Still terrible after 10 months. If you're hoping to use this app as an alternative to Audible, don't. It's very unreliable, and the quality of the audio is terrible. When I'm listening to a book, it stops playing about every 30 minutes or so. It has nothing to do with notifications or any issue I can find. I've reinstalled it, restarted my phone, and other basic troubleshooting I do for other apps. Nothing seems to change it. I only use this app now to relisten to books I own."

It's really annoying that the app doesn't save your place after you close the book. Even if I use a "bookmark" it keeps reverting back to earlier in the book and I have to flip forward pages until I get back to where I was. I also wish there were better settings for reading; I want to change the font size, but it makes the spacing look all crazy because it's only ever "justified" alignment. PS. Kobo, if you actually read this, please don't copy and paste the same generic reply as all the others"

This app has a lot of potential to be a great competitor for KU, but needs a lot of work. There is a glitch whenever I start a new chapter the previous chapters page will show up instead of the next one. Searching by genre, having a page for all authors works, and a page for each series. There is no cohesive organization. Highlighting does not always work, there needs to be an option to edit existing highlight in case of a misselect. The option to clear personal ratings from books."
