Alexander publishes diverse, truly international audio entertainment. Original true stories about culture, sexuality, love, death, nature, science and society, to accompany you wherever you go.
Alexander stories come from many cultures and ethnicities: from Zimbabwe, Nigeria, China, Lebanon, Iran, Trinidad, Singapore, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Canada, France, India, Syria, Australia, South America, the US and the UK. But they all come from somewhere else, too. A conviction that we understand the world best when we use our imagination to engage with it.
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. Stories on the futuristic powers of seaweed, the rights-of-nature movements conferring personhood on rivers, and the beautiful, otherworldly lifeforms flourishing deep beneath the Antarctic ice. Stories from the waterworlds all over our blue planet.

I decided to try the free trial. Of this particular book app and I must admit that I was very skeptical and felt that it was very unlikely that I would like this app when there is a plethora of reading and audiobook apps to choose from. But I was pleasantly surprised! The works that I presented here or carefully curated and I have been very pleasantly surprised at how easily, I became engaged, in fact, even engrossed at times, in the stories. I highly recommend that you give this app a chance! It’s free and if you’re like me, you’re going to find that you think that the monthly fee — equivalent to the price of a single cheap fast food meal — is definitely a better choice and much more healthy to both your psyche and body! Tune out the negative noisy world and tune in to a lovely alternative reality for a few minutes or a few hours. Lovely state-of-the-art reading and audiobook content!
The app I’m never deleting

I’ve deleted most apps from my phone to avoid wasting hours on things that don’t really enrich my life in the end. Alexander though, is a keeper. For me, it’s the only world I can enter from my phone, where I feel richer post experience. I learn something new and also learn about myself. It offers something for all my moods both in user experience - being able to switch from audio to reading to video however I please - and in content. There’s a great library with mixed topics that make you relate or reflect or even upset - which stimulates my brain. Most of all, I love the quality. Amazing writing, talented and experienced actors delivering the audio and the little trailers are like a mini movie experience. It encompasses everything one could ask for in storytelling and it’s done RIGHT. It’s an app I’m actually happy to subscribe to and support in its growth. I look forward to what will be released. Highly recommend.

Thank you for the glowing review. We really appreciate it.
My 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.

Thanks, Leo. This is so great to read.
Okay app still needs time to mature

I like the concept, and it’s not new… talented celebrity actors and actresses reading audiobooks have been around for a while. This app has specialized on it. My initial experience and review- The app works, but they’re still working on building their library. It feels like the app is still being developed, I’m not a fan of the UI- I feel like it’s designed to hide the lack of content. I haven’t been erroneously billed or anything like the other reviews mentioned. I would encourage the company to decrease pricing until there is more content, but I suspect they need the capital to hire more actors/pay royalties. So I would advise customers to look for a deal or check it out for a week/month before committing.
