Everand Reviews

Content not worth the cost and questionable business practices

I was in my second year of a subscription and absolutely loved Everand - the content and the price were very good However the new model and pricing is ridiculous- there is virtually no desirable content outside the locked titles which means you pay 12 a month for one book I can find the same books on sale for significantly less The worst part and the primary reason I have cancelled my subscription is the extremely deceptive and misleading manner in which they enticed people me included to switch to the new plan and lose access to all the content previously available I m not interested in dealing with any company that has questionable business practices and ethics The information provided indicated that existing subscribers would not lose access to their saved content but that was not true I sent an email asking to reinstate my account to the legacy plan or refund my remaining subscription I received an automated response telling me to request a refund but of course the policy states that a refund will not be given Very disappointed in the way this company handled the change and now appear to try to placate dissatisfied customers with a change is hard story line

Bad service deceiving practices

I signed for a trial and the app assured me that I d be notified three days before he trial period ends I used the service for about one hour It wasn t for me Never received any notification and was charged for a month Contacted the company no reply Terrible customer service and company

Misleading Upgrade and Deceptive Practices

Everand is extremely deceptive and has completely misled its current users They promised that upgrading our plans would give us access to even more books but once I upgraded they locked almost all the titles I previously had unlimited access to Now I m stuck paying 16 99 a month for only three books whereas before I only paid 11 99 for access to nearly the entire library Everand has essentially conned me and other users by promising more access when they re actually taking it away and charging us extra for less To make it worse once you upgrade they won t let you go back to your original plan once you realize you ve been scammed Absolutely unacceptable and dishonest

After my time of using Everand

After my time of using Everand I am now canceling my account and subscription When it was announced they were switching to a limited use program I with everyone else was devastated This was my most used audiobook app but I decided to give it a shot My advise just don t Don t sign up The ability to look for the unlimited items is next to impossible and nothing I would suggest unless you do the classics that most free PDF versions are free use online and AI narrators which sooooo not cool for me I wasn t going to switch the legacy plan but I was repeatedly told my library would still be available to me after switching and there was plenty of unlimited content to still have access to As soon as I switched all my library was locked and there was not even the novella self pubs available in ebook to read The service did not benefit anyone and they keep just ignoring everyone s complaints This is after months of having problems with usage on the app and then not doing a single thing to address or fix the problem I am heartbroken If you are looking for an audible alternative I still wouldn t suggest this app now I recommend Libro where they at the very least support small businesses and indie bookstores

Too Expensive Too Limited Too Buggy

I switched from Amazon Unlimited to Everand about one year ago It s been great until now With the new model I can t find a single example of books I ve read in the past still available without using an unlock So for 12 per month I can read one book per month BTW I have one unlock to use but the app won t let me use it a bug I can purchase most books outright for less than this So goodbye Everand and hello Amazon until I can find something better

WAS great now Audible is better value

Was great and amazing for the past couple years as you could just keep reading and listening without worrying about limits or credits They just changed the whole subscription so it works just like Audible and you can only listen to one book a month under the basic plan or 3 books a month under the premium plan I just like binge listening while driving but now I m not even allowed to listen to more than one or two weeks worth of content before it shuts off until the next months renewal

Loved Scribd hate the new Everand

I subscribed to Scribd for 6 years and loved it The recent changes with Everand make me wonder what I m paying for as 90 of my saved books aren t available I m an avid reader so getting 1-3 unlocks of premium books isn t enough I ll probably cancel my subscription

Scam

I wish I had read the comments here beforehand I made a subscription and the money has been withdrawn but my membership has not been activated I ve been contacting the support for four days now They weren t helpful at all and stopped even answering now I wish I never tried to make a subscription

Never subscribing again

Never subscribing again Your new unlocking model is terrible Turn it back to how it was or I will never subscribe again I can see other comments that people hate it too This was a terrible business move Deleted my Everand app for the first time ever and will not get it again unless it s back to the way it was I ll stick to the Libby app Evrand is no longer worth the money Love that you are sending a nonsense auto reply to everyone who is telling you your new system sucks I can t imagine you re going to keep subscribers under the this model You for sure never me get back until you put it back the way it was Lame auto reply Also insisting you re a great value is ridiculous That s for the customer to decide You know what s a great value Libby I ll stick to that until you go back to what you were and if you don t I ll never be back
