Ratings and reviews

Love the choices! I'm listening to my first book now. I don't like that you have to select the time on the timer each and every time, and end of chapter isn't an option on audiobooks. Back and forward slider takes me too far either way. I can't return to a bookmark, touching bookmark creates a new bookmark. Also, from full speed to 80% isn't adequate, 80 % is too slow. I often prefer 90 to 95% speed of reading.

The audiobook player is garbage. Seek doesn't work across chapter boundaries. Using the chapter menu to change the current chapter, often restarts the entire book and then crashes the player, requiring a "force stop" and restart to begin playing again. (And then you have to figure out where you were). Also, the seek forward and seek backwards controls are different times, i.e. seek back is 10 seconds but seek forward is 30 seconds. Whoever designed this app was probably using drugs at the time.

Not worth the time to download this app, not matter how many times ive uninstalled and reinstall it. Unless your interested in looking at the books they offer on the home page, fat chance if your going to find the one book you want through the search engine in the app. It never loads anything, no matter the word or words used in the search. It just keeps loading or comes back with no results. Whats the point of having a library app if it doesnt pull up any books in the search.
