I wasn’t going to write a review for this, but I felt I had to after seeing so many people complain about variety. People seem to think this only has the most popular Booktok books, and that’s blatantly untrue. There are so many niche plays that I’ve found on BookBeat that I wouldn’t have been able to find in many other places (e.g Blue by Joe Munro). And yes, there are plenty of Booktok books, but there are also amazing essays like We Should All Be Feminists, and classics like Brave New World. There are plenty of thought provoking works by Ursula K. Le Guin, and much, much more. This isn’t just ‘Booktok books’. That’s such an oversimplification. All you have to do is explore for a little while instead of just waiting for BookBeat to recommend you something. Of course it will recommend Booktok books at first, because it doesn’t know your tastes. Just search for a little bit. It’s not that hard.
Not sure

So far started the free trial, there wasn’t any of my favourite authors, I’m a Sci-fi/fantasy nerd, they have game of thrones in the Sci-if section for some reason. I can’t account for most audio books as there are rave reviews from many and many a person, but for my style of books there is very little choice and the one book I decided I’d have a go at (the Hobbit) set itself back a chapter when I went to carry on my listen after 2 hours worth. I’m not being funny it’s not too hard to find a page, but to find the wording you heard is a whole different story lol.So it has bugs, not set chapters, genres are actually not known as GOT sci-fi?!?! Maybe? Lol, but don’t let my tastes in books put you off, hopefully they’ll make it an easier experience with no bugs for places soon as well. Worth a try at least but I’m not going to keep it up. With Audible there isn’t any of the problems listed and it’s cheaper for me personally. I love paying for the underdog but it would be like buying your weekly shop at the corner shop at the moment.
Amazing App!

I got a month’s free trial for BookBeat and I gotta say, I’m willing to carry on paying for a subscription. There are plenty of titles that are currently on my Wishlist to purchase, so I’ll literally be saving a FORTUNE with BookBeat! We’re talking £100’s as my To Read list is huge. Admittedly not every title is on here, whether that’s popular or newly released. But I’m guessing that's dependable on the publishers 🤷🏻♀️ However, I’ve got plenty of reading and listening to do with this app, so I’ll definitely get my money’s worth! The narrations are clear, and the speed adjustment can increase in increments of 0.05! Syncs perfectly on other devices, and works smoothly on the Apple Watch, too 👌🏼
Great potential

Bookbeat's interface overall is beautiful and very user friendly. I enjoyed using it more than other audiobook platforms and felt that it has potential to be big with some further updates. However, the selection is not very extensive at the moment, mostly having only booktok famous books. There are also books that have to be paid for on top of the subscription but I can't seem to figure out where or how to do this. Considering how much the subscription is for the amount of hours, it just didn't seem worth it especially considering there are some books you still have to buy on top of that. Would be great if the app adopted Audible's credit system instead of charging hourly. I really hope it improves in further updates as I think it's a great alternative to Audible/Apple Books 🤍
