★☆☆☆☆ TRASH!
New “Build my box” update is TRASH! The layout sucks now. Navigating through the app sucks now. Pick a book before you can view add-ons… why?? Also, no “new to add-ons” section. Omg I’m so annoyed I’m about to cancel. This app is horrible t…
★☆☆☆☆ Audio Books Don’t Save Place
I like almost everything about BOTM but their audiobook feature sucks. For the last several updates, what was an occasional problem has become a constant problem. It does not save your place so anytime you hit play, it restarts the whole bo…

🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
Profile is built from iTunes Lookup + developer site scrape + ML revenue model. Empty fields show "Not found" — additional sources (Crunchbase, X, IndieHackers, Acquire.com) coming.
