Dead end dialogue box flaw

A white Rate and Review box appears on the screen and cannot be removed unless I totally turn off the iPad. This is beyond infuriating. This seems to be s design flaw. Any recommendations would be welcome. This is not specific to any particular audiobook.

Great Buy

Ok, the recording quality isn’t great for some of these (sounding like a tape recorder in a lecture hall), but it is amazing to hear so many beloved poets reading their work. I feel it was definitely worth the price.

Tres Bien!

They are old recordings, but all the better for it, I think. The crackling, the pauses, made it all the more real and intense to me.
