Yet another Everand / Scribd customer who used to love this platform. I would widely recommend it to readers over other digital libraries. Now I can't wait to cancel my subscription and be rid of it. My account is currently paused and I'm in the process of trying to read the last of my unlocked books so that I haven't completely wasted my money (as Everand doesn't allow you to retain any access to books you spent your unlock credits on after cancelling). I am struggling to even do that as I got two chapters in to one of my unlocked ebooks and it has started flashing up a random 'The rest of this title will be available soon' sign (with no date to say when 'soon' is). This is for a title I have bought with a credit and I should have full access to. I got in touch with the support desk last week but they have yet to provide me with any solution. They have only told me that this should not be happening.

I've been using Everand for 3 years now and it's been a revelation. After a recent update, there's only one book left from the same price plan, so the service has lost most of its value. It's a shame — I was planning to keep using it, but now I'm thinking about switching to another app.

I am an Everand fan! Affordable , huge selection of books and 3 unlocks every charge! I love everything about this app. Thank you Everand. ❤️❤️❤️

Used to be amazing. Then they changed their subscription plan. Sounded very positive but they neglected to mention everything you would lose when making the switch, and that you can't go back to your legacy account even DURING THE TRIAL PERIODE of the new subscription. Over 500 books saved in my TBR that are now all locked. I went from reading at least 1 book a week on this app to max. 1 a month for the same price. The unlimited catalogue is laughable. I will be cancelling my subscription after years of being a happy customer. Such a shame.

Before the change of implementing "unlocks", you could read any book within the subscription. Now you get 1 unlock per month (yes, thats only 1 new book per month) AND you have to pay for subscription. DO NOT JOIN THIS CRAPPY COMPANY.

I used to love this subscription service when it was just scribd. It switched to everand the subscription itself changed. I purchased the annual subscription. I was supposed to receive 3 unlocks per month. Well I was not receiving them. I contacted customer service about the issue and it has been months and all they keep telling me is they are working on it, but have not resolved the issue. I finally gave up and cancelled my subscription. You are supposed to be able to continue to access previous unlocks, but I guess once you cancel your subscription everything disappears. So not only did I pay for a bunch of books that I haven't received but I won't be able to access the ones I paid for and previously selected anymore. I had built a decent library in their system.

The major issue is with Everand is the rip off subscription model. I want to pay a fixed amount and access any book in demand. Like Spotify for music or Netflix for TV. Their unlimited catalog is rubbish. Their not on their own here. Audible is also a rip off. I imagine novelists have done better deals than recording artists.

I'm sorry it took me so long to tell you this, but your service sucks. My main gripe was that the app is garbage. It is simply horrible at remembering where I left off. It often just flakes out and loses my spot and takes me back some random amount of time and then I have to scrub through to find out where I was. I also used to use it for podcasts, but I remember that it was even worse for that. And the kicker is, I had an active account for many months during which time I was barely using it, just because I liked the convenience of it. At some point they switched to an "unlock" subscription model, and I didn't realize that my unlocks were expiring. So I was paying for nothing. What person in their right mind would want to pay for nothing? What is the point in taking away something they paid for? Why set a trap for someone? I came to this service to get away from Audible which treats people like children with their credit system, but at least their credits roll over and don't expire immediately. In short, F you.
