Welcome to a wide world of wonderful audiobooks, ebooks, and things that aren’t books but are still pretty great.

Многоязычная библиотека
Пользователи из разных стран находят контент на родном языке — хинди, арабский, тамильский, малаялам; для изучающих язык ценно то, что одна книга часто доступна на нескольких языках.
Fantastic app, a plenty of titles to listen and many classic even to read, many tiles have also options to chose the language, set the speed, etc.
I'm trying to improve my english while I listen to audiobooks, it would be great if I could read the book at the same time as I listening to
Malayalam books are presented well.

Сломанный таймер сна
После срабатывания таймера сна приложение откатывает позицию назад без возможности отклонить диалог; некоторые пользователи говорят, что таймер включён всегда, даже при настройке «выкл».
the Sleep Timer annoys me to hell and back. if you continue after the sleep timer ended through tapping resume on your headphones and you then go back into the app it asks if you want to rewind some minutes but there is NO option to not rewind.
The new dialogue when sleep timer expires is broken and annoying. There is no way to just dismiss it without it then changing the current time, it skips back.
The forced sleep timer means you have to be constantly fiddling with your phone. This makes the app pretty much unusable for us who need/want to work while listening. Yes, there is a sleep timer even if you choose "sleep timer: off".
Геоблокировка контента
Книги, объявленные в рекламе, недоступны в стране пользователя; слушать книгу на родном языке нельзя, если живёшь в другой стране — за это снимают звёзды отдельно.
Announcing several upcoming novels, but when it's the time to come out, the novels are not available in my country.
i can not hear books in my native language if i do not live in my country. stupid!
dropping my rating, because they removed (probably for my country) a series that I was listening to
Книги исчезают из библиотеки
Книги пропадают прямо в процессе чтения — истекает лицензия — и поддержка оказывается чат-ботом без реального решения.
Storytel is slowly but surely becoming ai slop- first it was the readers, now it's the story summaires which are just plainly wrong more often than not.
I'd really appreciate if there was a date countdown for books that will be taken off the platform, just like for Audible.
Still the best. Great selection and good usability.
Навигация по главам
Книги с десятками глав представлены как один-два трека без названий — найти нужное место невозможно, прогресс-бар случайно смещается при касании.
It would be awesome if you could jump from chapter to chapter in audiobooks.
how in the world it can be that books that have two dozens of chapters are presented as one or two? why it is so hard to split them as they are and name them so they are not just numbers.
The ammount of times I clicked it by accident and had to spend 15 minutes to find where I was is annoying.
