Intuitive interface (2 more)
Easy to use
Excellent Amazon Customer Service
Excellent way to enjoy books!
I've been using the Audible app for a little over 5 years now and I absolutely love it. It's equally easy to use on iPad and Android devices. The quality of the audiobooks available can't be beat, and the interface is incredibly easy to use. I would absolutely recommend the app to anyone who enjoys listening to audio books.
The one major downside of Audible is the subscription / credit system used to purchase the books. Books can be purchased outright or purchased through a monthly subscription system. I personally use the subscription that gives me 1 credit per month for $14/month. It can be expensive, but it's worth it if you enjoy listening to books while in the car or on the go. It's also a great way to multi-task. I love listening to books while I work on projects that keep my hands busy.

App doesn't work with smile.amazon for charity
Almost TOO easy!
Amazon has made shopping from your couch almost TOO simple! I have created "wish lists" for things I want to buy my son for Christmas. Amazon is wonderful about marking price drops and I have gotten some wonderful deals this way. I love that I have access to a wide range of products from around the world and customer reviews for those products. With my Prime membership I have the option for free 2 day shipping, but more frequently I choose the "no rush" shipping option. This takes a little longer but I receive credits for digital items such as Kindle books, music, and movie rentals.
This app doesn't work with the smile.amazon charity donations. This is the one drawback of the app, and it IS a big one for me.

We had seen this on Netflix and as it was down as a supernatural film we thought we would give it a go. It is over 2 hours and to be honest the first 75 minutes literally dragged, so much that we had to stop half way through to make a drink to stay awake. Gabriel Byrne is wasted in this as he is a very talented actor with such credits as Stigmata and End of Days but this failed to come close to any of those. Its a basic cult, resurrection film that doesn't even begin to look like it is until about twenty minutes to go. Its convoluted and has more plots that most Bruce Willis films. All in all i would not watch this if you are looking for a scary supernatural film. Its mre a toned down rosemary's baby type of thing.

Oh, look… 4 years later and a different Robin Williams. What is the difference? Well, Matt Damon for one thing. This is perhaps the most serious of the feel good films, riding that boundary boldly and without apology. I was obsessed with this film when it hit its Oscar vibe. I wanted it to win everything, such was its impact on me, and still is. No moment in cinema is more likely to break me than “It’s not your fault“. I am not sure I have ever seen it outside of the cinema without taking a pause there… Minnie Driver made two good films, this and Grosse Point Blank. And in this she is perfectly cast. The feel good factor comes from enduring the pain and seeing it to its conclusion, as Damon rides into the gloom to chase his girl. Perhaps the most satisfying end credits of all time! Just watch him drive towards happiness…

I quite liked this film. It was a little predictable at times, but it was also really heartwarming and based on a true story, which I love. I also love that they showed home videos and things during the credits, that’s my favorite part of watching any film that’s based on a true story. I think it just makes it feel more real and it connects the story a bit more in a way that just doesn’t happen if they don’t show pictures and videos.
I liked that the film was about Paige. There are some pretty big names in this film, Vince Vaughn and Dwayne Johnson being two, and it didn’t feel like they were taking away from her or her story. It felt like they were there to lift her up, which I appreciated.
I think this movie is a good watch if you want something lighthearted but still a nice feel good.
