Ratings and reviews

I detest this app. It is the worst of the worst when it comes to audio. If only the library offered another choice. You cannot use a Bluetooth device (speaker, ear buds, car, etc.) to operate. It stops all of the time and when it stops it doesn't remember where you are, but backs up. And when it stops you can't restart it except from the app. Anytime you press play it does a weird notification first instead of just starting. I took a big break hoping it would get better, but no such luck.

A lot of bugs that need to be worked out. It randomly stops and when I start it again it starts from a lot earlier than when the audiobook cut out. I can't start/stop audiobook from my earbuds like I can with other apps. I wish it would keep a list of all the books I have checked out, not just the currently checked out books and the books on hold.

Boundless is so frustrating to use. It randomly stops and can't be used when my phone screen is off, there is no setting to see how much is left in the book, and the app doesn't save my spot. I also hate how I can't set the speed to 1.75, which is my preferred speed. Even if my library has books available without a wait on Boundless, I would rather buy them or find an alternative.
