Hi, I hope so because I truly miss that functionality which is why I took the time to spend an hour of my life on the phone with my particular rep before I could get him to understand that which I meant about them. I was so glad of heart when he finally got it I think he might have thought me mad (laughs). And I’m glad to hear that others have reported their unhappiness. Personally I don’t see why they couldn’t have left the rewind and fast-forward buttons as they were and simply made them like the delete buttons now are where their active status or lack thereof is user defined. Either way I’d take the scrubbers if only they worked. Why even have them there if they’re not functional. Here’s hoping their functionality in some form returns soon as I do miss it. And thanks for verifying it isn’t just me (big smile). And again thanks for your thorough write up at the app’s launch as well. Robin

I talked to Audible support on the phone as well and the person I spoke with said that even for a sighted user all of these controls and scrubber bars have been removed. I am surprised that they don’t offer additional functionality even for the iPad where all that screen space is available. Oh well, I am almost sure that this will change again since th support agent I spoke with told me she already had a lot of calls from other people who were complaining about the lack of navigational control.

However while I can interact with this control when the book is paused it returns to its original position once I hit play again. Is this a bug or an I just stupid and missing something? I did report it to audible via email and phone support and the man on the phone was able to reproduce it with me. He also indicated that there’s another similar scrubber control when in the chapters and bookmarks screen if you tap near the top of the screen that he thought might work better but I couldn’t find any such element with voiceover.

The buttons are identical. There is no longer the fast forward or rewind in the version for the iPad or iPhone/iPod touch. In the last few versions of the app, the book would continue when I ended a in coming call. This isn't new for me. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Feb 24, 2013, at 11:17 PM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote: > Hello iPad users, > > Could anybody who has an iPad and who has used the new Audible app describe > a bit how the app looks on an iPad?
