Extremely clunky and buggy when trying to use it in offline environments, such as planes, trains, or subways. Seems to require an Internet connection to do stuff even for books you've downloaded offline. I've seen things fail to load that are downloaded, or that load but look like wingdings font. Really frustrating experience.
Recent update has made this app unusable. Something to do with using phones default display setting is causing the app to go back and forth between light and dark mode. Another issue the lag. Searching and opening book takes a while and often the app opens up incorrect or previously opened book.
Painful UI experience. Can't download Livestream recordings which is terrible for those of us that spend time on a plane or traveling with unreliable network connections and want to watch sessions. Random log outs. Live session recording player has no concept of checkpoints so one wrong UI gesture and you're either reset or totally out of the session. Why is video timing in different units desktop vs mobile? Amazingly frustrating. Optimize for mobile please
