I love almost everything about downpour
Downpour as a service is great. They sell drm free audiobooks that I actually own instead of license. Their membership plan is great when Im reading a lot of books easily, but its also incredibly easy to cancel it if I need to for a while. I have a tendency to read in spurts, so I may have a membership for a few months then cancel it to catch up. Theres no guilt tripping when I cancel and I can start it up again whenever I want. In addition to the monthly book, membership also gets you access to discounted books and book sales, which are usually great.
So why only 4 stars? The app still needs some work. Theres a known bug where playing at a faster speed will cause the book to stop if your phone falls asleep. Im sure they will fix it eventually and in the mean time, since I actually own the books theres nothing stopping me from downloading them on my computer and playing them in another app. Thanks Downpour for no DRM!
