Audiobook Player SmartBook 4+

Hiccups

The app is great with its set of hiccups. It does remember where you left off and fairly easy to download apps. The hiccups consist of the app crashing when deleting audiobooks, sometimes uploading, and sometimes glitches on playback if you're not in the app itself. So far it’s tolerable since its delivering what i want. I’ve listened to more audiobooks everyday than i ever had before and i am truly over the moon happy. Just looking forward to an update to fix the bug issues

Best App for Downloaded Audiobooks!

I commute daily to work and have several audiobook series downloaded. For a while I had been streaming them off my personal server, but it lacked the ability to remember my playback position and chewed through my cellular data plan. I downloaded and tired several other MP3-type players, none had the ability to easily add my audiobook mp3 files, or save my playback position. Until I found the SmartBook app! It has been exactly what I was looking for. Adding books was incredibly easy, especially when I was able to do it from the computer remotely to my iOS device. The settings and navigation are simple to use and work really well. If you’re an audiobook fan, and need an app to play your saved MP3 files, I would highly recommend this app! On a side note: The developer really cares about the continued enhancement of the app. I personally emailed him inquiring about integration with Apples new ‘shortcut’ app and he replied quickly and expressed interest in hearing my suggestions! Highly recommend and hope you enjoy the app as much as I have!

Great Free Reader App!

Update: The developer has added the feature that saves where you left off when you relaunch the app. Now the app has everything I need for the perfect audio-book application! Thanks for your responsiveness!

I use this app during my 45-minute commute and am enjoying all the free books and public domain classics. If I have one criticism (which is why 4 instead of 5 stars), it is that if you close the app and then later reopen it, it does not go immediately to where you left off. You must reselect the chapter that you were reading, but fortunately it keeps your place within the chapter. It would be nice if there was a setting to launch the book, chapter, and location within the chapter immediately so you can get back to where you were. Safer for commuters.

Other than that minor inconvenience, the app is terrific and I highly recommend it.
