PLEASE Adjust the More Options Menu on Right Side!
The gist: the newer right hand More Options Menu conflicts with playback and needs to be thought through for ease of function (and to prevent loyal customers from experiencing immense frustration).
I have enjoyed Audible for many years now, listening to several books each month and a library of nearly 400 titles. Most everything has been great (though I’ve found headaches with the bookmark/note taking and so do all of that outside the app), but one of the more recent updates changed the way customers interact with books in the library. You used to swipe left to select “remove from device,” which was a very conscious effort action. Now, however, there are three dots on the right side that one must hit to bring up a short menu of options to then select “remove from device.” My gripe with this is that 98% of the time, when a book is completed and I want to remove it to then begin a new title, I go to hit the dots and instead the dang book I just finished starts to play again. Similarly, I recently purchased several titles that all automatically downloaded to my device, and here again each time I tried to three-dot-tap to remove them for a later listening time, each one started playing. It’s so dang maddening. And I hate that my books are now all out of listening order. Please, PLEASE do something about this. The design is so flawed.

Good content, very marginal access to it
Have enjoyed using the app for a couple of years now.
Have bought many books on top of my monthly subscription. However today I have been left unable to continue a series I have been enjoying. As the option to buy the next book in the series has disappeared.
And I am now left unable to use the app for anything but listening to the free catalogue.
Can’t figure out the game plan for a company based on the sake of books, to not allow the purchase of books.
Attempts to use the help system to enquire was pointless as there was no one on the other end of the chat feature. And the automated options didn’t have any information relevant to my issue

Impressed.
I’ve been really impressed by this audiobook. It’s very well read and the information included seems like a godsend to me. I have done the keto diet in the past a couple of times and felt great. The diet recommendations here are a step further towards not eating sugar, which has been my downfall.
Recently, over the past two years, I’ve been injecting weight loss medication into me, which has proved to be a complete waste of time. I am heavier now than I have ever been in my life, as the NHS in the U.K. will only pay for 2 years worth of medication and support. After that, everything stops. Literally.
Since the end of it, I have gained 30lbs more than I have ever weighed before. I am very depressed and anxious and cannot stop eating sugary foods. I am also very angry. I have many health concerns and take 16 different medications every day. I am dangerously sick now.
So a Carnivorous diet is my last resort. I wish I could update this in 6 months. The book has given me new hope, however, and I will use all the strength I have to make my life better and be in control of it. I am 61. Wish me luck.
