User Reviews :
Like the podcast version of a novel!
I first learned about this app from a local author whose work I really enjoy (Curtis Chen). He did a project in collaboration with a couple other authors and it was published here (Ninth Step Station). I listened to the audio series and it was great! I love that it’s episodic like a TV show, but that it’s still a book. It’s like the podcast version of a novel!
Then I tried out a few more series and I have loved them too! The writing is enjoyable, the stories are interesting and well put together, and the narrators are wonderful.
Also, the app works nicely. It’s easy to search for things or just brows, easy to buy a season (after listening to the first episode for free!), and easy to move from one episode to the next. I am such a fan, this app is great!
Excellent content, frustrating UI for audiobooks
Excellent content, I purchased the Orphan Black series. The user interface for the audio player is non-intuitive and lacks cues for episode, and listening places. The list of episodes don’t show progress, you have to start playing each episode to see if it’s one you last was listening to. Once playing there’s nothing on the screen showing which episode I’m on, just the ‘album’ art. The only real way for me to know my place is to delete downloaded episodes once I’m done listening to them. The scrubber is the full width of my screen which makes it impossible to drag it all the way to the left. Update: Okay, it’s supposed to have a big number of the episode but the top 1/2 of the number is cut-off so you have to guess at the episode number. I’m on an iPhone 6S+ so I’ve got plenty of screen to display it.

Hi, we’re so sorry to hear about the hassle here. We recently implemented a few changes, including a jump back in section on our serial pages, and are working on some other big UI improvements for the future. If you encounter any more issues or have any other suggestions, please feel free to e-mail us at info[at]serialbox.com!
Great stories and great support
I downloaded this app for one reason – Marvel’s Thor: Metal Gods. My review if that season is over in Goidreads, but suffice it to say I enjoyed it so much I gifted a season to one of my sons and a friend I co-write with. Then I bought Marvel’s Black Widow: Bad Blood. Only into episode 5 but enjoying it too. Just started playing Marvel’s Jessica Jones: Playing With Fire.
I’ve had a couple technical issues but they’ve solved those for me usually within a couple of hours. Some of the best support ever!! Not only great support but they reward you for spreading the love. I just got 50% off on a season pass for a series of my choice. These folks are the best!!
