Conveniently inconvenient. I have to start off by saying I love Black Library and the media they produce. And I have to say it's great to have so much that they have created in the audio format quickly available at your fingertips. Here is the problem, the audiobooks are formatted just like the books to have multiple tracks to correspond with chapters, but they don't work. Tracks are listed to have a run time of 0 seconds and you're stuck listing to a "prologue" track that goes on for for 8 solid hours. If you happen to lose your place you are in a bind. Since the tracks don't work you have to start back at the beginning and press the fast forward button, which only moves 30 seconds at a time btw, until you catch back up to where you were. When this app first came out I didn't have this problem, so far I've had 6 books with this problem. I hope it gets fixed soon.

Just ask Apple for a refund. MOST IMPORTANT: if your books stop working (won’t download) BL’s policy is no refunds. However Apple will refund you your money very quickly for up to (I think) 3 months whether you’ve listened to it or not. You paid money to OWN the book; NOT RENT it. Yes, you may have listened to them but if you can’t listen to them anytime you want then get your refunds because this is a common problem! Things you should know: 1. No streaming. If you can’t download then you can’t have it. 2. No website cross over. If you bought it here, enjoy it here. Only. If you can download it. If you bought it on the website, enjoy it there. Only. 3. Zero customer support. I emailed them about it not working over a week ago and even posted on their Facebook page. Haven’t heard from them at all.

When it works it’s great!. Simply put this app is great when it works, it’s constantly plagued by bugs/issues. Think you’ll shoot them a quick email hoping for a response... think again they have the worst customer service which is surprising since Games Workshop’s normal customer service team is phenomenal.

Doesn't work. What can I say. I downloaded the app, bought a book. The book plays for less than a minute and then I get silence. Hopefully the working version comes out soon.

App stopped working’. 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

Convenient. A friend of mine got me into the lore of 40K, and this place fuels the flames of intrigue. I love that y’all keep these stories in one convenient app, helps to keep track of everything. All it needs now is a notification option for when the deals pop up.

Lost my whole library. Lost my whole library.. I was downloading a new book to add to my collection. The book would not load so I deleted the app as was advised by the app to try and fix it now none of the books I own will download. This app suffers from lack of updates by its devs but thats no surprise considering its a spawn of GW

Expensive and buggy. I bought Age of Darkness for $40 to listen to on a long drive. It wouldn't download so I didn't have it on my drive. I had to delete the app, restore purchases and then it downloaded on the 2nd attempt. The 1st one stalled and gave up without explanation. The Chapters don't work - they just restart the book - very annoying - had to skip through 30 sec at a time to find my place. When I got into my car and started it over bluetooth the book restarted again! Not a good experience for such an expensive audiobook.

Currently Broken. I have over 30 audiobooks and as of Sunday I’m unable to download any. I click the album but the download doesn’t work. I’d wait till they work out that bugs before downloading.

Come on really?. Your black library website and audio app accounts are separate and you can't access your purchases between them? Seriously? This should have been step one on designing the audio app. I'll be back when the app is actually useful.

Finally fixed!. Now that I can finally skip chapters and pick my time in the audi track. I can recommend this app. Linking the pic and app purchase would bump my rating to five stars.

Need to be able to link accounts. could be great but why cant you link your black library account

About Time!! 👏🏾👏🏾🎉. Now I can be official!

Very Bad Do not Buy!. Downloaded a book and will not play,No customer support. No one ever gets back to you. Buy through kindle if you want a 40K audio book.

randomly works. I bought horus rising, I am slaughter, and mission purge. mission purge works fine, I am slaughter chapter select doesn’t work and i must restart if I exit the app, and Horus rising will not play at all

Great books, poor app. I love the Black Library. They produce an unbelievable amount of amazing story and lore. But the app needs to be updated. I redownloaded so I could listen to the amazing and rich lore at work. But it does not seem compatible with the current iOS. I can’t download any of the books I own nor the ones I just bought. 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. That could help things too. Willing to re-review after bugs and update complete

Horus Hersey - please list the order!!!!. Seriously, all the books are randomly listed for that series. Please at least list the order and which books I would have and are missing from that list.

Apps bugged rn. This app is great the majority of the time, but as of writing, I can’t download any audiobooks. Don’t download until a fix is made.

Cant sign in. This app is a great idea. 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.

Gets the job done. Works as expected would be nice to CarPlay support

Adore the product, the vessal not so much. I adore the black library and Warhammer in general but this app is not the best way to experience it this moment. First and foremost Is no sleep timer! I like to listen to audio books as bed time stories (yes even with the brutal nature of Warhammer, makes it more fun) but without a sleep timer that Is impossible for me. Secondly I was also having some slight problems with it not keeping place or chapters being wonky. Please add a sleep timer and smash some bugs and I'll gladly rereview In the meantime unless the book is 99¢ I'll be using audible.

Please allow us to link to existing BL digital purchases and will give 5 stars!. Please allow us to link to existing BL digital purchases and will give 5 stars!

