RATING & COMMENTS OF Google Play Books & Audiobooks

“Thank goodness for this. I’m not even sure if it was pre-installed on my new phone or if I downloaded it. However, I was able to get rid of an old player that I had kept around because it was the only one that could do a certain thing. This accomplishes all of my goals and does so effectively. My only gripe is that the voice speed altered at some point. There are now just two settings that can change the speed, and I think each is either too fast or too sluggish. It will be ideal once a speech speed setting is added.  Erica.D”

“I decided to give Google Books a try after experimenting with a few other applications. How wonderful might a free app actually be, after all? I was astonished by how much this app handled epub files better than some of the paid/subscription apps. The two pages are perfectly displayed. That attribute was one I was specifically seeking for in children’s picture books. With that feature, other apps had trouble. Now, I’m quite content. Archie.C”

Originally 5 stars for the free read along. But you can not set a timer, so sometimes I will fall asleep and wake up to the book finished. This app also has a hard time catching up to the read along. Sometimes, the book will say I am on page 40, but the read aloud is reading page 120..it doesn’t always synch. (This could also be my older phone. I still love this app, though, and I have found myself using this over my kindle more and more

So glad this exists. Can’t even remember if I downloaded it or if it came with my new phone. But it allowed me to delete an old player that I kept simply because it was the only that did a very specific thing. This does everything I want it to and it does it well. My only issue is at some point the voice speed changed. Only two settings that affect the speed now, each is either too fast or too slow in my opinion. Add a speak speed setting and it’s perfect.

I used it for more than fourteen years and it worked great. My high-speed internet works perfectly, was well. Lately, reading books allowed started taking frequent breaks, mainly if ‘more natural voice’ is toggled. They are quite annoying as I’m not used to them. I should get what I bought. Put a refresh button or fix it one way or another, I’m sick of downloading several times each book I’m reading…
