Thank you for your patience while we worked to locate your subscription! Because the email address associated with the account had been deleted, it was more difficult to find. Thankfully, our IT team was able to locate the subscription and issued your refund. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please reach out if you have any questions.

I've deleted and redownload multiple times hoping the app would be better but it never is. When you click a book to play it on cast, it never works. It plays a completely different, random book. So it's impossible to really choose what exact book you want. It will continue to default to a random book and you have to search through the random playlist it has and hope you eventually come across the book you want. Also the search doesn't work, you search for "Curious George" and nothing comes up.
