I have been trying to read Heart of Darkness since forever, and finally managed to do it! Nice design and great value at $4 for unlimited. Reading Frankenstein now.

Slow interface on swipes and voices are different and distressing

As a reader this is not an experience I want to have. App prompts for subscription on second screen without providing any value. It’s slow the entire interface clearly not designed using SwiftUI.
Developer Response
Thank you for the feedback, hemingwaysmith. Opus Audiobooks is actually built 100% natively in SwiftUI, so the sluggish performance you're experiencing isn't expected. We'd love to investigate this - could you share your device model through the app's support section? Regarding different narrators, each brings their own interpretation to these classics, but we understand the preference for consistency. We're always working to maintain quality across all recordings.Thanks for helping us improve the app.
