I have used it for now 8 years and absolutely love it - but in certain iOS versions it has had glitches of lately preventing me from logging in which is super annoying

Unfortunately, the Downpour App has so many flaws that it is almost useless: - Downloading is very slow - Downloads do not continue in the backgound - Downloads can not be resumed These point result in making it almost impossible to download titles from Downpour with this app And to make things even worse: - You can not start to listen to a download while it is in progress

Consistently will stop playing in the middle of audio. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading both the app and the book, but it’s a consistent glitch.

App is frozen. No response. Downloaded Audible. Working fine. I’ll cancel the app once I figure out how. Colin Milde

I have been using this app for a few years now and I love it. This week I was having trouble with the app on my phone and I reached out to them and they replied immediately and fixed my issue. I would recommend this to anyone who loves audiobooks.

it was exactly what i needed: play my books with a shutoff timer. but a couple weeks ago suddenly my library no longer loads. The only book available is the one i was apparently listening to when the app updated and broke. Downpour now tells me that it requires iOS 18 - even though the compatability list here says iOS 15. Unless they can make an older version that will work on iOS 15 available, i guess i get to go back to downloads into Books or iTunes. This iPod works perfectly and there's no reason to replace it. iPod Touch (7th Gen), iOS 15.8.3, Downpour v7.0.2 build 8

[Removed negative review reaction to a broken app upgrade. Issue was fixed in less than a week.] Y’all rule, and I hope you know that. <3

Fortunately I only have a couple of “unread” Downpour books left. 7.0.1 doesn’t work on my iPad. REVISED-the app works on iPad now. 7.0.2.

The update fixes the problems.

Mostly the same books available endlessly. In recent months books that sell for the likes of $29.99 have appeared in 99 Cents deals. Clearly, nobody is minding the store. Hoopla does a much better job of providing new books (for free), and Audible (and sometimes Apple) are better buying options. Blackstone Audio, Downpour’s owner, is flailing.
