Great product. Car mode fantastic. Never pre-order books
The car mode is great! (v 2.25 running on Iphone 6s). It lets me go hands free in non-bluetooth cars where I have to plug in using a wire. I can set the phone where its visible and the buttorn for play/pause and the button to back up 30 seconds are easy to hit; they require less time looking away from the road than changing channel or band on a radio. Fantastic if you are in rental cars regularly. (I dont use the bookmark feature very often, so the button is not relevant for me.)
The only downside that I have noticed in this version of the app is that the "recent" books list uses "ORDER DATE" rather than PURCHASE DATE" for sorting. This means if you pre-order a book, it shows up way down your list. This defeats the primary benefit of pre-ordering, which is that you can purchase and forget. If you pre-order but then have to search for the book, you may purchase the book but never notice it. Even if you remember that you pre-ordered a book, you have to search through your library to find it. If you are an avid reader, this can take some time. (To be fair, this problem is not specific to the App, it occurs on the web site as well, and may have been around before this version of the app.) Suggested user work-around: delete your existing pre-orders and either purchase after relesae or pre-order whithin a week of the release date.
P.S., to anybody who read my earlier review, Audible has fixedd the problem where the book tha was currently playing did not show up on the recent books list.
