Latest reviews of Direct to Player app for iPhone and iPad

Books at my finger tips any times. Yahoo.
Great book player love the books at my fingertips. App could use some improvement. Wish the sleep timer would turn off automatically after use. Find the moderate crashing issues frustrating. Do you wish that it would play back to back book better.
Direct two player
This is a very basic audio book reading app that does mute most of the accessibility standards for people using voice over. However, the audio quality both at regular speaking rate and enhance speaking rate is very poor compared with similar apps such as overdrive, voice stream, and audible. The app requires a significant upgrade with respect to audio quality in order to become truly viable.
