Keep up the good work !

I’ve never written a review before, but I felt like I had to for this app. I was intrigued with the concept when it first launched and I was willing to pay, what I thought at the time was, a fairly hefty price for the subscription. The content was great but the app was so bad that it could hardly open half the time. But much has changed since then, and I even had the opportunity to chat with one of the developers and describe one of the bugs that had been plaguing the app in order to help it improve. Now I gladly pay what I consider a nominal fee for such great content. This is the first app I open in the mornings to listen to while I get ready and my go-to app for when I’m commuting. I can’t imagine how my life would be without it. I hope the devs keep on improving and innovating. It would be great to be able to preferentially choose which publications make it to my home screen . It would also be nice to have the ability to favorite some stories in order to find them easier. Personally, I have stumbled upon some amazing long form reporting that I would not have ever found had it not been for your app, but I don’t ever want to forget about them. Your app makes it so easy for these invaluable stories get lost after they have been played. Lastly, please consider integration with pocket so that users can save the stories or their web links for easier sharing. I know not everyone has this app or is willing to pay but if I could easily charge the link where the story is online, it would make it easier for discussion . Overall, amazing growth and improvement in the stability of the app and I hope to see continued support in the future ! Best wishes
Excellent app, content is getting there

If you are an auditory learner, this app is for you. I’ve been able to finish my weekly NYer articles (some are really long and take longer to get through) more consistently since subscribing to this app, and also listened to articles from other outlets I might not have clicked on. The narration is spot on, I’ve grown so used to Julia Whelan’s voice! Suggestions: Adding a sleep timer would greatly increase this app’s usability. I occasionally download episodes for long plane rides without WiFi, and if I fall asleep, I find that the played episodes disappear from my download list. Perhaps a sleep timer would help and I’d still be able to pick up where I left off. I also can’t wait for more outlets (maybe magazines like n+1, Baffler, Foreign Affairs etc) to share their content with Audm for more variety! Otherwise, wonderful app.
May end up my favorite app

I’m visually impaired but really want to stay up with The New Yorker and other publications. Can have my iPad read me articles using text to speech, but, as good as that is, lots of words are mispronounced and inflection can be off. I also get newspapers read in Audible, but selection is limited, readers are not always that good and the app can be flaky. AUDM is great: huge selection, so far the readers are excellent and the interface is great. Easy to pause, go back or forward, I can lave a story and pick it up again hours later. Even the controls are larger, making it easier for someone with low vision. The only problem? If I listen to everything that interests me, I’ll never do anything else.
Not stable

App keeps crashing. Tried to log in via Facebook twice. Crashed twice. Too bad... sounded like a promising app.
Same issue as many- great content, poor app

(iOS 11, iPhone 6) Love the content. Boourns to the app. A) takes 45 to 90 seconds to get past the splash screen B) bizarrely long pauses between “chapters” - like 6 or 7 seconds of dead air C) if I have “downloaded a story to listen later” why do I run into issues where it won’t play the story because it’s “buffering”? D) not 100% on this but I suspect that if the music was set to shuffle then it shuffles random chapters E) the scrolling text is nifty but pointless
Stealing money with fake trial

I signed up for a the free trial. Canceled within 24 hours and yet I was charged and the full subscription was started. This is not an accident.
Bad Application

You should tell me before downloading that it is not free, not to give me 24 hours free and 10$/month later. Web Apps are acting like robbers or gangsters nowadays!!!!
Crashed on signup, no search function

I was listening to a story on my laptop and decided to switch to my phone so I can move around. Saw that I need to get this app to start where I left off while listening. DL the app, crashed maybe 5 times while signing up. Then made me subscribe just to see content. Subscribed figuring the free trial will work fine. But, no, there is no search button that I can find. I’m unsubscribing and deleting as soon as I tap “send” here. No search button is a deal breaker.
Great Reading, Great Articles, App Needs Work

The story selection, the readers and the overall style of combining podcast addiction with current events is great! The app itself is a little finicky, and sometimes doesn’t like to DL stories for later, which is one of the main points of having this app and service because I fly so much.
