Good concept, but weird bugs. For example, when you cannot find a book, you're asked to recommend it. That's a simple form with a title and a URL field (the latter is optional). First, you cannot paste anything, so good luck typing the URL. Second, the URL is not actually optional. If you try to submit only the title, you get an error. You won't get any suggestions this way, sorry.

I love the content it provides. The app it self is annoying. When you finish listening to a book, the progress is not recorded. Meaning the book stays in your library as incomplete, so you have to adjust its status manually. There is no function to automatically start the next book in your library to listen to. To much focus on social media. Each time you finish a book, it asks you to share it. It tries to motivate you to keep reading by giving you praises, but actually by doing so it demotivate

I have used this app since 2022 and now it's barely functionable. The quality of the material is still excellent but the app sucks, it won't open so I have to uninstall and then reinstalll, it will work for a day or two and then stop working again. I have no idea what you did to the app but this is horrible. It is not a memory or storage issue, I've run my phone through multiple checks. And all other apps are unaffected which points to this app being the issue. Please fix.
