Constant crashing on latest update
Crashes in the background constantly after the last update. Can’t make it through whole podcast before it crashes. Happens in offline mode as well

Loading locally downloaded books.
I love the app. This is not a criticism but a bug. I think we need an option to load fully downloaded books without the need for the book trying to “handshake” the server I assume for keeping your place across different devices. Some times they fail to load until you turn off Wi-Fi. I’ve already got cellular data turned off to try and prevent this but the Wi-Fi will still cause it. We just need an option to say “I’m already downloaded I only use this device - I don’t need to talk to the server” so it loads immediately.
