MP3 Audiobook Player 4+

Great app with a couple of arbitrary flaws

I have recently vowed to stop supporting Audible and have been totally blown away with the quality of this app. It has plenty of small quality of life features that make sorting and playing my audiobooks a lot easier. The app’s ability to automatically compile and keep track of my (often sporadic) files streamlines the upload process beautifully. I have so far only found two issues. The Home Screen widgets do not update with along with the book being played and do not transition from the detail image and text. This obviously does not affect the operation of the app itself, but would be helpful if fixed. Secondly, I have had a lot of difficultly with accessing the Wi-Fi upload feature. Getting large files onto your phone can be annoying, with cloud transfer often taking an age to occur. I was able to successfully use the app’s (incredibly useful) Wi-Fi upload only once. After that, each attempt to access your server has been met with error messages, or connection lasting only a few seconds before being booted again. Diagnostics claim that the issue is on the opposite end and not my side. I am therefore having to rely on the slow paced cloud transfer to move my books across.

Developer Response ,

Thank you! We can make investigation for fix described issues.

Great app!

I tried this app as it's free, I'm now going to upgrade to the paid version.
It took a little while for me to figure out, but the support from the designer was very helpful, and very quick.
There are several ways to download books onto your device. As I have a psychological allergy to turning on a pc if I can avoid it, I tried the cloud method and was impressed to see that it recognised my storage device (where I keep all my media) as a cloud option, meaning I could handle the whole download from the sofa using just my phone. As this proved quite lengthy for books broken down into more numerous files, I got off the sofa, switched on the pc and used the wifi/web dav method, which I found way faster. I haven't yet needed to bother with zipping folders, or even launching iTunes. But, if the other methods are anything to go by, that should be quick too.
The app bookmarks well, even in a multiple book scenario.
The only bug I found was when editing books to form them into series: the keyboard for typing the edit obscures the save button for saving the edit. Hitting "return" on the keypad gets rid of the keypad, and then you can reach the save button to keep your edit.
Overall, very pleased!
I'd recommend

Best App I've bought for ages!

I do a lot of long distance doing so I listen to a lot of audio books. I'd been struggling with the Audo app which didn't make importing files easily due to the method and the supported formats.
This however is so easy to import books, either single or multi file books, with support for most formats.
The interface is also clean and modern, I really can't fault the app.
