"This app has a WONKY user experience. Getting set up on bookshelf+ and downloading my first audibook involved going back and forth between the app and the website multiple times. From what I can tell, I can`t select and download audiobooks within the app; I can only do that on the website. Some of the website pages were not great on a phone, like the membership purchase page. The product managers should watch a few fresh users go through the experience a for th first time to see what I mean."

"Every book or audiobook I choose to read is always inspirational and brings new insight into what ever it is that I`m looking for. I live this app. I`m grateful for the gift it is to me."

"This app is incredibly buggy and frustrating. Like others have said, I enjoy the content but get so tired of it stopping on its own. It also jumps around sometimes. I have missed chunks of story because it jumps forward and won`t let you back track to the portion missed. Sections repeat themselves and the sound quality isn`t always great. I have only kept it because this is the only app to listen to certain books. Very frustrating."

"The scroll reading mode is the mode that works for keeping a bookmark. It simply won`t keep bookmarks in the page turn reading mode. Like, it will go back to the beginning of the app instead of saving your bookmark. That`s SUPER weird! Please fix this and make the app interface look a bit more 2020`s, not 2008-ish😂. Seriously. Sorry to be hard but read the reviews. Everyone has this problem!👎"

"Unpolished app. When you click download all. It still says download all even after everything`s downloaded. So you`re clicking it again two weeks later. But the worst part by far is that the audio pauses itself after about 7 minutes on my Samsung phone. No other app has this issue."

"Since the update of this app earlier this year, it`s the worst! I love the content it gives me access to but, the operation of the app is horrible. Once I download & listen to a book it never goes away. Supposedly, when you remove a book, it`s dimmer, but just barely. I`m constantly clicking on books in my library and then realizing it`s one I already read or listened to. Please fix this poor design!!! Couldn`t there be a 2nd list for those designated as read or something that works better."

"The audiobook interface for this app is AWFUL. - You cannot rewind 30 seconds from the menu bar, you have to open the app (unlocking your phone). - If you rewind 30 seconds more than once it restarts the chapter. - Playback contains prompts to change the CD. - I keep getting a message to re-download a chapter, I dare you to figure out how to do that. I only use this for audiobooks, and it makes me crazy that software works this poorly."

"Terrible! I bought a plus subscription so that i could listen to books that are available on that subscription, but it will not download or stream or do whatever it is supposed to do. It says it is in my library, but there is nothing. This once was a good app, however, it no longer works."

"I love this concept and I love using it the issue is that it always times out and it freezes. I really hope you can work out the bugs because I do like it. But it is also annoying."

"Glitchy and difficult to use. When listening to a book it randomly stops and the app disappears. Every time a phone call or notification is recieved it stops, resumes them stops and the app disappears. Twice now a purchased book (I`ve only purchased 2 so far because the first purchase was such an ordeal) does not load as it should. The first time I just got a refund. This time I`m waiting (still waiting) for customer service help. I`m a member but seriously considering not renewing next year."

"Unfortunately, there isn`t a way to do this more privately through the app. I had this app a few years ago (different phones), and it still has the same problems--randomly removes downloaded audiobook files, freezes up randomly when I`m listening to books (even though I`ve downloaded them and clicked all the buttons to stream and automatically download when on data), etc. It`s just not a very reliable app. I hoped it would be better a couple of years later, but it has the same problems."

"I love the content, and fot the most part I find the app easy to use. The problem with this app is that when I am listening it often stops. Then I have to open the app and touch pause then start it again to get it going. There are times when it jumps to the next chapter without completing the current chapter. Then I am not sure if I really have listened to the entire book or podcast."
