Hackmondford, any idea if we will be able to download individual stories of a boxset in the future rather than having to do the whole thing? Funny, I just wondered the exact same thing...

I don't think there's any plans to support this since you cannot do this via the website either. The downloads are made available to the app the same way they are on the website. This usually means a zip file of the m4b or mp3 version. The app just defaults to the m4b version.

I started this topic and commented a few times on frequent download issues with the app. I’m now blaming those on my previous phone. I got a new one recently and haven’t had any download issues.
So now my only gripe/request remaining is the back 30 seconds button. I mostly listen whilst driving or when walking my dog. I still find barely a few minutes of listening go by without a brief distraction or traffic noise or my rubbish hearing meaning I miss a line and have to rewind. Jumping back 30 seconds is too long.
On an hour long walk yesterday I only got through 40 mins of a story, such was the frequency of my rewindy-need and the time wasted relistening to 20-25 seconds that I had heard fine first time round. It becomes especially frustrating if I need three or four goes at making out a line that’s been mumbled or spoken in the midst of loud effects or music or said by a computer or robots*.
Is there any likelihood this could be shortened or made customisable. I’ve been using Audible a lot too. Its app goes back 10 seconds which seems just right for me and my cloth ears.
*I am not looking forward to the imminent future of having to converse with all our technology.
Me: Fridge, do we have milk? Fridge: I did not hear that. Please repeat. Me: What? Fridge: Please repeat. Me: You want me to take a seat? Fridge: Meat to take to beach. Searching. We have ham or bacon. Me: No, that’s not what... we have bacon, you say? Fridge: Searching. Sorry, no beer cans found. Me: This is hopeless. Kettle, make me tea. Kettle: Affirmative. Making meat tea. Fridge, please provide meat. Fridge: Hey, Kettle. We have ham or bacon. Me: I give up. Big Finish app, play now. BF App: Playing... The Doctor: Furmgle darngle hibnibble, Peri. Me: Wind back for seven seconds. BF App: Rewinding forty-seven minutes... Me: Noooooo! Nick Briggs: You’re listening to a Big Finish Production. Painfully slowly. Maybe you should read a book instead. Me: When did the BF intro become intelligent and sarcastic?

An update today for the BF app (on iOS for me anyway) now means that you can download any bonus content attached to your purchases... AND plenty of other new things including the ability to view/download Vortex issues from within the app!!! (Wow!) This new update to the BF App calls for a ... Well done BF and the person responsible.

Woohoo! You guys noticed Android and iOS will have the same features. We're currently doing a phased release of both versions. Once it's gone out to everyone, I'll be pestering them to post it on social media If your device doesn't have the new version, you should be able to manually update the app in your devices respective store. Otherwise, you can wait for it to be dished out to you automatically.

This could simply be server related and not have anything to do with the app, but tonight (after the update) I’m finding that download speeds have plummeted.
Downloading four Early Adventures (which I don’t remember buying but apparently did), for over 30 minutes at this point, with two of them still crawling along.
As I said - this could simply be a server issue, but I thought I’d mention it here on the off chance anyone else runs into similar issues following an app update.

For example, re- downloaded An Alien Werewolf in London which should have a bonus short trip associated with it. But nothing shows up in the Bonus tab in the menu. Anyone else? Or am I doing something wrong?

A bug on my app I think, when I'm playing a release I'm only getting a portion of the front cover showing.
This is after I've clicked on the large bar at the bottom of the screen for a selected release.
Hackmondford, you are needed.

Can I say thank you to the guy who makes the app cause this has honestly made my life easier listening to Big finish by saving me time and money

But nothing shows up in the Bonus tab in the menu. It's working for me, at least. I wrote this Short Trip, and it's so fabulous to finally get it straight to the app! Please do check it out, if you haven't already! No excuses anymore! 😉

Also note:
The bonus section in the side-menu will only list bonus content that is downloaded to your device.
To download it in the first place, you have to go to the release and in its details page will be a tab called bonus.
