Ratings and reviews

I'm split. 3 stars because this app is top tier for someone who reads a LOT (me). Deducting 2 stars because they don't ever seem to update it when there are issues (like for a couple weeks not the playback speed doesn't change, no matter what I do to change it, so all my audio books are reading slower than that DMV sloth from zootopia.) If the bugs were fixed this would be 5 star for sure. Definitely one of my most used apps.
