It's slowly improving and is nearly functional. It looks like the content no longer jitters uncontrollably as you scroll, so that's good. You still can't successfully mark an audiobook as finished so everything you've listened to still sits in your "In Progress" queue but that's not a deal breaker. Search finally appears to have basic functionality and I'm hopeful that audiobooks will no longer skip random chunks of chapters. Edited

Positives: The content is great and there is a wide selection of their materials available. Finding items and the search have improved dramatically! Negatives: The app is very slow. It doesn't keep your place well. Bookmarks are not always retained. I keep getting old bookmarks, but the new bookmarks I just set are gone. There is no help in the app. Overall, there is a lot of work to be done here. There is a lot of potential, especially with the upgrades to the search feature. Edited

The app just keeps getting worse. Years ago the problems were just annoying. Inaccurate searches and things like that. Now it is basically impossible to use. I wish it would work because I would love to subscribe again, but finding my way back to the beginning of chapter because it skips ahead a ways at every chapter is really, really maddening. And then more maddening is dealing with customer service 🙄. You should spend more on app improvements than ads, then you'll keep subscribers! Edited

I love being able to select from multiple titles to listen to, in various genres. I appreciate that I can adjust the speed of the reading & that I can highlight parts of e-books. I can fill my days with uplifting, relatable information, or interesting stories and adventures. It's taking me a little while to adjust to the latest look & navigation of the app, and I have had some struggles with navigating through e-books, so I mostly use just the audio books.

it's better than it was............. but the search engine is absolutely terrible. and you need to download the books before listening to them because they tend to play for a little while then pause for thirty or so minutes then it randomly starts playing again. the update and content are great but the search engine really needs to be improved
