An audiobook app can gain users by offering a free trial, which allows customers to sample the product before making a purchase decision. The app should also provide mechanisms for sharing audiobooks with friends. Asking for reviews and ratings is another effective strategy for increasing downloads, as is partnering with influencers on social media to create awareness around an audiobook app.

An audiobook app faces legal risks related to the contractual terms between publishers and authors. If a publisher is one of your clients, you will want to ensure that your app does not violate any contractual obligations between them and their authors. You will also want to ensure that you adequately protect the copyright in the books that are offered within the framework of your app. Finally, you will want to avoid potential trademark issues associated with using third party content within your app.
