I was pretty pumped about this app when it first came out. Used it religiously to boost my stats and earn badges… then it crashed and tech support said my only option was to uninstall and reinstall. Of course when I did that it deleted all my stats. After that the app lost some of it’s luster. I’m hoping for a few improvements in future versions of the app.. like syncing all the stats back to audible.com so we can maintain all of our data if we have to switch phones or something.
