Audra Books

After I updated to 1.2.8 I couldn’t access my library through my VPN even though the VPN didn’t was connected. I tried to email my problem (so I didn’t have to create a whole new account on git), but it was kicked back as undeliverable. Unfortunately, leaving this review here with hopes of it being fixed quickly.

I bought this app for ebook support. It has a lot of nice support for ebooks just a few nitpicky things for a better ux experience. - Continuous scroll works till the end of the chapter then you swipe. I keep swiping to two chapters ahead - Home Screen won’t update with current reads or continue the series. Takes a while to get back to my book I’ve been reading. - Show my downloaded books. I know my in progress books are there but I can’t see them. Would like to know when something is downloaded and be able to access them. Otherwise excellent app!!

It’s the best there is. But it’s got some bugs. The most painful is hard to describe. When trying to use the app while in airplane mode, sometimes the chapter view disappears. Progress gets forgotten, and downloaded content becomes hard to find. At first it works, but (like on long flights) when you say close the app and try to reopen it, things go sideways. Hopefully these offline inconsistencies get fixed. My expectation would be that the app just works like normal in offline mode, maybe with non-downloaded but cached artwork dimmed. Basic functionality and progress and ui consistency while in offline mode would be the place to start though. If i could donate more I would. Please don’t let the dev fire die
