App does not work with CarPlay. When will this feature be added? Also, I see I can save a bookmark but where do I go to find them? Certainly not in the book file I stored them.
3-4 mos. later, no reply to SERIOUS concerns? Not motivating me to download, I tell ya! ?
Here’s what happens: My notifications tell me about a free download but when I click on it, it only opens the app. And I can’t find the free download ANYWHERE! And, naturally, I don’t remember the title because I expected to be taken right to it. So I can’t search for it. And I can’t go back to the notification for the title because it disappears as soon as I click it. SO I open my email which also tells about the free download. I click on that and get an error saying it can’t establish a database connection. But now I know the title, so I go back to this app and search for it. But often I’m told my search found no titles and I should try another search. So I try the search several more times and it FINALLY brings up the title so I can download it.
I love the sound quality, graphics, layout and ability to speed up, slow down and move in increments. Awesome!
The player doesn't even offer the most basic functions - fast forward, reverse, anything. Not only that, but Ive downloaded free books in the past but after an iPhone crash, they are all gone and don't even show up on a my account page that I can recover. I hope that doesn't happen if you purchase books!
I love the book I'm listening to, but it is a total gamble whether hitting pause will keep your place, return to the beginning of the hour-long section, or start you at a completely random place. Half the time the time doesn't show up, so I end up having to use the 30 second skip to get anywhere close. Pretty ridiculous, and certainly doesn't make me want to purchase through the app.
Not only will this app not keep your place, there is no way skip back to segments of a book. Will only play the current segment/section.
What did you do!!! I had Bunnicula and a Complete Beatrix Potter (both free) and a few samples and they are Gone!!!
I had downloaded the 'free' books over the last few months and they are all gone now with the latest release of the app.
