ACX Reviews 112

The financial section of this site is thieving. It either shows all the Bonuses as missing or somehow closes the winnings without paying them.

As an author I think it's atrocious how people can listen to darn near a whole series of your book and then get a refund back after listening. We work too hard on our stuff to keep enduring this. It's bad enough we barely get paid anything to begin with. Authors wages are ridiculous these days with kindle unlimited and with ACX. Then I had one issue with getting paid on time that really took the cake. They need to really change some of their rules and policies-especially concerning returns!

I am a good writer and my company do well and clean job for their customers

Website barely works meaning uploading or completing tax forms is impossible, the contact centre are incredibly rude. Their marketing platform is also useless, everything about ACX is just terrible. Personal advice is to stay clear from them.

I took a public bus from my house to school, it was stressful and tiring with a lot of noise from the bus and arguments. I got to school late and i had to wait outside for the ongoing lesson to be over because i wasn’t allowed inside. Lesson here is don’t always take public buses while trying to meet up with an important appointment you may miss it and it consumes time and energy. If you must take a public bus you have to be more early to as to hop on early bus to get to your destination.

ACX wrote me a check that bounced once I had deposited it at my bank. My bank charged me a bounced check fee on top of it. When I sent ACX a demand letter via Certified Mail at their 1 Washington Park, 16th Floor, Newark, NJ address, the USPS said the business at that location was closed (for good), and there was no forwarding address.

Their feedback is rudimentary and consists mostly of links that they don't really care to clarify. After several submissions they declare that they just don't want to speak to you anymore. I guess they don't need the work.

God this has been hellish working (with? they were rarely there to help) these people. The closest experience I've had to ACX in terms of customer service and functionality was when I flew out of a government-run airport in the developing world. It's taken years for me to get this audio project completed. Good luck getting cover art accepted. And your narrator paid. Things that should be done with one click take months of pain and stress. And customer service barely reads their emails and replies with things that make it clear they don't know what they're doing. At the end of the day, leadership is responsible for this monstrosity. But where else to go? Findaway Voices is an alternative but I can't say whether they would have been any better. Honestly just doing it on your own and putting it on your own website with no producer cut is what I would recommend and I probably will go that route if I ever do this again but ACX has made me not even want to bother as a longtime author.

This company can improve by stopping ripping off it's authors and narrators, and answering questions asked and not sending out the same non-explanatory links time after time after time.

Bananas belong to the genus Musa and are native to Southeast Asia. They are grown in tropical regions and are cultivated in over 150 countries. The banana plant is a large herbaceous plant that produces a cluster of fruits known as a bunch.

Bananas are a nutritious fruit and are a good source of essential vitamins and minerals. They are particularly rich in potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and dietary fiber. Potassium is crucial for maintaining proper heart function and healthy blood pressure levels.

Bananas are versatile and can be consumed in various ways. They can be eaten raw, sliced and added to cereals or salads, blended into smoothies, or used as an ingredient in baking. They are also a popular snack for athletes and provide a quick source of energy due to their natural sugars.

In addition to their nutritional value, bananas have several health benefits. They are easy to digest and can help relieve gastrointestinal issues such as constipation. The dietary fiber in bananas promotes healthy digestion and can aid in weight management.

Bananas are also believed to have mood-enhancing properties. They contain tryptophan, an amino acid that the body converts into serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and promote feelings of happiness and well-being.

Overall, bananas are a delicious and nutritious fruit that offers numerous health benefits. Whether enjoyed as a convenient snack or incorporated into various recipes, bananas are a versatile and delightful addition to any diet.

ACX IS HORRIBLE!!! THE END OF 2022 I MADE A ROYALTY SHARE AGREEMENT WITH A NARRATOR (LATER FOUND OUT THIS WAS HIS FIRST TIME NARRATING) THE PRODUCER REACHED OUT TO ME INTERESTED IN NARRATING MY NOVEL. HE SOUNDED GOOD FOR THE AUDITION AND THE FIRST 12 CHAPTERS OF MY NOVEL. THEN AFTER CHAPTER 12 HE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES FOR THE REMAINING 20 CHAPTERS INCLUDING ERRORS IN DIALOGUE AND HIS VOICE CHANGED INTO BRITISH ACCENTS. (APPARENTLY HE IS SOME YOUNG WANNABE ACTOR BASED IN CHICAGO)

HE LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY AND THAT HE IS ALSO NARRATING ANOTHER AUDIO AT THE SAME TIME HE IS DOING MINE. (RED FLAG)

HE FINISHED THE FIRST AUDIO BOOK AND IT WAS FILLED WITH MISTAKES THAT I ADDRESSED TO HIM. HE SAID THAT THE DUE DATE IS APPROACHING AND HE DOESN'T KNOW IF HE CAN FIX IT IN TIME. I TOLD HIM THAT I CANNOT APPROVE THE AUDIOBOOK IF IT'S NOT COMPLETED ERROR FREE.

