Ratings and reviews

I love both reading and listening to books, and Audible has made it possible for me to hear some great stories while I'm at work. Unfortunately the latest updates have made the app unwieldy. One of the things I do daily is check the recently released books section to see if anything catches my eye, but that's not possible now. Whether you go by category or over all, it only gives an unchanging list of what seems to be the most popular options in the respective genres. (i.e. harry potter)

Overall, I love the app. It works well, there's a great selection of books available and the fees are reasonable. The most recent update (January 2023) is a real downgrade. Not sure which dev team decided that removing the "rewind & fast forward" buttons from the quick controls, especially on Android Auto, but maybe they don't drive or actually use the app in real-world situations. Very inconvenient, more importantly unsafe. Terrible change.

Constant. Crashes. I've had the app for years with minimal issues, but over the last few weeks the quality has PLUMMETED. The app shuts itself down every 5-15 minutes, and I have to reopen it again, wait for it all to load, before being able to continue my book. It's extremely frustrating having to keep coming back to my phone to restart my book, to the point I give up entirely and stop listening altogether
