Fun way to read those classic books

I am really enjoying the Audrey app. My first book was the play reading of A Doll’s House, which I won in a giveaway on The StoryGraph. I enjoyed that one so much I have read three more. I like that the guides give me context and kind of hold my hand to make it easier to get into reading those classic books I’ve always heard about but haven’t read. Especially appreciated the context for Picture of Dorian Gray as that’s one I’ve always been curious about. I’m keeping my eye out on future titles as they keep adding more.

Thank you Louise! So glad to hear you've gone on to listen to more books after winning one :) Hope you're joining us for more Oscar Wilde in the October listen-along!

Needs more features that are standard on other apps

Enjoyed the guide that is available, but there are some features that are not available that I would like to see added in the future. I usually listen to audiobooks on 2x speed or higher and can’t listen faster than 1.5x. I also can’t track where I am in the book in real time. There is only a tracker that shows how many chapters you have left and how long those chapters are. I would also like to be able to see all of the chapters in the book, but you can only see the chapter after you have finished listening to it.

Still needs some work, but headed in the right direction!

Hi, thank you for this review, really glad to hear you enjoyed the guide.

Your feedback on the features is super useful for us as we're building and developing all the time. I'll try to give a quick idea of where we're at on these points:
- Track speed - we're working on adding 1.75x, 2x and 2.5x
- Tracking - we're working on adding percentage listened to on the book shelf and the top of the recaps page, so you will be able to see exactly how far through the book you are, as well as how many chapters (and hours and minutes) you have left. The reason we don't include the recaps of chapters until you've listened to them is to avoid spoilers. But we'd be open to finding a way around this if you have an image in mind of how you'd like it to work 💡

I hope that helps... if there are other features you'd find useful, or if I've misunderstood what you meant with the above, please email me on lucy@readwithaudrey.com with more details - we'd really appreciate it!

Unique and wonderful audiobook experience!

This app takes listening to audiobooks to a whole new level! As you listen to the amazing performances by the voice actors, your listening journey is also enhanced by light background music that helps set the scene along with sound effects.

There is a knowledgeable guide who shares interesting information about the story you are listening to, such as maps and insights on the location, historical facts, recipes, and more. One of my favorite notes was a recipe for Ann’s Layer Cake (minus the Liniment 😜).

Watch this reel to see more about the app’s features, including:
💚 A library of classics
💚 New, modern illustrations
💚 Artwork from previous publications
💚 Chapter Recaps
💚 Character Descriptions
💚 Book, Film, and Podcast Recommendations
💚 Playlist inspired by the book

I truly enjoyed this app and its features. It would be a perfect way to enjoy classic stories with the whole family!
