Playster

Im an idiot. Thats why I keep paying top dollar for a service that promises to give me access to ALL its available audiobooks and never does. I can only listen to audiobooks that I had previously stored on my wishlist months ago, before the increase in charge and change in account plans. I cant listen to anything new. It keeps saying I need to upgrade my account but Im paying for the premium plan. Also, the app never saves my bookmarks and rarely saves my place. Books Ive finished keep appearing on my continue listening list.

They did not notify me until MONTHS had passed that my payments were being blocked. They said I would have to pay the entire balance. I explained I could not afford to pay the total and asked if I could make payments since it was their fault they did not notify me right away. They refused and requested the total amount. This is an unfair billing practice. Be very cautious when dealing with this company. They do not care about their customers.

This app is a joke....I used it before and as soon as my usage was approximately a book a day...I got the same results. You have violated our algorithm...Haha!! I am a mother of 5 with no knowledge of how to share your audiobooks...I had a new device...new email...new credit card...and you did the same thing...your unlimited access is a joke!!! The worst part is that I was stupid enough to think that if I paid more...your 29.95 vs. 10.95 then it was going to be different...going to spread the word as much as I can!!!! I use a couple other library apps that are FREE!!!! They may not have the selection....but at least they don't advertise something that they are willing to stand behind!!!!!!!!

I have a premium audiobook subscription, and one day without warning, the amount of content I could access through browsing or search was cut by probably 70% or more, and the only stuff I could still see and enjoy was obscure titles and things in foreign languages. It's taken a solid month of me bothering customer support to try to push some resolution so I know whether this issue will ever be fixed, or I should just cancel my subscription.

Plaster rolled out new premium service the week before Christmas. I paid for it over iOS app it worked for 2 days. Now when I try to listen to books app asks me to upgrade agin and wont let Me listen. That was 4 days ago. Now after chatting with playster today I find out that tech support is on VACATION until next week and NO ONE will help until next week. Worst online service I have ever dealt with

As a customer who has paid for their premium audiobook service, I'd like to warn everyone about recent changes. Playster is going to limit selection based on usage. I listened to a book every two or three days, and have been limited to the sort of selection you can get for free at any library, as in books so old that they are freely available in the US. Why would anyone pay for this? Also they don't do partial refunds, no matter how clearly the issue is their fault. Save your money and stick to more honest sites.

I loved Playster when I first joined. Within 6 months, the fee I was paying for audiobooks tripled in price. To make matters worse, I can only choose certain audiobooks in my pricey package. Ive tried really hard to stick with Playster, but I am about to give up. Im glad I kept my Audible subscription as that is what I use most. Ive rarely taken the time to write reviews for anything, and I dont enjoy submitting a negative review. I just feel duped by the steep price increase and limited audiobook selection.

I really love audiobooks and came into Playster super excited. It does have a great selection and the subscription model is great! However, a few months ago there was a price increase for access to most books and it is now getting a bit pricey. I am not sure if I really want to continue for too much longer at this higher price.

First, I am THRILLED that there is a service like playster! I REALLY wanted to love it, and yes, happily give them lots of money so I could listen to audiobooks all the time- the ones I cannot get at the library and don't want to buy. But the software both on my iMac desktop and on my iPhone is so buggy I had to quit my membership. On the phone, my primary device, the app would crash at least once every time I used it, often twice. The search feature does not find the correct items. Really- it needs work. When the app works, I will re-join.

While I'm very satisfied with the content and the pricing, a lot of the time I am unable to listen to the books I have selected. The site says not available. It is not a result of bad Internet because one day it works fine and then nothing. Very frustrating. I may go back to Audible who were much more reliable

I was very hopeful about the Playster experience, and the concept and price certainly give the app the potential for greatness. However, in its current form the app has so man bugs and malfunctions that it's just meh. I only use for audiobooks, and had planned to upgrade to full use (and cancel other paid apps) if I liked it. Not going to happen any time soon. Content doesn't always start playing when connected, I can't use my car's play/pause controls with this app and have to control from the phone, I have to go into the app on the phone to play (but can pause from the lock screen), the last chapter of books regularly won't play. It's extremely frustrating to use overall.

I think Playster is one of those things that you didn't know you needed until you try. It's much simpler than having multiple apps and the selections are very good (especially books and music). The Android app has updated twice since I started using it including in the past week. It's good that they're maintaining it and I hope it'll get better as time goes on.

I love the unlimited books that play store has to offer. I've been able to read a lot of new release books that I've loved, although the new releases seem to be sparser lately. I have been annoyed at the number of times I've had to reboot the website, reset my password, and get locked out frequently. I also wish that you could permanently delete books that you have already read so that you wouldn't get the message that you have many unread books left on the site. Keep improving, and we'll keep subscribing

I like Playster slowly it is becoming my my preferred audio book app but I still have to use Audible. Many of the titles are romance trash. Sometimes the app doesnt work. Not enough search options like for geanra . It would be killer if they had foreign languages and search options for those. I would pay a little more for this.

I've used this app regularly for the past 6 months with no trouble, but it updated and wanted me to pay $60 a month for "premium" audio books. No good titles were left for the lower subscription.

At first i was very excited to have found Playster.com and I was loving it as I listened to all my favorite authors but as time went by I started noticing that my authors were disappearing and my dashboard and discover page was changing each and every day. You may not know this and they do state it on their website but authors will be filtered out as you continue to use the service. I reached out to Chat last month and they confirmed that because I am such an avid listener I no longer have access to authors like James Patterson, David Baldacci, Lee Child all of which have a new book out that I cannot listen to. So now my dashboard gives me suggestions for the history of physics, biology fundamentals and human cloning just to give you an example of what is available to me now that I have been banned from the popular authors due to my usage. I am a remote worker and love to listen to my books in the office, a luxury I have because I don't disturb anyone but this makes me the customer they don't want. I pay $30 a month as I have the premium plan but I don't get to listen to any of my favorite authors anymore and the only reason I have not cancelled yet is because I have a few saved books that I want to finish mind you If I search for these same books they are no longer available to me. I am writing this review just as a warning to avid listeners out their to take into consideration that you will LOSE access to all the authors they advertise on their website when you first sign up. Read the fine print. Also as a suggestion go to your local library and get a library card as most libraries now have Overdrive/Libby where you can read e-books or listen to their audio versions. I have done that and have already added 5 books to my virtual library shelf. This is FREE and on the bestsellers you may have to put a hold on them as they are popular but you will get to listen to them.
