Love the BOTM subscription but very frustrating trying to listen to audiobooks on the app as it doesn’t hold your spot in the book and each time you re-launch the app you have to find your spot again.

the audiobook feature it so bad it’s basically unusable. it stops playing frequently and to start playing audio again i have to reload the app and jump forward about 15 seconds as it always restarts in a position i’ve already listened to. i frequently listen to audiobooks while driving so having to pick up my phone and reload the app poses a major hazard.

A subscription I don’t mind paying for! Decent variety of choices to choose from in genres and styles as well as a well built app.
Two things to improve upon:
1) PLEASE for the love of god provide an option for a paperback option. Hardcover books are more difficult to travel with and to read in bed etc. You recently released a short story book which is paperback so I know it is possible from whatever printer company you’re partnered with ;)
2) I think there could be a little improvement in how your ordering works in giving customers flexibility. In the app if you don’t like this months choices and want to choose a different month’s it only lets you see a predetermined list not just being able to browse previous months.

The app makes it easy to choose books and is easy to navigate. I just wish we could see the options of books before the first of the month.

BOTM, you've been so focused on changing the logo just a smidge and adjusting the colors a hair, and making the bookmark larger that you stopped thinking about UI and removed the section of the app that shows a user *the books they’ve purchased from you.*
😳
It’s now harder to review a book, mark book read, or figure out what books you already own so you can buy more. Silly silly. Kinda useless app now.

UPDATE in response to the developer response: Your statement is only half true, and doesn’t solve the issue.
The issue is that you removed the auto populated bookshelf of user purchases that made it easy to review, mark and access the books you own. Yes, there’s a section for “books you haven’t read” but it doesn’t auto populate. It requires a user to add every single book they’ve purchased from BOTM manually one by one.
That’s not the same functionality.
My complaint about the app still stands.
PS: The email address you suggest I reach out to about this bounced. So add that to the list of fixes.

I got the 5 dollar book deal to see what it was about little did i know i was signing myself up for over 20 dollars for a truly terrible list of books to choose from when i went to cancel my membership i was told i couldn’t cancel it until it was charged for another book. Total scam DO NOT BUY

This company does not care about its members. Waste of money and poorly curated selections. Customer service took nearly two weeks to respond to me.
