Ratings and reviews

Although I listened to some of the greatest audiobooks in this app, I would not recommend it to my family and friends. No matter if I listen online or use the downloaded books, the audio stops every couple of minutes. Moreover, it does not restart from the same point, so I have to spend time and effort to look for the lost fragment myself... I restarted my device, re-installed the app but with no success.

Otherwise good service but there are spme problems with the player which I consider subbar in modern standards i.e. Progress bar is always the whole book's length, not individual chapters; accidental jumps are way too common; It doesn't scale during speed changes; chapter listing doesn't tell you anything (want to get back to something? too bad, take a guess); this is probably on me, but I don't get what hh:mm numbers are trying to tell me in different contexts like player or chapter listing.

I really wanted to like this but working within time limits just doesn't work. My husband and I share the account (as we did with Audible) as we read/listen to most of the same books. First that decreases the hours by half, and second the app doesn't let 2 people listen at the same time. I think I'll be cancelling and trying other audio book apps. (trying to find an alternative to Amazon)
