United StatesListen to first-class performances and sound from a variety of publishers at an affordable price. Masterful presentations vividly bring to life six centuries of literary masterpieces on our pioneering streaming service, the Naxos Spoken Word Library.
Just unreliable
Random logouts, stalled streams, failed transfers from one Bluetooth audio device to the next. There is a lot of bad code undiscovered by a developer with obviously flawed test methodology. App can’t recall the last book I was listening to or the place where I left off half the time. Content seems great, if you can get it to play and are willing to tough it out to keep it playing back content. There are not sufficient settings to tune (prev track option on headset should be configured to jump back 10s, not half a chapter. You should probably just fire your developers, restart from scratch and pay the Overcast people to make you a better app.
United StatesI love the library and I hate this app
The app is so terrible, I might need to cancel my subscription, which would be a shame because the audiobook library is so good. Why must I log in every time I open the app again? Half the time, the screen freezes when I open the app, and I can’t even login at all. Can you at least enable facial recognition for the login routine, to save us all a lot of time and trouble? Even better — don’t make us login every single time we open the app.
United StatesThis is possibly the worst app ever made.
I truly app grateful that this app is available to use since I am a college student on a limited budget with lots of books to read. Nevertheless: I wonder whether the people at Naxos even care whether their apps work well. This app is crap. It stops downloading if the screen goes into standby. That’s ridiculous. There’s no fast forward or rewind buttons in the standby screen mode. The app will only allow a certain amount megabytes to be downloaded, apparently, even when you have many gigabytes left in storage. The app crashes repeatedly for no apparent reason. Naxos would know this if they even bothered to use their own app to see how it works. Either they haven’t done this (which makes no sense if you cared whether your app works well), or they have done this and just don’t care that their app is crap.
United StatesUseless.
Can’t subscribe via app & subscription signup via website doesn’t work. Site design & coding from the Dark Ages. Useless.
United StatesTerrible app
This app is virtually unusable at this point. I’ve downloaded an audiobook several times to listen offline but the playback always fails a couple of minutes in. What’s the point of having an audiobook app if it won’t play the audiobook. iPhone 11, btw. Update this app.
United StatesGreat w/ Institution Access
My college has a subscription to the Naxos Spoken Word Library, so with an access code from the college librarian, I have free access to all these great titles! Unlike other reviewers, I’ve had no problem searching the collection on the app and browsing too. Great app for audio book lovers.
United StatesIn need of a major update.
This app is in need of a major update. When it works it is very, very good, but it unfortunately shuts down all the time. I have to hold my breathe, cross my fingers and say my prayers all while I start an audio book. Please debug it! The main reason I subscribe to Naxos Spoken Word Audio is because of the possibility of listening by way of the app.
United States
New contemporary design, with enhanced user experience and performance. Improved functionality, ‘clear cache’, playback speed selection and ‘remember me’ log in feature have also been added. Bugs fixed.
