Listen Together: read or listen with friends

Start a room around a book or show. Everyone uses their own app and keeps pace on one track, without spoilers.

1. 1

   Start a room

   Tap Together on any title, or the people icon at the top (on a phone, tap your initials, then Listen Together). Choose Buddy listen for a few friends or Book club for a group.

   

2. 2

   Set the pace

   Pick a finish date and how many check-ins. Audiostacks shows how much a day that is, and everyone sees whether they’re on pace. Or choose no deadline.

   

3. 3

   Invite people

   Copy the link, text it, or show the QR code. Anyone with the link can join with a free account. Friends on Audiostacks can be invited with one tap.

   

4. 4

   Update where you are

   Use whatever your app shows: the time in or left on an audiobook, a percent on an ebook, a page in print, or the episode of a show. Everyone lands on one shared track, with the check-ins and today’s target marked.

   

5. 5

   Talk without spoilers

   Every note, reaction, poll and reply is pinned to the spot in the book where it was written. You only see what’s at or behind you; anything ahead shows as a lock until you get there. Choose Spoiler-free to post something everyone can read.
