★★★★★Oct 19, 2026

Not working on Windows, nor BlueStack. Not everybody is listening audiobooks only on smartphones.

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026

the only thing I would ask for is to bring a 3x speed option. I have ADHD and 2x feels so slow for me

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026

⭐ 1 Star I have been using Storytel to listen to audiobooks, but for the past 8 days, the app has not been working properly. Whenever I pause a story and try to resume it, the app keeps buffering continuously and I cannot listen to my story. This is extremely frustrating, especially for users who pay for a subscription. I expected a smooth and uninterrupted listening experience, but the app has become very difficult to use. Please fix this issue as soon as possible. I request the Storytel tea

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026

een fijne en gemakkelijke app met veel keuze
