Scribd truly blows Kindle Unlimited (and even Audible to some extent) out of the water, especially if you read a lot of serious non-fiction. They also have an amazing selection of British mystery audio books btw. I have to admit I have not run into the 'limit' problems some others have reported. I have no idea why, but this may well be because I don't tend to check out bestsellers or really popular titles.However, if you are interested in Art, History, Culture, Language etc., I can pretty much assure you that you have discovered Valhalla with Scribd. To me, it's like a massive digital treasure house set up for easy browsing. I often find obscure monographs here I can access nowhere else online for any price. Also rather than waiting weeks to checkout a title via our local library via Overdrive, I usually have instant access through Scribd. That said, I do still have occasional problems with the search function finding a particular title even though it turns up being included after all. Our excellent local library system makes a valiant effort to have many e-books available, but only has a tiny fraction of what I can access via Scribd. Anyway, 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'s - a great value and I am a very satisfied subscriber.

I had subscribe to the service for about five months or so then decided to cancel recently just to find out the date it cut me off a day early. I just needed to save some money recently so I decided to cancel for a short period of time but I’m not sure I’m coming back after my experience. During the time I subscribed, I kept having issues that the audiobooks I wanted to listen to were unavailable until the next renewal date. I would still have 10 days left on my subscription and find out that I couldn’t listen to the next audiobook I wanted to listen to in the series because it wasn’t available until my next subscription renewal date. This happened three times and it was very annoying. While this service may be cheaper than Audible, the aggravation may not be worth it. The app is also glitchy. I had times when I would answer the phone and the audiobook would still play in the background while I was trying to hear phone calls. I would set up to play the audiobook sometimes, and it would just cut off by itself while I was driving. Which is annoying because I live in a hands-free state and can’t go back and reboot the app. The glitches seemed to happen more often after I decided to cancel for a little while. The audio player with clothes for no reason in recent weeks and I kept having to stop what I was doing to reopen it just to get it to play again. Probably won’t renew now after the recent experience. You should shop around.

Very frustrated. Back when they just had the SCRIBD app, performance was snappy and all was well. This EVERAND app has always been clunky. I don't know why one would bother downloading any audiobook on the app because if you're ever off-line without any Internet connection or cellular, you won't be able to pull up your saved audiobook or e-book. The app just spins and spins. You won't be able to read or listen to your book until your phone has reliable reception again, despite the fact that the book is fully downloaded to your phone. Lastly, it's highly frustrating that now, with this new subscription model restricting legacy subscribers, excluding so many books one can listen to or read, they do not give you a simple way to filter. So if you're searching for a book, as a legacy subscriber, you have to select the item first. Then, and only then do you learn that it's not available unless you are willing to pay more money. Always the pitch to pay more money. If they want to support legacy subscribers, they should allow for a feature in the settings that allows the user to exclude those items that cost more money so that they don't clog up search results. I believe I may be done with this app when my subscription runs out this time. I'm not interested in paying a decent amount of money for an annual subscription, only to be pitched time and again about a book that I cannot read or listen to, being told that I need to pay them more money.

I love the selection and large number of available books. But the app is awful. And it gets worse with every update. The search feature is painfully slow and cumbersome. Audiobooks buffer for several minutes before starting to play. Downloading books and audiobooks is useless because the screen just says "you have no downloaded content" and then freezes. The app must be restarted, often more than once until it finally allows navigation to the account menu, where it's possible to select "manage downloaded content." There is a fifty-fifty chance that all downloaded books actually appear. Selecting an audiobook from this screen and trying to play it is also a gamble. My device usually has to go back online to begin playback, then I can take it offline. If I pause playback for more than a few seconds, the app freezes and I have to do the restarting/online/offline nonsense all over again. It defeats the purpose of downloading books! And one I finally get an audibook to play, the sound goes in and out, also requiring me to restart the app until there is consistent volume. (And it's not my device nor my headphones because volume in all other apps will work perfectly.) It's frustrating for the price to keep increasing but the quality to keep decreasing. It doesn't matter how great a selection of books there is if accessing those books is so difficult.
