Downpour.com App Reviews

Why do so many of the Downpour reviews here read like theyre staged? And so many reviewers have only one review ever, just for this app. Odd. Downpour is ok. Getting better. But Audible still does it all better IMHO.

Great selection. Great service. Their website needs some work, but just click on Become a Member and youll see how their approach can save you on some great audiobooks. The app is pretty slick too. Im very happy, and I just ordered a bunch of $5 audiobook CDs in their sale. I called and gave them hell on the phone because I couldnt find the overview on membership, but their customer service was great. Im done with Audible. These guys are the real deal. --An initially critical buyer whos now a very happy user halfway through his first book!

Im just trying this so my opinion is limited but I very much like it that I can get a wide amount of Blackstone Audio content.

I love Audible, but I find Downpour a great addition to the audio book world. The app is easy to use once you get to know its quirks, and Downpour has some great prices, really low ones, each week. Its good to add some competition to the audio lovers world. It makes everyone better.

The app works really well. Can resume mid-download, keep track of chapters, etc. Basically what one would expect. No drm, unlike audible, makes downpour my audiobook provider of choice.

This app is easy to use. It integrates really well with going back and forth between my headphones and my car. I use the 30 rewind often and it works seamlessly. All around great player. I like it better than Audibles.

Lousy app Poor Website Crummy service Too expensive NOT ONLY WILL THIS APP NOT DOWNLOAD IN THE BACKGROUND IT WILL NOT EVEN DOWNLOAD TRACKS NOT APPEARING ON THE SCREEN

Have only recently encountered Blackstone Audio but I am most favorably impressed with the quality of the app and the content. No clicks or pops or other audio imperfections and the readers do a very professional job. Recommend without reservation.

Works exactly as expected.

This is way better then most audiobook listening apps!

I have Audiobook and Audible, and I plan to give this newly found treasure a try. I have been listening to a wonderful series read by Stephan Rudnicki whos voice I could listen to all day. The story features a character named Lord Valentine and it is so far charming ang a bit whimsical.

And for good reason. Im highly impressed with it. Its simple and elegant and easy to use. Way to go Blackstone! Im proud to work for this company!

Would love this app even more and would give 5 stars if there was a way to rotate the orientation. Landscape mode would be wonderful!

My only issue is that it would be nice to be able to stream the audio from my library, without actually downloading the tracks. (Perhaps its possible, and I just havent figured out how yet.) iPhone storage space is always at a premium, and storing audio files takes up a lot of real estate.

When I pause playback with the button on my Bluetooth headphones, Im not able to resume using the button. I have to unlock my iPod and switch back to the app before I can resume the audiobook. Very annoying.

This app will only work in vertical view. Not horizontal as iPad users often prefer.

Love the app, but they need to bring back the fast play functions from previous versions quickly.

Want to play faster like audible and if using headphones or Bluetooth you can just restart without going to app. Please update

I love using downpour. I like the interface, ease of use and download. Perfect!

Super easy to use and exceptionally stable. As a long time consumer of audiobooks stretching back to the days of cassettes, being able to swiftly switch between books and not have to waste time queueing where I left off, the app makes me marvel at how far technology has come.
