This summer, Alexander launches a themed season on water ecosystems. Stories on the lives of endangered aquatic species such as the dugong and vaquita, and the people who exist alongside them.

Disappointed with content
While I love old stories from Shirley Hazzard, etc. I was disappointed there were no contemporary cover stories from excellent non-fiction sources like The Christian Science Monitor, New Yorker, Esquire, Atlantic, etc. Will likely not renew the free trial.
United StatesTerrible business practice
App offers a trial period in which it would supposedly notify user when trial period is about to end and then charge subscription fee. Never received a notification as such, and found that I am being charged an annual subscription fee, an option I never selected. There is no in app account support for users, nor any customer support number available. Without any resolution on the table, I feel cheated out of my money.
United Statesgreat concept, glitchy app
such a great concept and i would’ve absolutely LOVED this app if it wasn’t so glitchy. it would play about 2 minutes of audio before the entire app would crash and i would have to reload it, find the story i was listening to, scroll through and find my place, and repeat. it was so tedious i just gave up. once the bugs are fixed this app will be amazing!

Changing my initial review to 3. The content is great so I purchased the subscription. Two days later the app still won’t open, anything I do just spots out “give us the money” page. While within the app I’m “subscribed” and the confirmation from Apple states the money went though their response was very lax and casual as to go through the process again (I did, twice, even though I’m already subscribed), nada. So still waiting for something to happen. If they won’t fix it will have to contact Apple and get a refund and worst of all, waste time on this all. Annoyed.

It does not work
United StatesWant to give a try but it doesnt work
Hi developer, I wanted to use your app but it does not allow me to sign up. It is always saying “the username exist” while there is no field named username; plus, I double checked my email address, all correct and first time used. Also tried to sign up with another email, it came thru but no verification code sent. So disappointed!
United StatesMy go-to audiobook app !
Intriguing books read by intriguing artists, and even under an hour long for those under time constraints, such as ‘Passion of Faraj S.’ about an Iranian journalist resonating themes such as Beckett’s ‘Waiting for Godot,’ if looked in depth, or Ionesco's ‘The Lesson.’ Or.. ‘Where we come from , where we’re going’ a delicate book about artists living in a delicate part of the world , read delicately by David Oyelowo! These are just to name a few; I encourage everyone to explore the books on Alexander and raise your awareness.