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

Unstable. I wanted to like this app, but unfortunately it’s got stability issues. After about 40 minutes or so the audio will begin to skip and eventually the app will crash. It’s especially unstable if you attempt to run another app while you’re listening. Unfortunate because otherwise it’s a fairly convenient way to listen to Black Library books.

Not compatible with their online store. Can’t import your online purchases from their own web store

Not currently working.. I really like this app and own tons of books on it, but cannot download any of them. Review would be a 4 if it worked. Some quality of life changes and a sleep timer would make it a 5.

Cannot link accounts. Don't know why we are unable to link iOS purchases with ones we already have.

Awesome BL option. Outside of not being able to download the files to my iTunes account, this app does what it says. I have had none of the glitches the others have posted. I even had to change devices and no problems there either. Best part for me, it's that the files are cheaper than mp3 or CD.

Need to link accounts. Got the app, but don't plan on buying any audiobooks until I can link my accounts together. I've been buying the 40k audio dramas for years, and have no desire to pay for them a second time.

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

Problems. Worked great for the first two books I bought, it even keeps your place in you close out the app. The second two I bought aren't downloading properly, they download as a 0:00 book/chapters. If they fix this I will be giving 4 stars and 5 if you can link to the other books purchased from the web site.

Great for catching up. I had fallen behind on the Horus heresy, and I was pleased to find this app. I have a 2-3 hour commute everyday, and I have breezed through many books. However, I feel it would be nice if they would incorporate the ebook portion of this. Apple charges way to much for the ebooks when compared to the black library version. Help your followers out!

I can't play any of my old audio dramas, very disappointed. Very disappointed it looks like a great app but since you can't play any of the old audio dramas. It just doesn't cut it please please please let us be able to play all the old audio dramas that We own and I own quite a bit then I will give five stars.

Need to link accounts. This app needs to be linked to our black library accounts. I will not purchase a single book from this app until they are. The reasoning for this is that I dont like the idea of being forced to use an app that only runs on specific devices to have access to my media. For example, what if one day I prefer the Samsung Galaxy to my Iphone, or Microsoft Surface Pro to my IPAD. I will not be device locked.

Avoid - can't link iOS/PC purchases!. Purchases made via the web store and those made via the iOS app cannot be linked. This is a huge oversight, especially since you can't get the iOS purchases off of your device to play on a PC, etc. 🙄

Can't buy some of the novels.... The purchase option buttons on some of the novels will not fully load (the little circle just keeps on spinning, but no luck.) Would love to give BL money for an audiobook with these cheaper app prices, but I cannot do so due to this bug. Hopefully you'll repair it promptly. Also, it would eventually be nice to access the hundreds of dollars worth of books I've purchased from your website before this app came out instead of having to download them as zip files and importing them into iTunes. Your app description is not clear about this being a no-go option. Integrated platforms are important to consumers these days, a few things could be learned from Audible on that subject.

Great books, Bad App. I really enjoy the books they put out but I notice if you stop listening and return later that the app doesn’t pick back off where you left off. It defaults back to the very beginning, it’s very frustrating scrubbing through the chapters trying to find where you left off. This makes it a one star review otherwise I would have rated it higher. Also books seem to be over priced $35 for a 6hr book is not competing with the pricing audible by amazon or other chains.

Can't link with BL account. If you've purchased Black Library titles in the past, you can't play them here, not can you play titles purchased in-app on a pc

Poor imitation of better apps. There is no connectivity between this app and your black library account where you have been making purchases for years. So anything you buy here doesn’t transfer back either. You’re safer buying from the website and transferring to iTunes. A shame that more effort didn’t go into this.

This app does not work. You can buy their product. The books are great. It doesn’t keep it place, is constantly losing it’s place, skipping around. It forgets where you were at when you shut it down. I have had success with some books, I have currently bought over 15 different books over the last year. Working through the problems. It is just so frustrating. I found that some of their books are now on Audible. Go there don’t waste your time and money on this app.

Disappointing. Well this is disappointing to me. I have bought a lot of audiobooks/dramas on the black library website, and it doesn't make sense that i cannot connect to that account and be able to download those that I have already bought. I was really looking forward to being able to buy these book on apple, so I am excited for that. I wish there was just a little more synergy between accounts. But oh well I guess we can't have it all.

Changes and improvements made. I have to say this app has come a long way, it’s hard to find a warhammer audio you won’t like. Most are fair and price but it also depends on the author and how many people are involved in the making of it. The last full review made is obviously not relevant any more, seeing as how the issue was resolved and I have yet to run into any issues with the app in my year or so of having it. I’d also like to say that even if you have a very very poor connection the download time on the Audios (even the 20+ hour ones) download in minutes or seconds depending on how many you download at one time.

It's pretty awesome. I really like it, for what it is I enjoy what it has to offer no other app I have found gives you access to such great stories. some flaws like skipping to other chapters or if you buy bulk you can't skip to other books but I really enjoy it non the less! Great app

Their app is your only option. Great audiobooks, but you are stuck with their feature-lite player. No ability to export or download any prior purchases to another player. Just be cognizant of this before you make any purchases.

