Ratings and reviews

The quality of the writing is extraordinary and the readers are amazing. I still get the feeling that the app is really meant for an iPhone and not an Android because it's a bit wonky to use. it is hard to forward or reverse or keep your spot in the article. as far as I can tell, you have to make dozens and dozens and dozens of pushes of the 10 second forward or backward button. it also can be slow to open on cell data. still the quality of the writing and the actors/readers are extraordinary

Production quality is great, but the interface is terrible. Impossible to find stories to listen to - not even search works well, and the sorting doesn't use intuitive categories (I don't care about illustrations or narrators, I care about subjects!!!). It's difficult to skip past stories and impossible to sort items in the queue. Just unusable; I'll stick to podcasts or even just "listen to this article" on web pages. Paid for two years and wasn't worth it.

Reading For Me. As my vision has faded, I have continued to want, to NEED, to read. I can choose to "read" publications that are not audiobooks. Audm improves my quality of life greatly. I can listen to articles while I do what household tasks I can still do and while I rest. My choices for which to listen are numerous. The narrators are always good, and the articles are timely. I have had to make many adaptations as I become more disabled. Giving up things I love is not a good choice.
