Ratings and reviews

Great app but very glitchy I love how this app works but there is definitely a few issues that need to be worked out. One such issue I'd like to bring up that is very annoying to deal with is how the audio slider keeps getting stuck at a certain position and if I jump forward or backward it jumps me from the position that it is stuck at. Also maybe make it a Setting for the audio to start playing after you jump forward or backwards or you finish saving a note.

Used to love this app. Its great for audiobooks with a large selection which my son loves but when it constantly skips back 1min+? This is a new thing for me, a few months ago this was never an issue. It can get very laggy when installing books and how it's set up is kinda irksome. When just scrolling through your books it'll randomly start downloading ones and you can't just stop it, it'll stay downloaded at 3% and if you delete it the only way is to remove it from your books entirely

Samsung S21+ Playback frequently backs up. I did a shut down/ restart. Issue persists. Read more comments and the notes from Support to other users. On Android, doesn't have a Shake setting. I am listening to N D Wilson's The Drowned Vault. It skips at the top of page or whatever phrase at top. Seems to work fine when app is displayed. If screen off, skipping becomes frequent. It will bounce to the top of the page and start over.
