The app has become so slow to populate the library. I have tried all the usual fixes. They worked for a day or so, and then the problem returned. I have two other e-reader apps, and they never cause a problem. I believe this is an app bug. Oddly, when I added the large Play Books widget, it instantly opens the book that I scroll to, but I will make no more book purchases with Google Play Books unless this is fixed. Responses from customer service were useless."

My audio book keeps stopping, and won't replay from.the drop down menu or headset. I have to re open the app. There is a reason I purchase audio books, it's so I don't have to hold something all the time. This is super frustrating. Googles' feedback with links did not fix the problem. The direct contact link is just a link to sign in."

It's an amazing reading app. I have no problems with it so far but I do have request I like to see in the future. 1. No Matter what device you are on, it will start you on the page that you left off. 2. I would like to see more highlighter color options or at least the option of a custom highlighter button. 3. Easy access of switching from ereader to auto book. That KS for your time."
