UPDATE AGAIN: 😡I'm not a happy camper Idk what's going on with this app but it keeps not loading or will blink out all of a sudden. The only way to get it back is to uninstall & reinstall, which takes away the mins I already incurred even logging back on my account. I had 600 mins & now they're just gone! & no way of getting them back! I'm so mad! 😡Getting mins now isn't easier. You have to sit through 2 long ads just to get 5 mins. Smdh please fix

Enjoy the stories so far so good. It kinda isn't good that I can't purchase a membership but other than that. I mean, it is free. You just have to suffer through the commercials, but you can suffer through a many of them and have multiple hours of time, if you're willing Update: I purchased 60 minutes & app took the money, but haven't given me my 60 minutes. ..☹️

*edit* i see in the review below me that this is an ongoing issue that should have been fixed with the most recent update but it doesn't look like it has. It would be the best audiobook app if that function worked :( App would be great if the ads would load, if fixed i will change to 5 stars.

The app was going great, but as soon as you run out of time it won't let you watch an ad. It keeps buffering. As someone who doesn't want to commit to a subscription to listen to audiobooks this app would've been perfect if this issue was resolved. A lot of reviewers are complaining about the same thing. Please, fix this :(

Love the books and the easy way to get free minutes. My eyes are bad can't read the books very well. Love the audio books. I listened to them every day. On a fixed income can not afford the subscription for the books. This app so far are the best I have came across so far. Do have whisper FM downloaded but the free minutes adds went up and sometimes there are a limit on the ads to listen for free.

I've used a couple of apps like Freewave where you watch ads to gain time to listen to audiobooks. And I've discovered a few things are very important. One, the books have to be worth it. ✔️ Two, the time received for the amount of ads has to be worth it within reason. ✔️✔️ And Lastly, their support team needs to be responsive in case anything goes wrong.✔️✔️✔️ This week there was an issue on the app and they responded faster than anticipated and were amazing! I would highly recommend this app!

Was enjoying the app and now not so much. It won't allow the adds to fully play for minutes and I've done uninstalled and reinstalled but still not working properly.. I've lost minutes from the ads I've watched.. and since I can't get through to talk to someone about it or save my progression on my books it would be helpful to create an account to save my progress would be a good idea.

The best of its kind. You can use ads for time or subscribe. You can run ads together to gather up time to listen without interruption. I run the ads while I'm doing housework or watching a show, then have tons of listening time for running errands or road trips. I've been able to check out several different books & authors to figure out if I want to actually spend money on a subscription. The pace of the narration is just right. Absolutely needs a sleep timer though

It was fantastic in the beginning but after a few days it asks permission to sell my information then quits loading ads altogether. Deleting and reinstalling does no good. I have it on 2 devices and it happened on both at different times, it seems as though it has a time limit on how much you can listen before it basically shuts down. Which is a shame because I was really enjoying it.

Love this app. Not crazy about the glitch that prevents me from watching the ads to give free listen time now. I've restarted my phone, updated the app, and un-installed and re installed the app... seems to be an issue that those old solutions won't fix. Only started in the last few weeks so maybe it will be fixed soon.

The pictures of the books looked really interesting, but wouldn't let me read the description. Then, after only a short, not quite a chapter, I had to watch an ad for only 5 minutes more of reading. But it wouldn't download the ad, so now I can't finish the book. You get one star only because zero stars aren't an option. Fix this disaster, and I would love to reinstall.

I Love how I can listen for as long as I want as long as I have enough minutes! I like to be able to have the option to watch adds to get minutes. The only thing is now after the last add the whole app is black! I even re started my phone, but that didn't help. I can't get back in! Please help! If that hadn't happened, I would have given it 5 stars.

I had high hopes for this app, but you can't listen more than 30 minutes because the ads don't work. I uninstalled and reinstalled it many times, tried both to not sell my data, and to sell my data (because of other reviews), I tried on mobile network and wifi. Clicking on the ad button will result in it saying an ad is loading, and you can now watch it, but clicking ok only makes the box disappear. Clicking it multiple times says you need to take a break from watching as if they played.

I really loved this app and would have given it 10 stars if possible but now there is a problem and my screen turns blue and I can't do anything but uninstall and reinstall. Doing that, I lose all my minutes. Also it only takes about ten minutes of ne building more minutes and it goes all blue again. Been happening for over a week. I dont know what to do. I really love this app.

I was really looking forward to a specific series that you had on the site. I was willing to watch the ads to read the story. When I got to chapter 2 it told me that I needed to take a break. I kept trying to load the commercials they told me it was ready to load but then nothing ever happened. It was even asking me if I wanted to sell/not my info trying both to get it to work but nothing unfortunately. Will there be a bug fix. I will try for a a few more days. Will change rating or uninstall...

I truly love this app, and I've only met with one problem. I just purchased the one hour for $.99, and they did not apply it to my account. This is the first time this has ever happened. please give me my hour! I have no problem watching ads, but the one hour deal cuts down on the time. Tried to buy it again, and it says I already own it, but you did not give it to me. HELP! Sheila Thank you, team, for handling the above issue. I really do enjoy this app. It is the best!

First app, I have seen that when they say free, they really mean it. And I love the books. I am recommending it to all my friends. Update still, my favorite app for audio books, but now they offer a reasonable price weekly, unlimited, advertisement free. I paid for it and still have to watch ads. So what's up with that? This is the only place I can complain. 🙄😠

I love this app so much, you can listen to them free. Just load up on as many ads as you want so you can listen as long as you want and can set a timer for it to stop as well. one thing though, I wish that the longer ads that were about a full minute or more were a little extra time than just the 5min. Now I am not thinking the ridiculousness at doubling it, no not at all I just mean like even 6min. for that extra time. So not a deal breaker for me though, I'm still using this app either way. 😄

An absolutely wonderful experience. The way this platform operates is genius and true to word... Free. But if sometimes impatient, aside from subscription to eliminate ads, it's only 99¢\hr. Great set up, great selections, and high quality writers... what they ask in return is almost an honor to give and shows that they have us readers in mind every step of the way.

This app isn't worth your time. it takes quite some time to stack ads. you have to press the >> (if you can find it), wait another 1-3 seconds (or longer) before the X appears then repeat. sometimes it moves forward, sometimes it doesn't either way it is a time consuming process and when you look up an hour has passed. I am uninstalling after this review.
