MyBook: books and audiobooks 12+

New features request :)

Hey MyBook team!

If you are working on 2023 roadmap here are few ideas to consider:

1. Pause/Resume download. Perfect if IN PROGRESS items will be added to the Downloaded view with the same options.
2. Add filter for Finished books. Another option is to show Finished label somehow on list view for search results as well, not only on Book Details screen (or maybe grey out picture). Having it all would be awesome, but filter is preferable :)
3. Please-please-please add more options to playback speeds, at least up to 3.5. Some books narrated soooo slowly. Easy change but so much needed!
4. Global switch on the app level between Books/Audiobooks/both - so you don’t have to add same filters every time for your search
5. Take into account playback speed when show time left in the book/chapter.

Thanks for the great app and looking forward to try new versions with even better user experience 🤗

Runner-up

The fact that this app has a monthly subscription available for US is a huge plus!

The Player is decent, although it seems that it doesn’t remember the last played position which is a huge minus.

The Reader has a number of useful features, HOWEVER:

- the empty space takes a lot of real estate on the screen when in the landscape mode;

and, the most important of all

- it does not have a continuous scroll option which makes it harder to read on mobile devices and difficult to highlight the text.

Hello! Thanks for your feedback! We are constantly improving our app and we are already working on the problems that you indicate.

Very buggy and unfair

Changed required subscription level in the middle the book I’ve been reading - from standard to premium, so with my Standard subscription I’m not able to finish the book unless I upgrade to Premium. This is so stupid. I started to use this app because the book I wanted to read was available with standard subscription while most of good ones are available with premium subscription. And now when I’ve read almost half of the book with my Standard subscription, they changed it to Premium. It is so inappropriate. Of course, I will not upgrade knowing the way this company is treating their customers

Спасибо, что написали нам. Мы понимаем, как это неприятно, но иногда автор или издательство повышают цену книги, и тогда она переходит из одной подписки в другую. К сожалению, мы никак не можем на это повлиять. У нас в планах заранее предупреждать об этом наших читателей, чтобы вы могли закончить книгу быстрее, чем она перейдет в другую подписку
