Ratings and reviews

The subscription is fine, great books to choose, but the audiobook player is awful. I discovered that I had credits in my account, and used one to get an audiobook. I was excited to start my book, but quickly realized that the player used in the the app has a LOT of issues. It doesn't keep your place between sessions. It will skip back multiple chapters, or start at the beginning. Skipping back or forward 15 seconds in the BOTM app doesn't work most of the time. Please fix the audiobook player!

I use the listening feature to hear audiobooks. This app never remembers your place so make sure you look at and remember where you are in the book. There is no bookmark feature for audiobooks and no way to note your progress. Plus the app asks you to renew. every. single. time you open it. Which would be tolerable if it was a good app.

Audiobook experience is extremely frustrating. it does not save your spot and frequently restarts about 30min before you paused. I have taken to screen shots in order to remember where I'm at in the book. I enjoy the service and the app as far as functionality for selecting your books each month is fine. However, would never select another audiobook without a major overhaul.
