Good selection of titles, terrible app

Pros: You can listen to the entire Naxos Spoken Word CatalogCons: You can't browse the catalog (must know the specific author or title), you can't favorite books, no captions on the screen, have to wait at least 1 hour to use the app if you forget to log off their website (even if your computer is turned off!) I hope they improve this app!

This is possibly the worst app ever made.

I truly app grateful that this app is available to use since I am a college student on a limited budget with lots of books to read. Nevertheless:I wonder whether the people at Naxos even care whether their apps work well. This app is crap. It stops downloading if the screen goes into standby. That’s ridiculous. There’s no fast forward or rewind buttons in the standby screen mode. The app will only allow a certain amount megabytes to be downloaded, apparently, even when you have many gigabytes left in storage. The app crashes repeatedly for no apparent reason. Naxos would know this if they even bothered to use their own app to see how it works. Either they haven’t done this (which makes no sense if you cared whether your app works well), or they have done this and just don’t care that their app is crap.

I had to unsubscribe to the service because this app is so bad. The fact that I have to log in every time is slightly annoying, but I wouldn’t mind that so much if it didn’t take forever for a book to load. Sometimes the load screen just freezes completely. I’ve only had this app a few hours and I’ve already had to login multiple times. Sessions should not expire while I’m listening to a book. Such a shame because their library is excellent.

I love the library and I hate this app

The app is so terrible, I might need to cancel my subscription, which would be a shame because the audiobook library is so good. Why must I log in every time I open the app again? Half the time, the screen freezes when I open the app, and I can’t even login at all. Can you at least enable facial recognition for the login routine, to save us all a lot of time and trouble? Even better — don’t make us login every single time we open the app.

Bugs fixed.
