Ratings and reviews

Update: it's still a great app. One issue I've noticed is the incomplete syncing when I listen on my phone in the car and then later, just on my phone. Possible it's the Android Autoplay. I don't know. Still love the app though. Simply fantastic. And so far, I haven't had to put on hold any audiobook I wish to listen to. Even those that are unavailable at my regular libraries.

This app is intuitive enough and my library has a decent selection. However, the built-in audiobook player loses my place every time I pause for more than a minute or two. I am constantly having to find where I left off. It also does not rewind a bit when you pause and then play. I tried moving the audio files to a folder my regular audiobook player could read them from, but that does not work. So I can't use the built-in player, and I can't use a real audiobook player app. Useless to me.

Good content options, but the app itself leaves something to be desired. Playback doesn't pause when other audio plays (makes it really irritating to use while navigating with Maps, for example). It doesn't consistently remember where I left off, meaning I have to search around and find it myself. Audio level over Bluetooth is much too low. The app restarts any time you do something else on the phone, like open another app, which is irritating. Honestly, I wish it was more like Libby
