Ratings and reviews

Great app. It's a great way to learn lean and having the audio format was great for consuming and reconsuming information during a recent road trip. It's unable to restart easily from where you left off, like others have mentioned. I'm confident that the app developer will be addressing it to remove that "struggle" from the process.

Love the app and to have access to Paul's books. The two small problems I have with the app is most of the time it does not start the book in the same location where I paused and closed the app earlier in the day. It sometimes starts at the beginning of the chapter. Second issue is the app is apposed to the word "President." While listening to Banish Sloppiness, each reference to "President Trump," or "president" of a company the app shuts down. Probably a coincidence, but thought it was odd.

Paul is a Lean maniac and over the past two years has turned me into one too. This app showcases Paul's own "continuous improvement", helping us (the customer) reach his wealth of knowledge even more easily than before. The app contains all of his audiobooks, and I am sure that it will give us access to his future titles even quicker than before; no more weeks of waiting for Audible to publish it - now that's Lean! He's also included books by Henry Ford and Taiichi Ohno, ALL FOR FREE. Thanks Paul, your app is greatly appreciated.
