Ratings and reviews

As an audiobook user, this is Painful to use! There so many improvements needed! Voice speed only changes by 15%, that is too much, just let us adjust the way we like it. i.e depending on the narrator, for me only a 5-10% adjustment is needed. Add book cover. Please label and divide chapters properly, it's a mess, especially for diversability users! I can't make titles go away, I remove them and they keep coming back. I honestly wish Cela used Libby. Also needs to work with Android Auto.

Would love to hear a sample of the voices before I pay 8.99 for one that I am not happy with. Also is there a way to highlight just one word to be read that would be very helpful for my child. I know that you can double click the word and it will say it but if you you double click that word and it would only highlight that word that would be visually helpful.

Really enjoy listening but the recent change to the screen layout has resulted in a poorer experience. Both sets of arrows seem to jump to the next chapter, rather than the 2 minutes I have set, but worst is the progress bar, which no longer shows position in chapter, only in book. Not knowing how many minutes are left makes it difficult to set the sleep timer. Not good changes..
