Subscription services seem to be becoming the new norm for entertainment.  Netflix has changed the television world with their streaming service model and Spotify has made a huge impact applying the same concepts to music.  Now, there is a cool product that wants to shift this model to yet another area.  Bardowl provides users unlimited access to streaming audiobooks using a month-to-month subscription model.  The company focuses entirely on a mobile-based subscription for the time being, providing the app on iPhones, iPads, and iPods to start.  A mobile-first approach is likely the right one given the immense growth of the mobile market over the last several years, especially in the area of entertainment.  People already frequently download audiobooks from Amazon and Apple for use on their mobile devices, so believing they would use primarily use a mobile subscription service to listen to them is not much of a stretch.  Users who experience any trouble listening to books through the Bardowl app should seek out a mobile tech support company for assistance with the issue.

While it wasn’t too long ago that a streaming-based subscription service for audiobooks was not viable due to low Internet speeds on mobile devices, recent advancements such as 4G technology makes Bardowl’s service more than reasonable for many people.  The fact that countless businesses such as stores, restaurants coffee shops now offer people Wi-Fi while out of the house also helps make Bardowl plenty viable for audiobook addicts.  Of course, those who constantly have trouble getting a data signal may have broken phones and could need smartphone PC repair to fix the problem.

The ease of finding an Internet connection on the go makes streaming audiobooks a far more convenient option than downloading them.  Rather having to plan ahead and wait as they load books onto their devices, users can simply tap on what they want to listen to and start enjoying it right away.  That level of convenience has made both Spotify and Netflix major successes in their forms of entertainment.  It isn’t hard to imagine that the same will likely hold true for Bardowl.
