Audiobrary

I love Julia Whelan, but this app is terrible! The fact that each chapter stands alone makes it impossible to rewind if you miss the end of the chapter. I’ve given this app a lot of chances, but I’m done.

Love the aesthetics of the design. Love the ability to make my own playlists. Love the ability to download individual tracks. Don’t love that I can’t pause from my headphones (and I’ve tried several different ones - couldn’t pause from any of them). Don’t love that I can’t see a list of my bookmarks, you can’t even see which tracks contain bookmarks. The only way to find my bookmarks is to open each track individually and look for them. There are some stability issues while switching tracks (which is especially annoying while searching for bookmarks). And I find the social network aspect (being able to see track likes and comments) a bit odd. When I sign up for a social network, I lock my stuff down so random strangers on the internet aren’t privy to my personal life, so I’m not thrilled about that……
