Ratings and reviews

I was thrilled to find this app. Previously I was streaming from the Audio Dharma website, but my excitement quickly faded. I am unable to listen to a complete talk. If I am lucky I can listen to maybe 15 minutes tops before it stops. I have tried disconnecting my wifi, but the result is the same. When I do go back to the interrupted talk, the app doesn't start where it left off, and I have to make a guesstimate as to where I was when the speaker stopped. Very useful.

I find using the website for my Samsung phone is easier. I think the app needs some work for Androids. My sister has an Apple and it had many features that work well like saving to albums, favorites, down loading the talks and other things. The headings are there on my Samsung but don't work, so no way to build an album or folder. It's frozen up and I have had to reinstall numerous times. I'm going to use the website for now.

I love Audio Dharma as a resource, absolutely invaluable. However, unfortunately this app has issues with playback. Each dharma talk cuts off about a minute or so before the end, and then it starts again from the beginning if you press play, so you have to try and figure out where it stopped. Please fix this issue. I see others have said the same thing, and would have thought it would be top priority as this is an audio player, after all. Thank you
