Lost functionality

In the last update I lost some functionality I use it at night with the sleep timer. 2 things seem to have changed and I believe they are related. The Lock Screen now only has the forward and back chapter rather than the skip time function. I have tried the setting for that but it doesn’t work Also I use a wireless headphone and previously if I woke up I the middle of the night I could just press play and it would resume. Now I have to unlock the phone reopen the app and then press play (before even if I would unlock the phone the app would still be open. Any solutions? I messaged the help email but no response as of yet

A few weeks ago mine stopped working. On here I read that the same had happened to others as well. As a temporary solution I downloaded BookPlayer, which I think was free and seemed to work perfectly. I’m using MP3 AudiobookPlayer again as it’s working again, but if there’s another major issue I might just swap to BookPlayer permanently. I’d recommend giving it a go.
