New Books with no audio

I had enjoyed this app for quite a while. That’s why I did a yearly subscription… But since June the audio has not worked on any of the books and there have not been any new books added even if you go to the new selection tab I have updated the app. I have uninstalled reinstalled. I’ve sent emails through the app and I cannot get a resolution at all… For those of us that have paid and are avid short story readers an open line of communication if there’s an issue with the app and an offer of ‘until we get it fixed, we’re not gonna hold however long against you’ because like I said this has been ongoing since June and we’re now in August…

Disappointed

Every time I try to read a book, I am unable to finish it. I have over 11,000 coins but don’t even get the option to unlock a chapter with coins. So disappointed.

Unsubscribe

I cannot unsubscribe, for some reason it doesn’t show up on subscriptions and it doesn’t give you an email to unsubscribe like normal apps do. DONT SUBSCRIBE!
