Good content, terrible UX and playback controls – Abide - Bible Meditation Sleep Review

Thank you for your content and meditations, I learnt from Abide thanks to the Bible app and it has since helped me in my meditations. But if I’m evaluating the app for the app itself, the user experience is frustrating: overall playback experience is very frustrating compared to any top podcasting or music app out there - can’t move forward in time or skip to the second I’m looks for - sharing breaks playback and forces you to start over - sharing does not give the option of “copy link” - buffering is very very low, making it impossible to listen to messages when in a low connection (3G or lower in Europe, with 1mbps connections) - can’t store messages offline - 15second fast rewind is not accurate and does not immediately take you 15 seconds, it does move the timer but it starts buffering again while the time goes on anyway - timer of playback is inaccurate - no integration with playback buttons when phone locked or on control center (as any other music or podcast app) Good: - content!!!! <3 - topics and topic navigation to find content - history - big play button - 15second back button (although it does not work properly Thank you for reading this and look forward to a next, better version of UI!
