经常说无网络而断播

永远不能连续听。每次听一集就自动切断，说无网络。然后关闭app，等几分钟再打开又可以听一集。

Not user friendly or just not US friendly?

I paid my annual membership in US which was charged way more than China or other Mandarin speaking countries, but I can’t even use the library function to “Follow “ the books I like or leave a comment? I am canceling for sure.

资源少，又贵

国内100块rmb14个月，这里要328，虽然328也买得起，看到100块的果断不再续费了
