User Reviews

Overall, Downpour is praised for its DRM-free MP3 downloads, lack of subscriptions, simple interface, solid selection, and affordable pricing. Many users appreciate that you own what you buy and can listen on multiple devices, with responsive support. However, a sizable portion report frequent stability problems: crashes, stalls, and lost progress; occasional sign-in errors or the app failing to open; lag on some devices; and inconsistent library visibility where purchased titles don't always appear. Some desire a larger library and easier discovery of new books. Despite bugs, many remain loyal due to value and policy.

Pros

DRM-free MP3 downloads of purchased audiobooks
Buy-per-book model (no subscription) with flexible ownership
Wide selection of titles and affordable pricing
Intuitive, easy-to-use interface for browsing and purchasing
No ads and generally helpful, quick support

Cons

Frequent crashes, freezes, and lost progress (including issues with Bluetooth/car playback)
Inconsistent library visibility/sync – purchased titles may not appear
Performance lag and unstable playback (slow responsiveness, lag during use)
Difficulty discovering new books / limited or clunky search/navigation
Sign-in errors or the app failing to open on occasions

I loved this app and used it daily, but since switching from iphone to android it keeps bugging out. I won't be able to play any of the audiobooks I've purchased through the app even after uninstalling and reinstalling sometimes for days at a time. I really hope there are some improvements made to the android version because I miss being able to consistently listen to audiobooks at night.
