Thoughts on the latest Audible update

2013-06-21 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hello List, I am curious what people think about the most recent Audible update (version 2.0.4 from June 18). Now that the Previous and Next chapter buttons are back on the main screen I think this app the best it has ever been. One thing I have not yet figured out is how one uses the

Hi Seigard, As for the volume button, double-tap and hold, then you get a regular slider and can then do the one finger flick up and down to adjust the volume. I have not tried the airplay feature yet. I too think the app is the best it has ever been. Hth, Richard (Sent from Richard's iPod Touch

I like the new update. I have noticed, and htis may not be related to the update in any way, but the progress indicator on the screen that lists each part of the book, is missing from the last part. Many of the books I get are 2 parts. I can flick right through the screen and hear the progress of

Hi Wayne, I am just reading the first part of a book with 3 parts and you are correct, if I go back once from the Now Playing screen to where all 3 parts of the book are listed the progress indicator only shows up for the first part. However, I think this is by design. Voiceover reads that

Hi Richard, OK, I had tried the double tap and hold before, but now after you explained it I did so again and I did finally get it to work, but I find it finicky. This is definitely not standard Voiceover behavior and I wonder why don't just make the slider visible without having to tap the

If you have iBooks and the Kindle reader, you should be covered for the most popular formats of E-books and of course any E-books still in .TXT format you can read as well. I believe either app will read text files. HTH Alan - Original Message - From: David Chittenden To:

Sieghard, You are correct on the progress announcements. When you are in part 2 or part 3 of those books, do you get progress announcements? I understand why it would not tell you if you were listening to the first part. My point was that when hearing part 2 of 2, I was not finding the progress

Hi Arnold, Yes, I still use the Jump Back button since I can set it to go 60 seconds or 90 seconds whereas the swipe gesture goes forward or back by 30 seconds. This gesture has been there for a while, it was not in the original 2.0 release, but I think in the next one. Now in the last version
