BookFunnel 4+

It would be nice if it worked with Car Play so I can listen to the audiobooks while driving. I would also like it if I can browse my library as the book is playing. I purchased Laura Burton and Jessie Cal’s Fairy Tales Reimagined series, and since the books are meant to be read in a specific order, I would really like if the number in the series was included in the title, or better yet, the cover art. I’m also a little disappointed that the books cannot be sent to other listening apps such as Audible (which is accessible on Car Play, hence my attempt) despite it showing “Send to Another App” as an option on the book’s main screen.

Downloaded the app to read an extended epilogue download for a book I’d just finished, and the experience was truly horrible. The content library worked fine but beyond that functionality totally fell apart. The display type was very small - smaller than 8pt type I’m sure - and controls to zoom to page width or fit to screen did nothing. Zooming using iPadOS reverse-pinch motion did zoom but then it was impossible to scroll up or down to the next page and pinching back to the original resolution didn’t fix that issue - in fact it went too far and switched into page thumbnail view. Then the display froze entirely. Tried closing the app and restarting - and same thing happened. Ridiculous waste of time. The last one of these I downloaded had the option of opening the PDF download in Kindle. Not sure why that option went away, but a save yourself the hassle and just open and read the PDF on its own. This app isn’t worth the effort to download it.

I like it just fine, but I wanted to provide a minor bug report and I can’t figure out how else to communicate with the developer.

After listening for a while the entire background gets overlayed with what looks like a small, fairly random pattern that is tiled over everything. When you interact with the controls then that section of the screen is updated and the pattern disappears there. If you leave the screen and come back it’s gone completely but it will come back after a while. It doesn’t stop you from listening to the book or anything and the visuals on a audio book app aren’t all that important but I thought you might want to know. I’ll happily up my rating to 5 stars if you fix it, as otherwise I’m pretty happy with the app.

A personal preference, though certainly not a bug, would be that the book I’m listening to doesn’t pause when I’m browsing the library until I click on a different book to play.

Anyway, thank you very much!
