Great app - option for File sharing iTunes

I’m a truck driver and over the years listened to thousands of audio books. I used to use another app for about 3 years and was great except if I turned ignition on it would restart boom. Do I hunted for a new app and found bound. WOW it’s great dimple just get it and use it. Like I said 1000’s of books I know what to expect in a fair app and a fantastic app. This app is 100% great. One question to the author how come you can’t access the app in the list of avail apps in file sharing while using iTunes. In saying that you can install new books by a heap of other methods. Well done Tim Bruno I love it.

Why why why no native locations support?!

This is a great audiobook player - in fact probably the only decent one besides iBooks, with a lot better functionality. But I don't want to have to download my audiobook collection, I have it on my computer. Why doesn't this app, instead of bothering manually supporting file system apis, just implement the native file picker in iOS so we can use whatever storage apps we have installed? Or, simpler yet, use iTunes file sharing so I can simply drop my collection in. It's beyond me why this wasn't added first.

I still give it four stars because I'm not one to hold stars for ransom - but I feel like it's a great app that is sorely missing a fairly obvious feature. It'd be five stars if I could just get my audiobooks in it!

Really well put-together!

I’ve been using Bound for quite a long time now, and there were a few niggles in the earlier stages, but now it’s really a quite well-rounded Audiobook player, and I’m really really happy with it!!

The only thing I would wish for now is for a watch app, in particular one that works independent of the iPhone. This way one could load the current book that you’re listening to on to the watch, and go out for a walk with just the watch and some Bluetooth headphones and still listen to your audiobook :)
