Well unfortunately it looks like this app is no better than any other streaming app. A couple of months ago I was wanting to listen to one of the audiobooks I “purchased”, and it would no longer play. Months later still not working I checked, and none of the author’s books are available on ebook or audiobook anymore. This is only made worse by the fact that Covenant/Deseret has been discontinuing physical media. I’m glad this happened before I purchased the other dozen books in the series, and another series that includes 9 books in the series. Thankfully I already own both sets on CD. At this point I’ll be checking Audible for audiobooks; especially since both of the aforementioned series are available there. I guess I just expected better from a company that is owned by the church.
