Storytel: Audiobooks & Ebooks - Latest Quality Issues

Max speed decreased to 2x from 3x

I have had a subscription for this app for over 5 years now, and I have generally enjoyed all the updates. The most recent update, however, doesn't allow the user to set a custom audiobook speed above 2×, which is rather annoying. After all, I tend to listen to books at [value]x or 3x speed. I hope Storytel can readjust this update and, in doing so, maintain a user-friendly platform.

While I was looking at a book from your site, I said, oh good, let me sign up and pay right away and read the book. I looked at the voiceover of that book on your TR site is only in Spanish, can there be such a shipownership, or are you deceiving people to become a member and pay? As for the cancellation of the membership, I could not find the application anywhere. Title of the book: [name] - Beyond Entrepreneurship It's really a waste of time and sad Pin it to the head so that people can see how sad and funny their marketing strategy is.

Lately, they lowered the listening speed limit to x2, a really unnecessary change. I've been subscribed for years and can't understand this decision.

Very disappointed after last update
Please bring back the adjusted speed setting. So disappointing that you can't hear faster than 2x. That's the only reason I switched to Storytel at the time. Everyone thinks this update is bad!

Some recent update has limited the custom speed selector to max out at [value], which is enough for most narrators, but some talk so slow I can go up to 3.0. A sudden flood of (AI generated?) summaries of books, makes it harder to find interesting books, especially fantasy/scifi since the category is already flooded with subpar quality litrpg books. Adding a "not interested" list so you could hide titles from views would help. The "default" sorting order seems useless, maybe a database id?

Why isn't the [value]x speed not available any more?

With every new update, the app gets worse, removing features and introducing new bugs: 1) They are charging more than the cost of the subscription. 2) Sync between audio and ebook is now bugged and unreliable. 3) You can no longer play speeds higher than 2x. 4) They removed the notification bar when you're in the player. 5) The website is both bugged and downgraded. 6) Their e-reader has sentences missing on each page. ... and that's just a few examples. Think it's time to swap to BookBeat.

Everything would be great... If it weren't for two things that irritate me: 1.there is no way to add titles to the play queue. 2. Rewinding playback is some kind of draw, because it often happens that instead of rewinding, it turns out that there is a jump forward.
