Ratings and reviews

While I'm appreciative of the service, as we have long book lists to get through with our homeschooling, I have to grind my teeth just to get through listening to a book. The people reading are usually terrible. Names are butchered, page numbers are read in the middle of a sentence, and one we're listening to now the lady is constantly leaving out words- like her mouth isn't next to the mic or something. One book we read had a new person reading almost every chapter. It's very frustrating.

Learning Ally used to be great but it's really gone down the tubes recently. For starters, what was wrong with the old app? If anything, the old app was better then this one. In the original Learning Ally app, you could access your books quickly and easily without having to look at any loading screens. Also, some of the older readers should never have been replaced as they did a much better job than the ones they were replaced with.

I has lots of options and is very accessible on all of my devices, but I wished listening outside of the app was much easier. It only lasts for around 5 minutes before it starts repeating sentences and I have to reopen it. The only place I can use the app comfortably is my Chromebook which I can't take everywhere and use for working. Kinda disappointing.
