How is the durability of Everand?
Everand has poor durability, with 45 negative mentions and only 1 positive review. Users frequently report the app fails to retain progress when listening to audiobooks. Common issues include crashes, lost reading or listening positions, and sudden loss of content access after subscription cancellation. These problems persist over time with no recent improvement. One positive review highlights the platform’s long-term evolution and library quality, but it does not reflect the widespread frustration. Overall, sentiment is strongly negative, especially regarding user data and book access over time.
What Customers Praise
Everand has an extensive library and a long-standing reputation, valued by customers who have used it since its early days as a free contributor-driven site. One reviewer calls it their favorite library subscription, noting its evolution while preserving its core appeal. This positive feedback is not representative of the broader user experience.
What customers said:
- „I ve been using it from the time it was a free site,working on contributors uploads“
Common Complaints
The app frequently loses reading and listening progress. Users report the app restarts books from the beginning and forgets completed chapters. Offline access is unreliable or unavailable, making the app impractical for travel or areas with poor connectivity.
What customers said:
- „it also forgets what you have already read.“
- „it will stop suddenly and when I go back into the app to start it up, the book will not…“
„it will stop suddenly and when I go back into the app to start it up, the book will not resume“
How It Has Changed Over Time
Users have experienced declining app reliability and value over time. Early adopters remember a more functional and accessible platform. Recent updates have added stricter access controls and shortened preview times. The current model, which does not allow users to keep purchased books after canceling their subscription, has caused significant frustration.
What customers said:
- „after the buy of scribs they still good for a while“
- „Also, spent more time helping them fix the app than having it work.“
- „The fee is higher per month with a limit of 3 books per month.“
Practical Takeaways
Everand does not provide permanent access to content. Books are available only through active subscriptions. Losing access results in lost progress and the inability to re-read or re-listen. Users who want long-term ownership or offline use should consider Audible, which supports content retention and better progress tracking.
What customers said:
- „you DO NOT get to KEEP the book, or even read it anymore if you stop the subscription“
- „you stop paying you lose everything“
- „The unlocks do not roll over and you can't change your mind if you hit unlock on the…“
„The unlocks do not roll over and you can't change your mind if you hit unlock on the wrong book.“
