HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (1.5 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ I bought two books and both books won't download. In fact previous books I've bought won't download from cloud. This is Oct 11, 2020
★★★★★ I emailed them about it not working over a week ago and even posted on their Facebook page.
★★★★★ Willing to re-review after bugs and update complete
Login and account problems21%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Despite Black Library having an account system, the app does not allow for logins.
★★★★★ It needs to be updated if it wants to continue, and honestly merge it with the 'one warhammer' account that is being pushed for all the various GW products.
★★★★★ The app will not link with your other black library account and the content youve purchased will be mutually exclusive to their respective sources.
Price and subscription18%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I recently bought a number of audio books but now for some reason I can't access or listen to any of them i can't contact the devs or anything to fix this issue or get my money back
★★★★★ However Apple will refund you your money very quickly for up to (I think) 3 months whether you've listened to it or not.
★★★★★ Also books seem to be over priced $35 for a 6hr book is not competing with the pricing audible by amazon or other chains.
No customer support10%

★★★★★ Downloaded a book and will not play,No customer support.

★★★★★ If you happen to lose your place you are in a bind.

Missing features8%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This app suffers from lack of updates by its devs but thats no surprise considering its a spawn of GW
★★★★★ Please at least list the order and which books I would have and are missing from that list.
★★★★★ Unfortunately there seems to be no way to sign into your BL account and download your audiobooks and there is no way i'm paying a second time for audio books i already own.

Keeps loosing my place

Randomly when opening the app to continue listening to my audiobook it will just restart from the very beginning which causes me to have to locate where it was left off from. It’s very annoying

★★★★★Aug 26, 2025
Unable to access purchases

I recently bought a number of audio books but now for some reason I can’t access or listen to any of them i can’t contact the devs or anything to fix this issue or get my money back

★★★★★Aug 3, 2025
Time of Death

Lore is pretty much shot and the universe has been captured by agenda driven culture warriors who are focused on making the universe more in line with what they think is acceptable. I’m sure when they hit rock bottom it will change so just hang in there.

★★★★★Feb 27, 2025
Useless if you purchase outside the app

While I’d love to discuss the functionality of the app, I cannot. All my Black Library audio purchases were done on my computer via the website. Despite Black Library having an account system, the app does not allow for logins. All purchases are instead tied to the app store, meaning that any purchase done via the black library website is not available on the app. Oh well!

★★★★★Apr 24, 2023
Works for me

Love 40K and love the work that goes into making these audiobooks.

★★★★★Apr 4, 2023
Too simple?

I’ve been using this app for years now enjoying my favorite books. It was yesterday I tried to link my account to another app (Warhammer Tv) and realized I don’t know what email I used in my black library app. thinking I’d be able to look in setting to find it I was shocked to find there is no settings icon or option. Only a restore purchase option and 3 quick app options. I feel this is a huge flaw and needs to be updated until this is fixed I won’t be using any other Warhammer apps because I don’t need to have them spread across all my different email’s trying to manage payment issues either. Please fix this
