iAd economics may not pay off for app sales
Calendar16 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:00:00 UTC +00:00
Apple is quick to advertise their new iAd platform for iOS devices as a way for App Store developers to get more exposure for their apps. In theory, it's a great way to set your app apart in a market saturated with more than 250,000 apps. In practice, the numbers tell a different story. David Smith, the founder and owner Cross Forward Consulting reported that the results of a recent ad campaign that they ran for their most popular app, Audiobooks Premium, were underwhelming and economically unsustainable. Cross Forward Consulting spent a total of $1251.75 ($0.25 cost per click) on iAds over the course of six days that displayed 2,052,929 ads, generated 5,007 clicks (a clickthrough rate of 0.24%) and a grand total of 84 in-ad sales. The cost per acquisition comes out to a staggering nearly $15; in other words, for a $0.99 app they paid around $14 for every Read More

Great to see this back with downloading!
Steamfire 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Awesome app for listening to Countless librivox audiobooks.
Great idea, poor implementation
Burblespork 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
Usage -I find it frustrating to have to download chapter 1 before listening. I've been using the free app to preview the books, find the ones I like, then going to this app to download. -It would be helpful to have a 'downloading' page so that once an audiobook finishes downloading, the next one can begin. It'd be immensely helpful if this could occur *while* you're browsing books or even listening to an already downloaded audiobook. I'm downloading several books for a ridiculously long overseas flight so I've had to babysit my iPhone on each book's page to keep it downloading. Ui -In the Titles view, each entry takes up a lot more room than the free version and scrolling is jerky (vs smooth in free version) -for ease of use, don't put the book description in a separate tiny strip or window. Have it flow with the rest of the info so reading about a book won't be so constricted. The download button can be in a separate strip on the top or bottom if easy access to that was the point of putting book info in a separate movable strip and fixing the rest. Nice at some point but not necessary for a nice usable program: -deleting chapters. There are a few readings of Jabberwocky that I really like and it'd be awesome to just keep those reader chapters without the rest. -an option to add a cover image for the visually inclined!
Bad interface. Worst user experience.
ScaryKarry 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
This app is not good. I have to download the entire book and it take up to 1 or 2 gigabytes per book. Booo. Also, the interface is ugly. Not what an iPhone app should be. Don't get this app.
Good Audio Application
WalksForHealth87 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
This is a great application. When I found the original I was using it daily on my walk and when I found out that I could no longer do it with the old version I bought the new one without hesitation. 99 cents in very little to pay for all the free books you can download. The great books I read in high school are all there and I am now listening to them again (for free). Now instead of listening to music I "read a book" during my walk. Negatives - a few weak narrators and it takes a long time to down load the books.
It is back
acestor 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Back to the original. I used this when it was a free application. Then the download for later listening was removed; now it is back and yes, it is not free, but so what. The developers deserve to be paid for their efforts. It works well.
This app is not winning any contests
ChepoSkato 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Doesnt seem like a lot of time was put into this app. It keeps crashing.
Not very useful...
John D. 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
I want audiobooks on my phone so I can listen while DOING SOMETHING ELSE. But this app will only play while you have it open. No good. My advice?Go to librivox.com on your pc, download the MPG files, integrate into iTunes and upload to your phone. Sure, it's a little extra effort but at least you can use your iPhone for something else while listening.
Great app
Jlchambe77 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This is a great app. Great value considering a one time $0.99 let's me download an audioversion of just about any clasic book I can think of...

MoonShot13 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Absolutely Amazing! I love that I can start listening as it downloads, and I can pause in the middle of a download if I need to leave a WiFi area. I also have the non-download one (streaming), so I can test which version of something I like better before I download it. It's so easy to use. Love it.
Great product!

This is a great app! I do wish it had a subject search engine though. Maybe someday..
