Ratings and Reviews
Great App
As an alternative to Audible when you already have audiobooks downloaded locally and just want to move them to your phone, there’s nothing better!
Great alternative
It has come a long way, almost like audible app.
Problem with playing audiobooks with multiple parts
This app is really great. I love the smart rewind function in it to jog your memory when you have to pause for some reason.
My only problem with it, and it isn’t a small one, is that whenever I play a book with multiple parts/chapters, as soon as it is done playing one part the app refuses to play the next one. I’m only met with silence. What’s stranger still is that the scrub bar continues to progress as though it IS playing, but there’s not sound. To fix the issue, I have to close the app, reopen, and press play again and then it resumes. This is obviously not feasible when you have a book with 200 parts at 3 or 4 minutes a piece. I’ve tried contacting the devs, but have been met with no reply. I may need to switch apps if there isn’t a solution available which is shame considering the price tag on this one.