Not worth it. This app has too many bugs to risk spending $30 per book that you can’t listen to outside of the app. Don’t waste your money.

Buggy and out of date. Many of the books have chapter selection problems. When youre talking about something 10+ hours long you need to be able to find your place. The app will not link with your other black library account and the content youve purchased will be mutually exclusive to their respective sources. Because... thats just the way it is bozo too bad. I have spent hundreds of dollars on this app and to be regularly blind sided with wacky errors or ‘o second’ chapter issues is ridiculous. Its just and audio player. If these were on itunes or if the app was attended to there would be Zero issues.

NEEDS ACCOUNT CONNECTION!!!. I won’t use this until it has account connections to your Black Library account on the web. Otherwise it’s just easier to use Apple’s iOS or iTunes.

Meh. Can't even load the price of a book

Frustrated. Just downloaded as I assumed that it would be convenient to access previously downloaded novels from my black library account. Unfortunately it seems I cannot link to my account and am just outright frustrated. Remedy this immediately.

App review. Look I really love this app I haven’t had any issues with it other then I need to save my money to buy the books cause they are sooooo darn expensive. I think they could lower the price since audio bible have the same books for 1/4 of the price. If things don’t change or they don’t have like a “Boxing Day sale” or a “sale of some description I will just change apps. Thankyou for reading my review. :)

Do not get!!! Scam and Rip Off. I’m a massive fan of the Warhammer series, HH and 40k. I collected almost half the hard copy books and because life gets in the way sometimes I have unfortunately no time to lay down and have a read. I am constantly on the road however travelling for work and I found it great that audio books are now available for almost all the series!!! I installed this app and purchased over 8 audiobooks costing $48 each and out of the blue the app refused to download my purchased books from the cloud, therefore unabling me to have access to the audiobooks I gave bought. It was working great and as I purchased two new books, it started to stop downloading onto the device. I have followed all the “frequently asked questions” solutions on black library website with no avail. I am very disappointed and heartbroken as I feel like I have been robbed and there is no possible way to get what I purchased outside of the app. They have given me no solution or any help so SAVE YOURSELVES and do NOT install this app to get the audiobooks. It is a SCAM and I hope they can give me my money back!!!

Poor customer service. Great! Can finally easily access my digital audiobook purchases from black library on my iPhone... wait no you can’t there is no way to link your black library account with this app. So your options are either buy again, download to a computer and then transfer as audio files via iTunes or ... just buy the books from audible at $15 each

Skinny. Would be good if book didn’t start from the beginning every time I opened the app.

Faulty purchase. I brought “The Outcast Dead” on the app but it wont download unto my phone no matter what i try. I have tried restoring purchases and spamming the download but so far i have had no luck.

Overpriced. The app works well,bought some books and largely enjoyed them. Then I discovered Audible, same books For $15 instead of $50.......

Death to the false emperor. Goddamn addicting I’ve gotten over 2 grand worth of books and there amazing there’s a few that are meh but I’d recommend the first 3 books first then flight of the Einstein or auriliean then the first heretic finish it off with betrayer and it’s amazing and over 60 hours of audio right there update 2 years later still amazed at how awesome 40k is but you need to update your app I have to search up the new ones on reddit to to even know there’s a new book out there and it makes me mad as I want to buy the entire heresy goddamnit and I can’t

Needs a Log into account feature.. I really don’t want to buy all my auto books again, just let me log into my already existing Black Library account. I just want to be able listen to the grim darkness of the far future on the go!

Needs a way to delete downloaded content. Pretty good app, but it needs a way to remove content that you’ve listened to in order to free up space on the device. Also the lists of various series needs more curation, especially the Horus Heresy.

Help. I can’t keep trying to select my book but it’s not working. Anybody got any advice or maybe I’m doing it wrong? If not then I wasted 41$ and this app sucks.

App has gettin better. There were a couple of issues with the app originally including losing places in books and restarting. Almost all of these issues have been resolved. Great way to listen to your favorite BL material.

Audiobooks Often Restart when connecting to Bluetooth Devices. I find that very frequently whenI connect to a Bluetooth speaker to listen or to the Bluetooth in either of my vehicles, the audiobook I’m currently listening to reverts to the start of the book, loosing my current place. This gets very annoying. If I open the app and go to now playing before connecting to Bluetooth it seems to prevent this issue. Would love to see a fix! Other than that, I like the app and the ease of downloading and taking books with me.

Garbage. I don’t mind paying for quality audio books but the app has lost my place and started from the beginning 3 times. I give up.

No way to log in ??. I own a ton of bl audio books but there is no way to log in to my account through this app to access books I already own... kinda pointless. Would have been nice though cuz it is always a struggle to convert the files and get them on iTunes and then on my phone. ...

Kinda bad....kinda really bad. Try harder GW. I downloaded Helsreach and it was amazing but I missed the last chapters because I was busy but when I tried to select the chapters it makes me restart the whole book....talk about broken interface. That and I tried transferring purchases but that's apparently an impossibility.

Cant even dl. Drop 41 bucks on a 15 year old book and I cant even download it. Wankers
