Ratings and reviews

The search function is good and the audiobooks are organized well. Playback is almost non-functional once you pause, which is annoying if you leave your phone screen off and away from you. At several times, a downloaded book could not be open. The only fix was reinstalling the app (which means you lose your download). The app as is would be ideal if you have the phone in hand, unlocked, and you don't care about using data. Otherwise it leaves some things to be desired.

How do I set this app to NOT open itself when I connect to Bluetooth even though I've paused the book and shut down the app? It's extremely annoying, and frankly turning me off to audiobooks entirely. Massive flaw that needs a setting I can turn this "feature" OFF!!!! You'd get more than two stars if I could actually control when this stupid thing opens itself when connecting to Bluetooth. I doubt I'll bother with audiobooks when I've finished the one I'm on if I can't turn this annoyance off.

Good could be better. I can only complain so much about free audiobooks. however, it would be wonderful if I could listen to a 5-minute preview to decide if I really want to listen to that book before committing to using one of my borrows. Also, I haven't found it, particularly user friendly to find book recommendations.
