AudioAZ - Audiobooks & Stories

I’ve had this app for a couple of years with no problems whatsoever. Huge collection of public domain books from Conan the Barbarian to William Shakespeare’s Othello. A Few short ads. You can download books for offline listening. There are some “dramatic” readings with different voices depicting different characters, like a radio play. I don’t belong to Facebook so that’s not a requirement. I have had nothing but good experiences with this app.

Right out of the gate this app will ask what language you wish to listen or read in. Select English, y’know, to get German or Arabic. NO rhyme or reasoning! Then, go a step further; if you do NOT want all of your reads publicized to everyone you know and don’t know just select “Join Private Community”. Okay, great so far…. Then it will ask you whether you want to publicize everything you do to your facebook profile. There are two options: 1. ‘Yes’ 2. ‘Cancel’ Okay, since there is t an outright ‘NO’ option, select ‘Cancel’. Terrific…. Now whether you like it or not you’ll be taken directly to your facebook profile where everything WILL BE made public. So, that didn’t seem right…. I’ll try again, because I MUST be imagining that. Click “Join Private Community”. Then, because we once again DO see those same options, ‘Yes’ and ‘Cancel’, we’re again going to get out of this by clicking ‘Cancel’. But do you want to bet? They will forcibly take you to your facebook age where you WILL make everything public unless you just altogether close the stupid, BUGGY App. This is way too much of a high risk App. Forget even whether or not you just don’t want the world k owing all of your reads. The personal information vulnerabilities are also too immense with this thing. STEER CLEAR! There are other, way better options.

I’d loved this app until today when everything disappeared and I can not use it anymore
