There used to be chapters for podcasts. Now it’s just seasons and episodes. The third level of chapters within episodes within seasons was very useful.

I have been using Desert Bookshelf for years. I have seen a lot of changes over the years. Some of them have been good. I find sometimes that I have to delete the app and then reinstall it to make it work.

This app used to be one of my favorites. Now it is so slow to download books and it glitches when trying to scroll up and down when I'm looking for specific titles. Some of the books in my library don't have their author's name attached to them anymore which is frustrating because that's how I find my book series. I've tried everything I could find on Google searches to clean it up like redownloading my books, uninstalling and reinstalling the app itself, and it hasn't helped. I'm seriously thinking of canceling my subscription at this point which stinks because I love all of the books in my library. If only I could download them...
