This app is immensely helpful! I feel like I've learned a lot, and have actually used the knowledge I've gained in my career. However, I'm not a fan of the AI voices as they pronounce things strangely, skip words, and sound so dry and stiff. I also would like to be able to save challenges to my library and, if possible choose a narrator. There is one male narrator who sounds like every word hurts his throat. Apologies if this voice is of a real person, and it's just the AI that's being weird.

Some of the content is good, but a lot of it is read by AI and it doesn't sound natural, which makes listening not a pleasant experience. However my biggest problem with the app is that it keeps crashing and autopausing. There's even videos in YouTube about how to "fix" the issue but those fixes don't always work. I've stopped using the app because of this even when I got a lifetime subscription.

While liking the content, I'm definitely annoyed by the "listening" feature as it keeps auto-playing every time I start the app. Just wanted to listen for a short time as I did other chores, but now it will keep playing at all times unless I manually pause; not a particularly good thing when you have a napping baby. Is there a way to remove that auto-play thing!? Tried the settings with no luck.
