Listened to a number of wheel of time books here. Pretty good player - audible slightly better. Subscription price is a little high but it's tough with audiobooks to get much lower.

Do not use this company. I did a free trial over a year ago. I am very diligent with trials and I will set reminders to cancel if I don’t like them. Being so long ago I can’t remember if I cancelled or if the trial conditions indicated no charge, but I have just found out I have been billed every month for the past year. I thought it was something my wife had purchased. There is zero email communication and I havnt used it, so I had no idea. Many other reviews saying the same thing. Avoid and go with audible or another company.

Very hard to cancel and very hard to find to cancel.
Not worth it

This company gives no reminders for free trials ending, and will bill you every month without a word- then when you do remember, you can't even use the credits you paid for. Because they expire after a couple months. So they get your money for nothing, when it would cost them nothing to simply give you the streaming you already paid for. Avoid at all costs and use the available audiobook services that do NOT shadily sell EXPIRING CREDITS.

I did not like the reading of Octavia Butler's book "Parable of the Sower". Wrong voice, wrong cadence. Flat and does not convey the real vibrancy of the work. I was able to listen to eight pages before turning it off. Did you use ai for this reading?

UPDATE: I've added a star because Audiobooks.com appears to have honored my cancellation and refunded my "pending" payment. Here is what my PP acct reads now:
Storytel Audiobooks USA LLC −$14.95
February 3, 2026 . Canceled - Authorization
The temporary authorization was canceled and your payment method wasn't charged.

The following is my original review before the refund was made:
Beware of the "free trial". They advertise for a 30-day trial. After I perused the selections and found a couple good titles, I signed up for the free trial. I wasn't concerned by next step when it asked for my billing info b/c reputable sites offering free trials just want to verify your payment info. Sometimes charging a test fee of $1. And then refunding it. NOT in this case. Audiobooks.com charged my paypal the full monthly fee up front, holding the $ hostage (in effect) until 1st monthly payment is actually due. It is essentially a pending payment, but those funds are not available to me while it's in "pending status". So I immediately cancelled the free trial and asked for a refund. I have not heard back but we'll see. I'll have to talk with paypal and bank if I don't get my money back by tomorrow.

Disgusting. It turns out they had two accounts for me with two different emails. I only spotted it on my credit card recently they have been charging me for something I have not been using. I had cancelled one but they had another one with my other email address. Been paying for over a year of something I have not been using. I haven't been receiving bills or anything so no idea they were digging into my credit card every month for over a year for something I haven't used.

I started with AudioBlocks before they morphed into StoryBlocks, back in 2015. I was growing on YouTube and needed some music. So I joined AudioBlocks. They have a LARGE selection of music, sound effects, stock video and stuff I never even seen. Got a license for the music I downloaded from them and used it on YouTube. Every time I got a copyright complaint against the music (usually Adrev), it was retracted within 48 hrs, just because I presented the license or contacted support. This outfit can absolutely be trusted to back you up. I have over 2 million subs on YouTube and this is the only place I go for music. It's worth the money in my opinion. Gung Ho Vids

Started charging me $23 after trial was over, every month. I had no idea of this so had to cancel my credit card thinking it was scam. It started charging on the new card. Contacted support and got them to unsubscribe me and refund me. Unsubscribing was done but no refunds and all credits were gone. AFTER UNSUBSCRIBING, THEY CHARGED ME AGAIN. I RLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO TO GET THEM OFF MY CREDIT CARD.

Great audiobook service. Signed up for a free trial and got a few books. Ended up staying past the free trial. I do like how they have free bonus books every month that typically would cost a credit.

I'm happy with the range of audiobooks they offer, but don't finish an audiobook each month.

Their "credits" system is predatory (credits disappear after a few months, even if paid for).

So is their subscription: they make it as hard as possible to cancel it.

Predatory and deceptive advertising for free trial. You only get the credit if you keep your subscription past the trial. Lackluster options for books, I couldn't even find 2 "VIP" books I wanted to listen to, and even worse customer service. There are plenty of audiobook companies, give a different one your money.

Wanted to read Hamnet. I signed up and then: this e-book is not available in your country. (I live in the EU.) Disappointing!

I had no problems with the app or selections, but was surprised to find out that the credits expire after three months, which is not communicated when you sign up or under their FAQs, etc. It is buried in their Terms of Use. I will be cancelling after finishing my VIP read for the month. I was looking for an Audible alternative, but don't like these business practices.

We cancelled our trial membership but our credit card was charged for years. They acknowledged that we NEVER rented a book after the trial, but they would not refund our money. COMPLETE SCAM !!!

The narration was of such poor quality that I was unable to continue reading. I therefore deleted the book and had a very negative experience. I am uncertain whether the book itself is of any merit.

(1) I was charged $18 in error because they didn’t give me the deal I signed up for. (2) I contacted Customer Service and offered to send screen shots proving my case. They refused but offered to cancel my account (with NO refund of course). (3) I told them to immediately cancel my subscription. They did NOT! So, I was charged another $18 AFTER telling them to cancel! (4) I emailed them TWICE after that asking that they cancel my account and refund $36 to my credit card. I have received NO response! Nada. Zip.

I’m done standing by while subscription-based companies—particularly audiobook ones—mislead and take advantage of customers. I am disputing their charges with my credit card company and filing complaints with the Federal Trade Commission, the Indiana Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division, and the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

No easy and intuitive way to cancel subscription.
Audiobook is using my time by hiding any simple access to a clear “cancel subscription” link.

What a scam and a time waster

I signed up and used audiobooks two times before deleting the app since i didnt use it. I have then tried to cancel my subscription for months, through app store, their own website or even in my bank. For some reason they still manage to deduct a fee every single month. I get ZERO replies from customer service, via phone, email or chat. My next step is to cancel my payment card which seems rather extreme for this.... Very disappointed by the unprofessional/unserious behaviour from seemingly a legit company.
