Great but very limited
Roald Dahl: 10 Phizz-whizzing Audiobooks, 29 CD Collection Audio CD – 2014. Get your Kindle here, or download a FREE Kindle Reading App. Download Audiobooks by Roald Dahl to your device. Audible provides the highest quality audio and narration. Your first book is Free with trial!
The books are fantastic, and the prices are fair, but you don’t really own them despite paying for them. The files are completely locked to this iOS app. You can’t even transfer and use them on your mac or put them on an MP3 player to listen to them on the move. If my iPad dies (which it did recently but managed to repair it) then I lose the books and the money I paid for them because I can’t even transfer the files to my Mac to back them up. I’d have to buy a new iOS device to reinstall the app. Basically I’m sick of buying things that you don’t really ever own.
I have “purchased” (though it’s more like renting!) one book, but since I can’t play it anywhere but this app on one device, I won’t be buying any more.
“Developer Response 20 Nov Hi there, and thanks for your feedback. Just to clarify, you can install the app and download your purchased items on multiple devices”
Well that’s not true is it. This app is only available in iTunes and only on iOS devices, so I can’t even use the app on my MacBook despite it being an apple product. What you mean is, it will work on an iPad or an iPhone. But nothing else. And again, you’re idea of “download” and everyone else’s are completely different. As I said before, the files are locked into the app and are not movable to say, my MP3 player or even my MacBook. So I have hardly downloaded the files (that I have paid for!) have i?!

Developer Response,
Hi there, and thanks for your feedback. Just to clarify, you can install the app and download your purchased items on multiple devices.
Where is it?
Downloaded and paid for Fantastic Mr Fox from the AppStore and got confirmation. When I tried to play it, it asked me to pay for it then when I try to do that again it tells me I have already paid for it but won’t allow me to play it and sends me around in circles again and it’s very annoying! The purchase is logged with my bank.
As there’s no “Contact” facility with Roald Dahl Audiobooks, the only course of action seemed to be to write a review, which isn’t what reviews are for. That will come later after I have resolved this issue.
Now!

Purchase don't restore
Despite developer reassurance that ‘lingering bugs’ would be fixed by an update, my purchases still don’t restore using the app’s function and having signed in with my appleID. June 2018

I've just reinstalled the app, restored my purchases but am asked to pay for them again (via a pop-up) when I try and play them?! Disappointing, particularly as the UI has visually responded by removing the pricing buttons on the titles for which I've already paid (and as the app's great when all's working.)
