Solid audio app
This is a pretty solid audiobook app — has all the standard features like sleep timer, quick buttons for rewind/skip, and speed adjustment. My main complaint is that the speed is capped at 2x, and I normally listen at 2.5-3x (I know, it’s fast). Also, playback resumes as soon as I open the app, which is sometimes annoying if I’m in public and haven’t gotten my headphones in yet. But otherwise, really nice so far!
Could use some updates
I’m thankful for the opportunity to be an influencer for the Penguin Random House, audio app, however, I have a few suggestions to make the app even better for fellow readers. My first suggestion would be to have other options for playback speed. I would love for the playback speed to increase beyond 2x. I would also appreciate if there was a visible percentage. also, there are times when I pause the audiobook, swipe to another app, and then when I come back to this app, it needs to completely restart. Again, I love the audiobooks on this app, but there are just some areas where this app could improve in order to make a comparable to other audiobook apps.
Offline use?
How do you use this app on an airplane? Logs you out so often and needs internet to login. Do not understand this app at all.
Still waiting for faster speeds…
I really, really would like to use this app. I listen at 3x speed, 2.75 if I’m slowing it down. Unfortunately, I just don’t have the time to slow all the way down to 2x when I know I could be going faster or just wait for books to hit Libby.
Near Audible Replacement
PRH has a exceptional library of audiobooks, especially good for tweens and Star Wars fans. Really needs full CarPlay app interface. Also, Playlists. Thanks PRH
Needs faster speeds
I really wish this app went faster than 2x. As someone who regularly listens at 3x any slower feels so slow. I wish they would update it and then I would absolutely love this app.
Fine app missing key features
This app is perfectly fine, and I really appreciate the audio quality, but it’s missing some key features. It would be nice to customize your audio speed beyond 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, and 2x. It also changes the audio speed every time the app closes, so when I go to plug it into my car for CarPlay I have to open up the speed settings because it immediately reverts to 1x speed, even though the app itself says it’s playing at 1.75x. Also, there is no progress percentage. It does seem like developers take comments and suggestions from their reviewers seriously, so hopefully these things will be figured out soon. Anyway, it’s a useable app and I’m grateful that it exists, but it can use some tweaks 😊
