Great Selection, Hindering Playback Speed. The limit for playback speed is 2x, which is just too slow, especially for anyone who needs to finish ALCs in time to promote them when they come out.

Frustrating. I am loving my current audiobook but the app is super frustrating. It logs me out at random - at least it’s set up for facial recognition which help but it’s annoying and inconvenient. I see in the last notes that bug was fixed but as of 6/12/22 it still does it to me. It also doesn’t save my playback speed - typically 1.25. I am constantly resetting the speed even when it doesn’t log me out. I use Libro.fm and Libby apps for audiobooks as well and they both seem to work flawlessly. I’m sure I’ll keep listening because I enjoy the selections but hope some app upgrades are coming soon.

Keeps kicking me off. I have to keep signing in. Very annoying.

App shuts down if any external sound starts. The platform is okay but if an add or Map directions or anything goes off on your phone, it will stop the audiobook and not restart. You have to go back into the app to play again. It can’t even be restarted from the audio drop down on your phone because the app fully stops

Audiobooks for the win. App is very easy to navigate, and the audio quality is now improved. Love it!

Decent redesign. Improving upon Volumes should not be too difficult and this app does just that. As someone else said, it does log you out frequently. The interface is much better and easier to read though. Must must must get CarPlay support.

Playback issue. Love their audiobooks, well produced with some of the best narrators yet the app has one issue that really annoys me. When I stop listening for a while (even just 20 minutes) then restart the app the book goes back about 5 minutes. This usually doesn’t happen if I bookmark but otherwise I either have to relisten to about 5 minutes or try and FF to where I stopped. Otherwise the app is fine.

Much improved and great support!. I previous had a 1 star review because of lots of technical issues with this app. The developers listened and the current version is much improved. The sound retains quality when sped up and the app doesn’t automatically log me out every time (though it still does log out regularly). Hopefully future updates include better interplay with Apple Car Play and the ability to further customize the playback speed.

Better UI, lesser sound quality. Better search function and general design, but, unlike it’s predecessor Volumes, this one has an echo of you listen at more than 1x speed. Terrible at 2x.

Audio speed. Can you update the app to keep my speed preference when I pause the audio book. Every time I start after pausing I have to bump back up from 1.0 to my faster speed. Thank you for considering!

Doesn’t have playback faster than 2x. Currently can’t listen faster than 2x speed which is a huge bummer to audiobook listeners who listen quickly. I was told there were quality issues but that they don’t know if/when they will ever have faster speeds. Until then, this app doesn’t do it for me. Update: actually using the app doesn’t work either. Constantly loses my spot, quits randomly, or starts over. Pointless.

Worse than Volumes. This app logs you out just about every time you pause it, and if you listen faster than 1x the audio quality is terrible. I never had these issues with Volumes. Hard to see why this new app was necessary. It makes it extremely difficult to review books.

Fine app missing key features. This app is perfectly fine, and I really appreciate the audio quality, but it’s missing some key features. It would be nice to customize your audio speed beyond 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, and 2x. It also changes the audio speed every time the app closes, so when I go to plug it into my car for CarPlay I have to open up the speed settings because it immediately reverts to 1x speed, even though the app itself says it’s playing at 1.75x. Also, there is no progress percentage. It does seem like developers take comments and suggestions from their reviewers seriously, so hopefully these things will be figured out soon. Anyway, it’s a useable app and I’m grateful that it exists, but it can use some tweaks 😊
