Has been crashing more than ever since the update. It stops playing audiobooks after less than a minute sometimes, even when I am connected to the internet. So frustrating as this would be my favourite app otherwise.

Don’t recognise it as an app. The icon doesn’t appear until I go on Safari key in Glose, enter my email address and password, then search for the book I selected to read. I expected an icon, tap it, see the book I’m reading and then read it! Avery complicated app, the guide can’t be followed. In short not impressed

The app used to crash when I tried to listen to a book. We've gotten over that hurdle! I'll update again after I've had more opportunity to use the app.

Hey Wayne, we're so sorry about this issue! The previous version of Glose for Android that we rolled out has a bug that can cause crashing due to newer Android requirements. We've now fixed the bug, and if you update to the latest version of the app it will be fixed!

What’s new

The latest previous version unfortunately contained a big bug where opening books could crash the app.

That issue is now fixed, our deepest apologies for the issue!
