Great app

The best MP3 audiobook player I've found. Recent updates have fixed the annoying autoplay issue too. Would give it 5 stars if remote pausing didn't stop working after 20 minutes or so

Recommended.

Best audiobook app around

I listen to audiobooks a lot and have tried a wide variety of different apps, but none as good as this one. It just does what it’s supposed to and is very easy to use. I listen in the car a lot so the controls are perfect for that, just a tap on the main screen to stop or start, but equally listening at home is just as easy. The automatic bookmark app is one of the best things about it, you never lose your place. If you have audiobooks stored elsewhere there are a variety of import options, in my case Dropbox where you can just download directly into the app. The book layout is great, with pictures of the book you’re listening to and it’s easy to reorder by name/author etc. and delete once listened to. It’s one app I couldn’t be without and is definitely head and shoulders above any other audiobook app on the market, even the ‘main’ one!

Could be great but infuriating to use.

Could be a great app, but suffers from several bugs that makes it infuriating to use.

Firstly is the fact that whenever you restart, it doesn’t restart at the place you left off. Invariably it chooses an older bookmark to start from, and you have to open the bookmarks list, select the one that was when you last stopped it, and start from there. This bug has been there ever since I’ve used it.

Secondly some functions are hard / unrepeatable to find. Occasionally I need to reorder the play order of files. Getting to the edit screen appears to involve randomly tapping the top of the play screen until somehow it opens up. Maybe I’m missing something, but it’s not obvious or repeatable as far as I can tell.

But the good is that adding books is straightforward with multiple ways to upload (personally I use the browser version which allows you to drag and files on your PC onto a browser page and it uploads automatically and reliably).

It also accepts many file formats so that great too.

But please. Fix those bugs.
