Ratings and reviews

Used to love this app. Its great for audiobooks with a large selection which my son loves but when it constantly skips back 1min+? This is a new thing for me, a few months ago this was never an issue. It can get very laggy when installing books and how it's set up is kinda irksome. When just scrolling through your books it'll randomly start downloading ones and you can't just stop it, it'll stay downloaded at 3% and if you delete it the only way is to remove it from your books entirely

Samsung S21+ Playback frequently backs up. I did a shut down/ restart. Issue persists. Read more comments and the notes from Support to other users. On Android, doesn't have a Shake setting. I am listening to N D Wilson's The Drowned Vault. It skips at the top of page or whatever phrase at top. Seems to work fine when app is displayed. If screen off, skipping becomes frequent. It will bounce to the top of the page and start over.

Has some technical issues that don't kill the app but certainly make it more difficult to use. Frequently the app will jump back a couple of pages instead of moving forward. Frequently during page changes the audio speed slows back to the default. I tried setting my own default speed in my profile but it doesn't stick. Often the audio stops and I have to unlock my phone for it to begin again. When it switches readers the speed again slows down to the default. Needs some work, but still awesome!
