User Reviews
Positives: The content is great and there is a wide selection of their materials available. Finding items and the search have improved dramatically! Negatives: The app is very slow. It doesn't keep your place well. Bookmarks are not always retained. I keep getting old bookmarks, but the new bookmarks I just set are gone. There is no help in the app. Overall, there is a lot of work to be done here. There is a lot of potential, especially with the upgrades to the search feature.
It's slowly improving and is nearly functional. It looks like the content no longer jitters uncontrollably as you scroll, so that's good. You still can't successfully mark an audiobook as finished so everything you've listened to still sits in your "In Progress" queue but that's not a deal breaker. Search finally appears to have basic functionality and I'm hopeful that audiobooks will no longer skip random chunks of chapters.
I love the content and plan o keeping the app because of this reason alone. but the app does not save your place, this is VERY frustrating. Searching for books is slowly getting better. I hope they keep up the improvements. Also, it does not track your progress on audiobooks anymore, it used to but now it won't update so I never know how much I have left.
Edited to update. The audiobook player now seems to save progress. the other improvement suggestions would be wonderful to see soon! Great content. terrible audio book player. does not save progress, can not choose to save downloads on SD card storage, constantly having to figure out where I was in a book because the player doesn't keep track of progress if the app isn't open on the screen. Would love it if the audio book player were fixed. also, Android auto functionality would be a huge help!
