Hi, I am in total agreement with you about the chapter indication and have mentioned that throughout my dialogs with them both by phone and email. that glaring admission drives me mad. I can’t imagine these changes would be difficult to implement though admittedly I’m not a code writer. It’d be one thing if we never had such functionality such as fast-forward and back buttons that respond to gestures and the like before but to have had them and then lost them in the cases of some of these features is maddening and I said as much to them. Supposedly according to the response I got today such accessibility concerns will be addressed in version 2.1 as for whether that is in fact true or not time will tell I suppose. Oh me of little faith (smile). and my apologies if I earlier erroneously referred to the current update by the wrong version number it is in fact version 2.01 which was released. Thank you for joining me in contacting them about these feature requests the more the merrier I say and I, like you hope others will do likewise. Robin

I really would like them to upgrade their sleep timer so you can set the time simply as a custom time and also that there is a subtle warning 10 or 20 seconds before the timer runs out and an easy way to reset it if you are stil l awak and hear the warning. The sleep timer app “iTired” does this beautifully, but unfortunately you can’t use it with third-party apps, only the native music app. Another big thing I would like to see fixed is the fact that there is no indication in the Chapters and Bookmarks area which chapter is currently playing. If Voiceover said “Now Playinbg” or “Selected” or whatever when you come across the chapter that is playing at the time it would make it much easier to find your chapter and either double tap on the one before or the one after. I will write to Audible again with these suggestions and hope as many as possible join me in this.

In version 2.1 I still can’t get the 2 finger gesture to activate back buttons. and I still can’t fathom for the life of me why it is that the time elapsed indicator allows you to change its value by swiping or flicking upward and yet it returns to its original position when playback of a book resumes. Here’s hoping in future such functionality will be restored. Robin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
