xigxag 2.0!
If you havenโ€™t already noticed, you may see some exciting changes to the app when you next update. We hope these will make it easier than ever for you to enjoy xigxag, and weโ€™d love to highlight some key features for you.

Introducing version 2.0 โ€“ our new user experience!

Just In: the xigxag User Guide. On x-bookยฎ, naturally. ?

Weโ€™ve created a xigxag user guide x-bookยฎ just for you! โ€˜Listen Upโ€™ contains everything you need to know about the app and how to use it, and itโ€™s now pre-loaded on every xigxag account.

Itโ€™s also the perfect way to trial the x-bookยฎย for free, so if you havenโ€™t yet experienced our listen-and-read integrated format, nowโ€™s your chance.

Itโ€™s easier to find your way ?

The first thing you may notice is we have added a navigation bar, which offers a simpler way for you to find your way around. The navigation bar also divides your app into five easy to find sections: Home, My xigxag, Player, My Books and Settings.

Discover your next great listen ?

Previously familiar as the main screen on the app, Home is now the xigxag catalogue, and where you will find your Top Picks, Just In, and ยฃ3.99 Picks, plus a selection of genres.

Your search bar can also be found here, and you still have the ability to search by Author, Title, Genre and Keyword โ€“ and filter all searches by x-bookยฎ!

Looking for โ€˜domestic thrillerโ€™ or โ€˜historical romanceโ€™? Our search has you covered.

Itโ€™s all about you ?

You can now set up your personalised profile, and view your reading stats, bookshelf, quotebook, reviews and lookups all in one place. Make it your own by adding a bio, photo, and updating your username.

Although we have plans for community features in the pipeline, for now your profile is only visible to you. Your privacy is important to us, so we will let you know before we introduce any changes so that you always have full control over what you choose to share.
