Lots of Bugs

annadigiuseppe

I love love love this app for listening to audio books! I have read so much more since I downloaded it last year. The new version has a ton of bugs though and the app sometimes crashes. It recently has had issues with downloading my books that makes me unable to listen to them, and the app does not have great tech support or help offered for those situations. Overall, I do love the app, but I would like to see the bugs and crashes fixed and with a more user-friendly support.

So buggy

Keeps telling me to try later… restarted, reloaded, returned book (then couldn’t get it back!!!). Infuriating.

Duration of Audiobooks

I enjoy audiobooks and this application clearly shows the available audiobooks with a short synopsis. However, in the Information section provides all except the duration of the audiobook. In your next update please add the duration of the books to the Information section of the audiobook for better selection. Thank you

Why don’t you understand book pages?

I have many issues with this app over the last few years. So I was excited when you finally learned that books are numbered sequentially and not by individual chapter. I was happy when I opened a newly checked out book and found that the book I’m starting to read, which every book seller I looked at told me, is listed as 278 pages. WhooHoo, a nice short book. But, NO. Not SimplyE. You used your inexplicable logic and presented this book as 571 pages!!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!??????? In what universe do you think this is a good thing? You seem to have no interest in making this a completely pleasant experience because in reading all the negative comments this year you have not responded to any one of them and certainly have no intention to improve in the near future.

Poor graphic design

Hard to read buttons impair functionality, red text on white background is not dark enough to be easily readable, but I love having this.

Ios 15 issues

Just updated and the app keeps crashing or telling me a book hasn't finished downloading but was previously downloaded to completion. Bugs need fixing.

iOS 15 crashes every time. This is such a bush league app So buggy. High school project?

I need and depend on this app. That is why it’s so frustrating that bugs they know about don’t get fixed for months. 1. Frequently when I GET a book but do not download right away, when I go to the book, it’ll say “something went wrong” (brilliantly helpful) or “download expired” or “ this chapter hasn’t downloaded yet, wait….” And yet the title does not retry a download automatically. Oh you say, just hit the download button? No such feature! 2. Downloads stop if the app is in the background, even if you’ve given the app background permission. 3. Your last listening point is not saved reliably unless you force quit the app. If you leave for more than a few minutes, it will restart somewhere before you were last. 4. I could go on…. Maybe I’ll amend later.

Thanks

Really enjoying the app - have been using it a lot. One suggestion, would love if there was some kind of “save” or “wish list” function where one could add books for later reading. Right now we have to reserve a book even if we’re not quite ready to read it.

Does not seem to be comparable with iOS 15

Can the developer comment on when an update will occur?

Glitch makes books disappear

(Yellow18)

The app is amazing when it is working properly however often times I will download books and they will disappear and then when I try to download others it states I have reached my download limit despite not having any books available to read due to them disappearing.
