  • Could use some updates

    I’m thankful for the opportunity to be an influencer for the Penguin Random House, audio app, however, I have a few suggestions to make the app even better for fellow readers. My first suggestion would be to have other options for playback speed. I would love for the playback speed to increase beyond 2x. I would also appreciate if there was a visible percentage. also, there are times when I pause the audiobook, swipe to another app, and then when I come back to this app, it needs to completely restart. Again, I love the audiobooks on this app, but there are just some areas where this app could improve in order to make a comparable to other audiobook apps.

  • Offline use?

    How do you use this app on an airplane? Logs you out so often and needs internet to login. Do not understand this app at all.

  • Still waiting for faster speeds…

    By Brittany S. not a fan
    I really, really would like to use this app. I listen at 3x speed, 2.75 if I’m slowing it down. Unfortunately, I just don’t have the time to slow all the way down to 2x when I know I could be going faster or just wait for books to hit Libby.

  • Near Audible Replacement

    PRH has a exceptional library of audiobooks, especially good for tweens and Star Wars fans. Really needs full CarPlay app interface. Also, Playlists. Thanks PRH

  • Needs faster speeds

    I really wish this app went faster than 2x. As someone who regularly listens at 3x any slower feels so slow. I wish they would update it and then I would absolutely love this app.

  • Fine app missing key features

    This app is perfectly fine, and I really appreciate the audio quality, but it’s missing some key features. It would be nice to customize your audio speed beyond 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, and 2x. It also changes the audio speed every time the app closes, so when I go to plug it into my car for CarPlay I have to open up the speed settings because it immediately reverts to 1x speed, even though the app itself says it’s playing at 1.75x. Also, there is no progress percentage. It does seem like developers take comments and suggestions from their reviewers seriously, so hopefully these things will be figured out soon. Anyway, it’s a useable app and I’m grateful that it exists, but it can use some tweaks 😊

  • Playback issue

    By Nottobrite
    Love their audiobooks, well produced with some of the best narrators yet the app has one issue that really annoys me. When I stop listening for a while (even just 20 minutes) then restart the app the book goes back about 5 minutes. This usually doesn’t happen if I bookmark but otherwise I either have to relisten to about 5 minutes or try and FF to where I stopped. Otherwise the app is fine.

  • Much improved and great support!

    I previous had a 1 star review because of lots of technical issues with this app. The developers listened and the current version is much improved. The sound retains quality when sped up and the app doesn’t automatically log me out every time (though it still does log out regularly). Hopefully future updates include better interplay with Apple Car Play and the ability to further customize the playback speed.

  • Great Selection, Hindering Playback Speed

    By Cryllica
    The limit for playback speed is 2x, which is just too slow, especially for anyone who needs to finish ALCs in time to promote them when they come out.

  • App shuts down if any external sound starts

    The platform is okay but if an add or Map directions or anything goes off on your phone, it will stop the audiobook and not restart. You have to go back into the app to play again. It can’t even be restarted from the audio drop down on your phone because the app fully stops
