Audible and your book club admin had a baby
This is everything that I wish all audiobooks could be. I feel like I lose so much when I’m listening to an audiobook. The chapter recaps and character connections that Audrey offers has truly made my audiobook experience so much better. Plus the guide notes?? Are you kidding me?? Gimme more! I love learning! Give Audrey a try!
United StatesA wonderful way to listen
I’m on my second book with Audrey and I just love listening/reading this way. I always find myself googling authors, relevant history, and literary analysis, and Audrey’s experts do all the leg work for you. From photos and illustrations, maps and history lessons, and deep dives into the story and characters, you leave the book feeling more intimately acquainted. Can’t wait to see their catalog grow!
United StatesBest way to listen to the classics
I have now listened to 3 audiobooks with Audrey and it’s the best. The app is user friendly, notes after each chapter/section, depending on how the book is organized. My favorite part is that you only see the notes after you’ve finished a chapter, this helps you not feel overwhelmed with the amount of information as well as not spoil anything! Don’t think twice, try it!
United StatesFun way to read those classic books
I am really enjoying the Audrey app. My first book was the play reading of A Doll’s House, which I won in a giveaway on The StoryGraph. I enjoyed that one so much I have read three more. I like that the guides give me context and kind of hold my hand to make it easier to get into reading those classic books I’ve always heard about but haven’t read. Especially appreciated the context for Picture of Dorian Gray as that’s one I’ve always been curious about. I’m keeping my eye out on future titles as they keep adding more.
United StatesA fresh, inspiring new way to listen to audiobooks!
