My main issue, even when you are logged in, is it doesn't tell you which books aren't available in your region (the website does). It would be handy to have a download status bar show up under the thumbnail of the book cover image instead of having to go into the chapters list to see the status of the book download. I wish the sleep timer had a 10 minute or custom option. I do like the quality of the audio, the ability to skip forward and back, & the ability to download to external storage.

Downpour app does have the ability to adjust playback speed but only at specific speeds. This should be changed to allow the playback speed to be adjusted to any point in the range, as all other such apps do. If this is too difficult, at least the app should add points between .75 and 1, such as .8 and .9. Currently there is only one speed below 100%. A bug in how the playback speed setting works is that if play is paused or stopped, playback speed reverts to 100% and user must reset.

Have liked the app. There seems to be a rewrite that doesn't work and just installed. All my 30 plus books need to be reloaded. The timer doesn't work. The speed of reading doesn't stay at the setting. Of course no way of contacting company. Downpour got back to me but problem still persist. They tell me to reach out to customer care. Which I have. But they cannot seem to fix the issue. I would love to buy more books but as long as the reader is not working correctly it is not worth it
