I love downpour! It allows me to keep all my audiobooks in one digital library without requiring me to have them all downloaded (which saves me lots of memory on my phone). Endless options of audiobooks as well!

The browse function is pathetic, just a sort of top 100, no breakdown of actual literary categories that you can go through. It didn’t have the title I was looking for but I found it on another app (not the one you’re thinking of). I did immediately stumble onto some LGBT “children’s” books that looked like political propaganda. Wow so progressive or whatever.

want to access a chapter from a Table of Contents? You cannot. the list items are “tracks”, a music concept. they do not equal chapters, so you cannot count tracks to find your chapter. this is a huge oversight — maybe okay from a generic audio player. not acceptable from an Audiobook app. it’s doable: see libby app, e.g. use case: you buy a nonfiction/how-to/reference or self improvement book. you want to re-hear the chapter on “how to fix X”, because X is newly relevant. you cannot get to your chapter. because of DRM you cannot open the book you bought in a better app. pros: synch to other devices, speed controls, and an alternative to audible.com.

Countless times I’ve downloaded a book and it will not play. It only allows to to download. I left the app for a while hoping maybe it would improve. It hasn’t. I’ll be using Audible from now on. It is beyond frustrating communicating with customer service having them tell you to just re-download with the same results over and over.

The app keeps crashing whenever I go to the info screen for a book and I cannot download anything.

While I enjoy the perks of having a subscription it is hard to enjoy it when it is constantly glitching. The new update it is it working and even after I delete the app and re-install it. It continues to close before I have time to even see the screen to tap on an audio book. Not happy to pay every month and not be able to listen when I want too.

I can’t even create an account because the field keeps telling me that my e-mail isn’t valid!
