United StatesThe free Downpour.com app gives your Android device access to all your downloadable audiobooks from the Downpour.com e-commerce website, complete with “single-touch” full library and audiobook list views.
No Wi-Fi connection is needed to download your audiobooks. As long as you have a cell connection you can begin your download—but data rates may apply. Once downloaded, you can take your audiobooks with you on the go.
Quick listening — You can start listening to your audiobook as soon as the first track is downloaded to your device. All additional tracks will continue to download in the background.
The Downpour.com app contains well designed playback functionality and controls, including track advance and previous track selection and bookmarking—the app saves your place automatically so you can pick up right where you left off without having to remember where you were. Other key features include track-list view and time elapsed by track/chapter, with on-screen track scrub bar functionality.
Easy Syncing — There is no need for difficult and time consuming transfers/syncing of files between your computer and your Android device. The Downpour.com app will handle all of the technical aspects for you—no more worrying about which file type is the most appropriate for your device.

Best audiobook service out there, and the app continues to improve yoy
Downpour app does have the ability to adjust playback speed but only at specific speeds. This should be changed to allow the playback speed to be adjusted to any point in the range, as all other such apps do. If this is too difficult, at least the app should add points between .75 and 1, such as .8 and .9. Currently there is only one speed below 100%. A bug in how the playback speed setting works is that if play is paused or stopped, playback speed reverts to 100% and user must reset.
Is very nice
Great alternative to audible - plus you actually own the books, so no DRM :)
10/10 customer service
A nice app
They have great selection of books that I can access any time so I have a l library I can carry with me. The app is easy to use. I can easily move around the book. I love the sleep timer feature.