I TOLD HIM IF HE CAN'T FIX IT THAN WE HAVE TO TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT BECAUSE THE AUDIOBOOK ISN'T UP TO PAR AND IT SOUNDS TERRIBLE. HE Agreed TO TERMINATE IT. Then 4 HOURS LATER TOLD ME I OWE HIM $1,100 DOLLARS FOR THE ERROR RIDDLED AUDIOBOOK AND I NEED TO WIRE HIM THE MONEY ASAP IF I WANT TO TERMINATE IT.

I TOLD THIS YOUNG MAN THAT WE AGREED TO ROYALTY SHARE AND THAT I OWE HIM NOTHING. He OWES ME A REVISION WHICH IS IN MY RIGHT. HE NEVER RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST AND HAS LEFT THE BOOK ON "WAITING FOR FINISHED AUDIOBOOK" SINCE MARCH 29, 2023

AFTER OUR BACK AND FORTH MESSAGES THE PRODUCER DECIDES TO LEAVE A DISGUSTING REVIEW ON MY BOOK ON AMAZON (I SNAPSHOT THE REVIEW AND MADE A COMPLAINT TO AMAZON AND ACX) HOW IMMATURE IS THAT TO DO WHILE WE STILL HAVE A CONTRACT.

I REACHED OUT TO ACX ABOUT 6 TIMES AND NOT ONLY WERE THEY RUDE BUT ARE NOW CLAIMING THAT THE PRODUCER DID REVISIONS WHICH IS A BOLD FACE LIE. I HAVE PROOF HE DIDNT DO REVISIONS. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE REVISIONS AND NOW ACX TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO GET LEGAL COUNCIL LIKE GET A LAWYER IN OTHER WORDS TO RESOLVE THIS WITH THE PRODUCER.

NOW MY AUDIOBOOK HAS BEEN TAKEN HOSTAGE. I HAVE NO REVISIONS AND I CAN'T HAVE AN AUDIOBOOK MADE FOR MY FIRST BOOK IN MY SERIES UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED WHICH IT WILL NEVER BE RESOLVED. ACX IS RUDE, INCOMPETENT AND THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT AUTHORS.

I narrated a book called I am legion of which ACX were paying me royalties for. Then all of a sudden one day they’d stopped paying and with it being a small amount of money, I’d forgotten about them and a few years later decided to be firm. Put my foot down. I want those royalties which might be a few hundred dollars now. ACX know I no longer have the email address which they associate with the account. Only say unless I contact them
Ising that email they wong speak to me.

I have told them I dont want them to sell the book I narrated now. This I believe they are ignoring too.

I agree with all the other reviews! One of the worst companies I've ever worked with! They said, "They had an issue with my book on my account". So deleted it, which they didn't expect me to do. Then they said, "We have nothing else to say, and that end of the matter". That is literally the type of people you are dealing with rude, unhelpful and insulting.

It's a very difficult site to navigate. There is SORT OF a connection with the Amazon site, but I've spent a week trying to upload my audio, and I'm ready to give up. The tenuous nature of the link with Amazon makes it impossible to communicate effectively. My book is ready to upload, but they have now made it impossible. I give up.

I was locked out of my account, for no reason. The main directive was for me to contact Amazon. I did, although Amazon couldn't help me because they said they were not connected to ACX's system. I contact ACX directly and the customer service rep claimed she couldn't help me with my problem because I didn't give her the correct billing address to my account. First, I don't see how I could've given her the wrong one, but even if I did (I said, let's say I misspelled it) she says there's no other way to get in. Thank God I didn't have money sitting in my account that I would've been losing. This all seemed so random and echos many other people's reviews that their system & customer services are TRASH and needlessly difficult.

Booked a 6 seater taxi 6 weeks in advance for a very important event. No sign of the taxi when we arrived at the station. After waiting 10mins and bring cut off 3 times I called to be told they had no drivers as they were all on their break.
Appalling service. To not fulfill a booking and not even inform the customer they couldn’t do it is disgraceful. Would never use again and would encourage others not to. Completely opposite to the professional services their website describes. Truly awful.

Holy socks, what happened to them? They've gone to trash when they once were top Audiobook platform. Constantly down or booting you after a few moments while searching open title auditions, that either open to a blank web page, or an error syntax page meaning EXPIRED TITLE. Which is a total waste of time. Whatever. So glad there are other, more affable audiobook sites to work with.

What a nightmare. Gave an address in SE10 and he took us to the O2. Told him it was the wrong address and attempted to go thru Blackwall Tunnel. I directed him closer and still took the wrong way. As an insult he charged un £9 extra. Told the office of the problem to avoid it for our return journey and he goes to the same wrong area. First time we have used them for years and won't be going back. Abysmal.

I really like how convenient and easy to use.
