this is branching off from the favourite website topic (found here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... ).
a lot of websites have their own apps. and that is great.
I use Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, Instagram, Simpsons Tapped out Game, and facebook messenger on a daily basis.
i have other apps that i use weekly and others monthly.

so which ones do you use on a daily/weekly/monthly basis? (this includes games too).

5 stars Smart Audiobook Player, definitely worth paying to go premium. I paid $2 but I think it has increased to 3?

Is the best audiobook player for..., list, group, sort, equalizer (I never use), extra volume (sometimes), play back speed (essential for me now), and easy of use. I used to use Mort Player but this is better. I have 3 audiobook player apps that I currently use,

4 stars Hoopla- it is good but throws you out of the book if you pause for 5 minutes and then it has to re-establish you book. I download the book to device but it still does this even when not connected, just a little extra start time. Other than that it is great

3 stars Audible-Well, they keep screwing it up every update and impossible to side load like Kindle so you have to get the "new" and not improved, home screen and menu. Menu buttons are now at the bottom of the screen, it takes two steps to get to your list, after you are done, there is no way to get back to your list with a click... no you have to x out of the "rate this book" then x out of "send to someone", then you are dropped into the "home sales page" my nick name, which I never look at, so then you bring up the menu and ask for you library and finally you can select what you want to read next.

When you are driving and you come to the end of your book it is impossible so I leave it for a long light. The actually play back is good with nice controls in speed and back and forward 30 sec that is changeable.

4 stars Overdrive. It has been a while since I used it and my biggest issue was that I could only sign into one of my 5 libraries. It now allows you to have multiple libraries in their Libby App. I haven't used Libby yet.
