The content is good, but the audio player couldn't be much worse. If I can listen to a presentation all the way through without any interruption, it'll be fine. But, if I have to stop the playback for any reason, the app will be real flaky about resuming where I left off, if at all, until either the app receives an update or I have reason to reboot the phone. This has been my experience over a few years, across multiple devices.

App seems to break if you download a books audio for listening in areas with unreliable, or overly slow, data. This has been an issue for years. Hopefully they'll sort it out eventually. Many books I look up don't have summaries. As long as I choose from the limited amount of book summaries this app is great. Some of the summaries have bias, especially in the "12 minute tip" they sometimes add at the end.
